Setting Up MySQL

The procedure to register MySQL service with SMF and to start the database server instance is described below.

To Start the Database Server Instance

1. Check the status of the SMF service.

   The mysql;version_50 service is disabled by default.

   example% svcs mysql
   STATE         STIME     FMRI
   disabled      14:27:09  svc:/application/database/mysql:version_50

2. Enable the mysql:version_50 service.

   example%svcadm enable mysql:version_50

3. Check the status of the service.

   example% svcs mysql
   STATE          STIME    FMRI
   online         14:30:08 svc:/application/database/mysql:version_50

   The state of the service is online, and the database server is started successfully.
