Network Port Configuration

Sun Management Center software requires network ports to communicate with various components of the system. The default port addresses for these components are listed in TABLE 2-2:

In some cases, this default port configuration conflicts with software already running on your system. Some Sun Fire 15K/12K domains might have port 161 conflicts because of the presence of legacy SMNP agents. During the Sun Management Center software setup, specify an alternate network port to avoid this conflict. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for further information about solving port conflicts.

To create and access topology objects, the Sun Management Center agent layer software uses port 161 by default. If you configure an agent to use an alternate port, you must specify that port when the topology object is created or discovered. To simplify your Sun Management Center network configuration and management and enable more efficient discovery of Sun Management Center agents, select an alternate port number and use that number for all agent installations that cannot use the default port configuration.

The Sun Fire 15K/12K system controller has two Sun Management Center agents: the agent and the platform agent. The agent provides information about the system controller and the platform agent provides information about the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems. Usually there are no port conflicts with the default port configuration for the platform agent. When a platform topology object is created or discovered, the correct default port is provided and does not need to be specified.

Updating Multiple Hosts Using Agent Update

This section describes how to update multiple hosts at once using Agent Update. The Agent Update process itself must be run on the Sun Management Center server machine. You also need to ensure that Sun Management Center 3.5 agents are running on all the target hosts.

Before You Start the Agent Update Process

To use Agent Update to fully install and set up the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform agent modules, you must create an Agent Update configuration file for the module on the target hosts, before you run the Agent Update Process on the Sun Management Center server machine.



Note - Be sure you click Store Response Data during the Sun Management Center 3.5 base software setup process if you want to use the setup-responses-file to duplicate the setup on the current machine on other machines. That way all of your responses will be stored in /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/setup-responses-file. For more information, refer to "Setting Up Base Products and Add-ons on the Solaris Platform" in the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.




procedure icon  To Create the Agent Update Configuration File on the Target Hosts

1. Ensure the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform agent modules are installed on the target hosts.

2. Ensure that the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform agent modules are set up on the target hosts using either the es-setup script or the es-guisetup Wizard.

After this has been done, subsequent platform agent setup operations using Agent Update will work automatically, using the host-specific information provided initially.

Using the Agent Update Process

Using the Agent Update process, create an Image File of the add-on components to be distributed to the target machines, and then add a New Job to Manage Jobs Task list to be run when you specify.

Supported Update Configurations

Using Agent Update you can update the following configurations:


procedure icon  To Update From Sun Management Center 3.5 Add-on Software

This procedure applies only to updating from Sun Management Center 3.5 add-on software.

Note - Before you select objects (agent machines) where you want the Image File, you can create a group object containing all your agent machines. That way you do not have to select one agent machine at a time. Refer to Chapter 3, "To Create a Group," in the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide for more information about creating object groups.



d. Do one of the following to select the objects (agent machines) to which you want to distribute the Image File.

e. Preview the objects (agent machines) you have selected and redo your selections if necessary.

f. Click the Add Job button.

The job starts and distributes the Image File to the objects (agent machines) you selected. When the job is running, it appears in the Job list of the Manage Jobs panel. The panel shows the status of the job when running and when complete.



Note - When updating multiple hosts, any failure of a host results in a Failed status even though the majority of the hosts might have been updated successfully. Click on View Log to the right of the Jobs list on the Manage Jobs panel to see an individual list of the updates that succeeded and the updates that failed. If the Agent Update process did succeed, the Sun Management Center agents should restart automatically. You can open a host Details window on the Sun Management center console to each of the targeted hosts, and verify that the expected modules are present and working.




procedure icon  To Update From No Add-on Software or Sun Management Center 3.0 Platform Update 4 Add-on Software

This procedure applies to either:

1. Log in as root on the Sun Management Center server machine.

2. Create an agent-update image using either of the image tools.

3. Download the file /opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/agent-update.bin to each target machine's root directory.

If you installed Sun Management Center in a different directory than /opt, download /installdir/SUNWsymon/base/bin/agent-update.bin, where installdir is the install directory you specified.

4. Log in as root on the target machine.

5. Go to the directory where you downloaded agent-update.bin.

6. Type ./agent-update.bin -s server -r http-port -p image-name, where

7. Provide the security seed and the SNMPv1 community string.

The agent-update process prompts you for the security seed and the SNMPv1 community string.

The update process applies the update to the machine without prompting for further information.

When the update process completes, check the update status by viewing the log file /var/opt/SUNWsymon/log/agent-update.log on the server host.



Note - You need to re-run ./es-setup -F to set up the platform agent.

Starting Sun Management Center Software Using the CLI

The es-start command requires different command arguments, depending on which component you are starting. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for a list of the options for es-start. The -h option for es-start also lists all the options. The following procedure describes some common es-start options.


procedure icon  To Start Sun Management Center Software

1. Log in as superuser on the machine where the components are to be started (see TABLE 2-4 for the location of the components).

