Solaris 8 Admin Pack Installation Guide

Starting the Solaris Management Console

The Solaris Management Console (SMC) is the environment where you can configure, manage, and start the Admin Pack products.

How to Start the Solaris Management Console
  1. In the Sys_Admin folder, located in the Applications Manager window, click the Solaris Management Console icon.


    Note -

    To run the SMC application you must have SMC client software installed on your machine. Any machine you want to manage with SMC must also have the SMC server software installed.


  2. If necessary, replace the current server name with the name of another server.

  3. Type your user name and press Tab or Return.

    If you start an application from the SMC that requires root or administrator's password, you will be prompted to enter it.

  4. Type your password and press Return or click Login.

    The SMC window opens.
