Symptoms
The following error appears on boot up

Sep 9 13:24:57 flext6 devfsadmd[59]: [ID 742014 daemon.error] RCM
notification failed: error_code: 14

RCM stands for Reconfiguration Coordination Manager

Resolution

The error occurs because of RCM accessing /var/run before the /var/run
is mounted or while the /var/run is being mounted in response to certain
events. The interaction of RCM with /var/run could possibly cause mounting
of /var/run to fail during booting.
This problem exists in Solaris[TM] 8 and is fixed in Solaris[TM] 9.
This error can be ignored if it occurs during booting and /var/run is
currently mounted as tmpfs filesystem, which is usually the case.
The output of the command "mount | grep /var" should show something
like the following:
/var/run on swap read/write/setuid/xattr/dev=1 on Wed Jan 29 09:57:59 2003
In every case so far, /var/run actually mounts so the the error can be
ignored. The /var/run directory is used on boot to start daemons. If the
/var/run directory did not mount, the machine would not boot.
If the customer does not want to see the error message or if mounting of
/var/run fails during booting, install the Solaris[TM} 8 KU patch 108528-11
for sparc systems and 108529-11 for x86 systems. In a few cases the error
could still occur after installing the patch.

Comment: The document is unclear on the fact that in some situation the warning
can be ignored. Can you provide more explanation (so we don't have to look at the bugs)?

Otherwise, it is fine.
