To Set Up Remote SMC Login to a Headless System

For this procedure to work, one of the following systems must be available:

• A Solaris desktop system that is running the Solaris 8 4/01 release and can run the SMC 2.0 client process

  ---

  Note -

  An End User installation does not include the SMC server software.

  ---

• A Windows client that is running the Solaris 8 4/01 release and can run the SMC 2.0 client process

1. After installation, boot the headless system into single-user mode.

2. Add the Solaris 8 4/01 desktop machine with the SMC version 2.0 running on it, to the headless system's /etc/hosts file.

   For example,

   192.168.168.77 soldesktop77

3. On the Windows client or Solaris desktop system, add the headless system's address to the c:\windows\system\hosts or /etc/hosts file, respectively.

   For example,

   192.168.168.111 headless1

4. Modify the /usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin/smcwbemserver file on the headless system to include the -u option.

   Follow the procedure, "To Enable Remote Role Assumption From Untrusted Systems" under "Managing Roles (Tasks)" in Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures, then return here.

5. On the headless system, exit single-user mode and let the system complete the boot process.

6. On the Windows client or Solaris desktop system, start the SMC server process.

   # smc &

7. In the SMC Console menu, select the Preferences dialog box.

8. Click the Authentication tab, and click Enable advanced login, then OK.

9. Open the Files toolbox of the headless system, and log in specifying the install user and the root role. Provide passwords for both.

10. Bring up a Terminal or the Application Manager window from the Legacy tools set in the Navigation Pane.

11. Configure the headless system.
