I'm currently studying for the Solaris 11 OCA. I watched this after reading the chapter on SMF. It really helped me grasp the material better. Thank you!!!

Thanks. This video helps. However, I have a specific problem. I have a service defined by an xml file. In that file is an exec_method, which has a method_context, which has <method_credential_user user="root" group="root" />. The service currently works very well, however I have a new requirement to run this service as non root. I assume this credential needs to change to some user or role that I add. Do have any videos or other sources that might explain the mechanics of doing this? I thank you in advance for your time.

Hi Rajesh,
Thank you for these lessons of Solaris 11. In this episode, you mentioned about milestone:none, is it possible to record a lesson about it if the boot gets corrupted, please..?!
One more question: is there an iLOM simulator to practice its commands and getting accustomed to using it?!
Thank you so much.
