Starting X on Solaris 11?

Hi friends,
Hope everyone is fine and doing well. I have just installed Solaris 11, and everytime I boot my machine, I face the command prompt. Could you please tell me how I can setup the graphical environment, like gnome kde etc.???
Thanks in advance!

See post #3

If it doesn't start, post
Code:
svcs -xv gdm

and
Code:
svcs -d gdm
