Solaris

Hi there,

I recently discovered the ZFS GUI and wanted to try it out.
The login page works and also the next page. But if I choose "ZFS Administration", the page stays blank and the browser reports an error:

Pictures:


I tested it from my client with "Internet Explorer", but it doesn't work either if I try it directly on the machine with Mozilla. The page stays blank as well, but without the browser error.

I tested the following:

https://<hostname>:6789 (remote)
https://<IP-Adresse>:6789 (remote)
https://<hostname>:6789 (local)
https://<IP-Adresse>:6789 (local)
https://localhost:6789 (local)

I'm on Solaris 10 11/06 (SPARC) and the necessary package SUNWzfsg is already installed.

Code:

# pkginfo | grep SUNWzfsg
application SUNWzfsgr                        ZFS Administration for Sun Java(TM) Web Console (Root)
application SUNWzfsgu                        ZFS Administration for Sun Java(TM) Web Console (usr)

Any ideas?

Only thing in docs.sun.com is to add /zfs to the end of the url.

And if you typed the appropriate URL and can't reach ZFS Admin console, the server may not be started (start with /usr/sbin/smcwebserver start). I didn't find anything on troubleshooting the web interface.

just as an fyi, that smc is really glitchy (from my experience)....so keep that in mind if you will be using it to admin related work.

The smcwebserver is already started. But if I stop and start it again, the following occurs in /var/adm/messages:

Code:

Mar 16 17:58:38 ultra60 java[11595]: [ID 807473 user.error] pkcs11_softtoken: Keystore version failure.

I also verified the JRE versions on SPARC and Windows.
SPARC is JRE 1.5.0_07b03 and Windows 1.4.2_13-b06 - but it doesn't work either.

Copied from Sun Forum:
General Solaris 10 Discussion - Sol10 10/08 ZFS Webconsole dosnt work ?


First, S10u6 has a different security setting when the server communicates to the outside world.

Run this:

# svccfg -s svc:/system/webconsole setprop options/tcp_listen=true; smcwebserver restart

Now log on to the console: https://<server_name>:6789

If you do not see the ZFS Administration GUI showing there, do this:

# wcadmin deploy -a zfs -x zfs /usr/share/webconsole/webapps/zfs ; smcwebserver restart

Now you should be able to see the GUI. Install this patch if you see a JVM crash. This will happen if you have at least one zpool configured in the system. Thus, it also happens to servers that use ZFS as their root file system.

For S10 - SPARC,

#141104-01: SunOS 5.10: ZFS Administration Java Web Console Patch

For S10 - x86,

#141105-01: SunOS 5.10_x86: ZFS Administration Java Web Console Patch


Run "patchadd" to install the patch. Make sure you restart the web console by running "smcwebserver restart".

Why would you use a GUI for zfs?
