Data Machine is booting to maintenance mode.
I had a power failure the other day and when my relatively new Solaris 10 machine rebooted it is thrown into maintenance mode.

I've found the following lines in the /var/adm/messages file, I'm assuming this is the root cause of the problem. However, I don't have the slightest idea on how to correct it.

Code:
Jul 18 17:14:55 SunFile svc.startd[7]: [ID 652011 daemon.warning] svc:/network/rpc/bind:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/rpc-bind start" failed with exit status 1.

Any ideas?

It looks like that is the problem.

Have a look at the logs in /var/svc/log, and see if you can find any more deatil about why rpc/bind is not starting.

network-rpc-bind-default.log only shows that the service exited with a status of 1, 6 times.

Is "/lib/svc/method/rpc-bind" a generic file I can replace with a copy from the CD?

Sorry, I missed a line from the log, is /etc/netconfig missing on your machine?

No, that's there. Here's what it looks like:

Code:
# cat netconfig
#pragma ident   "@(#)netconfig  1.16    99/10/25 SMI"
#
# The "Network Configuration" File.
#
# Each entry is of the form:
#
#       <network_id> <semantics> <flags> <protofamily> <protoname> \
#               <device> <nametoaddr_libs>
#
# The "-" in <nametoaddr_libs> for inet family transports indicates
# redirection to the name service switch policies for "hosts" and
# "services". The "-" may be replaced by nametoaddr libraries that
# comply with the SVr4 specs, in which case the name service switch
# will not be used for netdir_getbyname, netdir_getbyaddr,
# gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, getservbyname, and getservbyport.
# There are no nametoaddr_libs for the inet family in Solaris anymore.
#
udp6       tpi_clts      v     inet6   udp    /dev/udp6       -
tcp6       tpi_cots_ord  v     inet6   tcp    /dev/tcp6       -
udp        tpi_clts      v     inet    udp    /dev/udp        -
tcp        tpi_cots_ord  v     inet    tcp    /dev/tcp        -
rawip      tpi_raw       -     inet    -      /dev/rawip      -
ticlts     tpi_clts      v    loopback -      /dev/ticlts     straddr.so
ticotsord  tpi_cots_ord  v    loopback -      /dev/ticotsord  straddr.so
ticots     tpi_cots      v    loopback -      /dev/ticots     straddr.so

Thanks for helping.

What are the permissions on the file.

The file should be owned by root, group sys and have permissions 644

Permissions are exactly how you described.
