SMC and RMIERROR in Solaris 10

I spent a while trying to find the Solaris Management Console in Solaris 10 via Java Desktop System so I could easily create a number of users etc. I found it and ran it and was pleasantly suprised to see it run OK first time. I logged in with root username and password and all seemed to be working OK.
At this point, my U30 thought it's hostname was UNKNOWN. I have since resolved this, but to my horror I can no longer use SMC. It opens OK, and I can navigate around, but when I try to go into a particular application I get an error message saying:
The "Users" application is not able to connect to the server. Reason: RMIERROR. Verify that the server is running. If it is running, try stopping and restarting it.
Number one, I have no idea how to check the server, or how to stop and start it, and number two, I have no idea what an RMIERROR is!
I noticed a message at the bottom of the SMC said unknown:898 not found, but it also mentions the correct hostname:898 is found. I checked the preferences and they also seem OK. I tried adding UNKNOWN to hosts also but that didn't work. I also tried to log in as a different user but again, it didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas? Quickly, before I go over and start using the SGi instead!

I have seen a similar issue with SMC. I first invoked the appication when the hostname was "unknown". Later I resolved the hostname issue and tried to restart SMC.
For reasons I am not clear on it tried to open the toolbox on "unknown" instead on my host. There is a way to go into SMC and specify a hostname/tool_box_PATH which got me back working.
It was as if SMC was unable to understand that the hostname had changed and was trying to invoke the toolbox across the net.

DS5.2P4 SMC and Trusted Extensions

I am having real trouble installing JDS 5.2P4 on my TX system. Here is the just of the issue:
I have installed a SunBlade 2500 from scratch with Solaris 10 8/07 (SUNWXall)
I then install and configure TX.
Reboot -- -s and install Patch Cluster dated 29 Jan 08 (yes there is a newer patch cluster but I have not tested that one in my environment)
Reboot -- -r -s, install the following patches:
122212-23
119538-14
125533-05
128404-01
119313-16
11 9315-11
Next I install Directory Server, start smc, and execute the dtsetup commands.
The problem is I only see files in the list of managable scopes. I have found very little to no documentation on dtsetup.
The frustrating thing is I have done this at least 10 times prior and have NEVER seen this problem.
I am completely stuck and would appreciate any suggestions.

Found the problem, I feel stupid, I was opening the non-TSOL toolbox in SMC.

How can I re-run the SMC and EFI driver updaters ?

When I bought my iMac Intel 20" in mid-2006, I immediately had a problem with the video driver when the computer woke up from sleep : the screen was badly flickering.
After lengthy talks with Apple, I was sent two updaters (one for the SMC and one for EFI) which solved the problem. Just to make sure, I deactivated completely the energy saver.
No problem for two years and a half.
Last night, for a reason unknown to me, the computer went into sleep mode and when it woke up, the whole screen was flickering and had vertical lines in it, despite having up-to-date SMC and EFI drivers.
Assuming that they had been corrupted, I wanted to re-run the updaters. But the computer refuses, saying that it is not needed.
So, my question is "HOW CAN I FORCE A RE-RUN" OF THE SMC AND EFI UPDATERS ?"
I have tried everything else, resetting the PRAM, resetting the SMC, tinkering with the monitor settings. But nothing works.
I believe that running again the updaters is the only possibility left, but they are up-to-date
Here is a summary of the iMac system info :
iMac (20-inch, Early 2006) IM41.0055.B08 (EFI 1.1) 1.1f5 (SMC 1.0).
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions
Patrice
PS : I have tried to contact the "experts" at Apple Support but, because my machine is two years old, they want me to buy time to ask this question from them, despite the fact that the problem stems clearly from a faulty design at the beginning of the iMac life, and that the knowledge base says that there is no unresolved issue presently with this model !
Well, the problem is still there after two years and I only avoided it by deactivating the energy saver.
But Apple never mentioned how to force running an updater if the machine does not want to ...

