[SUMMARY] Solaris 10 - metasync after every reboot

Thanks go to Helmut Kreft with his reply below.  It turned out I was 
getting a little too aggressive in disabling services to minimize my box. 
By checking the dependencies on the mdmonitor service I was able to trace 
back that the rpc/meta service relied on the inetd service which I 
previously disabled.  By enabling inetd again, then doing another init 6, 
all the mirrors now sync correctly and metastat shows everything as Okay.

Hello,

I'm testing out Solaris 10 03/05 on my E250 with 6 hard drives.  I used
SVM to setup some mirrors including the root partition like I've done
before on my Solaris 9 boxes.

However, it seems that every time I reboot this test box and I run
metastat, the submirrors always say "Needs maintenance".  I run "metasync
<mirror>" and it syncs back up rather quickly, but then I have to do it
again after the next init 6 when I test another option.

Is there something I forget to add to keep the mirrors in sync after a
reboot?  Does anyone else see this behavior?

Regards,
-Eric
