What You Can't Do With Host Manager

Host Manager cannot automatically recognize all previously added system types. 

Use the Update System Type option from the File menu the first time you use Host Manager. This option will probe systems on the network and attempt to identify their system types. 

Host Manager can't add SunOS 4.x services to an OS server.

Mount a SunOS 4.x CD image and add OS services by using the install4x command.

Host Manager can't provide remote installations services for SunOS 4.x systems.

Install SunOS 4.x systems from the local CD-ROM drive. 

Host Manager does not enable you to install patches on existing clients and servers. (However, if you have used the admclientpatch command to set up a patch spool directory, Host Manager will reference this spool directory and add appropriate patches for all new hosts.)

Use the admclientpatch command to set up a patch spool directory and to update existing servers and clients with the latest patches. See admclientpatch(1M) for details.
