Solaris 10 X86
Ok here goes, this MCSE is now fed up with MS, they are telling me that my Legal XP has a s/num they didnt issue.
After countless emails I am P with them and am loooking for a new OS.
Tried Linux, got it working but seems too flaky for me.
Have installed Solaris 10 X86 (on a temp pc AMD Athlon 1.3 GHZ ) but I am wondering if its small 16mB video card may not be enough for X Windows.
Two things, my Internet connection is on a Windows PC with Inet sharing set up. The Linus PC worked just fine but cant get the Solaris to work.
I suspect it is because I have not got a default gateway set up.
HOW do I reconfigure the O/S to set one up.
Also on logging in from the console X will not start, I have been able to start it by going into the X11 directory and typing (GRM) I think.
I have run the setup program and all seems fine, also you get to see the colours OK.
Sorry to be a bit vague but I have limited experience with Unix type systems.
Thanks
Mike

I know that Sun make s a version of Solaris for Sparc platforms and also an x86 (Intel/AMD) release of Solaris. Can an application that runs on Solaris/Sparc also run on a PC running the x86 release of Solaris? Would a different release be required or any re-compling of the application?

init.wbem
init.wbem(1M) System Administration Commands init.wbem(1M)
NAME
init.wbem - start and stop the CIM Boot Manager
SYNOPSIS
/etc/init.d/init.wbem start | stop | status
DESCRIPTION
The init.wbem utility is run automatically during installation and each time the system is rebooted. This utility manipulates the CIM
Object Manager (CIMOM) and the Solaris Management Console server, both of which run combined in a single process. init.wbem can be used to
start, stop, or retrieve status from the server.
CIM Object Manager
The CIM Object Manager manages CIM objects on a WBEM-enabled system. A CIM object is a computer representation, or model, of a managed
resource, such as a printer, disk drive, or CPU. CIM objects are stored internally as Java classes.
When a WBEM client application accesses information about a CIM object, the CIM Object Manager contacts either the appropriate provider for
that object or the CIM Object Manager Repository. Providers are classes that communicate with managed objects to access data.
When a WBEM client application requests data from a managed resource that is not available from the CIM Object Manager Repository, the CIM
Object Manager forwards the request to the provider for that managed resource. The provider dynamically retrieves the information.
At startup, the CIM Object Manager performs the following functions:
o Listens for RMI connections on RMI port 5987 and for XML/HTTP connections on HTTP port 5988.
o Sets up a connection to the CIM Object Manager Repository.
o Waits for incoming requests.
During normal operations, the CIM Object Manager performs the following functions:
o Performs security checks to authenticate user login and authorization to access namespaces.
o Performs syntactical and semantic checking of CIM data operations to ensure that they comply with the latest CIM Specification.
o Routes requests to the appropriate provider or to the CIM Object Manager Repository.
o Delivers data from providers and from the CIM Object Manager Repository to WBEM client applications.
A WBEM client application contacts the CIM Object Manager to establish a connection when it needs to perform WBEM operations, such as cre-
ating a CIM class or updating a CIM instance. When a WBEM client application connects to a CIM Object Manager, it gets a reference to the
CIM Object Manager, which it then uses to request services and operations.
Solaris Management Console Server
The Solaris Management Console server is the back end to the front end console, smc(1M). It provides tools for the console to download and
performs common services for the console and its tools to use, such as authentication, authorization, logging, messaging, and persistence.
System Booting
The init.wbem script is installed in the /etc/init.d directory.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
start Starts the CIMOM and Solaris Management Console server on the local host.
stop Stops the CIMOM and Solaris Management Console server on the local host.
status Gets the status of the CIMOM and Solaris Management Console server on the local host.
NOTES
When the init.wbem script is run, it does not run the CIMOM and Solaris Management Console server directly. The server process is in Java
and is too heavyweight to be run immediately at system boot time. Instead, three lightweight processes listen on three different ports that
the CIMOM and the Solaris Management Console server normally use. This acts similarly to inetd(1M).
Because Java programs cannot inherit file descriptors as other programs can, there is a small time period from when the first connection is
made until the server is fully operational where client connections may be dropped. WBEM clients are immune to this, as they will retry
until the server comes online. Solaris Management Console clients are not immune, and it may be necessary to manually reconnect, though
this should not happen in the common case.
