Managed hosts are controlled by Change Manager operations, such as initial installation, update, and audit. Managed hosts must be added to the Change Manager server to act as Change Manager targets. Managed hosts also must be visible to the server through the appropriate naming service scheme.
For instructions on deploying software to managed hosts, see Chapter 5, Installing Solaris Flash Archives on Managed Hosts (Tasks).
To simplify replicated system management, ensure that the hardware configuration of the master system and managed hosts match as closely as possible. The best match is an identical hardware configuration.
Each replicated managed host must have the following data registered in the appropriate naming service databases:
Host name
IP address
For example, if the network uses the NIS naming service, update the hosts database. Add the host name and IP address to the hosts database.
