svc Errors on OS startup

I'm having these weird errors.


Code:
svc.configd: Fatal error: Backend copy failed: fails to read from /etc/svc/repository.db at offset 106496: Bad file number
svc.configd: Fatal error: unable to create "boot" backup of "/etc/svc/repository.db"
Mar 10 13:04:23 svc.startd[7]: svc:/network/iscsi/initiator:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/iscsid" failed with exit status 96.
Mar 10 13:04:23 svc.startd[7]: network/iscsi/initiator:default misconfigured: transitioned to maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details)

The first two I'm a little bit more concerned about... I googled them and not too much appeared for me to browse through. I found something about it Open Solaris as being a known bug.

Any ideas?

Thank you

who -r
showrev
svcs -xv
df -h

The log files didn't mention anything about these errors... Just sendmails because of my domain. (or lack of one)

you can check /etc/svc/volatile/db_errors. also check out Sun Message ID: SMF-8000-MY.

Can you reboot again? Does this happen again?
