Newly created inetd service always in maintenance state in solaris 11

Question

Till solaris 10, below were the steps I followed to create an inetd service which worked fine for me, below are steps:

Open /etc/inet/inetd.conf file and add my application binary with all required arguments as line below:

myApp_5000 stream tcp nowait root /home/jack/myApp/bin/myApp myApp -h -P /home/jack/myApp/bin
Open /etc/inet/services file and add a entry there also as below:

myApp_5000 5000/tcp
Finally I used to execute the below command:

inetconv -f

This will automatically create my service and everythings works fine till Solaris 10.

But now in Solaris 11, when I perform the same exact steps first I get below error message when I execute command "inetconv -f":

The manifest being imported is from a standard location and should be imported with the command : svcadm restart svc:/system/manifest-import

Secondly, my service gets created but does not works, as it remains in maintenance state always, see below:

svcs | grep myApp

maintenance    12:35:03 svc:/network/myApp_5000/tcp:default

I tried disabling and enabling the service but didn't helped. Is there anything changed in Solaris 11 with respect to this, or am I doing it in the wrong way.

OS info:

uname -a

SunOS myhost 5.11 11.3 i86pc i386 i86pc

not sure what to check in inetadm, also now in another solaris 11 server services are not even getting displayed. Should i check something in inetadm — mSatyam, Mar 17 '17 at 21:57

Do an:

ls -ltr /var/svc/log/|tail

look inside the relevant log file for your service, and see if there are any clues...
