xen discuss - Oct 2007 - Cleaning up services after upgrading from Xen Drop b66 to xVm b75a

Upgrading from Xen Drop b66 to xVm b75 worked really well.

New services definitions have been created:

svc:/system/xvm/xend:default replaces svc:/system/xctl/xend:default
svc:/system/xvm/store:default replaces svc:/system/xctl/store:default

However the old services have not been deleted. Even though xen will still works
fine, you''ll get confusing error messages at boot:

Oct 26 07:10:30 svc.startd[7]: system/xctl/store:default failed repeatedly:
transitioned to maintenance (see ''svcs -xv'' for details)
Oct 26 07:10:30 svc.startd[7]: failed to abandon contract 60: Permission denied

So after the upgrade make sure you do the following:

  svcadm disable svc:/system/xctl/xend
  svcadm disable svc:/system/xctl/store
  svccfg delete /system/xctl/xend:default
  svccfg delete /system/xctl/store:default

Also if you are using b75 (should be fixed in >=b76), there is a workaround
for bug id 6612343
echo >>/etc/system set softcall_delay=0x100000
