Could not start Agent on a Solaris 5.10u2 x86 machine

Hi,

I installed SunMC 3.6.1 on a Solaris 5.10u2 x86 machine. Only Agent

and Concole are installed.

There's no error during installation and setup, but the agent could not be started.

# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -a

Could not start Agent.

After running svcs -x, I could see:

# svcs -x

svc:/application/management/sunmcagent:default has no "restarter" property group; ignoring.

svc:/application/management/sunmcplatform:default has no "restarter" property group; ignoring.

svc:/application/print/server:default (LP print server)

State: disabled since Mon Aug 21 10:41:38 2006

Reason: Disabled by an administrator.

See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05

See: lpsched(1M)

Impact: 2 dependent services are not running. (Use -v for list.)

# svcs -v

.......

.......

offline- Aug_21- svc:/application/print/ipp-listener:default

offline- Aug_21- svc:/application/print/rfc1179:default

- -- svc:/application/management/sunmcagent:default

How to solve this problem? Any help is appreciated.

Hi Hal, :)

> Could not start Agent.

I've seen this before too. "svcadm enable/disable sunmcagent" didn't fix things. But for some reason if I started the agent interactively (es-start -ai) it worked... and I let the Agent load a few modules and verified it worked in the Console. Then once I quit out of interactive mode (thereby stopping the Agent) svcadm enable/disable and es-start/stop worked correctly again.

I had that happen to me 2-3 times now, and every time mucking about in interactive mode a bit fixed it. It must reset something in svcs.
