SMC - Solaris Management Console in whole root zone

Hi,
Is it possible to run smc in whole root zone? Is there a howto for this?
I have created a whole root zone in my x86 and sparc systems but I can't seem to manage the zones through smc (Adding users, share disks and etc).
I was able to manage my sparse zones with smc but for some reason smc won't even start in whole root zone. The whole root zone does not seem to have smcserver and bunch of other directories relating to smc.
Thanks...

  • SMC (Solaris Management Console)

    On a fresh install of Sparc Solaris 9 - the SMC app works. Upon patching to yesterday's 9_Recommended - it fails - the applets all have red stop signs in the console, and it says someting like - 'There is no server running...' and 'No Solaris Management Console server was available on the specified server.'
    This is in the console:

    Instead of using SMC - why not use the format command - this utility has traditionally allowed the sysadmin to perform disk related tasks. If you plan to be "playing around" with disks on a solaris system - smc is not the tool. If you had intended to use ZFS - you're stuck with the command line (really sucks if you're dependent on GUIs). Either use the free SVM command line or get a copy of Veritas Foundation Basic Suite "free" (but crippled - limited to 4 volumes and 4 filesystems) - http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/sfbasic/index.jsp. At least with Veritas - the GUI will step you thru the entire process of disk management. I can't say that for SVM, with a bit of persistence and skill - you might not be disappointed. I prefer the command line because you can specify a myriad of parameters that the GUIs can't initutively tell you.

  • Updated Java "broke" SMC (Solaris Mgmt Console)

    Hello,
    I have a SunFire 280R running Solaris 8.
    The application running on the system will be upgraded soon, and required that I update Java.
    I believe I've missed some steps, as the SMC (Solaris Management Console) will not run now.
    I've read the SMC FAQ, but may have missed something. Any help would be appreciated.
    Before doing anything:
    # java -version
    java version "1.4.1_03"
    # cd /usr
    # ls -la java
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 6 Mar 14 2003 java -> ./j2se
    I installed a recent version of Sun Java from a CD-R which I had burned:
    # cd /usr
    # /cdrom/java_1_5_0_04/jre_1_5_.sh
    agree?
    Unpacking...
    Checksumming...
    extracting...
    inflating...
    Creating
    Done.
    # /cdrom/java_1_5_0_04/jre_1_52.sh
    agree?
    Unpacking...
    Checksumming...
    Done.
    After the installation was complete, I replaced the link:
    # cd /usr
    # rm java
    # ln -s /usr/jre1.5.0_04 java
    # ls -la java
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16 Oct 11 09:11 java -> /usr/jre1.5.0_04
    # java -version
    java version "1.5.0_04"
    When I attempt to launch SMC from the CDE menu bar, it tries, then fails, without a message.
    When I open a terminal and type "smc", it tries, and then I get a message that there is no valid version of Java in the places that it expects it, just as the FAQ mentions, and to either fix and try again, it set $JAVA_HOME.
    This is right about where my knowledge of Solaris 8 abruptly ends. If I can type "java -version" in a terminal window and get the reply "java version "1.5.0_04"" then why can't SMC find it?
    I am stumped. Someone tried to help by telling me to edit the .bashrc file, and add $JAVA_HOME, but I can't find that file on this system anywhere.
    I was able to get the SMC to launch once, after trying to set $JAVA_HOME, but it apparently only worked for that terminal window. After the SMC was closed, and the terminal window closed, and someone tried to launch it from a new terminal window, it didn't work again.
    I'm stumped. How can I get SMC to play nice with the newer Java? I know enough to know that this is probably very basic, and I am just forgetting something obvious.
    thanks very much for your help!

  • No Solaris Management Console was available on the specific server

    Hi all,
    We had just finish setting up a new Solaris 10 environment. When i launch smc on the server, on selecting toolbox there's an error message:
    No Solaris Management Console server was available on the specified server. Please ensure there is a Solaris Management Console server available on the specified host and that it is running.
    However, upon verifying whether smc is running:
    ./init.wbem status
    Solaris Management Console server version 2.1.0 running on port 898.
    Not sure why this error message appeared, thanks.

