Hi,

You can find the download page for Sun Management Center, as well as any other link you may need, in this posting:

What are you using to monitor your hardware? If you do not currently have a monitoring solution, you could make use of your download of Sun MC as it is the best monitoring tool for your Sun environment.

Sorry for the delay. Currently there is no monitoring Solution for the solaris servers. We are trying to monitor these servers through Cacti. We are interested in Disk statstics /CPU usage/ IO read write queues. So if we could get simpler solution on this, would be happier to implement this.

Coming to the point, so I first need to install these packages on the server and import the XML packages in cacti and monitor these.

Is there any other way to do this.

Are you looking to do Solaris monitoring with Cacti alone? If not, there is an SNMP based lightweight alternative to Sun MC called the Neuron Agent:

Similar to Cacti, it also uses RRD for graphing and storing data. You could also integrate it with Cacti by getting the real-time data via SNMP.
