The Solaris Management Console (SMC) has three primary components:
The Console
The SMC Toolbox Editor
The SMC server
The Console can be started from the command line (described in the following), from the Tools menu of the CDE front panel, or by double-clicking an SMC icon in Applications Manager or File Manager.
From/usr/sadm/bin (by default), type:
% smc |
You can start SMC as a normal user, but some tools or applications might not load unless you log in as root, or you assume a role during SMC server login.
From /usr/sadm/bin (by default), type:
% smc edit |
You can start the SMC Editor as a normal user, but you will not be able to save a server toolbox unless you log in as root.
If you have trouble running SMC, it might be that the SMC server is not running or is somehow in a problem state. To determine if the SMC server is running, do the following:
As root, type:
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem status |
If the SMC server is running, you should get a response like the following:
SMC server version 2.0.0 running on port 898 |
As root, type:
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem start |
After a short time a message should return: "SMC server started."
