Indo em Gerenciamento de serviços do sistema no Oracle® Solaris 11.2 , sob Importando e Aplicando Manifestos e Perfis , diz:
Recommended best practice is to put your manifest and profile files in the standard locations and restart the manifest-import service rather than use the svccfg import or svccfg apply commands.
Além disso, a tabela em Camadas de repositório indica:
Note that /var/svc/manifest is deprecated as a standard location and should not be used for new manifests.
Encontrei então a seção Repositório de Configuração de Serviço , onde Service Bundles diz:
The standard location for manifests is /lib/svc/manifest.
