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.

  • Solaris Management Console and X86 Disk

    Greetings,
    I am trying to use the Solaris Management Console to manage the 2 disks I have in my Intel PC. Both disk are allocated 100% to Solaris 10 and were formatted and partitioned by the installation program.
    Why is it that when I use the Management Console it tells me that there is no Solaris FDISK partition and that I cannot manage the disk until I put a Solaris FDISK partition on them? It doesn't seem like the tool is all that useful if it cannot use the default format put on the disk by the install program.
    On related note, why is it that auto layout during install creates partitions that are barely large enough to hold the OS? From what I can see it puts the bulk of the disk space into home for user home directories but this creates a problem when trying to install additional SW such as StarOffice.
    Cheers

  • Solaris Management Console and Split Backplane

    I have installed a split backplane with single-loop configuration on a V890 server. I have setup the FC using the installation documentation. I have 12 disks attached and they are showing up 0-11 when I use the format command.
    When I try to use the SMC, I get the following error;
    'Attempt to get a list of all disks failed with unexpected error: null'
    I cannot see the disks using 'Disks' or 'Expansion Storage' under the console.
    I know there is a patch for the SMC 2.1, but in the patch description, there is no mention of this as being one of the fixes.
    Until I get SMC to see the disks I cannot raid them.
    Any and all assistance on this is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You may not get an answer here, as this forum is for "Sun Management Center": a different product. Curse Sun for recycling acronyms! :)
    Still, if you have a v890 you should really be running Sun Management Center as well, at least to get all the good hardware monitoring bits out of it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Jds-help and Solaris Management Console compatible with jdk6u1?

    Hello,
    I am running Sol 10 11/06 for sparc on a Sun Blade. I just upgraded to jdk6u1 from jdk5. I installed all required j6 packages, and then installed patches for j6u1. I then used pkgrm to remove all jdk5-related packages (I searched for all packages starting with SUNWj5 and then removed them). Java seems to be working fine.
    Now, my Desktop Overview and other java-related help functions do not work. I get this error:
    # jds-help ghelp:jdsoverview
    ** (jdshelp:826): WARNING **: An exception occured 'Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0''
    A large jre error log is produced that mentions a problem with JVM:
    # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
    # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xfc94dd6c, pid=1338, tid=1

    # Problematic frame:
    # V [libjvm.so+0x14dd6c]
    Solaris Management Console does not work either, and gives an error that no suitable java 2 version is installed in /usr/java.
    Maybe I removed a j5 package I shouldn't have. Which j5 packages are related to the operation of jds-help? Any ideas as to what is causing my problem with jds-help and smc?
    Does anyone know FOR SURE that jdshelp and smc are compatible with jdk6u1?
    Thank you...

    I got rid of jdk6 and re-installed 1.5.0.11. Solaris Management Console 2.1 works again, so it appears as if smc and Sun Studio 11 are both INCOMPATIBLE with jdk/jre6.
    jds-help still does not work, with a jvm error, so perhaps it is also incompatible with jdk/jre 1.5.0.10+.

  • 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).

    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.

  • Can not login into Solaris Management Console

    I have a stand alone Solaris 9 system, I am able to log in as root, when I try to run Solaris Management Console 2.1 to create/delete/modify users it prompts for the root password. I enter the root password and it doesn't take and prompts again to enter the root password. Current encryption is MD5, current password is 14 characters long, changed to 8 characters still same issue. Not sure exactly where to look or what I should be looking for, other information I have gathered if it helps:
    /etc/user_attr
    root::::profiles=All;auths=solaris.*,solaris.grant;type=normal

    Seems your root password is not working.
    Boot the system with CD to single user from PROM (ok).
    From OK prom issue boot cdrom -s, the system will boot to single user mode.
    Mount your root device, it will be something like /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0, mount it to some mount point like /mnt or /a. (mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt)
    cd /mnt/etc
    vi shadow
    remove the encrypted password for user root and save the file.
    cd /
    umount /mnt or /a where root partition is mounted.
    reboot the system and re-set your root password using passwd command.

