autofs in maintenance state

[merrittr]

I have all my services online except autofs which remains in
maintenance mode any ideas how to get it running. See svcs output
below

# svcs -xv autofs
svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default (automounter)
State: maintenance since Mon Sep 15 09:55:41 2008
Reason: Restarting too quickly.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-L5
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M automount
See: /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-autofs:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.
# svcs -l autofs
fmri svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default
name automounter
enabled true
state maintenance
next_state none
state_time Mon Sep 15 09:55:41 2008

Maybe a look into the log file will reveal the cause of the issue...

This could be due to RPC, also look for /var/adm/messages if you see following message
Oct 15 06:51:05 <host_name> automountd[2035]: [ID 668993 daemon.error] unable to create service
Oct 15 06:51:06 <host_name> automountd[2077]: [ID 956970 daemon.error]

#sudo svcadm restart svc:/network/rpc/bind:default

#sudo svcadm clear autofs

# sudo svcs -x
