All services stuck in maintenance mode

I've got a problem on Solaris 10. All of the enabled inet services are in maintenance mode. rlogin, ftp, telnet, stlisten, xfs, etc, etc - are all in maintenance mode. The inetadm command shows no online services, only disabled and maintenance. I've tried clearing them with svcadm but they won't clear. It won't show any explanation for why.
What could be wrong to cause this?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Randy

Thanks very much for the very helpful suggestions. svcs -xv does not show anything helpful - for the Reason, simply "Restarter gave no explanation". The svc:/network/inetd:default is indeed enabled and healthy.
/var/adm/messages, however, has information that might point to the problem. Regrettably, I don't understand the message and am hoping someone here can enlighten me. For each of the services that is in maintenance mode, these messages appear:
Nov 3 17:59:44 trsun006 inetd[322]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Property exec for method inetd_start of instance svc:/network/login:rlogin is invalid
Nov 3 17:59:44 trsun006 inetd[322]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Invalid configuration for instance svc:/network/login:rlogin, placing in maintenance
I don't understand what it means by "Property exec for method inetd_start ... is invalid".
I issued these commands-
[trsun006 27] sbin > inetadm -l rlogin | grep exec
exec="/usr/sbin/in.rlogind"
[trsun006 28] sbin > ls -l /usr/sbin/in.rlogind
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 36372 Jan 22 2005 /usr/sbin/in.rlogind*
How can I debug this problem?

Solaris10 stuck in maintenance mode

Hi
I was trying to mount a disk in by adding a line to the /etc/vfstab file but the disk did not exist.
When I rebooted, it went directly into maintenance mode and now when I try to roll back the change I can see an error saying the the file system is read only.
This is the output in teh console when I reboot:
The / file system (/dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/rootvol) is being checked.

manually (fsck -F ufs /dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/rootvol).

It appears that Solaris could not check your root filesystem.
Try running fsck on it yourself, with a command line like
"fsck -F ufs /dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/rootvol".

Exchange 2013 server stuck in maintenance mode.

Hello,
I have a single server setup for Exchange 2013 and recently had an issue with Maintenance mode during updates. I was in the process of getting the server upgraded to SP1 when it happened. I had tried to run the service pack when it returned an error
saying something was pending and it couldn't install. Because the server had several windows updates and 1 Exchange 2013 security update downloaded from wsus, I thought it was obviously this. So I cancelled out of the sp1 install and ran the updates.
Once the updates were finished and the server rebooted, mail wouldn't flow. Found out it was because it was in Maintenance mode.
I'm not sure if it was the SP1 install or the security update that placed the server in this mode, but it seemed like it was the security update(KB2880833.) From what I've found on the interwebs, Maintenance mode is meant for High Availability setups, which
mine is not and it has to be put into that mode mannually. I never put the server into this mode. Is this done automatically by running updates or Service packs? and if so, how can I turn prevent it from happening automatically? Is it necessary? I have
no reason to use it, as we only have one server. I've found plenty of info on how to turn it on or off, but nothing about any automatic settings.
THanks for any guidance.

Hi,
When a CU or SP is installed, the server is automatically put in maintenance and I don't think there is a way to stop that. It is written to the
ExchangeSetup.log and will look like this:
Set-ServerComponentState $Target -Component Monitoring -Requester Functional -State Inactive
Set-ServerComponentState $Target -Component RecoveryActionsEnabled -Requester Functional -State Inactive
Set-ServerComponentState $Target -Component ServerWideOffline -Requester Functional -State InActive
If the CU or SP runs successfully, it will be taken out of maintenance mode automatically with the below commands but if a failure occurs, it can be done manually with:
Set-ServerComponentState SERVERNAME -Component Monitoring -Requester Functional -State Active
Set-ServerComponentState SERVERNAME -Component RecoveryActionsEnabled -Requester Functional -State Active
Set-ServerComponentState SERVERNAME -Component ServerWideOffline -Requester Functional -State Active

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer is stuck in maintenance mode

I have had my 8500A for over 6 months without incident, but tonight it suffered its first paper jam -- and though I removed all visible paper, the error message said I still needed to open the access and clear the jam. I thought a reboot might help so I turned off the power and after a few seconds turned it back on. I got a message saying the printer was checking itself and that this might take a few minutes. I let it run for literally 2 hours with this same message showing before pressing the red X on the control panel to try and exit this mode. Now I have an error mesage saying "maintenance cannot be interrupted" and the printer remains frozen. Any ideas on how I can get it to operate again?

