0.  Number:
    PSARC/2008/693-01

1.  This contract is between
	a SUPPLIER of INTERFACES and
	a CONSUMER of those INTERFACES,
    both of whom are entities within Sun Microsystems, Incorporated.

2.  The SUPPLIER (definer and/or implementor) is identified by the following:
    Product or Bundle:				Solaris OS
    Consolidation:				ON
    Department or Group:			Solaris Approachability
    Bugster Product/Category/SubCategory:	solaris/utility/smf
    Responsible Manager:

3.  The CONSUMER is identified by the following:
    Product or Bundle:				Solaris OS
    Consolidation:				ON
    Department or Group:			Solaris Core Technologies
    Bugster Product/Category/SubCategory:	solaris/network/vrrp
    Responsible Manager:			Zhaozhou Li

4.  The INTERFACES are:

name:		_scf_pg_wait()
stability:	Project Private
description:	To monitor state changes of an SMF instance. VRRP will utilize
		this interface to detect failures of specific SMF instances and
		trigger fail-over to provide redundancy for that service.

5.  The ARC controlling these INTERFACES is:			PSARC

6.  The CASE describing (Exporting) these INTERFACES is:	PSARC/2002/547

7.  The following SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS are made which modify the rules
    imposed by the stability levels listed in section 4 above:

_N_ 7a. Although the stability level doesn't normally restrict it,
        SUPPLIER promises to only modify INTERFACES in an incompatible
	way as follows:

_N_ 7b. Although the stability level doesn't normally allow it, CONSUMER will
        expose INTERFACES to a PARTNER, which is external to Sun, namely:
		Name of Company:
		Name of Department or Group within Company:
		Responsible Manager:

_N_ 7c. Although the stability level doesn't normally allow it, CONSUMER will
        import INTERFACES from a separate consolidation.

_Y_ 7d. If SUPPLIER decides to change (including replace or remove) any
	portion of the INTERFACES, SUPPLIER will notify CONSUMER of the
	proposed new version, no later than the application for ARC
	approval of the new version.
	If SUPPLIER and CONSUMER are contained in the same consolidation,
	they have the option of arranging for simultaneous conversion
	to the new interfaces.  If this is not possible, or if they are
	not in the same consolidation, then SUPPLIER will either make best
	effort to work with CONSUMER so that CONSUMER can detect which
	version of INTERFACES is being supplied, or else SUPPLIER will
	make best effort to supply both old and new versions of
	INTERFACES.
	If SUPPLIER cannot make both versions of INTERFACES available,
	and SUPPLIER and CONSUMER cannot devise a method whereby
	CONSUMER can detect which version of INTERFACES is being
	supplied, and the old version of CONSUMER will not run with the
	new version of SUPPLIER, then either the EOL process must be
	followed by SUPPLIER, or else a major release of SUPPLIER will
	be required, or the change will not be allowed.

8. If CONSUMER requires changes in INTERFACES, SUPPLIER will make
   best effort to accommodate such changes, which shall then be
   treated in accordance with paragraph 7 above.

9. Notwithstanding paragraphs 7 and 8, a change to any portion
   of the INTERFACES shall be regarded as a completely new set of
   INTERFACES which require both ARC approval and execution of
   a new contract.

10. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that evolution of INTERFACES shall be
    handled as follows:

    The SUPPLIER will obtain agreement/approval, from the consumer,
    of any change to the interfaces before implementing any change
    which affects the output of the interface.

11. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that INTERFACES will be supported as
    follows:

    SUPPLIER will provide unit testing for all INTERFACES.  Bugs will
    reported and responded to through the normal bug tracking (bugster)
    process.

12. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that INTERFACES will be documented as
    follows:

    In section 4 of this contract.

13. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that changes to the INTERFACES will be
    tested as follows:

    SUPPLIER will provide unit testing functional testing.  CONSUMER 
    will provide system-level testing

14. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that this contract can be terminated as
    follows:

    this contract.  E-mail agreement to the contract should be archived
