WBEM - SMC Problem
Hello,
I've an installed Solaris 10.0 x86 platform. In order to run System Management Console, I type;
#smc
...and the System Management Console is runing and "toolbox window" appear. I select "Management Tools" and then something from navigation panel; for example "system information". the root password is asked to me and I enter it. Twice a security related questions displayed and I also click grant button.
At that point an alert displayed on the screen and I can not use SMC. The alert is that;
"System Information is not to able to connect to the server because WBEM server daemon does not appear to be running. If it is running, try stopping and restarting it. After restart the daemon, please also exit and restart the Solaris Management Console."
I am stopping the WBEM daemon and starting it by using following commands.
#/etc/init.d/init.wbem stop
#/etc/init.d/init.wbem start
...the problem keeps existing. I am checking the situation of the daemon by using following command:
#/etc/init.d/init.wbem status
it says me;
Solaris Management Console server version 2.1.0 running on port 898.
How can I run SMC properly? Could you please advise me? I am new at Solaris...
Thanks

Update, I found the old thread about it and am working my way through it. So far I've managed to get SMC to start, but the "users" tool won't open. All the other tools work though...
Here's what I've done so far:
I've removed 119314-11, 119314-09, and 121309-08 (in that order) and did a "/etc/init.d/init.wbem start".
From other people's comments, it looks like I might have also have to a reboot, OR I might have to back out 124189-02 and 124189-01 (and then reboot) in order to finish the job and get my users tool back.

Hello,
1193-09 and 119314-08 hasn't been applied to my system.
In order to remove 119314-11 I typed the following command and got the following result.
#
#
#smpatch remove -i 119314-11
Transition old-style patching.
Cannot find the backout packages for 119314-11
119314-11 cannot be backedout
#
#
I am new at Solaris, Actually I don't know how to remove it. Please advise...
Additionally,
I think my problem is not the same with yours. Because I think you weren't be able to get only users section in smc but I am not be able to get anywhere on smc.

Hello;
As my solaris is my test platform, I removed my solaris and re-installed it yesterday.
After installation was completed, I checked smc firstly before add patches.
But the result was same, negative, same error message, same situation.
Strange...
