As far as I can see, xfs is not running (from output of pt -a).  I see
the reason: its argv[0] is actually "fs" (do not know why).  (Deduced
by comparing the result of /bin/ps -eo'f uid pid ppid tty time args' |
grep " fs" with the result of /bin/ps -e | grep xfs).

Here is the part of the process tree with its argv:

root         1        ?    1:04   /etc/init -rs
root       200        ?    0:09     /usr/sbin/inetd -s
nobody   14162        ?    0:02       fs
nobody    3399        ?    0:04     fs
nobody    3808        ?    0:01     fs
nobody    5740        ?    0:01     fs
nobody    8411        ?    0:06     fs
nobody    9947        ?    0:01     fs
nobody   11558        ?    0:02     fs
nobody   12927        ?    0:01     fs
nobody   13601        ?    0:01     fs
nobody   13982        ?    0:02     fs
nobody   23850        ?    0:03     fs
nobody   25090        ?    0:16     fs
nobody   27840        ?    0:36     fs
nobody   27843        ?    0:08     fs
nobody   27847        ?    0:03     fs
nobody   27850        ?    0:05     fs
nobody   27857        ?    0:12     fs

What else can I do?

Same Solaris.  This is a very homogeneous network.
