This section contains general notes and issues that involve SMS on Sun Fire high-end systems.
smsconnectsc is intended to be used in the event a remote SC hangs and cannot be accessed normally through login. Using smsconnectsc to create a remote console session from the local SC can result in the local SC losing monitoring capability and functionality. Do not use smsconnectsc except for the express purpose of system recovery.
You can use the smsversion script to switch to any version of SMS that is still installed on your system, with these exceptions:
This switching of SMS versions only applies if you have the same Solaris OS version running. The version switching does not apply if you have upgraded the Solaris OS version. Refer to previous versions of SMS Installation Guides for installation instructions prior to SMS 1.6.
For more information about version switching and its relationship to the Solaris OS, refer to the System Management Services (SMS) 1.6 Installation Guide.
Before installing the SMS 1.6 packages, make sure that you have serial or console access to the SC or have ssh available on the SC. After you install SMS 1.6 and reboot the SC, the hardening performed by the smsinstall script disables remote access. This hardening takes place due to the secure by default feature in SMS 1.6. If you do not have ssh available on your system, you will not have access to the SC except by using the console cable.