Metadevices and Upgrade from Solaris 2.6 to 8

Hello,
I want upgrade my current Solaris system from 2.6 to 8. My filesystem are mirrored metadevices including root partion. Are there any problems during upgrade? Did anybody recommend to detach metadevices and mirrors?
Thanks in advance

The wikipedia page on solaris http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system) shows the changes in the system as newer versions came out. I'd highly suggest getting a test box and setting up Solaris 10 on it, and getting a feel for the new install and in particular, ZFS. It's been a number of years since I last used 2.6, but Solaris 10 is vastly better in many ways, including stability. With ZFS you also don't have to use fsck. The best features of Solaris 10 are the new ZFS file system, zones, snapshots, and the new services (rather than rc scripts). If you are going to set up Solaris 10, it's best to immediately start with bootable ZFS file systems rather than trying to upgrade your UFS file systems later. Security is also vastly improved over 2.6, as well as not having to use the old OpenWindows. Also find out what changes you'll need to make to have your old apps run, with all the changes in libraries and stuff since then.

C and C++ applications - Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 transition

I am about to be involved in the process of building and deloying C and C++ applications on Solaris 10, that currently are built and run on Solaris 8. I do not anticipate significant problems, based on a review of the Solaris 10 release notes (particularly the End-of Software statements). However, I was curious to know if any one from the the Solaris community may have lessons learned that they would be willing to share in regards to this activity.
Thanks,

Ever since my update to Mavericks, my Mac mini won't connect to my wifi network. I reset SMC and still nothing. The error message reads that my WiFi network could not be joined, yet my iPad and Macbook can connect fine. Any help here would be great.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks on my macmini and suddenly it won't connect to my home wifi network. It says I need to move closer to my router whioch is really close and it worked fine before so I doubt this is the issue. Also, my IPad and Macbook connect just fine to the network, so it seems like its localized to my macmini and now funny enough my IPhone. I tried reseting SMC and PRAM, but this didn't help at all. Any helpful suggestions?

What are the symptoms or indicators that determine the necessity of resetting the SMC and PRAM?

Hi,
Can anyone have list of symptoms that may help a user to determine if there is a need to reset the SMC and PRAM.
I would appreciate if the high-end user of this site come up with their experiences in making a compiled list, possibly product wise, if any such attempt is not taken yet.
In case it is done already, please provide me with the active link/s.

Regarding the start up sound, i opened the L Bracket but Ram was seated properly. I just checked the ram's position but didn't remove it. However, i found the right most screw of the L-bracket was loosen, i don't know how.
Do you think i should remove the ram and reinsert it? If so, do i have to reset the PRAM after that?
The system profiler shows the ram is ok-

What do you think about the whole situation?

HT3964 I've tried to reset my SMC and battery still won't take charge.

My battery won't charge. The led light wont even turn on. I tried the steps to reset the SMC and nothing worked.

It's time to make the dreaded trip to the Apple Store or the Authorized Service Provider, with the wallet trembling at the big bite they will take. At best, a new battery solves the problem. Won't worry you more by going into the "at worst" section...

Scope and Career in Solaris OS 10

Hi,
My company is giving me a project (OMC or department) wherein I am to work on Solaris OS. However, my company is going to provide me with the training of Administration and Treoubleshooting of Solaris OS 10 (Technically the training would be at Level 2).
I have expertise of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 at RHCE Level. I have interest in learning more on UNIX.
So, my main question is: What would be my career or future in Solaris? Would I be working on a totally new technology? Would my understanding of UNIX and Linux be of a great help or not at all? Also, money or salary-wise, can I expect a good package after acquiring skills in Solaris OS?
With regards,
Dev.

Most of what you are asking is a matter of opinion and or geographically specific. I have found that there are quite a few similarities with rhel and solaris. What you will find a lot is that files may be similar in their configuration but are in different locations in solaris than in rhel. The way of configuring solaris as compared to rhel will be different as well. Solaris doesn't have as many built in configuration tools like rhel has, system-config...etc. Most of it will be done by hand via files or during initial set up.
Personally I love solaris, I feel it is a great OS that has a lot to offer. It is very stable.

I want to use a solaris box as an NTP server but the cisco boxes use MD5. My questions are:

If not is there an alternative that both support?
Are there any configuration docs for MD5 and NTP for solaris?
TIA

Sure !! support
You must set the key at /etc/inet/ntp.keys
