How to Add a Legacy Tool to a Toolbox

A legacy tool is any application that was not designed specifically as a Solaris management tool. You can add three types of legacy tool applications, X applications, command-line interface, and HTML, to a console toolbox. Each tool you add to a toolbox can then be launched from the Solaris Management Console.

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

  2. Start the Solaris Management Console Toolbox Editor, if necessary.


    # /usr/sadm/bin/smc edit &
    

  3. Open the toolbox to which you want to add the legacy application.

    The toolbox selected is opened in the Toolbox Editor.

  4. Select the node in the toolbox to which you want to add the legacy application.

    A legacy application can be added to the top node of a toolbox or to another folder.

  5. Click Action->Add Legacy Application.

    The first panel of the Legacy Application Wizard: General is displayed.

  6. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

  7. Save the toolbox in the Editor.
