Installing the SMC Client

The SMC Client is that portion of the SEAS software that enables you to bring up the Solaris Management Console for managing the SEAS products from a system other than the server.

The Solaris server and client portions of the SMC are installed when you install SEAS with Web Start. However, you must install the client portion on all the systems, other than the server, from which you want to run the SMC. These systems include Solaris systems and PCs running Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0.

How to Install the SMC Client

1. Launch a Web browser.

2. Point to port 898 on the server on which you installed the SMC server software.

   If you installed the SMC Server software on a network-available machine named wyoming, for example, point to the URL: http://wyoming:898.

   The SMC server site opens with links to the SMC requirements and procedures, including instructions for downloading and installing SMC client software.

3. Read the Installation Requirements.

4. Click Download Procedure to download the software and install the SMC Client software.

   When you have completed the SMC client installation, refer to the Solaris Easy Access Server 3.0 Release Notes to find out if any of the products you have installed have recommended or required patches.
