Encapsulating SMF services with SUNW.Proxy_SMF_failover

I am trying to use SUNW.Proxy_SMF_failover to register an SMF services.

My problem is that I have more instance per one service for example: svc:/application/xchange/application:a
svc:/application/xchange/application:b.

After I register svc:/application/xchange/application:a when I try to register svc:/application/xchange/application:b I get a message saying that the manifest is already used by another resource.

How can I register SUNW.Proxy_SMF_failover with a manifest that has more instances?

Thank you,

The two instances should both be sub-clauses of a single manifest file.

I used this file when I register the resource and is not working.

<svc:/system/cluster/applicaton:a>,\
</var/svc/manifest/system/cluster/application.xml>
<svc:/system/cluster/applicaton:b>,\
</var/svc/manifest/system/cluster/application.xml>

Do you have an example of contents of the text file when you have more instances?

I do not have a manifest for my application in /var/svc/manifest/system/cluster/application.xml

I am confused. You listed a manifest in your example above. application.xml.

yes but the path to my manifest is /var/svc/manifest/application/myapp/application.xml

insdie the xml file i fave 3 instances:

<instance name='a' enabled='false'>
....
<instance name='b' enabled='false'>
....
<instance name='c' enabled='false'>
.....

I am sorry I made a mistake.
My manifest is in /var/svc/manifest/application/myapp/application.xml the first path was an example from sun documentation.

In my manifest I have 3 instances but I can start only one in the cluster the second one is in uninitialized:
bash-3.00# svcs -a |grep application
online 15:51:48 svc:/application/application/application:b
uninitialized 15:51:40 svc:/application/application/application:a

Not sure why. The designated restarter has not even processed it yet. Is the service instance enabled or might it take a long time to come online?

When I enable the resource in the cluster I get this:

SC[SUNW.Proxy_SMF_failover,applicationtest1,resource-6,smf_proxy_resource_start]: Return the door call result: 0
SC[SUNW.Proxy_SMF_failover,applicationtest1,resource-6,smf_proxy_resource_start]: In get status info door result: 0

Cluster.SMF.DR:
applicationtest1 svc:/application/app/application:a->In scf_simple_prop_get:entity not found, method: sc_delegated_pg
applicationtest1 Cluster.SMF.DR:
applicationtest1 svc:/application/app/application:b->In scf_simple_prop_get:entity not found, method:
applicationtest1 Cluster.SMF.DR:
applicationtest1 Transient: 1003, entity not found
applicationtest1 Cluster.SMF.DR:
applicationtest1 svc:/application/app/application:a->In scf_simple_prop_get:entity not found, method: startd
applicationtest1 Cluster.SMF.DR:
applicationtest1 Transient: 1003, entity not found

And the cluster is in pending online for a long time and finally comes online but the instances are not online if I restart the cluster group some time I receive the stop failed flag and other times is restarting with no problem but still the services are not online or is only one online.

Thank you
