Solaris 10 Web Console

Post by cah »

I have seen several java processes owned by "noaccess" user on Solaris 10 servers.

These processes are for Sun Java Web Console. They each take between 60 MB and 90 MB.

I found out each non-global zone also has a web console running.
When there are more non-global zones, these web consoles can eat up a lot of memory.
It hurts a server with limited memory.
Therefore, I had to disable them in each zone.

According to SUN's document, there are different ways of disabling web consoles.
Stop Web Console:

Code: Select all

# smcwebserver stop
Disable Web Console:

Code: Select all

# smcwebserver disable
Or

Code: Select all

# svcadm disable system/webconsole:console
After disabling web consoles for all zones, I got over 200 MB memoryu back to the server.

Web Console helps more on ZFS administration.

Applications That Are Available to the Java Web Console

Solaris 10 6/06: The ZFSTM web-based management tool is available in the Java Web Console. This tool enables you to perform much of the administration tasks that you can perform with the command-line interface (CLI). These capabilities include setting parameters, viewing the various pools and file systems, and making updates to them.

The following are examples of typical procedures that you might perform with the tool:
  • Create a new storage pool.
  • Add capacity to an existing pool.
  • Move (export) a storage pool to another system.
  • Import a previously exported storage pool, to make it available on another system.
  • View tables of information about storage pools.
  • Create a file system.
  • Create a zvol (virtual volume).
  • Take a snapshot of a file system or a zvol volume.
  • Roll back a file system to a previous snapshot.
For more information about using the Solaris ZFS web-based management tool, see Solaris ZFS Administration Guide.

Solaris 10 Web Console - Oracle Java Web Console

Post by cah »

Be aware!

Sun Storage Common Array Manager is run under Oracle Java Web Console.
Solaris 11 doesn't have web console built in by default.

Once it is turned off, Sun Storage Common Array Manager is also deactivated.
Port 6789 will then disappear.
