Hi ppl
Hope it's not an RTFM... I recently installed SunMC 3.6.1 from scratch for the first time. Now I'm adding machines on the network to be monitored. However I wonder, why there are no shapes for actual Sun hardware. I mean, nobody is using an SS1 today but there is a shape for it. On the other side, even the v210 or an SF4800 is missing.
Are there any shapes for download?
Rgds,
Dominik

The list of icons a SunMC Server has to represent systems is determined by what hardware addon packages you said "yes" to when you installed it. When you install Agents you only need to install the addons for the hardware the Agent is running on ... but the Server needs to know about all possible systems that may be reporting to it.
When you ran es-inst it asked about some hardware addons such as these:
ELP Config-Reader Monitoring
Desktop
Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange System
Netra
Sun Fire Midrange Systems Domain Administration
Sun Fire High-End Systems Monitoring
Volume System Monitoring
Workgroup Server
Generic X86/X64 Config Reader
For example, your 4800 is part of the Sun Fire Midrange addon.
If you re-run es-inst it will re-prompt you for addons you may have said no to last time. A list of what hardware maps to what addon can be found here:

Hi Mark
Thanks for your reply. Funnily, most of those packages are already installed:
The following products are already completely installed on your system:
Production Environment
Advanced System Monitoring
Service Availability Manager
Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange System
Netra
Performance Reporting Manager
System Reliability Manager
Volume System Monitoring
Workgroup Server
I see that the "Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration" was missing, however, the Netra package was installed. So I still have the problem that not all current Sun systems are representable with a descriptive Icon in SunMC.
Rgds,
Dominik
