Sun Management Center Topology

Sun Management Center maintains information about managed hosts and host groups in its topology database. Change Manager operates on the topology, adding and removing entries that correspond to managed hosts. The Sun Management Center console presents a graphical view of the topology, while Change Manager presents a tabular view of the same data. Change Manager also maintains additional Change Manager-specific data about topology objects in its Metadata tables.

None of the Change Manager management utilities (cminst(1MCM), cmsetup(1MCM), cmuninst(1MCM)) have any effect on the topology data. These utilities are maintained by Sun Management Center and are managed with the usual Sun Management Center tools.
