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
TC

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 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.

  • 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.

  • Solaris Management Console (SMC) - Solaris 9 x86

    I�ve just installed Solaris 9 (x86) version. I�m unable to install Solaris Management console.
    I was using below command to add listed patches:
    pkgadd -d . SUNWpmgr SUNWrmui SUNWlvmr SUNWlvma SUNWlvmg
    I�m unable to find these packages on cd1. Somehow they�re on cd2. These cd�s are direct extract from Sun�s web site.
    Anyway when I run the pkgadd command I�m getting the following error:
    �No package associated with (SUNWpmgr)�
    When I look into the SUNWpmgr, there are 2 files (pkgmap., pkginfo.) and 3 dir (install, archive, reloc)
    Same with other packages
    Please help me.

    I was able to correct this problem on my server
    The .server file is the smc java keystore that contains
    the private/public key pair for SSL
    You can create this file by executing
    cd /usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin
    certtool -genkey
    Once the keys are generated execute
    /etc/init.d/init.wbem stop
    /etc/init.d/init.wbem start

  • Solaris Management Console reports disk errors

    Hello,
    Solaris Management Console is reporting my disk as having a non-Solaris partition, negative space remaining, and overlapping partitions.
    All this after a trouble free install of Solaris 10 on a checked IBM and a Fujitsu hdd. (AMD +2600 chip, ASUS A7V8X mb)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank You,
    RT

    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.

  • 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
    # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.6.0_01-b06 mixed mode, sharing)
    # 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+.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Installing Solaris Management Console

    I'm trying to get Solaris Management Console working on my Solaris 9 host. I've installed all the SMC packages:
    SUNWmc
    SUNWmcc
    SUNWmccom
    SUNWmcdev
    SUNWmcex
    SUNWwbmc
    Unfortunately, I found out that Solaris Management Console also requires a SUNWCprog cluster install (Developer install) and this host was built last year with the SUNWCuser (End user) install.
    Does anybody know what additional pkgs I need to install to get Solaris Management Console to work? I don't have the option of rebuilding the machine and I don't want to install every single pkg in the developer install. It's a waste of space.

    I've resolved this issue. On Solaris 9 x86, the default Java installation resides in /usr/j2se. The JavaHelp packages required by SMC install their files to this directory. The Java 5.0 SE installation instructions advise you to redirect the /usr/j2se link to /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0 if you want Java 5.0 to be your default Java installation. If you do this, you will lose the JavaHelp files and SMC will break.
    I resolved this issue by:
    1) removing the JavaHelp packages (SUNWjhdem, SUNWjhdev, SUNWjhdoc, SUNWjhrt)
    2) deleting the /usr/j2se directory
    3) linking /usr/j2se to /usr/jdk/jdk1.50
    4) reinstalling the JavaHelp packages (available on disc 2 of the installation set)
    SMC now starts and runs normally. It uses the new Ocean laf which I think is much more attractive than Metal. Good work, Sun!

  • Solaris Managment console in Java desktop release 3

    Hi Experts,
    I have recently installed Solaris 10/8 on a x86 based system.When I try to login to the server through CDE it gives a message "CDE has been deprecated and will be removed in future release of Solaris. Please move to the Java Desktop System (aka JDS)"
    If I login using JDS I am unable to see Solaris Managment console. Is there any new console that is been used in the JDS or we have to do the managment manually?
    Revert back if you have any questions.
    Regards,
    Sunil.

    How I've always done it is open up a shell and just type SMC that always seems to work for me, even in the days when I was using cde I would do the same.
    I guess, that for me, an X session was just a way to have a lot of terminal windows open, but that's just me :)
