Sun Cluster 3.1 System Administration Guide

How to Launch SunPlex Manager

Follow this procedure to start SunPlex Manager on your cluster.

  1. Do you intend to access SunPlex Manager by using the cluster node root user name and password rather than set up a different user name and password?

    • If yes, go to Step 5.

    • If no, go to Step 3 to set up SunPlex Manager user accounts.

  2. Become superuser on a cluster node.

  3. Create a user account to access the cluster through SunPlex Manager.

    Follow the procedure in How to Create a New User Account With RBAC Authorization.

    You must set up at least one user account to access SunPlex Manager if you do not use the root system account. SunPlex Manager user accounts are used only by SunPlex Manager. They do not correspond to any Solaris system user accounts.


    1. Note –

      Users who do not have a user account set up on a particular node cannot access the cluster through SunPlex Manager from that node, nor can users manage that node through another cluster node to which the users do have access.


  4. (Optional) Repeat Step 3 to set up additional user accounts.

  5. From the administrative console or any other machine outside the cluster, launch a browser.

  6. Disable the browser's Web proxy.

    SunPlex Manager functionality is incompatible with Web proxies.

  7. Ensure that the browser's disk and memory cache sizes are set to greater than 0.

  8. From the browser, connect to the SunPlex Manager port on one node of the cluster.

    The default port number is 3000.