2. Change the directory to the /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin directory.

This example assumes that your software in the default area /opt. If not, replace /opt with your own path.

# cd /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin

On the system controller, start the Sun Management Center agents.

# ./es-start -al

This command starts the base and platform agents. The platform agent provides all the Sun Fire 15K/12K system information to Sun Management Center software.

3. To start the Sun Management Center agent on a Sun Fire 15K/12K domain with only the Sun Management Center agent layer installed, type:

# ./es-start -a

4. To start all the Sun Management Center components on the Sun Management Center server host with all layers installed, type:

# ./es-start -A



Note - Upon rebooting, all Sun Management Center agents start automatically.



5. To start the console, type:

# ./es-start -c



Note - To start the console, you can also be logged in as your own user ID; you do not have to be logged in as superuser. However, to access the Platform or Domain Config Reader, you must be in the appropriate security access groups. See Security Considerations for Defining Groups.




Stopping and Exiting Sun Management Center Software Using the CLI

This section describes stopping and exiting Sun Management Center software.


procedure icon  To Stop Server and Agents

The es-stop command requires different command arguments depending on which component you are stopping. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for a list of the es-stop options. The -h option for es-stop also lists all the options. The following procedure describes some common es-stop options.

1. Log in as superuser on the machine where the components are to be stopped (see TABLE 2-4 for the location of the components).

2. Change the directory to the /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin directory.

This example assumes that your software is in the default area /opt. If not, replace /opt with your own path.

# cd /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin

3. To stop the server and agent components on the server machine, type:

# ./es-stop -Sa

4. To stop the domain agent components on the host machine for a domain, type:

# ./es-stop -a

5. On the system controller, to stop the host agent, which monitors the SC and platform agent, type:

# ./es-stop -al


procedure icon  To Exit Console

1. From the menu bar on the main console window, select File and Exit.

2. Click the Exit button on the Exit Sun Management Center panel.


Reconfiguring Sun Fire 15K/12K Setup Parameters

You can reconfigure the Sun Fire 15K/12K setup parameters at any time by running the setup script (es-setup) again. You must reconfigure the appropriate Sun Fire 15K/12K setup parameters if certain changes occur, including:

For information about where these components are located, see TABLE 2-4.



Note - You do not need to rerun setup after System Management Services (SMS) software is reinstalled; however, you do need to restart the Sun Management Center software. If you restart the Sun Management Center software before the SMS software starts, you might see a gray stop sign that states "status is spare," or if the SC monitoring module is loaded, you might see the message "Module is on the spare SC or required SMW daemon(s) is stopped." These messages disappear once the SMS software starts. No action is required.




procedure icon  To Rerun Setup Script

1. Log in as superuser on the machine where the components are that you want to reconfigure (see TABLE 2-4 for the location of the components).

2. Change the directory to the /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin directory.

This example assumes that you are using the default area /opt. If not, replace /opt with your own path.

# cd /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin

3. Stop the components to be reconfigured.

The command you use to stop the component depends on which component you are reconfiguring.

4. Run the setup script to reconfigure Sun Management Center 3.5 base and add-on software.

# ./es-setup -F

For information about using other arguments for the es-setup command, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

5. Follow the instructions in the setup procedures for the corresponding components with these two additional prompts.



Note - If you answer y for yes, the system preserves any data in the database, including open and closed alarms, loaded modules and their configurations, discoveries, managed objects, and rule thresholds.



a. Type y to keep any existing topology and event data; or type n to discard the data.

a. Type y for yes if this is your Sun Management Center server, or type n for no if not. If you type n, you are prompted to type your correct server host name.

6. Restart the components that you stopped.


Sun Management Center Web Interface

The Sun Management Center Web Interface is an optional, licensed Sun Management Center feature that provides most of the functionality available in the Sun Management Center Java-based Console. For a detailed description of the Sun Management Center Web Interface, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide.



Note - Be aware that the Web Interface provides no physical or logical views of the Sun Fire 15K/12K system. See Chapter 5 in this document for more information about physical and logical views.




Installation and Setup Log Files

This section provides examples of messages the system displays at the end of the installation and setup scripts. You can look at these files to see if there were any problems during installation and setup, and you can use these files for diagnosing errors.

This example shows a message when an installation script completes, where nnnnnnnnnnnn.nnnnn is the identifying number of the installation log.

Log file: /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/install.nnnnnnnnnnnn.nnnnn

This example shows a message when a setup script completes, where nnnnnnnnnnnn.nnnn is the identifying number of the setup log.

Log file: /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/setup.nnnnnnnnnnnn.nnnn
