First i should mention that i am also very much an opensolaris newb, and have been playing around with opensolaris for my new home NAS.
Second i seem to have managed to get webconsole and zfs administration application installed, however zfs administration app is not working. When i start zfs admin i get a blank page ( seems to be a common problem, but i have not seen any solution ). NOTE: If you want you can try installing these packages i mention below from Solaris Express Community Edition ( SXCE ) DVD instead of Solaris 10 dvd. Some people seem to indicate that the problem with blank page at zfs admin doesn't happen with packages from SXCE dvd. I have not tried it myself yet, but the same method as i describe below should work for SXCE dvd as well. And here are the steps i took to get webconsole and zfs admin tool intsalled. I got a solaris 10 dvd ( from here: http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp ) If you want to try SXCE you can get it from http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/ Then from console i do the following: cd /media/SOL_10_1008_X86/Solaris_10/Product/ pfexec pkgadd -d . <package name> Where package name are the following ( i did them one by one ) SUNWmctag - Java Web Console UI Tag library SUNWmcon - Java Web Console SUNWmcos - Common Solaris services for Java Web Console SUNWmcosx - Solaris release-specific services for Java Web Console SUNWmconr - Java Web Console Root SUNWjato - Sun One Application Framework runtime SUNWtcatu - Tomcat When you run the above command it will most likely give you a warning about some packages it depends on not being installed. When that happened i Ctrl-C the command and install the package it was giving me warnings about first. Once you install all that you should be able to start the webconsole by running pfexec smcwebserver start To install zfs admin aplication you will have to install packages SUNWzfsgu and SUNWzfsgr, using the same command as above. Hope this helps and you have more luck with zfs admin. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
