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

  • 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.

    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.

  • Managing LDAP users with Solaris Management Console

    I'm using Solaris Management Console (SMC) to manage users in our Directory Server. Unfortunately, the default "user manager" in SMC does not have a tab to manage netgroups. Does anybody else use SMC to manage users and have you created a custom tool to manage netgroups? If so, how did you do 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.
    Thanks...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 :)

  • 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 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.