  • Whole root zone doesn't run Solaris Management Console

    All
    I created a couple of Whole Root zone's, but the SMC is not working. It can't even be found. (However, on the "sparse" zones, it works fine.)
    I ran:
    pkginfo SUNWsmcmd
    and got:
    system SUNWsmcmd System Management Agent applications and utilities
    So, it seems like it's installed, but it ain't working on any of the whole-root zones.
    Anyone have any ideas on this one?
    Thank you
    SB

    I think I have the same problem -
    One global zone and one whole-root zone installed.
    I access the server withhttps://servername:6789/containersthen I can see Solaris Container Manager 3.6.1but when I select it, I get
    There was an error while connecting to the Solaris Container Manager service. Restart the services and login again.
    Restart Sun Management Center services and log in again.I restarted meanwhile every service, but I did not a server reboot.

  • SMC doesn't work in any solaris 10 whole-root zones

    All
    Are you aware of SUN not designing whole-root zones to work with Solaris Management Console?
    None of my solaris 10 whole-root zones/containers will run Solaris Management Console. Very, very frustrating!
    Anyone have a trick to get around this crazy design??
    Thank you!
    SB

    Thanks for your help!
    Yes, i see all font types.
    But maybe i havn't explained my problem good enough:
    I have a FLA-File which works great in Flash CS3: everything – even on different computers – is okay!
    The same FLA-File on the same computer in Flash CS6: the font-rendering is broken!
    In CS6 there seems to be a difference between textfields made via ActionScript and textfields on the stage: see the attached file in my first post.

  • Solaris Management Console and root pasword

    I upgraded to Solaris 10 last night and tried to perform some admin work to user accounts, using Solaris Management Console. When performing the task, Solaris wants to verify user and password, the root password fails. The root pasword is correct because it let me login as root. Solaris Management Console rejects all passwords for verification. Help me please.

    Thanks for your help. I updated my root password from 4 charcters to 4charcters + 4 numerals , still SMC will not let me in. I updated 2 machines and both allow me to login as root (GUI) but SMC wants to confirm the password and will not let me in.
    I have reinstalled (initialized rather than upgrade) Solaris 10 on one machine (Ultra60) , that machine now works fine. It allows me to login as root(GUI) ans the SMC accepts my root password
    The machines are an Ultra10 and an Ultra60.
    I choose to upgrade rather than a new install because of to much info to rebuild.

  • Root password fails on auth to Solaris Management Console Server

    I've setup Solaris 10 x86 on a VA linux 1220 server, all is good so far except when I try to create additional users. I am logged in as root, and the root password logs in to the CDE, but fails on authentication to Solaris Management Console Server when I try to use any of the management apps like computers and networks or Users. So I'm stalled at the point where I should be configuring the system. I have been very careful about typing in the password exactly as I use it in the login screen, but it never works in the System Management tools for This Computer. The password I'm using is 26 characters long, is it too long? Or is there a step I'm missing?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    One of my famous guesses, but unless you changed the default password algorithm the maximum length of your password is 8 characters, when logging in on the console or desktop, anything typed after those eight characters will be ignored (unless this behaviour changed very recently).
    Its possibly that SMC, and its server component WBEM does not ignore the extra characters, which could cause this behavior.
    What happens if you try and login to SMC with the root user and only the first eight characters of your password?
    Btw, if this was the problem i think there is a way to change the default crypto algorithm to something that supports more characters.

  • Enhanced Storage Problem in Solaris Management Console Started in XManager

    I have Sun Fire 480 with solaris 5.9 installed on it. I use XManager 1.3.9 on windows 2000 workstation to connect to it and launch Solaris Management Console (smc). After starting smc I point to Management Tools -> This Computer (sf480dbs) -> Storage -> Enhanced Storage. At that moment Log In dialog appears and I give root user name and password. After a few seconds SMC disappears (exits). If I look at CDE Error log there is the following exception

    Try search the WEB for your display adapter drivers. However, most of new especially intergated graphics are still not supported.
    You may try to get it working with xsun, run kdmconfig and specify as display adapter VGA or Super VGA. I know that in some cases it helps.
    As well do the same with Xorg and run /usr/X11/bin/xorgcfg, try to find somekind of generic VGA in drivers that are listed there.
    As I know, smc runs only in graphical mode.
    I saved the settings and pressed F2 for testing. I could see the displayDid you see buttons on that display (something like "yes", "no")?
    xsun is very hard to set with most of display adapters and monitors, sometimes it shows only part of the screen, so you might not to see these buttons. However if you see them, press "yes" (or something like that, I dont exactly remember). Then reboot and your computer should start the GUI.
