Solaris Management Console Server Problems

When I try to run Solaris Management Console, I get an error saying that the server is not running on port 898. I have followed the instructions on hte FAQ. I see no instances of smcboot running in the processes. When I run /etc/init.d/init.wbem start it returns to the prompt with no additional information. When I then run /etc/init.d/init.wbem status - it says the server is not running. Anyone have any ideas ... this is driving me nuts. I have gone so far as executing smcwbemserver by hand, and it returns "smcwbemserver [7]: /lib/functions: not found"
Does ANYONE have any ideas (faint sobbing sounds in the background...)

I've got the same problem on b63 aswell if I start wbem manually I get no error (infact I don't get anything) and the server just dies. Also had the same thing on a previous Solaris 10 beta and through trial and error found it to be /etc/resolv.conf misconfigured. Unfortunately I can't quite remember what I done to fix it , if I remember I'll post back.

  • 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.

    Patch 121308-16+ makes WBEM "secure by default."
    Customers running Solaris 10 6/06 or prior must modify the client's WBEM

  • 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:

    Not sure why this error message appeared, 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.'

    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
    if your smpatch no longer works

  • 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 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 :

  • Solaris Management Console toolbox could not be loaded

    Hello,
    when I start SMC I get this error, toolbox http://ultra:989/toolboxes/smc.tbx could not be loaded. I only noticed this yesterday, and I think it is related to some patch that was applied recently. When I did wget http://ultra:898/toolboxes/smc.tbx I got these headers

    and wget complains of

    perhaps it is this header that's invalidating the download and so SMC complains?
    This is solaris 9 on an ultra 5, fully patched (up to yesterday).
    Thanks for your help!

    I seem to have come across the same issue as well. On an Ultra 2, I'm running Solaris 10 1/06 (after an upgrade from Solaris 10 5/05). SMC 2.1 was working fine before I applied the latest Recommended Solaris 10 patch cluster. Now when starting smc, I get the message,
    "Server Not Running
    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."
    with stop signs for all the management tools. I do not have patch 121309 installed which I suspect applies to the 6/06 release. In comparison to a working system, neither workstation had the entry for "smc 898/tcp" in its /etc/services file. I added it but did not make a difference so I removed the entry.
    "/etc/init.d/init.wbem stop/start" did not do the trick. Using dananderson's advice in,
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5057915
    I ended up having to completely remove and re-add all packages that had to do with smc using the Solaris 1/06 installation CD set. I confirmed smc was working again without the error. Update Manager suggested I add patches 121308-08 and 124188-02. Hesitantly, I added those two patches, rebooted and confirmed smc produced the error message again. I removed patches 121308-08 and 124188-02 and smc started working again. I will have to refrain from applying those patches so it continues to run.
    I wish I had further explanation as to why those updates are killing my smc.

  • Solaris 10 Console Server won't start

    Pardon this slightly off-topic query, but I don't believe there is a more proper place for it.
    Been a while since I've upgraded anything, but I finally installed Solaris 10 on my Ultra 30 (a clean install, replacing Solaris 9). The installation went well, except that when I started up the SMC, it wouldn't connect to the console server. I have stopped and started the console server, but it will never show that it's running. The status is always "Solaris Management Console server not running on port 898". I have seen numerous other folks having the same difficulty, not no solutions so far. Any ideas? I'd hate to roll back to Solaris 9, but without a solution I can't even add any users to the system...at least using the GUI.

    I assume you haven't enabled RBAC and turned root into a role at this point.
    Take a look at the useradd man page for a command line level example of adding users.
    I just started using Sol10 x86 myself. I haven't tried installing SMC just yet but I'm pretty sure the wbem is a legacy boot script. I looked on my newly installed Sol10 install and port 898 isn't up on my server either. A "svcs -a" command didn't show up services that appear to be SMC console related.
    Stupid question - Did you go through the SMC install process on that server ?

  • 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.

  • 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
    if your smpatch no longer works
    take a look at the following article

  • 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.usermgr.client.users.UserContent$MyListFetch.listAll(UserContent.java:1133)
            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.
    We have the following JDK installed
    $ java -version
    java version "1.5.0_14"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_14-b03)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_14-b03, mixed mode)
    $All the Java symbolic links seems OK

    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.