I am sorry that no one saw this to respond sooner, but I am going to see if there is anything I can do to help.
First, we are going to try to do a specific type of reset. What I want you to do is open the printer and remove the ink cartridges as well as the print head from the machine. The print head should have a lever on the right-hand side that will lift up to release it.
Once these are all removed from the machine, unplug the printer from both the back of the unit and the wall outlet for thirty seconds. Then plug the machine back in and wait for the error message for a missing/damaged printhead. Now replace the pinthead in the machine and close the top. When the machine indicates that the ink cartridges are likewise missing/damaged, replace those too in the machine.
Here, if you all goes well, the machine should re-enter its diagnostics and initialization.
Additionally, here is a little information on resets: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Printer-Resets-What-You-Should-Know/m-p/234739...
Let me know how this goes!

This happened a few days ago and we are pretty sure nobody was using the file as this is a production application server... and then it happened again several days later...
We have to kill the process and restart the service to get things going again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is not a viable way of doing things for us.
Thanks
Gabriel

and we are pretty sure nobody was using the file as this is a production application server...
Hello Gabriel,
Is there maybe an anti-virus software running on the server, which accesses the file at the same time? If so, you may exclude the log file in the AV software.

Cron service in maintenance mode

Hi Experts,
I need an advice how to bring cron service online. It's in maintenance mode all the time and when I try to enable it, I'm keep getting below errors in log file, and service stays in maintenance mode:
[ Apr 22 07:58:48 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Apr 22 07:58:48 Executing stop method (:kill) ]
[ Apr 22 07:58:48 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-cron") ]
[ Apr 22 07:58:48 Method "start" exited with status 0 ]
cron could not unlink FIFO: No such file or directory

[ Apr 22 07:58:48 Executing stop method (:kill) ]
[ Apr 22 07:58:48 Restarting too quickly, changing state to maintenance ]
I was searching for that errors and I found that this may be caused by missing FIFO file in /etc/cron.d directory but when I tried to make it by mknod i get this error:
/usr/sbin/mknod /var/adm/cron/FIFO p
mknod: No such device
I'm not even sure if this is correct direction of root cause but I'm stuck at this point and need your help. If anybody experienced such issue, please advice.

Hi,

after you correct them, issue 'svcadm -v clear cron'

Getting 34208 Events in IIS server after come out from Maintenance mode

Hi Experts,
We are monitoring .Net application(APM) in our environment(SCOM 2012 SP1). We are putting all the servers in Maintenance mode on every sunday(Weekly Maintenance), after come out from MMode getting 34208 events in OPSMGR Logs, particularly from
IIS servers(APM).
Do we have any fix for that like cumulative update?
Can we put IIS server into Maintenance mode? If we put in MMode, Will it affect monitoring??
Expecting your reply.. Thanks in advance!!!
Regards
Karthick

Thanks for reply Agrawal!
I know that we won't get alerts if the servers are in Maintenance mode. But we are getting 34208 events particularly from IIS servers(.Net Application Performance Monitoring - APM) as the result we are receiving warning alerts in SCOM console stating
that " Restart IIS service" which will affect other monitoring in the servers.
Is anyone getting this issue in your environment? Generally we will get 34208 events while we adding new application in to IIS server. But here we are getting this events after the server come out from MMode.
Kindly provide your valuable suggestions. Thanks!
Regards
Karthick

