" Yesterday I was working with my Solaris system, after reboot, I couldn't ssh into the system, the ssh command failed with the "Connection refused" error, after some research (by logging into the serial console of the server and rebooting the system again through the serial console), I found the below system error message.
svc:/system/filesystem/local:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/fs-local" failed with exit status 95
Then everything came to standstill till I figured out the solution.
Solution:
1. The possible reason for ssh "Connection Refused" may be due to the fact that some filesystem, whose entry is in /etc/vfstab would have failed to mount properly.
A typical vfstab entry looks like the below one.
$ cat /etc/vfstab
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
#
fd - /dev/fd fd - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0 / ufs 1 no logging
...
...
2. To find which entry was causing the problem, I checked the system log, the entries were as follows.
$ cat /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-local:default.log
"/var/svc/log/system-filesystem-local:default.log" 149 lines, 9256 characters

Looks like there was an entry /var/js/1/boot in /etc/vfstab which didn't mount because the filesystem was not present, hence the error.
3. After finding the root cause for the problem, I removed the line which mounted the /var/js/1/boot filesystem in /etc/vfstab and rebooted the system, now I could login through ssh.
Therefore when you get ssh "Connection refused" error, chances are that some filesystem whose entry is in /etc/vfstab would have failed to mount, in which case check the system log, remove the line causing the problem from /etc/vfstab and ssh should work fine. "
