SMC in Solaris 9 not starting

Hi
I have installed Solaris 9 12/04 on E450 Server . when i try to start SMC from /etc/init.d/init.wbem i am getting a message " Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : com/sun/management/viperimpl/server/ViperServer.I have Solaris Management console 2.1 installed.
Please suggest what to do ?

What do you mean under "jre2" or "jre3"? What version of JRE you exactly mean?
AFAIK, Java 3 Runtime Environment does NOT exist in the nature :) It's a joke? If not, please, provide valid download link to java.sun.com we can to download this wonderful invisible Java edition ;)
PS. I've the same problem on Solaris10, both SPARC and x86. The java -version command on my Blade box has this output:
# java -version
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
IMHO, this means, that Sol10 uses JRE2, right? Next, we listen about hypotetical "Java 3" runtime?

  • Solaris 10 x86 - SMC server not starting

    Same problem as here :
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/message/12180
    No solution yet ...
    SMC server doesn't start at boot, and won't start manually with /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
    starting it manually gives :
    # export VIPER_HOME=/usr/sadm/lib/smc
    # ./smcwbemserver -p 898 start
    Starting Solaris Management Console server version 2.1.0.
    endpoint created: :898
    Solaris Management Console server exiting: internal initialization failed: Initialization failed for service com.sun.management.viper.services.Authorization.
    Any idea?
    I have a basic Solaris 10 setup, with Entire Collection selected.
    My graphic card is not working so I had to install in text mode and access X remotely.

    I believe this is a fault in the crypto file that is mentioned in the Yahoo X86 posting, namely pkcs11_kernel.so. I have a possible workaround for this. Try looking at:
    http://www.webmin.com
    This is a free Web-based management tool that has most but not all of the functionality of the SMC. I tried downloading and installing the Solaris package from their download page, but this didn't work. What I eventually did was remove the package and download and install the generic Unix version, which was webmin-1.160.tar.gz as of when I downloaded it. The only gotchas to watch for are to run the setup.sh script and select Sun Solaris as the O/S, then select Solaris 9 as the version (they don't technically support 10 yet). I have been able to add users and groups and manage the disk without problems.

  • Sapinst not started for PI 7.1 on Solaris 1064bit and Oracle10

    Hello,
    We are running NW 7.10 PI 7.1 installation on Sun Solaris 10 and Oracle 10.2.0.4 platform. We are using the following installation DVDs for installing PI.
    Installation Master   = 51033240_21
    Java Component = 51033242
    UC Kernel = 51033245
    We are doing following to run ./sapinst
    1. log on as root
    2. set JAVA_HOME, TEMP and DISPLAY
    3. go to master DVD and run ./sapinst
    The instgui is not showing any error Problematicc sentence structure ./SAPinst is just getting frozen. We used another script ./sapinstgui from the same directory and it shows us some logon screen with port 21212 in the GUI. However, when we try clicking logon it does nothing.
    We've ensured that port 21212 or any other port that supposed to be used by SAPinst are not blocked on the firewall or not used by any other application. Host and DNSfiles are also okay. Based on one of the previous forum   /etc/nss*.conf files also exist in our PI host.  Not sure why the SAPinst GUI is not started.
    We've also ensured that we need any new SAPinst support pach from marketplace, however current installation master dvd is the latest one release in March 09 and there are no further patches released by SAP.
    Please help if anyone of you have faced this issue before.
    Harshal

    I tried ./sapinst SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number> as well as the default port number. Both of them fails.
    normally  ./sapinst itself should establish all the port automatically that it uses. Which currently is not happening.
    Do you want me to copy installation master dvd for Solaris on windows work station from where i'm initiating it through Xmanager session and try running ?  The installation master dvd that i'm currenty using is for Solaris platform which meanase ./sapinst is compiled for Solaris, how will it be supported by Windows ?

  • Could not start Agent on a Solaris 5.10u2 x86 machine

    Hi,
    I installed SunMC 3.6.1 on a Solaris 5.10u2 x86 machine. Only Agent

    Hal

    Hi Hal, :)
    # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -a
    Could not start Agent.I've seen this before too. "svcadm enable/disable sunmcagent" didn't fix things. But for some reason if I started the agent interactively (es-start -ai) it worked... and I let the Agent load a few modules and verified it worked in the Console. Then once I quit out of interactive mode (thereby stopping the Agent) svcadm enable/disable and es-start/stop worked correctly again.
    I had that happen to me 2-3 times now, and every time mucking about in interactive mode a bit fixed it. It must reset something in svcs.

