_________ serves as the interface between the SMF repository and the user to ensure that a consistent,
picture of the repository is presented to the user.
A.
repository.db
B.
service manifest
C.
svc.startd
D.
svc.configd
Explanation:
SVC.CONFIGD is the repository daemon responsible for maintaining /etc/svc/repository.db. The repository.db
must come clean during this integrity check otherwise it is a “no go” for usual boot sequence to run level 3. The
repository may get corrupted due to various hardware issues, software bugs, disk write failures, etc.
Note: When svc.configd(1M), the Solaris Repository Daemon, is started, it does an integrity check of the smf(5)
repository, stored in /etc/svc/repository.db. This integrity check can fail due to a disk failure, the database file
being corrupted either due to a hardware bug, a software bug, or an accidental overwrite. If the integrity check
fails, svc.configd will write a message to the console.
