Solaris 10 Remote Monitoring/Management

Hi,
I have some Solaris 10 Servers that i'm currently able to administer/monitor locally but the company will be moving very soon and i'm looking into remote management. I'm wondering on machines such as X2100's where LOM software is automatically available how i could do remote management of the Solaris 10 boxes. I also have a V480 which we'd like to administer remotely.
If we should get some specific hardware to achieve this, please let me know what's out there and what would be appropriate.
I'm thinking of using OpenVPN for secure connections for regular operations on those boxes.
Thanks,
Charles

You can either connect to the LOM as suggested above, you will need to configure it prior to hooking the LOM to the network. I would caution you from putting a LOM port on an OPEN network connected to the internet.
You should have a VPN setup where you can connect to the VPN the connect to the LOM via ssh.
Once this is done, you will connect to the LOM and login, issue the command start /SP/console, reply y and you will be connected to the server. However this will give you a single connection only and can be kinda sluggish at times.
Once on the server you should (at a minimum) issue the following command 'netservices limited' this will sorta lockdown a server and limit network access. If you VPN in you should be able to connect to the server via SSH as well as the LOM. You should typically only use the LOM when the server is inaccessible. If you read the documentation on docs.sun.com you will find all the info you need for this to happen.

Solution Manager Create remote monitoring entry

Hello,
I need some help or clarification please. We just upgraded our Solution Manager to EHP1 spk25 and I'm trying to setup Solman to support central system monitoring. I'm on the last step to enter the moitored ABAP system in CEN through RZ21 Techincal >Configure Central System>Create remote monitoring entry.
I can enter my own System ID but can't enter the RFC destination ? These default to *_RZ20_Collect and *_RZ20_Analyze. I want to use the RFC's already in place through Charm since these are already setup and working correctly. Can someone tell me how to change this or why we have to use the defaults.
Thanks in advance
Stephanie

Please disregard.

Subsystems RmCm Remote Monitor section is empty after adding supervisors

Hi all,
I am trying to configure Remote monitoring. But when i added supervisors from Tools>User Management>Supervisor Capability View, supervisors does not show up in Subsystems > RmCm > Remote Monitor section.
any ideas guys?
Thanks

Hi Telmuun,
Please create the supervisor ID only with the numbers for an example "12345" , do not include any alphabets in this.
This is one of the requirements of Remote monitoring Supervisor ID.
You can open the Help for this page on Remote monitoring GUI you will seee this information.
Hope this helps.

How can one develop "view only" client applications in Lookout?This is to develop remote monitoring without control functionality.

How can one develop "view only" client applications in Lookout?This is to develop remote monitoring without control functionality.
We have 10 Client Nodes in the field and we need two "View Only" functionality in Client machines located on Supervisory Desks.

I have done this. There are many ways to approach this but I will offer what I think is the easiest. This will work ONLY if you have been assigning security levels to your objects (objects that actually control devices in the field) greater than zero AND allowing a security level of zero to view all panels. When I develop interfaces I do this just for creating a non control client.
Basically, you remove all users from the Lookout client in the user manager. You will not be able to remove the built-ins, "Guest" and "Administrator". Now when the end users tries to login using his normal login he will be denied. Consequently, he will not be able to control. But, he will still be able to view all the information since a no login can view a panel with a viewing se
curity level of zero. You must ensure any pushbuttons that are used to open panels have a security level of zero.
Now you can copy this security profile by finding the lookout.sec file and copying it to another non-control client computer. In Windows NT this file is located in the system32 directory.
There are many other ways but I find this the easiest.

