Problem
BACKGROUND
Installing VOM at the Central Server (CS) involves 2 steps.
1) Installing the VOM software at the command line.
2) Configure the software using a web browser.
ISSUE
During the configuration, an error is displayed about configuring the database (the installation wizard will automatically perform a rollback and display a link to view the configuration log).
Error
GUI:
Central Server configuration log:
[02/02/2012 13:50:40] Executing: /opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/xdbadm -s ***** HABDBSYNC -p ***** --odbc /etc/vx/VRTSsfmcs/.odbc.ini --database SFMdb3 --conf /var/opt/VRTSsfmcs/conf

# svcadm enable -s svc:/system/vxsfmcsdb:default
svcadm: Instance "svc:/system/vxsfmcsdb:default" has unsatisfied dependenciesEnvironment
Solaris 10
VOM 4.1
The issue appears to be isolated to a behavior of Solaris Fault Manager (SFM) service and may occur outside this specific environment.
Cause
Unknown dependency error using SFM service to start the VOM database during configuration. Presumably some type of system security hardening.
Solution
WORKAROUND
file to modify: /opt/VRTSsfmcs/config/adm/config_db.pl
(database configuration script)
change these 2 lines:
execute_cmd_log_only("svcadm enable -s svc:/system/vxsfmcsdb:default $DEV_NULL", "");
`echo "svcadm enable -s svc:/system/vxsfmcsdb:default" >> $upgradefile`;
to:
execute_cmd_log_only("$DB_BIN_DIR/db_start.sh $DEV_NULL", "");
`echo "$DB_BIN_DIR/db_start.sh" >> $upgradefile`;
NOTE: VOM database will be started during configuration using init db_start script rather than svcadm enable command
