Enhancements
All DocuSP – Based Products
Solaris 10
DocuSP 50.xx introduces the new Solaris 10 operating system
for all DocuSP controller platforms. Solaris 10 is an open-
standards based operating system that is the latest state-of-
the-art offering from Sun Microsystems.
Solaris 10 offers performance, security, and compatibility
improvements to the customer’s complex networking
environments. Some existing Solaris applications have been
retired, redesigned, or replaced with more efficient and robust
applications designed to be more user friendly and compatible
with other operating systems.
Solaris Management Console
Solaris 10 has retired several popular GUI applications
commonly used by support personnel. Admintool,
commonly used to add hosts, users, printers, and other
administrative tasks has been replaced by a new more
powerful System Administration utility called Solaris
Management Console, or smc, and a separate Printer
Manager. In addition, a new GUI text editor, dtpad,
has replaced textedit. All other command line utilities
used to perform common administrative tasks are still
available.
SMC provides the following management tools:
♦ System Status tool to manage functions such as System
Information, Performance, and Processes.
♦ System Configuration tool
to manage functions such as
Add Users & Groups, Manage shared services, Storage
and Data Management.
♦ Services tool
to manage shared services such as add
cron jobs to perform tasks.
♦ Storage tool
to manage functions such as Configure
share and mount points, check current disk and volume
configuration and usage.
