I tried to clear and restart the multi-user service. However,after about 3 minutes, it went back to maintenance mode. This is what I saw in the log:

Code:
[ Apr 30 13:00:09 Leaving maintenance because clear requested. ]
[ Apr 30 13:00:09 Enabled. ]
[ Apr 30 13:00:09 Executing start method ("/sbin/rc2 start") ]

/usr/iplanet/ds5/slapd-Turquoise/start-slapd

This is what is in the log file for svc:/network/ldap/client:default
Code:
[ Apr 30 13:00:03 Leaving maintenance because clear requested. ]
[ Apr 30 13:00:03 Enabled. ]
[ Apr 30 13:00:03 Executing start method ("/usr/lib/ldap/ldap_cachemgr") ]
[ Apr 30 13:02:03 Method or service exit timed out.  Killing contract 110 ]
[ Apr 30 13:02:03 Method "start" failed due to signal KILL ]

I am still at a loss (:

The problem should be here:
Code:
lsvcrun: Service "/etc/rc2.d/S72directory" has an invalid property group.
Executing legacy init script "/etc/rc2.d/S72directory" despite previous errors.
/usr/iplanet/ds5/slapd-Turquoise/start-slapd
[ Apr 30 13:30:12 Method or service exit timed out.  Killing contract 111 ]

Investigate this service...

Is your machine its own ldap client ? ( cat /var/ldap/ldap_client_file )

Yes, my machine is its own ldap client. Is that a problem?

I can think of a deadlock when it needs to query ldap in order to start ldap service.
Have all needed information in /etc files, and files before ldap in nsswitch.conf!

Thank you so much to NukeDuke2 and MadeinGermany. Your suggestions helped me fix the problem.

So, here are the steps that I took:
· I went in and renamed /etc/rc2.d/S72directory to /etc/rc2.d/s72directory so that it did not get started in multi-user mode.
· Cleared and restarted the multi-user service.
· This got the multi-user service and all its dependent services that were offline before, back online. Did the same for dmi service and the ipp-listener service.
· Now, only the ldap/client service was in maintenance.
· Then looked at /etc/nsswitch.conf file and noticed that there were several entries that had ldap before files. Renamed /etc/nsswitch.conf to /etc/nsswitch.conf.old and changed all the entries so that it looked at the local files before it looked at ldap.
· I started the directory service and it started.
· Cleared and restarted the ldap/client service

Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

That's a big problem. This configuration is not supported and leads to the issue you are experiencing.

From Chapter*8 Introduction to LDAP Naming Services (Overview/Reference) (System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP))
A directory server (an LDAP server) cannot be its own client. That is, you cannot configure the machine that is running the directory server software to become an LDAP naming services client.

The reason why is Solaris starts the client services first, then the server ones. Assuming you have more than one directory server master, you should at least point your ldap client configuration to the remote machine (and reciprocally).

That would allow a clean reboot but won't be enough though if both LDAP servers are rebooted at the same time.

It is not guarantee your current configuration, i.e. with ldap after files in nsswitch.conf, won't hang again at next reboot.
