Sun Ray / DHCP problems on Solaris 10

Question

All,
I have a Sun v240 running Solaris 10 (03/05) with patches current as of late December 2005. I cannot configure DHCP using the "utadm -a bge1" command as I get the following message:
### Warning: DHCP Service is in the maintenance mode
There could be a problem with the DHCP configuration
### It is strongly recommended to fix the problem and then use:
### "/usr/sbin/svcadm clear svc:/network/dhcp-server:default"
### to get DHCP service out of the maintenance mode before running utadm
Do you want to Continue? (Y/[N]):
I type "n" and than from the command line enter:
svcadm clear svc:/network/dhcp-server:default
But when I run the command "svcs -v" I see the following:
maintenance - 13:48:47 - svc:/network/dhcp-server:default
The output from "svcs -x" is the following:
# svcs -x
svc:/application/print/server:default (LP print server)
State: disabled since Sun Jan 22 13:45:48 2006
Reason: Disabled by an administrator.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05
See: lpsched(1M)
Impact: 2 dependent services are not running. (Use -v for list.)
svc:/network/dhcp-server:default (DHCP server)
State: maintenance since Sun Jan 22 16:46:52 2006
Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last exited with status 1.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS
See: in.dhcpd(1M)
See: /var/svc/log/network-dhcp-server:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.
In the log mentioned I get the following repeating error:
[ Jan 22 13:46:21 Executing start method ("/usr/lib/inet/in.dhcpd") ]
Datastore status error: Location does not exist
[ Jan 22 13:46:21 Method "start" exited with status 1 ]
[ Jan 22 13:48:47 Leaving maintenance because clear requested. ]
[ Jan 22 13:48:47 Enabled. ]
I cannot get dhcp out of maintenance. I don't know what this "Datastore" status error means. Any ideas?

DHCP server has two or three different data store types, normally its a plain text files or binary data files. Its store info of clients connected and some other stuff. Maybe files path is incorrect, just try to unconfig the dhcp server. I dont know the exact comand, but im using grafical tool on my opensolaris box, its under /usr/sadm/admin/bin/ directory, dhcpmgr.