Tommy Scharmann

Remote update manager and ausst

Hello,
I try to set up automatic updates for all creative cloud applications in our company. The AUSST is already working and a web-directory exists, but there are still some problems I cannot solve yet.
1. Does the remote udpate manager also use the AdobeUpdater.Overrides? If not, how can I use our internal AUSST Web Server for the remote updates?
2. Which option in the Creative Cloud Packager creates the folder \ProgramData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\ ?
3. Where does the Adobe Update Manager save the .overrides-file I chose in the Adobe Update Manager? Does this file also apply for the Remote Update Manager?
4. Is there any way to change the extended configuration parameters for a package after the installation
Thanks and regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
Please find the answers outlined below.
1. Does the remote update manager also use the AdobeUpdater.Overrides? If not, how can I use our internal AUSST Web Server for the remote updates?
Ans: Setup RUM with AUSST : Creative Cloud Help | Using Adobe Remote Update Manager
2. Which option in the Creative Cloud Packager creates the folder \ProgramData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\ ?
Ans : Creative cloud packager doesn't create this folder. this is being created while deploying the update payloads.
3. Where does the Adobe Update Manager save the .overrides-file I chose in the Adobe Update Manager? Does this file also apply for the Remote Update Manager?
Ans: Override.xml is being generated manually using Adobe update server setup tool. In case you install the package without setting up an update sever under package configuration, it generates AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat.
4. Is there any way to change the extended configuration parameters for a package after the installation
Ans : Package configuration can't be changed once created once created.
Hope this helps.
Let me know in case you would need any further clarification.
Thanks,
Ashish

Remote Update Manager with AAMEE 2.1 deployments.

Hi,
I've noticed the AAMEE 3.1 Beta has some new options that integrate with Remote Update Manager and CS6 installation packages, that allows you disable updates, but still run them with Remote Update Manager. If I've deployed and Adobe CS5.5 package built with AAMEE 2.1, with the ability to install updates disabled, will I still be able to use Remote Update Manager to install updates to those deployments? Or will I need to continue to deploy them manually? If I want to deploy CS5.5 and use Remote Update Manager for updates, what settings should I be using in AAMEE 2.1 when I build my packages?
Thanks,
~Ted

Hi Ted,
RUM can also be used with CS5 & CS5.5 and by the sounds of it would fit in with your current configuration very well. If user's are non admins or you do not want each client pulling in there updates automatically then we would suggest turning off client updates in AAMEE and then using RUM.
Have you looked at setting up AUSST in your environment ? it is great to use in conjunction with RUM but you can of course just use RUM if you prefer.

Remote Update Manager missing exception apps

Hi all,
Can anyone explain to me why remote update manager or even the Update GUI does not include any of the exception deployed apps like Lightroom or Acrobat? I get users asking us to update these for us when they open the app as the pop up appears.
We have automated all the standard apps' updates via remote update manager but the cannot include the other exception ones. Can anyone help me with this one? I want to automate all the updates.
If it isn't implemented yet then I'd like it to be since we lock admin rights from our users for security reasons.
Thanks,
Josh.

Remote Update Manager doesn't recognize applicable updates

Hi,
We have a script scheduled to run Remote Update Manager on one of our client machines. This machine is currently running OSX 10.8.5 and Adobe Creative Cloud. When looking at Creative Cloud directly, we can clearly see that there are updates available for our Adobe products. Remote Update Manager, however, does not recognize these updates and will therefore not automatically update. This prevents the user from working as they do not have access to administrative credentials used to update these applications.
I have included an example of the returned messages by Remote Update Manager. These logs are pulled as of this morning but, as you can see, still reflect an outdated entry of 10/17/13.

