When you remotely display the Solaris Management Console on the Solaris 8 7/01, or 2/02 operating environment, opening a dialog box in the console causes the console, including the open dialog box, to hang.

1. Close the hung console window.

2. Start the Solaris Management Console on your local system.

3. Select Open Toolbox from the console menu.

4. Click the Server Toolbox tab and select, or enter, the name of the remote system you want to manage.

5. Click the Open button.

You can now use the console to manage the remote system.
