SMC exit on error at beginning of install on x86 snv_64a
Hi,
I will be happy if someone can help me.
Any suggestion are welcome.
I try to install smc agent on a x86. On sparc S10 i have no problem.

I'm having the same problem! I've found that, in the "es-common.sh" script, this error is related to the fact that the install process is looking for this directory presence:
/opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/i386-sun-solaris2.10
It is there on the system, so it could be OK... ...now I just wonder if it could be because we run under Nevada (build #64), which should be Solaris 11 (2.11), and not 2.10...
I'll try to make a symlink, or something like that, and see if it brings me further on the install, and I'll post my result here.

I think you should be able to get it working.
Before SunMC officially supported Solaris 10 we were able to install the Solaris 9 version with about a half-dozen symlinks, and it worked fine. I don't have the script in front of me, but it required 2-3 symlinks into the disk1/disk2 install for es-inst to work.... then after it finished you needed 2-3 more symlinks under /opt/SUNWsymon for es-setup to run.
