Hello Casper, Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
When I try to register my service with rpc, rpcbind will fail and will stop accepting any further rpc bind requests. Here is the error information from rpcinfo. bash-3.00# rpcinfo -p rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Failed (unspecified error) bash-3.00# svcs | grep rpc offline Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc/gss:default offline Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc/meta:default offline Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc/smserver:default offline Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc/mdcomm:default offline Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc/metamed:default offline Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc/metamh:default offline Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc/rstat:default offline Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc/rusers:default maintenance Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc/bind:default maintenance Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc-100235_1/rpc_ticotsord:default maintenance Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc-100083_1/rpc_tcp:default maintenance Nov_27 svc:/network/rpc-100068_2-5/rpc_udp:default Even though I try to restart rpcbind, it fails and remains in maintenance mode. This issue doesn't get resolved even when the system is rebooted. This issue is found only on Solaris 10 with the following installation modes: 1. Complete installation with OEM support. 2. Complete installation without OEM support. 3. Developer environment/installation. This works only with End User Installation mode.

Whenever I try to bind my service with rpc, r pcbind is geting pushed into maintenance mode. Why is it so? It is seen only with complete installa tion of Solaris 10, both with and without OEM support. It works fine when I install Solaris 10 with "End User Installation" There is not a lot of information there; what does "maintenance mode" entail in this case? Log messages from rpcbind? Does the process go away and can it not be restarted? Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
