Service is restarting too quickly

Hi guys,
one of my services in solaris 10 is in maintenance mode. When I checked why, the reason is that the service is "restarting too quickly."

# svcs -x svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default
svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default (Sun Solstice Enterprise Master Agent)
 State: maintenance since November  9, 2012 02:15:33 AM EST
Reason: Restarting too quickly.
   See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-L5
   See: snmpdx(1M)
   See: /var/svc/log/application-management-snmpdx:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.

I will really appreciate it, if someone can help me fix this problem.

Thanks guys
