downloaded from:

http://www.sun.com/software/products/sunmanagementcenter/

SunMC is not bundled with Solaris.

2. To determine if SunMC server is installed on a Solaris system or
what version is present, the following command can be run:
$ pkginfo -l SUNWessrv | grep VERSION
VERSION:  3.6.1,REV=2.7.2003.08.28

If the following error message is returned, the "SUNWessrv" package
and SunMC server are not installed on the system.

  ERROR: information for "SUNWessrv" was not found


3. To determine if SunMC agent is installed on a Solaris system or
what version is present, the following command can be run:
$ pkginfo -l SUNWescom | grep VERSION
VERSION:  3.6.1,REV=2.7.2003.08.28

If the following error message is returned, the "SUNWescom" package
and SunMC agent are not installed on the system.

  ERROR: information for "SUNWescom" was not found

issues have been exploited.
