Solaris Management Console 2.0 installation problem

I installed Solaris_Management_Console_2.0 in my intel machine (Solaris 8). I am using 3COM lan card for network connectiong its working fine and my s3 vga is not supporting so i have taken default 16 bit for vga.
Problem after installing the SMC2.0, i can able to start the vserver daemon. But when i am trying to start SMC console i am getting only a blank screen and in back ground some java related files are displaying. Screen is not moving further.
I would like to know whether this problem is because of my not supporting s3 vga card?

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

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

Try 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 Server Problems

When I try to run Solaris Management Console, I get an error saying that the server is not running on port 898. I have followed the instructions on hte FAQ. I see no instances of smcboot running in the processes. When I run /etc/init.d/init.wbem start it returns to the prompt with no additional information. When I then run /etc/init.d/init.wbem status - it says the server is not running. Anyone have any ideas ... this is driving me nuts. I have gone so far as executing smcwbemserver by hand, and it returns "smcwbemserver [7]: /lib/functions: not found"
Does ANYONE have any ideas (faint sobbing sounds in the background...)

I've got the same problem on b63 aswell if I start wbem manually I get no error (infact I don't get anything) and the server just dies. Also had the same thing on a previous Solaris 10 beta and through trial and error found it to be /etc/resolv.conf misconfigured. Unfortunately I can't quite remember what I done to fix it , if I remember I'll post back.

Solaris 10 management console... login problem!

Hi all!
I have started correctly the solaris management console server using /etc/init.d/init.wbem start.
I have launched the console correctly too (/usr/sbin/smc)
But when I try to access some aministrative tool (such as user management or disk management), it prompts a message asking me for the root password, which I wrote correctly too... but it always returns a "login failed" message...
Any idea??? Anyone else have the same problem???
Thanks.

Yes, I have the exact same problem. For me the problem is caused by the fact that solaris management console will not work with blowfish or md5 hashed passwords for root. Since I enabled and created a root password using md5, I cannot use the management console. This is what sun support wrote back to me about this:
PROBLEM SUMMARY :
as root. Root password is rejected. Even when run 'smc' as root user,
asks for root password again and rejects it
SOLUTION :
have found many instances stating blowfish and SMC do not work..I did
find one potential workaround, but it may or may not work.If you want
totry it here is what they suggested..
To use SMC, must disable non-default password algorithm,
Set the CRYPT_DEFAULT line in /etc/security/policy.conf to:
CRYPT_DEFAULT=__unix__
Then delete the SMC users password with passwd -d, then set a new password:
# passwd -d root
passwd: password information changed for root
# passwd root
New Password:
Re-enter new Password:
passwd: password successfully changed for root
Try it on as test box in case it messes up SMC
Other than that it looks like it is not compatible
Odd that the 'most advanced operating system' behaves in this manner.

Solaris Management Console hanging

Did anyone have a similar problem?
We are running Solaris Management Console 2.1 on Solaris 10 update 3
It was working fine until recently.
Now, it hangs forever.
We have no problem in launching it, loging to using our normal account, and switching to sysadmin role.
However, it hangs forever every time we try to do some action with the following error message showing on the terminal screen:
Exception in thread "Thread-21" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/admin/cis/common/ShowCommands

The symptom in the X-Windows session is always the same: hangs forever when trying to browse users to perform necessary operations, such as adding, deleting, changing groups, and so on.

I have received the following reply from Sun tech support:
Hello again Shen,
After I got your email I went back through your files and did an internal search on the breaking of classpath and java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error. I found a case that had similar error messages and the root cause was determined to be the order of the patch installation.
Here is a clip from that case;
===
The patch install order for 121308-12 and 119313-19 can have a negative affect on SMC.
Please have the customer try the following workaround:
patchrm 121308-12 and 119313-19
In this order, patchadd 119313-19 and then patchadd 121308-12
===
Your netinfo files show that you are only up to 119313-16 on your wbem patch. The latest patch is;
119313-19
SunOS 5.10: WBEM Patch
Date: Mar/27/2008
You may find that updating to this patch will make the edit to the /usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin/smc file unnecessary.
Since your original problems have been resolved, I will go ahead and close the case. You may want to consider updating to the latest WBEM patch on your next update cycle.
Thanks,
Dave
I guess patch 119313-19 solves the problem.
I have launched SMC on a few servers that I haven't changed /usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin/smc file.
SMC didn't hang.
So, I checked for patch level and they all have patch 119313-19 installed.

Solaris Management Console and X86 Disk

Greetings,
I am trying to use the Solaris Management Console to manage the 2 disks I have in my Intel PC. Both disk are allocated 100% to Solaris 10 and were formatted and partitioned by the installation program.
Why is it that when I use the Management Console it tells me that there is no Solaris FDISK partition and that I cannot manage the disk until I put a Solaris FDISK partition on them? It doesn't seem like the tool is all that useful if it cannot use the default format put on the disk by the install program.
On related note, why is it that auto layout during install creates partitions that are barely large enough to hold the OS? From what I can see it puts the bulk of the disk space into home for user home directories but this creates a problem when trying to install additional SW such as StarOffice.
Cheers
TC

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.

Cannot start Solaris Management Console in Solaris 9

I cannot start the Solaris Management Console in Solaris 9. The splash screen appears for a few seconds, then nothing else.
There is a error: "Assertion Fail: Offset < fFileSize ..." something like that.
Please help me~~~~~~~

Java Bug 4838130:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4838130.html
suggests to trace the problem by running the java application with JAVA2D_DEBUGFONTS defined, so try
env JAVA2D_DEBUGFONTS=1 smc
The bug report also documents a workaround: Set the environment variable JAVA_FONTS to
/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType, i.e.
env JAVA_FONTS=/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType smc

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 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
take a look at the following article

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.

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.

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.