Remote Update Manager - Acrobat Pro

Hello everyone,
Please review this snippit from the Remote Update Manager (RUM) documentation.
Note: Remote Update Manager is meant only for a subsection of Adobe Desktop products. It can not be used for browser plug-ins such as Flash Player and for Adobe Reader, Acrobat Professional, and Adobe AIR application updates.
I ask the question... WHY?
Why, at the very least isn't Acrobat Pro part of the Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) and RUM configuration?
I've finally gotten my Adobe udate server working and created a Scheduled Task to run the incremental update everyday. Perfect.
Now I'm implementing the override files on my client machines and creating a Scheduled Tasks to run the RemoteUpdateManager so that my users (as well as myself) do not have to worry about updating the Adobe programs... BUT... one of the programs that we use quite a bit, Acrobat Pro, is not part of this automated update scenario.
So, I'm left still updating Acrobat manually which almost, but not quite, defeats the purpose of AUSST & RUM.
Can anyone from Adobe tell me whether there are plans to add Acrobat Pro to the automated updating procedure mentioned above?
Please say yes.
I'm so close to being at the point where the Adobe updates are completely automated. Adding Acrobat Pro to the list would be like hitting a grand slam in the 9th inning to win the game.
Thanks in advance.

Markus, thank you for the information.
First, If Acrobat is not a creative product then it shouldn't be offered in the CC collection of programs.
Second, Things being the way they are - Acrobat being deployable with the CC programs - it should be updated the same way as the CC programs. It would just make it nice and tidy and dare I say efficient.
I will check out the link to the tools. Great, more software to download, install and configure.

What I'm not getting is the "Ending the RemoteUpdateManager Return Code (0)" part.
I'm using the latest AAMEE.
Are there any further things I can do to see why this is happening?

It seems to be related to the new Creative Cloud Packager (version 1.7).
All the packs I had made with 1.5 exited correctectly.
All the packs I have make with 1.7 dont exit.
And it seems to be impossible to go back to 1.5 ....
I think the problem might be with this line (from uob_csis but I get the exact same):
RemoteUpdateManager version is : 1.7.0.25 (BuildVersion: 1.6; BuildDate: Tue Sep 02 2014 07:02:05 )
There seems to be an incoherence between the version and the buildversion.

Remote update manager creative cloud app

Hello,
remote update manager won't update the creative cloud app for windows. Is it intended, that we need a separate tool to update the CC-App? Are there any manuals describing how to automatically update it?
Since users in out company don't have admin privileges, i'd like to do it with a tool such as the remote update manager - but RUM will update all other adobe applications, just not the creative cloud app...
Thanks and regards,
Tobias

Hi Ashubijalwan1,
just to make sure there is no misunderstanding:
All Creative Suite Apps are updated except for the app with the name "Adobe Creative Cloud".
When I use the Creative Cloud Packager and select solely the core components, "Adobe Creative Cloud" is a part of them. The program itself shows a message saying that an update is necessary, but RUM won't update "Adobe Creative Cloud".
Best regards,
Tobias

New to solaris---is update manager working correctly?

well as my subject says I am new to solaris having put it on an pc bout a week ago. as I am using the "free" verson (not open solaris) I knew I would not be entitled to certain goodies but seem to have run into an issue getting the updates I (presumably) am entitled to. simply put I open up the solaris application "update manager" which is on my desktop saying "updates available". now upon initially launching the app I specified that I was using the free version (well it let me register without a code so I assume sun knows my status), and then selected the option to put a check mark next to all available updates. well after waiting like a full day with it showing that is was still in the process up updating I eventually aborted the process. I then tried installing a couple of the updates and though it took a while it worked. so I selected 3 of 4 more and again the update manager showed that I was updating but nothing was happening (to my knowledge). after several hours I aborted the app again. so what am I doing wrong. first off I am assuming that what sun presents to me is what is actually available to me using the free unregistered version of solaris. why then would updates fail? btw I know some linux (not an expert) and I figured that behind the scenes update manager was checking for dependencies and installing what I needed from sun repos. but of course I could be way off bass here. so what gives? thanks much in advance.

first off I am assuming that what sun presents to me is what is actually available to me using the free unregistered version of solaris.No. Update Manager will show you everything but will only allow you to install basically security and a small subset of other patches.
When you ran through the Solaris registration GUI you had a chance to enter a support contract #. If you chose not to enter one or if you want to use it without registering then you only get access to a few of the patches.
