This chapter describes Sun Management Center 3.5 domain administration through the domain agent for Sun Fire Midrange Systems.
This chapter contains the following topics.
This is a general procedure. For instructions, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide.

A Config-Reader module, Config-Reader-Sun Fire(3600-6800), is automatically loaded during installation. You can use the Config-Reader module to see the physical view and logical view of your host.
In addition, the Config-Reader module monitors your hardware and alerts you whenever there is a problem. For example, this module checks for dual inline memory module (DIMM) errors.
The Config-Reader icon is located under the Hardware icon in the Details window (see FIGURE 4-3).
1. In the Sun Management Center console, double-click a Sun Fire midrange system icon.
The Details window is displayed (FIGURE 4-1).
2. Double-click the Hardware icon in the Details window.
The Config-Reader-Sun Fire Midrange Systems and the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Rules icons are displayed (FIGURE 4-2).
3. You can now choose either to:
To see the properties and values that are available, see Accessing Tables in the Domain Config-Reader Module. For a list of failures that trigger Config Reader alarms, see Sun Fire Midrange Systems Rules.
If the icon for the Config-Reader-Sun Fire Midrange Systems module or the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Rules module is not displayed in the Module Browser tab of the Details window for your Sun Fire Midrange Systems, the corresponding module is not loaded. In that case, you can manually load one or both modules, as shown below.
1. In the Sun Management Center console, double-click the Sun Fire midrange system icon.
The Details window is displayed (FIGURE 4-1).
2. Click the Module Manager tab in the Details window.
The Module Manager data is displayed (FIGURE 4-5).
3. Select Config-Reader-Sun Fire Midrange Systems or Sun Fire Midrange Systems Rules in the Available Modules list, then click Load.
The Module Loader pop-up window is displayed.
4. Click OK in the Module Loader pop-up window.
If you have sufficient access privileges, the pop-up window closes, and the module moves into the Modules with Load Status list.
If you do not have sufficient access privileges, the pop-up window displays an error message. See Assigning Users to Groups for information about access privileges.
This section includes the Config-Reader module data property tables:
The following tables describe the data properties contained in each of the domain Config-Reader tables. When selected, the Config-Reader data property tables are displayed in the Module Browser tab of the Details window. For more information, refer to Chapter 7, "Browsing Information About a Managed Object," in the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide.
1. Be sure you have set up trap hosts on your platform and domains. The trap host is the host name of your Sun Management Center server from which you perform platform administration. See Setting Up SNMP on the System Controller for more information.
2. Refresh the System Table (see TABLE 4-1) to refresh all the tables in the Domain Config-Reader module.
