SunMC was originally called "SyMon" which is why you'll sometimes see references to SyMon. SunMC is designed to be client/server with many clients. It is not designed to work on a single machine. IMHO, this is a big mistake, which I complained about 10 years ago, to no avail. I'm over it now, it is what it is. It also has some very cool features, so while it isn't very good for my laptop, it works well for a collection of machines or a data center.
Java Web Console is the latest incarnation of system management interfaces. It is a BUI, which is cool. The two important system management modules which are currently available are Solaris Cluster and ZFS. Solaris Management Console (SMC) was an older, GUI attempt to unify systems management. It is dead, but the body hasn't been buried, yet. Many of the things SMC could do are now done in the collection of other tools hanging out in your Launch->Administration menu. -- richard
