The ndmpd(1M) daemon is managed by the service management facility
(smf(5)), under the service identifier:
svc:/system/ndmpd
Administrative actions on this service, such as setting and getting a
property can be alternatively performed using svccfg(1M). For example
to enable Direct Access Recovery (DAR) mode:
# svccfg -s svc:/system/ndmpd
svc:/system/ndmpd> setprop ndmpd/dar-support = yes
...and to get the list of properties:
# svccfg -s svc:/system/ndmpd
svc:/system/ndmpd> listprop
