Details
Note this check is only applicable for Solaris 10 <= 11/06
The Solaris Volume Manager, formerly known as Solstice DiskSuite, provides functionality for managing disk storage, disk arrays, etc. However, many systems without large storage arrays do not require that these services be enabled or may be using an alternate volume manager rather than the bundled SVM functionality. This service is disabled by default in the OS.
Solution
To disable the Solaris Volume Manager, run the following commands-
svcadm disable svc:/system/metainit
svcadm disable svc:/system/mdmonitor
In addition, run the appropriate command for the Solaris 10 level that you are running-
Solaris 10 <= 11/06
svcadm disable svc:/platform/sun4u/mpxio-upgrade
Solaris 10 >= 8/07
svcadm disable svc:/system/device/mpxio-upgrade