  • Solaris 10u6 fresh install - can't get Solaris Management Console working

    Hey guys,
    I have been searching all over but can't seem to find any help on getting SMC working. I have a fresh install of Solaris 10u6 on a Sun Fire V20z.
    So I login via ssh to the solaris machine ("unknown"), and It looks like wbem is online:
    root@unknown:/# svcs wbem
    STATE          STIME    FMRI
    online         16:37:50 svc:/application/management/wbem:default
    root@unknown:/# And netstat shows that my machine is listening on port 898
    root@unknown:/# netstat -an|grep 898
    127.0.0.1.898              *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN
    root@unknown:/# The problem is
    1)
    When I try to do anything in the smc launched with as
    smt -toption for terminal mode, I always end up getting the message:
    There is no Solaris Management Console Server running on localhost.2)
    If I login from my laptop with X11 forwarding on, and launch the graphical interface, it does come up with the main window that says "Solaris Management Console 2.1" and the "Open Toolbox" window. However, in the Open Toolbox window it says "Server Not Running"
    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, since svcs says that wbem is running... I'm pretty new to Solaris, working hard to get up to speed, so I'd really appreciate any help you guys could offer.
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    For some reason it was able to run once by running the command
    # /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
    But no matter what I do, I can't get it to work one lick with
    # svcadm enable wbem
    Any ideas guys?

  • Solaris Management Console no longer accepts logins after running JASS...

    I have an unusual problem... I have a Solaris 10 system (with the 2/16/2005 patches on it. I am able to use the Solaris Management Console (v2.1) with no issues to make my disk storage adjustments, etc etc.
    The problem is when I run JASS with the secure.driver setup. After that, the Management console no longer accepts the root password to authenticate. So, I know that JASS tightened something up, but I can't figure out what it did. Worse, when I undo the JASS run, it doesn't undo whatever it did to the security of the Management Console.
    Any idea where the Solaris Management Console gets it's security information (and configuration) from? And how I can undo whatever JASS did to it?
    Again, I've reinstalled this test box 3 times, and I know it's the JASS step that's locking me out, and not the recommended & security patches.
    Thanks to all!
    -- M

    As a followup - right after posting this message, I opened a support case for this, and the solution is that you need to go into /etc/security/policy.conf and backup JASS's change to the default encryption model.
    Change CRYPT_DEFAULT=1 back to CRYPT_DEFAULT=__unix__
    Then, you have to clear the password using "passwd -d", and then reset it again to what you want. Then, the management console will work.
    I guess the management console is set to always use the __unix__ method, and not look at the policy.conf's setting. So when JASS wanders from the default, it breaks SMC.

  • Solaris Management Console Error

  • Solaris Management Console hanging

    Did anyone have a similar problem?
    We are running Solaris Management Console 2.1 on Solaris 10 update 3
    It was working fine until recently.
    Now, it hangs forever.
    We have no problem in launching it, loging to using our normal account, and switching to sysadmin role.
    However, it hangs forever every time we try to do some action with the following error message showing on the terminal screen:
    Exception in thread "Thread-21" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/admin/cis/common/ShowCommands

            at com.sun.admin.cis.common.ListFetch.run(ListFetch.java:284)I am not an expert in Java, but the above message seems to indicate a Sun JRE classpath problem. The symptom in the X-Windows session is always the same: hangs forever when trying to browse users to perform necessary operations, such as adding, deleting, changing groups, and so on.

    I have received the following reply from Sun tech support:
    Hello again Shen,
    After I got your email I went back through your files and did an internal search on the breaking of classpath and java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error.  I found a case that had similar error messages and the root cause was determined to be the order of the patch installation.
    Here is a clip from that case;
    ===
    The patch install order for 121308-12 and 119313-19 can have a negative affect on SMC.
    Please have the customer try the following workaround:
    patchrm 121308-12 and 119313-19
    In this order, patchadd 119313-19 and then patchadd 121308-12

    Your netinfo files show that you are only up to 119313-16 on your wbem patch. The latest patch is;
    119313-19
    SunOS 5.10: WBEM Patch
    Date:  Mar/27/2008
    You may find that updating to this patch will make the edit to the /usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin/smc file unnecessary.
    Since your original problems have been resolved, I will go ahead and close the case.  You may want to consider updating to the latest WBEM patch on your next update cycle.
    Thanks,
    Dave
    I guess patch 119313-19 solves the problem.
    I have launched SMC on a few servers that I haven't changed /usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin/smc file.
    SMC didn't hang.
    So, I checked for patch level and they all have patch 119313-19 installed.
