SunMC and Solaris Management Console are two very different forms of hate
that unfortunately share the same initials.
When set up correctly SunMC will tell you the manufacturing plant where an
individual DIMM in a 15K was made. Of course, it's not really necessary, but
it is fun.

Right.
I used to give 'Solaris System Administrator' courses, which meant I
had to show SMC as well.
That would usually go like this:
- "People, after the coffee break, we'll look at Sun Mangement Center".
- I then instruct people how to start SMC.
- We go for coffee.
- By the time we get back, SMC is finally ready.
- I show how utterly slow the GUI is.
- I conclude the lesson with: "Now you know why real sysadmins use
the command line".
