Starting Server Manager
The GUI Version of Oracle Server Manager
The GUI Version of Oracle Server Manager
For UNIX users, Oracle supplies a GUI version of Server Manager. The command to start it is: svrmgrm.
The “m” at the end of the command stands for “Motif”.
Motif is an X-Windows-based windowing manager that you need in order to use the GUI version.
To start the GUI version of Server Manager from an X-windows client, you first open a Telnet session, then issue the svrmgrm command.
I do not emphasize learning the GUI version of Server Manager because it's not a strategic product for Oracle. Enterprise Manager is Oracle's flagship database administration tool, and it's GUI-based. If you want to learn a GUI administration tool, you are much better off focusing your efforts on learning Enterprise Manager, and in the next course of this series you will begin to do just that.