  • Solaris 10 installation does not start

    Hi
    I am new to solaris . I downloaded the four zipped ISO files of solaris 10 from the website. I burned the images on the cd. When i insert the disk 1 and restart the computer it does not detect the cd as bootable and does not start the installation. I have win XP previously installed as the only os on my laptop. help me pls

    Make sure your computer supports bootable CD's and that you burned the images correctly to your CDR.

  • Solaris 10 does not start X

    Seems like a lot of people are having the same problem as i have , that X is not launched when booting up machine.
    I have tried to install Solaris 4 times now. With different package setups, all setups using all packages in the chosen group.
    All 4 times the installation has been successful, no errors during installation. it finds my ATI mobility card, mounse and keyboard are correct setup.
    During the install the X test is successful with movement in mouse and an visible testimage at 1400x1050 pixels.
    Still, when booting after installation the X is not starting (CDE or gnome).
    When looking inside /usr/X/bin, /usr/X11/bin there is only two identical files: X and Xserver. It seems like i am missing packages, Xorg and so on.
    What to do?
    Is this something similar some one else has seen. Do i do anything wrong during setup/install???
    Everything else works as it should, Network, FTP and so on, but not X.
    This is run on AMD64, so the 64 bit version of solaris is started.

    Yes ...
    I have the similar problem with sun equipment (Blade and Ultra with Sun monitor) with beta version and with final release of solaris 10 (rel 3/05)
    I looked around on the net and find many people with this problem ... What it is amazing is that no one was able to answer ... !
    It is NOT a compatibility problem considering I`m using ONLY Sun hardware!
    At that point I think it is really a serious bug... (same setup on Solaris 9 produces a full working installation)
    Some one can just say if it is a bug or if the setup in Solaris 10 should be different from Solaris 9 to have the X Windows system working ?
    Thank you

  • Can not start installation of Solaris 8

    (-: frenchee having pb with english speaking, please be nice : I still try to solve it ;-)
    On my Ultra1 creator, there is "ultrapenguin" a release for ultrasparc of Linux RH 5.2.
    I put the CD which I downloaded from "sun download center" ; I start the sun ; I press "stop+A" ; I send "boot cdrom" command ; it reply "can not start with file and args given" or something like that...
    The same procedure works fine with the install CD of RedHat 5.2 or with the install CD of Debian Potato (all for sparc, of course).
    What is wrong ??
    Thanks by advance !

    YES I did !!
    I found the solution last sunday : one of my friend give me an old version of Solaris (2.6) with the entire docs and packaging.
    In these docs, I found the command I (and you) have to type if you want to run the installation :
    after [stop]+[a], type the line
    boot cdrom - browser
    then, come back here and say to all (and to Sun corp) that a little readme file on the CD would be nice... ;-)
    Thanks to all.

    Hi Sugunakar,
    There are a few small things I can think of checking:
    I am trying to install SMC on solaris 10What version of Solaris 10 are you using? You need 11/06 (aka "Update 3") or later. Also, it looks like this is on a V210: how much memory and swap do you have ([requirements here|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/deployment-72?l=en&a=view])? And have you [edited your /etc/project file|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2216/chapter2-1000?l=en&a=view] to adjust the shared memory settings?
    Have you applied any of the [patch sets|http://forums.halcyoninc.com/showthread.php?t=104]?
    smcdatabase service is always in maintenance mode.It would be interesting to see what that service log says. Look in /var/svc/log/application-management-sunmcdatabase:default.log for clues.
    /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/guibased-setup.1285765588453.sh: /var/opt/SUNWsymon/db/data/SunMC/pg_hba.conf: cannot createIs there any reason why SunMC may not be able to write to /var (or /var/opt/SUNWsymon)? Maybe portions of /var are read-only (shared from a global zone, or over NFS)?
    I've done a lot of SunMC pilot projects over the years: if you could use some help speeding up your eval just send me an email.

  • Intel iMac not starting...please HELP!!!

