How to Troubleshoot the Solaris Management Console
The client and the server are started automatically when you start the Solaris Management Console.
If the console is visible and you are having trouble running the tools, it might be that the server might not be running. Or, the server might be in a problem state that can be resolved by stopping and restarting it.
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Determine whether the console server is running.
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem status
If the console server is running, you should see a message similar the following:
SMC server version 2.1.0 running on port 898.
If the console server is not running, start it.
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
After a short time, you should see a message similar to the following:
SMC server is ready.
If the server is running and you are still having problems, stop the console server. Then, restart it.
