Information About Managed Hosts and Host Groups Created by Change Manager Remains in the Topology Database Even After Change Manager Software Is Uninstalled

Description:

Managed hosts and host groups created by Change Manager appear in the Sun Management Center topology database even after Change Manager has been uninstalled and data has been discarded.

You can access these managed hosts and host groups from the Sun Management Center Console. If you reinstall Change Manager later, you can also access these managed hosts and host groups. However, you will be unable to run any Change Manager operations, such as an update, on them.

Cause:

Change Manager needs more information about managed hosts than Sun Management Center does. The information that remains in the Sun Management Center topology database must be augmented before such hosts can be fully managed by Change Manager.

Solution:

If you intend to reinstall Change Manager software, you must first update the host configuration for each of the existing managed hosts.

Update the configuration by setting all of the required host properties and by associating each managed host with a shared profile or Solaris Flash archive. Once these changes have been made, you can perform Change Manager operations on these managed hosts.

If you do not intend to reinstall Change Manager software, remove the managed hosts and host groups from the Sun Management Center topology database. You can perform this cleanup by using the Sun Management Center Console.
