Importing and Applying Manifests and Profiles

When you restart the manifest-import service, manifests in standard locations are imported and profiles in standard locations are applied if they are new or changed. See Service Bundles for manifest and profile standard locations. If importing a manifest or applying a profile results in the service being started or stopped, the appropriate method is executed if one exists.

Specifying a file in a standard location to the svccfg import command restarts the manifest-import service.

Recommended best practice is to put your manifest and profile files in the standard locations and restart the manifest-import service rather than use the svccfg import or svccfg apply commands.

Code Block
$ svcadm restart manifest-import

When you restart the manifest-import service, the configuration in profiles and manifests in standard locations is applied to the manifest, system-profile, or site-profile layer of affected instances, affected instances are refreshed and validated, and a new snapshot is created.
