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

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 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
Last-modified header invalid -- time-stamp ignored.
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.

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.'
This is in the console:

I have tried to stop/start/restart the server with the init.wbem script in /etc/init.d

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?

Installing Solaris Management Console 2

Hi there
I'm quite new to Solaris and this may seem obvious but.....
We have a platform running Solaris 8, however when it was initially installed, the Solaris Management Console was not selected. We now want to install the Management Console.
I've tried the following:
From Solaris Software 1 of 2 CD
pkgadd -d . SUNWmccom SUNWmcc SUNWmc SUNWwbmc SUNWmcex SUNWmcdev SUNWmgapp SUNWmga SUNWdclnt
This returns an error of > no package associated with SUNWmccom etc.....<
Any help would be much appreciated, regards Rob

did you enable tcp listening?
svccfg -s wbem setprop options/tcp_listen=true
svcadm refresh wbem
svcadm restart wbem

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.

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!

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 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:

any Idea why?

Are you running Trusted Extensions? What patch cluster are you on? What toolbox are you opening?

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

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.