    Hey all,
    Well I just arrived to my new dorm room in college with my one week old iMac and I'm encountering some serious problems....
    I plugged the computer in while it was on my desk, with other hardware attached into a surge protector and it worked fine for about two days. Today I recieved some new furniture so I had to unplug the computer to move things around....I unplugged it and placed it flat (screen side up) on a pillow.
    I plugged it back in with a new surge protector, connected the hardware and pressed the button...didn't start. The printer, the speakers, everything else had power so it wasn't a faulty power strip...just the computer wouldn't start. I then did the following:
    1. Tried different connections on the same surge protector
    2. Switched back to the old surge protector
    3. Plugged the computer w/o external devices into the wall directly
    4. Tried it as described above into a different wall outlet
    And nothing has worked. I'm going to call Apple in the morning, but as you can imagine with the year starting this is the last thing I need. I'm using my old G3 iBook at the moment to get by, but what has happened to my brand new iMac? Thanks for your help

    DIRECTLY from the iMac Help site:
    The System Management Controller (SMC) is a chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer. If your computer is experiencing any power issue, resetting the SMC may resolve it. The SMC controls several functions, including:
    * Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so forth.
    * Handling system resets from various commands.
    * Controlling the fans.
    Note that resetting the SMC does not reset the PRAM. Resetting the SMC will not resolve issues in which your computer is unresponsive—in these situations, restarting your computer will generally suffice. If your computer isn't responding, perform these steps one at a time, in this order, until the issue has been resolved:
    1. Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
    2. Restart (Control-Command-Power).
    3. Force Shut Down (press the power button for 10 seconds).
    Resetting the SMC can resolve some computer issues such as not starting up, not displaying video, sleep issues, fan noise issues, and so forth. If your computer still exhibits these types of issues after you've restarted the computer, try resetting the SMC. To reset the SMC on an iMac (Early 2006), iMac (Mid 2006), or Mac mini (Early 2006):
    1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    3. Wait at least 15 seconds.
    4. Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    5. Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
    The iMac (Early 2006) and later models do not have a button on the main logic board for resetting the SMC, which eliminates the need to remove the computer's cover to reset it (as required for some earlier models).

  • Mac Pro will not start up. Firmware or graphics problem?

    A really weird thing happened to my MacPro 1,1. It has been working fine for the last 5 years until today when I was running Parallels and suddenly the screen got those thin, horizontal, wavy, purple lines all over the place and cursor turned into a beachball. I tried to Force Quit Parallels but it didn't work. I had to hold power button to force the computer to shut down.
    I am running 10.6.8 and just yesterday I installed some updates but these were minor: Safari, iTunes, Java. The computer worked fine after those have been installed.
    Now the scary thing - the computer does not start up properly. When I press the power button I hear the chime but then I see the grey Apple logo with those purple, wavy lines in it. The computer seems to find the system on the hard drive but when it gets to the login screen it doesn't display the login window or the background properly. Instead I get just a plain grey color with a cursor (arrow) that moments later turns into a beachball.
    I unplugged everything to bare minimum and tried to start it up from Snow Leopard CD. It finds the CD but the same thing happens - I don't see the CD installation menu, just a blank grey screen.
    This makes me think: either the graphics card died (GeForce 7300GT) or it is some OpenFirmware problem.
    I removed the card from its slot, blew off some dust and reset it. No change. I tried resetting SMC as well (Even though the instructions are a bit weird: unplug power, wait, plug it back in, wait, press power). I do have non-Apple RAM installed (6GB total) but it doesn't seem to be RAM issue - all status LEDs on both riser cards just blink red briefly during power up.
    Should I plan a trip to the Genius Bar or do I own now a very expensive paperweight?
    Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate your help.

    I found your thread very helpful.  I have a 2009 mac pro 3,1 that seems to be doing similar things.  It was working fine then occasionally the screen would flicker and then freeze the system.  had to power off to get out of it.  Now it won't boot.  I get purple and white vertical lines and the apple with the pinwheel.  the pinwheel stops after a while and thats it.  i tried booting from the cd and get to the harware test but the screen is split left and right.  really unreadable.  i suspect the graphics card (geforce ) so i tried booting without the card installed. i believe it still did not complete the boot.  my question is should i be able to boot without a graphics card installed?  any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

  • WebLogic admin server not starting.

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with my WebLogic Admin server not starting. Following a VM reboot last week our admin servers are no longer starting. On this particular server we have 3 admin servers serving 3 separate environments.
    Theserver seems to be getting stuck right at the very start. I have tried removing tmp, cache and ldap directories. Searched for and removed all .lok files. I have manually turned on full debug to try and flush some extra information through standard out but no luck. It is very peculiar. When we have exported the domain to another box and started the admin server it has come up successfully.
    This is the output from the logs - this is literally as far as it get before it hangs and does nothing. As far as I know the next thing WebLogic is doing is checking the version. Has anyone any ideas what the problem could be? It is server wide as all 3 admin servers on the same box are suffering the same problem.
