Solaris Management Console reports disk errors

Hello,
Solaris Management Console is reporting my disk as having a non-Solaris partition, negative space remaining, and overlapping partitions.
All this after a trouble free install of Solaris 10 on a checked IBM and a Fujitsu hdd. (AMD +2600 chip, ASUS A7V8X mb)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You,
RT

As a followup - right after posting this message, I opened a support case for this, and the solution is that you need to go into /etc/security/policy.conf and backup JASS's change to the default encryption model.
Change CRYPT_DEFAULT=1 back to CRYPT_DEFAULT=__unix__
Then, you have to clear the password using "passwd -d", and then reset it again to what you want. Then, the management console will work.
I guess the management console is set to always use the __unix__ method, and not look at the policy.conf's setting. So when JASS wanders from the default, it breaks SMC.

  • 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.

    You moved the disks to another 280R, so that would seem to eliminate
    the systemboard, power supplies, and cabling from hardware causes.
    It also may have eliminated heat as causing intermittant disk operation.
    I suggest you might have a software problem, not a hardware problem.
    There have been PICLD patches, but they were rolled into the Solaris kernel years ago.
    Run Explorer, and open a support case with Sun.

    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 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

    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.

  • No Solaris Management Console was available on the specific server

    Hi all,
    We had just finish setting up a new Solaris 10 environment. When i launch smc on the server, on selecting toolbox there's an error message:
    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.
    However, upon verifying whether smc is running:
    ./init.wbem status
    Solaris Management Console server version 2.1.0 running on port 898.
    Not sure why this error message appeared, thanks.

    Regarding SMC (not SunMC)..
    Note: SMC = Solaris Management Console
    SunMC = Sun Management Center (topic of this forum)
    Patch 121308-16+ makes WBEM "secure by default."
    Customers running Solaris 10 6/06 or prior must modify the client's WBEM
    configuration file to allow remote connections after installing patch 121308.
    1. Modify the following line in /usr/sadm/lib/smc/policy/smcserver.config:
    FROM:
    remote.connections=false
    TO:
    remote.connections=true
    2. Stop and restart wbem.
    # /etc/init.d/init.wbem stop
    # /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
    3. Verify that WBEM is now listening for connections to port 898
    on all interfaces:
    # netstat -an |grep 898
    *.898 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
    In Solaris [TM]10 update 3 (11/06), the startup mechanism for WBEM was changed
    from the legacy (rc script) method to the new Service Management Facility (SMF).
    To allow remote WBEM connections on Solaris 10 update 3 or later:
    # svcadm disable wbem
    # svccfg -s wbem setprop options/tcp_listen=true
