SunMC console

How can you reinstall or remove the console component w/o wiping the entire sunmc install? Or maybe even trick either the es-install/guiinst to think its not installed so it can be reinstalled? I've tried to research this on the web and have not been able to find much. I've ran the es-inst, es-uninst, guiinst, and guiuninst and do not see any options for re-install or removal. I am currently attempting to go through the install script to try and find out what is actually querying so that it knows that the console is installed. My console install on our master server seems to only be a partially there and is not working. I'm not sure what happened, but ./es-start -c complained of es-console.sh was missing. Upon further investigation I noticed the entire /opt/SUNWsymon/classes/base/console/bin directory had not been created.

Have you re-run es-inst, or just executed it to look for a re-inst option?You can re-run es-inst, and if there are missing packages, it may install them.

Now, assuming this doesn't fix your problem, and you want to figure out what you need, on my Sol10 3.5.1a system, I have the following (note the package category for Sun MC is symon, its ancestor):

bash-3.00# pkginfo -c symon | grep -i console

systemSUNWenesfSun Management Center Console properties

systemSUNWesascSun Management Center Advanced Services Console

systemSUNWescamSun Management Center Advanced System Monitoring Console components

systemSUNWescdvSun Management Center Console Dataview

systemSUNWescesService Availability Manager add-on for Sun Management Center Console

systemSUNWesconSun Management Center Console

systemSUNWescrgSun Management Center PRM console package

systemSUNWesmc Sun Management Center MCP Console

systemSUNWeswebSun Management Center Web Console

systemSUNWhdrmiHardware Diagnostic Suite Console

systemSUNWlgsmcSun Management Center Web Console Authorization plugin

systemSUNWsuconSun Management Center Dynamic Agent Update Console Components

Maybe you are missing somthing? If this is non-production, you can always do an es-backup, export your Topology,es-uninst , es-inst , es-restore and import your topology, and save any other custom scripts along the way.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I had re-ran the es-inst to no avail. It exited since I didnt have anything to install selected. I had even went ahead and installed an add-on just to see, but that hadnt worked either. However, I will check against your list to see what I have. I think that may be my best bet at this point....and yes, this is production :(, but on the other hand if it comes to that I can prob blow it away and restore if I had too. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it

That worked. I was missing a number of packages and was able to get most of them installed. I'm still missing about 4 because it complains about a copyright file that is listed in the pkgmap, but the console is starting now. Thanks a lot for your help.

Great. If you do require a complete package list, follow up with an email, and I'll fire off the whole list rather than plug up the forum with text.cheers,iMacian.macdonald@halcyoninc.com
