Solaris Management Console in whole root zones

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.

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.
# zoneadm list -vc
ID NAME             STATUS         PATH
   0 global           running        /

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.

Problem with solaris management console

I have installing solaris 9 x86 12/02 on my PC. After start solaris management console 2.1 and after loged in as root, smc display this message:
System Information is not able to connect to the server because the WBEM server daemon does not appear to be running. If it is running, try stopping and restarting it. After restarting the daemon, please also exit and restart the Solaris Management Console.
SMC server is running ok.

Hello Senthilkumar,
Here are the outputs from the commands. The other ones that I left out (/var/adm/messages and showrev -p) had a lot of output and I wasn't sure what you needed. Please let me know what to post or if you want me to post the whole things.

Unable to create a whole root zone

Hi Folks,
I wanted to create a whole-root zone. I am unable to create one :(. Did some one encounter this problem ?.
BTW: I have SC 3.2 installed on this two node cluster. I was able to validate our Data services on this setup without any problem Now I am trying to experiment with zones, by creating zones. I am unable to move further with my validation of our data services on zones.

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

Thanks in advance

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.

Solaris Management Console question

Just wondering. I have tried to use the Solaris Management console several times. I have a solaris 10 box setup with a fress full install and when I launch the console the window comes up:
======================================
Configuring the management Server
Starting the server for the first time may take a few minutes.
Please allow configuration to continue until you see
"Welcome to the Solaris Management Console".
======================================
It never goes past that. I have tried it on a couple of different installs and I do not think it has ever worked for me. I must be missing something simple. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong?

running "/etc/init.d/init.wbem start" did the trick. I had suspected that a service might need to be started.
It works well on the global zone, but I am having trouble with it on my local zone. I suspect it is something I have done with that zone because I have been testing on it. I am going to spawn a new local zone and test it on that.

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

I have installed Solaris 9.0 and I am using Solaris Management Console 2.1. I am trying to change the shell of the 'root' user . When I make the change I get the following error message :
"The management server cannot perform the operation requested
if this problem persists, refer to the log Viewer for additional information and contact your Sun Microsystem support provider.
The actual error reported was:
User root was partially modified. See the error log for further details "
I have seen that the changes requeted( change shell in this case) does actually take place although the SMC complains. Where is the error log and how do I see it ? I fail to understand why this happens. Any help will be appreciated.
I have also noticed that when I make any changed to other users SMC does not complain.
Thanks
