How to Start Solstice Host Manager

  1. Verify that the following prerequisites are met. To use Solstice Host Manager, you must have:

    • Solstice AdminSuite installed.

    • A bit-mapped display monitor. The Solstice AdminSuite software can be used only on a system with a console that has a bit-mapped screen such as a standard display monitor that comes with a Sun workstation.

    • If you want to perform administration tasks on a system with an ASCII terminal as the console, use Solaris commands instead.

    • An X Window system installed and running.

    • Superuser (root) privilege or membership in the sysadmin group (group 14) and the required access privileges for managing the NIS or NIS+ database.

      Note -

      If your name service is NIS+, you must be a member of the NIS+ admin group.
