Working with Solaris Management Console
From Initq
Run SMC remotely
We like to do our work remotely so here is an explanation on how to perform that. First find out the ip address of your solaris box.
-bash-3.00$ /sbin/ifconfig -a lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 rge0: flags=1004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 rtls0: flags=1004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3 inet 192.168.1.4 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
Now when we go to our remote machine (192.168.1.20) and we ssh into our solaris box, but before we allow X clients to connect.
[lexiana@initq ~]$ xhost + access control disabled, clients can connect from any host [lexiana@initq ~]$ ssh -X 192.168.1.2 -l lexiana Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.2' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
