Do the following to create and save a new toolbox. Note that you
must start the editor as root if you want to create a server toolbox
-- one that is saved in /var/sadm/smc/toolboxes
. Note
also that you will need to create a directory for the server toolbox
before creating the toolbox; see To Create a Server Toolbox
Directory.
The first panel of the New Toolbox wizard is displayed.
This name will be displayed in the Navigation pane tree and in the Console header if you open the toolbox from the Console.
The description should explain what the toolbox contains and what it is meant to be used for. This description will be displayed in the Open Toolbox dialog when the toolbox is selected for opening from the Console. The description will also be displayed in the Information pane of the Console when the toolbox is selected in the Navigation pane.
These icons will represent the toolbox in the Console -- the small icon in the Navigation pane, the large icon in the Information pane.
Choices are ldap, dns, nisplus, nis, or file.
If you select file, skip the next two steps.
This is the name service server -- smcserver1.eng, for example.
This is the domain to be managed -- eng.sun.com, for example. No domain is needed if "file" is the selected management scope.
The new toolbox is displayed in the Editor. Select the toolbox to see its properties in the View pane.
