Connecting to a Host System

When using batool to configure a system running Solaris Bandwidth Manager, you need to connect to the host running the Solaris Bandwidth Manager software. This applies even if the Solaris Bandwidth Manager software is installed on the local system.

To connect to the system where Solaris Bandwidth Manager is installed, select Connect from the Connection menu. The connection dialog box is displayed. Specify:

• The name of the server hosting the Solaris Bandwidth Manager software.

• The username for the server. This is the username set when the Solaris Bandwidth Manager software was installed. It is defined in the file /etc/opt/SUNWconn/ba/agent.properties.

• The password for the server. This is the password set when the Solaris Bandwidth Manager software was installed. It is defined in the file /etc/opt/SUNWconn/ba/agent.properties. You can change the password using the Change Password option of the Connection menu.

If your username and password are valid, the Overview window is displayed.

If you log in withoug specifying a username or password, you have read-only access to the configuration information.
