Has anyone else experienced the failure of Management console after an
update?

smc failes to connect to server because the service is not running.

svcs -xv tells me that
svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default (Sun Solstice Enterprise
Master Agent)
State: offline since Tue Feb 13 22:23:29 2007
Reason: Dependency svc:/application/management/seaport is absent.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-E2
See: man -M /usr/share/man/ -s 1M snmpdx
Impact: This service is not running.

this is because seaport is missing/absent

Anyway, I have 3 Solaris 10 boxes here and all 3 fail in this way.
Each box is patched using the update manager & is up to date.
I did not notice when they failed or after what patch, I've not used
it for ages.

The sun link doesn't say much apart from get the dependancy running.

Have I missed something?

Many thanks Mark

Did you install 120272-05 (SPARC) or 120273-06 (x86)? If so, then
that's the problem -- CR 6441943. Install the next rev, and the
problem should go away.

Thanks for that James, seems to require a support contract though.

If it does, then that is very anoying.
