Adding a Toolbox URL
You can add access to the Toolbox URL from one Solaris Management
Console server to another Solaris Management Console server. This
function provides a mechanism for centralizing control across multiple
Solaris Management Console servers.

To add access to a Solaris Management Console server toolbox from other
Solaris Management Console servers, follow these steps:
1. Open the toolbox to which you want to add the toolbox URL.
2. Select the node in the toolbox to which you want to add the toolbox
URL.
3. Select the Add a Toolbox URL from the Action menu.
4. Follow the instructions in the Add Toolbox URL wizard.
5. Save the toolbox.
The new toolbox contents must be reloaded in the Solaris Management
Console before the changes become visible.
Adding a Tool
Adding access to a specific Solaris Management Console server tool from
other Solaris Management Console servers enables you to configure many
different support scenarios using the Solaris Management Console
toolboxes. In a single toolbox, you can configure all tools from a number
of servers for a particular functionality. This access provides the capability
to configure a single Solaris Management Console server for access, such
as a storage server, across all the Solaris Management Console servers.

Using the Solaris Management Console Toolbox Editor
You use the Solaris Management Console toolbox editor functions to:
● Provide visibility between the Solaris Management Console server
root toolbox and the default toolbox of additional Solaris
Management Console servers
● Provide visibility of specific Solaris Management Applications
between the Solaris Management Console servers
● Create additional container mechanisms within the Solaris
Management Console server
● Provide access to legacy applications from within the Solaris
Management Console server
Adding Access to a Toolbox URL of a Solaris
Management Console
This section describes how to access the toolbox URL of a Solaris
Management Console server named sys44 from a Solaris Management
Console server named sys42. You will access the toolbox URL by
customizing the configuration of the server on sys42 with a pointer that
points to the sys44 server’s URL. This procedure involves:
● Opening the toolbox
● Adding the toolbox URL
● Saving the toolbox

Note – Management scope defines what the tool’s action will update. For
example, a tool can update local files on a server or a tool can update
information in an NIS database. You can configure a toolbox folder and a
specific tool with a scope of operation. You can create folders and tools
that inherit the scope of operation from their parents, or you can configure
them to override their parents’ scope of operation.
In the Toolbox URL Wizard – Step 6 window, you either:
● Select Inherit from Parent to specify that the toolbox inherits its
management scope from the parent node.
● Select Override to override the management scope of the parent
node.
13. In this example, click Override, select the file management scope
from the Management Scope pull-down menu, and then type the
name of the server where the file or name service resides (sys44), as

shown in Figure 3-21.
