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.

Solaris Management Console hung up - not responding.

When I select User Accounts in SMC the console is hung up - it just displays the watch pointer . The SMC server gives a status that it is running.
Ideas anyone?

As suggested, what were you doing when it hung ? When it happened to me it was after a fresh install then the cluster patch. After the cluster the advanced area of disc admin to my fiber channel arrays went off into lala land. Was just starting to getinto the 'why' when the customer wanted to go to 10.. it was on a 280R with a qlogic fc card to a couple of A1000 array's, never did find out why.

Patch 121308-12 breaks solaris management console

Dear Moderator,
Hope not asking too much.
Could you notify your counterparts that patch 121308-12 breaks Solaris Management Console?
SMC doesn't load the tool box after patch 121308-12 is applied. I backed out the patch and SMC works fine. Patch 121308-11 is fine.
I had to remove the patch from 50+ servers.
I am running Solaris 10 update 3 on my servers.
What I really want is a version 13 of the patch 121308 that obsoletes version 12. This way, I don't have to worry about this anymore everytime sunUC patches my servers.

Toolbox in Solaris management console

I installed Solaris management console 2.0 and when I try to open it, it asks me for a toolbox. What kind of file is a toolbox? Could anybody tell me how can i install a toolbox?
Thanks

For some reason it was able to run once by running the command
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
But no matter what I do, I can't get it to work one lick with
# svcadm enable wbem
Any ideas guys?

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 10u6 fresh install - can't get Solaris Management Console working

Hey guys,
I have been searching all over but can't seem to find any help on getting SMC working. I have a fresh install of Solaris 10u6 on a Sun Fire V20z.
So I login via ssh to the solaris machine ("unknown"), and It looks like wbem is online:
root@unknown:/# svcs wbem
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         16:37:50 svc:/application/management/wbem:default
root@unknown:/# And netstat shows that my machine is listening on port 898
root@unknown:/# netstat -an|grep 898
127.0.0.1.898              *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN
root@unknown:/# The problem is
1)
When I try to do anything in the smc launched with as
smt -toption for terminal mode, I always end up getting the message:
There is no Solaris Management Console Server running on localhost.2)
If I login from my laptop with X11 forwarding on, and launch the graphical interface, it does come up with the main window that says "Solaris Management Console 2.1" and the "Open Toolbox" window. However, in the Open Toolbox window it says "Server Not Running"
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, since svcs says that wbem is running... I'm pretty new to Solaris, working hard to get up to speed, so I'd really appreciate any help you guys could offer.
Thanks,
Jamie

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 9, Solaris Management Console ISSUE

Solaris 9, Solaris Management Console ISSUE
I have Solaris 9 installed and I am unable to use the Solaris Management console.
I have managed to start it:
/etc/init.d/init.wbem start
/etc/init.d/init.wbem status -> shows it's running
But if I try browser with the link http:// host:898, I have got the following error:

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.

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.

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.
