Toolbox in Solaris management console
I installed Solaris management console 2.0 and when I try to open it, it asks me for a toolbox. What kind of file is a toolbox? Could anybody tell me how can i install a toolbox?
Thanks
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 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 9, Solaris Management Console ISSUE
Solaris 9, Solaris Management Console ISSUE
I have Solaris 9 installed and I am unable to use the Solaris Management console.
I have managed to start it:
/etc/init.d/init.wbem start
/etc/init.d/init.wbem status -> shows it's running
But if I try browser with the link http:// host:898, I have got the following error:
"A web version of the Solaris Management Console is not available at this time."
any Idea why?Are you running Trusted Extensions? What patch cluster are you on? What toolbox are you opening?

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:
./init.wbem status
Solaris Management Console server version 2.1.0 running on port 898.
Not sure why this error message appeared, thanks.Regarding SMC (not SunMC)..
Note: SMC = Solaris Management Console
SunMC = Sun Management Center (topic of this forum)
Patch 121308-16+ makes WBEM "secure by default."
Customers running Solaris 10 6/06 or prior must modify the client's WBEM
configuration file to allow remote connections after installing patch 121308.
1. Modify the following line in /usr/sadm/lib/smc/policy/smcserver.config:
FROM:
remote.connections=false
TO:
remote.connections=true
2. Stop and restart wbem.
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem stop
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
3. Verify that WBEM is now listening for connections to port 898
on all interfaces:
# netstat -an |grep 898
*.898 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
In Solaris [TM]10 update 3 (11/06), the startup mechanism for WBEM was changed
from the legacy (rc script) method to the new Service Management Facility (SMF).
To allow remote WBEM connections on Solaris 10 update 3 or later:
# svcadm disable wbem
# svccfg -s wbem setprop options/tcp_listen=true
# svcadm enable wbem -
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,

How to access solaris management console from web browser??
Hi,
I am running Sol9 with the latest patches. The console gui freezes every time I try to admin NIS users in my NIS toolbox. It used to work but now it doesn't. I need to access this thing from a web browser if that's possible since there is no console that I can install on my windows laptop that can connect to the server.
Can this be done?? I can't find any info on docs.sun.com on what URL and port to use.
I did find something that says there is a /usr/sadm/bin/smcwebserver but it does not exist on any of my machines.
Help?? Please???
Thanks,
TomOn my machine, when I point my browser to http://<hostname>:898 (the management server port) I get a nice message telling me that a web version of the Solaris Management Console is not currently available. Running the console tells me I'm running v2.1 which is what came out of the box.
I think the webserver component you refer to only ships with v3.0 and later. You can go to http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/sunmanagementcenter/index.html and download a base version for free to check it out.
By the way, I don't use a remote console to manage remote servers. It's too clunky. My solution for running the SMC remotely is to start an XServer on my laptop, telnet to the Sun host, su - root, set DISPLAY=<mylaptop>:0 and then run smc directly from the host. As long as there's no firewall blocking port 6000 between you and your host, you should be OK. This should be straightforward if you've run any graphical X apps before.
However, I don't administer NIS and my laptop is a Mac. Your mileage may vary considerably. -

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...Hi dnzrnd,

Are you maybe confusing "Sun Management Center" (this forum) with "Solaris Management Console" (a different product)?

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

David SuladzeTry 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

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 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,
RTAs 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 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.
