Enterprise Manager Console doesn' t show the correct data

Hi everyone,
we use a oracle 10gR1 rac with two nodes.
we use the oracle enterprise manager console but it does not work all parts of.
And the console is wrong with some parts of the data shows.
for example ;
in the home page, Performans Analysis section shows the date two months earlier. Why ?
(Period Start Time 25.Ara.2010 21:00:59 Period Duration (minutes) 60,02)
other example ;
in the performans tab, host section does not show any data.
why doesn't work this section?
what can i do?
oracle version = 10.1.0.5
OS platform = AIX node1 3 5 00C5116E4C00
thanks.

Hm... could be that your machine is low on RAM for java apps (yours and OEM Console). (You can check resource consumption via perfmon)

WLS 8.1.5 console doesn't show ActiveDirectory (or custom) Users/Groups

We currently have numerous apps running on a weblogic 8.1.4 portal domain. I am attempting to replicate this domain on 8.1.5. There are four authenticators on our old domain: a DefaultAuthenticator, an ActiveDirectoryAuthenticator, and two Custom Authenticators (based on the sample database authenticator), with JAAS flags set to OPTIONAL for all. Everything was working properly under sp4, including user/group/membership listings in console and authentication. Under sp5, while simple authentication seems to work with all providers, the user/group/membership listings in weblogic console have bad HTML (empty rows under any default authenticator users/groups). The active directory settings were migrated wholesale and I verified that authentication works against this provider. Just no usernames or groupnames. I tested with just ActiveDirectory and DefaultAuthenticator, DefaultIdentityAsserter.

I was able to debug a bit more using our custom authenticators. I have verified that the user and group lists are being requested and returned properly when you click on Manage Users or Manage Groups in weblogic 8.1.5 console. It just seems like somewhere in the console there is a problem and the HTML output is garbled. Here is a sample of my debug text, the method names and classes should be immediately familiar from the sample authenticator:

Managing LDAP users with Solaris Management Console

I'm using Solaris Management Console (SMC) to manage users in our Directory Server. Unfortunately, the default "user manager" in SMC does not have a tab to manage netgroups. Does anybody else use SMC to manage users and have you created a custom tool to manage netgroups? If so, how did you do it?

Hello Senthilkumar,
Here are the outputs from the commands. The other ones that I left out (/var/adm/messages and showrev -p) had a lot of output and I wasn't sure what you needed. Please let me know what to post or if you want me to post the whole things.

Exchange 2007/2010 Console doesn't show up Exchange 2007 Databases after RBAC Implementation

I have implemented a RBAC model after which Exchange 2010/2007 Console won't show up Exchange 2007 Mailbox Databases.
Everything was working fine up until the Users were members of "Exchange Recipient Administrators" Group.
I have created Custom Roles based on PArent Roles, Mail Recipients, Mail Recipient Creation, Distribution Groups & Public Folders and assigned that to a universal security group "Helpdesk operations". I removed membership for Helpdesk operations
from "Exchange Recipient Administrators" Group and assigned the Custom Roles to "Helpdesk Operations" using the cmdlet below:
New-ManagementRoleAssignment "Custom Role" -SecurityGroup "HelpDesk Operations"
Exchange 2010 console shows Exchange 2010 Databases but not Exchange 2007 DAtabases. Exchange 2007 console doesn't show up any databases on New-Mailbox and simply displays a message "No Objects Found".
Even Get-MailboxDatabase REturns blank output on Exchange 2007 SHell. Please help me with this and let me know in case if there is something that i need to be looking at!
any help on this is much appreciated.

Hi,
I recommend you use the following cmdlet and check the result.
Get-MailboxDatabase -Server "Exchange 2007 server name"
In my environment, if I don't specify the Server parameter on Exchange 2010 Management Shell, Exchange 2007 mailbox database can't be displayed. If I specify the Server parameter, Exchange 2007 mailbox database will be displayed.
What's more, please check if the account you use has been delegated the Exchange View-Only Administrator role.

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.

Can not login into Solaris Management Console

I have a stand alone Solaris 9 system, I am able to log in as root, when I try to run Solaris Management Console 2.1 to create/delete/modify users it prompts for the root password. I enter the root password and it doesn't take and prompts again to enter the root password. Current encryption is MD5, current password is 14 characters long, changed to 8 characters still same issue. Not sure exactly where to look or what I should be looking for, other information I have gathered if it helps:
/etc/user_attr
root::::profiles=All;auths=solaris.*,solaris.grant;type=normal

Seems your root password is not working.
Boot the system with CD to single user from PROM (ok).
From OK prom issue boot cdrom -s, the system will boot to single user mode.
Mount your root device, it will be something like /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0, mount it to some mount point like /mnt or /a. (mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt)
cd /mnt/etc
vi shadow
remove the encrypted password for user root and save the file.
cd /
umount /mnt or /a where root partition is mounted.
reboot the system and re-set your root password using passwd command.

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:

        at com.sun.admin.cis.common.ListFetch.run(ListFetch.java:284)I am not an expert in Java, but the above message seems to indicate a Sun JRE classpath problem. 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.
We have the following JDK installed

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.

How to access solaris management console from web browser??

Hi,
I am running Sol9 with the latest patches. The console gui freezes every time I try to admin NIS users in my NIS toolbox. It used to work but now it doesn't. I need to access this thing from a web browser if that's possible since there is no console that I can install on my windows laptop that can connect to the server.
Can this be done?? I can't find any info on docs.sun.com on what URL and port to use.
I did find something that says there is a /usr/sadm/bin/smcwebserver but it does not exist on any of my machines.
Help?? Please???
Thanks,
Tom

On my machine, when I point my browser to http://<hostname>:898 (the management server port) I get a nice message telling me that a web version of the Solaris Management Console is not currently available. Running the console tells me I'm running v2.1 which is what came out of the box.
I think the webserver component you refer to only ships with v3.0 and later. You can go to http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/sunmanagementcenter/index.html and download a base version for free to check it out.
By the way, I don't use a remote console to manage remote servers. It's too clunky. My solution for running the SMC remotely is to start an XServer on my laptop, telnet to the Sun host, su - root, set DISPLAY=<mylaptop>:0 and then run smc directly from the host. As long as there's no firewall blocking port 6000 between you and your host, you should be OK. This should be straightforward if you've run any graphical X apps before.
However, I don't administer NIS and my laptop is a Mac. Your mileage may vary considerably.

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...

Are you maybe confusing "Sun Management Center" (this forum) with "Solaris Management Console" (a different product)?

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:

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:

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

Once the keys are generated execute

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.
