    That license key decoded as SF for Windows.
    When your virtual machine is running an Unix OS (Solaris), you would need a Unix license in the VM.
    That being said, SF Basic should not require a license, however there is a known issue with 5.1 licensing and the SF Basic. 

    From what I understand, in the storage media in the storage_foundation subdirectory, there is a file (hidden) named ".key".

    Do the following:
    cd <media_path>/storage_foundation
    cat .key
    Use the output (which is the SF Basic key) on the following command line:
    vxlicinst -k <key>
    Then rescan the license you just put in:
    vxdctl license init

    That should resolve any license related issue.

VEA GUI is no longer packaged. Symantec recommends use of the SFM Console
to manage, monitor and report on multi-host environments. You can download
this utility at no charge from http://go.symantec.com/vom. If you wish to
continue using VEA GUI, it can be downloaded from the same web site.


pkgadd -d VRTSsfmh_3.0.357.0_SunOS_arch_i386.pkg

The following packages are available:

Veritas Operations Manager Managed Host by Symantec(i386) 3.0.357.0

Current administration requires that a unique instance of the
<VRTSsfmh> package be created.  However, the maximum number of
instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the
same system has already been met.

No changes were made to the system.
