Solaris 11 electronics-prognostics blunder
From the log file for the electronic-prognostics service, /var/svc/log/system-electronic-prognostics:default.log, we have:
Disabling superseded service svc:/system/ep:default
Service svc:/system/ep:default is superseded by svc:/system/electronic-prognostics:default. Please remove it using "pkgrm SUNWephost"
If you follow this advise, ie do a pkgrm SUNWephost, you also remove the method which starts the newer electronics-prognostics service, /lib/svc/method/epcmds, so that electronics-prognostics ends up in maintenance at next startup. Luckily, the new Solaris 11 pkg command has a "fix" command. "pkg fix electronics-prognostics" recreates the method and you can clear the maintenance flag for the service. This clearly must be a bug...
