Which option would send an email message to the system administrator whenever a service changes to the maintenance state?

You want the system to generate an email notification each time one of the services has changed
its state. Which option would send an email message to the system administrator whenever a
service changes to the maintenance state?

A.
Use the setsc command in ALOM to enable the mail alerts to be sent to a specified email
address whenever the fault management facility detects a service change to the maintenance
state.

B.
Make an entry in the /etc/syslog.conf file to instruct syslogd to send an email alert when it
receives a message from the SMF facility that a service has changed to the maintenance state.

C.
Use the svccfg setnotify command to create a notification and send an email when a service
enters the maintenance state.

D.
Use the scvadm command to enable the notification service. Set the �g maintenance option on
the netnotify service to send an email when a service enters the maintenance state.

Explanation:
This procedure causes the system to generate an email notification each time one
of the services or a selected service has a change in state. You can choose to use either SMTP or
SNMP. Normally, you would only select SNMP if you already have SNMP configured for some
other reason.
By default, SNMP traps are sent on maintenance transitions. If you use SNMP for monitoring, you
can configure additional traps for other state transitions.
1. Become an administrator or assume a role that includes the Service Management rights profile.
2. Set notification parameters.
Example:
The following command creates a notification that sends email when transactions go into the
maintenance state
# /usr/sbin/svccfg setnotify -g maintenance mailto:[email protected]
