nothing shown in "Hardware" of the module browser
Hi all,
I have installed the Sun MC server (base only) and agent on an E420R server. However, nothing is shown in "Hardware" of the module browser in Sun MC console. I have already installed these add-on products:
ELP Config-Reader Monitoring
Workgroup Server
which are supposingly the config reader for E420R, right?
Have I missed anything?
Regards,
Kelvin

I assume you are using the current 3.5.1a distribution.
If your OPB banner and `uname -i` do not match, Sun MC will not detect the correct hardware.Check your 'Entity Family' in the 'Info' tab of the host details view to determine what SunMC is detecting.
If this entity family and your uname -i differ, you will need to modify the banner to match your hardware and re-run es-inst.
"/usr/platfrom/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag | head -1"
The banner name for your system shoud be "Sun Enterprise 420R".
The "eeprom" command in the same sbin location can be used to change the banner.
I recently fixed a bunch of Blade 2000's that had incorrect banners this way.
This information, and details on the 420R specifically, are available in the FAQ:

Hi iMac / all,
I can now see the "Config Reader (Workgroup Server)" under Hardware.
I have a further query. I have seen a demo that Sun MC console can show the physical view of the box such as the CPU, mainboard, add-on cards, etc. Yet I have browsed through all items but can't locate it ... please kindly advise. Thanks!
Cheers,
Kelvin

The Physical Views are available in the "Views" pulldown of the "Hardware" tab. If there are still some problems, they will be there.. but Greyed-out. If they are greyed out, I would check to ensure you have the packages mentioned in the previous link I sent you.iMac
