SPARC: Solaris Management Console Applications Dependent on Managed Object Format (MOF) Files Might Fail After Upgrade (4825349)

If you upgrade from the Solaris 9 operating environment to the Solaris 9 9/02, Solaris 9 12/02, or Solaris 9 4/03 release, the upgrade does not reregister existing Managed Object Format (MOF) files. During the upgrade, the old /var/sadm/wbem/logr directory is saved as the /var/sadm/wbem/logru3 directory. The registered MOF files are not reregistered after the upgrade. As a result, Solaris Management Console applications that depend on MOF files will fail.

The following error message is displayed when you use the console Mounts and Disks tools:

CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND

Workaround: Manually register the missing MOF files. The MOF files are available in the /var/sadm/wbem/logru3 directory. Complete the following steps:

1. Become superuser.

2. Manually register the MOF files.

   # /usr/sadm/bin/mofreg -r tag mof-file

   where tag is the directory located in the /var/sadm/wbem/logru3/unregDir/ directory and mof–file is the MOF file located in the tag directory.

   For example:

   # /usr/sadm/bin/mofreg -r svm \ /var/sadm/wbem/logru3/unregDir/svm/svm/Solaris_Vm1.0.mof

3. Stop the WBEM server.

   # /etc/init.d/init.wbem stop

4. Restart the WBEM server.

   # /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