Dynamic Group containing maintenance mode devices

Hi,
I am using a scheduled script to put a large number of items in maintenance mode for periods of time where we do not which to receive alerts or cause DA state changes. For these objects, the time is overnight or weekends.
The script adds all objects in a dynamic group into maintenance mode. This includes both windows and network devices.
My issue is that when an engineer manually puts an item into maintenance mode for genuine maintenance purposes, it may be overridden.
So my idea is to have another dynamic group containing all objects in maintenance mode, and make it an exclusion in the original group. Is this possible or is there a better way?
FYI The script I am using for the bulk maintenance mode is based from here:
http://www.systemcentercentral.com/opsmgr-2012-group-maintenance-mode-via-powershell-the-way-it-should-be/

Hi,
We can use below command to get all members in a group:
$Groups = Get-MonitoringObjectGroup
$Group = $Groups | where {$_.DisplayName -eq "Group Name"}
$Members = $Group.GetRelatedMonitoringObjects()
And with below command we could get all members that in maintenance mode:
$Members | where{$_.inmaintenancemode -eq $true}
With set-SCOMMaintenanceMode command we can update active maintenance mode entries.

Found all the Servers that were restart without the maintenance mode were actived ?

Hi all
I was wondering if I can find a query about this request:
- Found all the Servers that were restart without the maintenance mode were actived ?
It's to make a Report To include in Reporting Services.
sorry for my English :)
Thank you very much and have a good day

Hi, first if the maintenance mode is activated no events are collected, then, as example, in default rules you can see the following
Collection Rule for Windows Restarted Events that collects eventid=6005
with eventsourcename=eventlog from System
log which is enabled by default.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Windows+Operating+System&ProdVer=5.2&EvtID=6005&EvtSrc=EventLog&LCID=1033
So you can check Data warehouse DB for presence such event
select ComputerName, DateTime from Event.vEvent ev
inner join Event.vEventDetail evd on ev.eventoriginid = evd.eventoriginid
inner join Event.vEventParameter evp on ev.eventoriginid = evp.eventoriginid
inner join vEventLoggingComputer elc on elc.eventloggingcomputerrowid = ev.loggingcomputerrowid
where eventdisplaynumber = '6005' Order by ComputerName, Datetime
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2007/10/18/useful-operations-manager-2007-sql-queries.aspx
So if you see this event it means the server was restarted and the maintenance mode was not activated.
Also keep in mind that there can be other event ids when computer is restarted, as example see the rule
Collection Rule for Windows Restart Events (restarted from bugcheck)

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

My phone is stuck in recovery mode, am i able to restore without loosing all contacts? p.s i dont have my original computer

my phone is stuck in recovery mode, am i able to restore without loosing all contacts? p.s i dont have my original computer

Thanks, I figured that out, so I went ahead and restored it, which also didn't work! It gave me an error 3194, which I also can't figure out.

iPod is stuck in recovery mode, and not recognized by iTunes.
Tried all of the recommended resets and combinations mentioned, but the ipod is still not recognized. Genius at apple said it may be a hardware error, "The button is broke" but all of the buttons and cords work and i proved it to him. He then said he doesnt know, ma Now what?

If it does not work on other computers then I agree with the Genius

Stuck in Recovery Mode - Tried All Troubleshooting Steps

My 16GB iTouch [latest firmware] is stuck in recovery mode... iTouch displays 'Connect to iTunes' and when I do this iTunes says, "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
So, like a good little puppet, I restore my iPod.
When the process completes a message pops up saying restoration successful and iPod restarting.
After clicking ok or letting message expire on its own I get bumped back to where I was in the first place. My iPod goes straight back into recovery mode, same message displayed on iPod and iTunes.
I have tried everything from reinstalling iTunes to different USB ports to different computers [PC & Mac], my battery is fully charged, and I am all out of ideas.
Any suggestions??

Hi dimpulse,
Try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
If the issue persists after trying the tips in the article above, the iPod may need hardware repair. Just request repair online, make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it, or call AppleCare.
