Sun Patch Manager 2.0 Release Notes for the Solaris 9 Operating System

Sun Patch Manager 2.0 Interoperability

A system that runs Sun Patch Manager 2.0 can manage remote systems that run Patch Manager, including SolarisTM Patch Manager 1.0.

However, a system that runs an earlier version of Patch Manager, such as Solaris Patch Manager Base 1.x or Solaris Patch Manager 1.0, cannot manage a system that runs Sun Patch Manager 2.0.

Note that a Solaris 8 system cannot manage other systems or be managed by other systems, as there is no Solaris 8 CIM/WBEM support for Patch Manager.
