Sol10: All submirrors "Need Maintenance" after clean reboot
On all my Solaris 10 boxes, after a clean reboot, all submirrors "need maintenance". A metasync immediately clears the problem. Is this a bug or a feature?

Found this summary in sunmanagers:

Basically, for the volume manager to work right, I have to enable rpcbind.
Is rpcbind still full of huge security holes?
No luck getting rpc.metad to run standalone.
I suppose I need to install tcpwrappers.

Another workaround, from
http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:QoKwy4SOZL0J:www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/ summaries/2006-February/007079.html+%22Solaris+10%22+%22Needs+maintenance%22& ;hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1
Although none of my systems have mdmonitord registered as a service:
# svcadm enable mdmonitord
svcadm: Pattern 'mdmonitord' doesn't match any instances
DISABLING rpc/meta is what allows /usr/sbin/mdmonitord to startup correctly, WITHOUT rpc.metad, and this makes the submirrors come up in sync.
