Host not Responding Alarm on 3.6.1
I am upgrading our smc from 3.5 to 3.6.1.Normally when we reboot the server(Any server with sunmc agent) on 3.5 version I will get the alert like this 摂敂擨ndeterminate: sunmc1 Topology Manager AMS-RPT1 Entity Status Host amsrpt1 not responding敂?br>
But I am not getting any alert (host not responding alarm) like this in 3.6.1. Anyone having this problem?

SunMC checks to see if your hosts/Agents are up using ICMP/SNMP pings every 5 minutes... so if you're doing reboots, and the system manages to come back within that interval, you won't see a black/down alarm.
It it's been more than 5 minutes, and there's still no alarm, then you can check to see if you topology process has even detected a problem. Make a new Agent icon for your SunMC Server, but using port 164 instead of 161. When you double-click into it and look at the Alarms tab, you should see the alarms the Server is kicking out.
(note: there may be a 3.6.1 issue that prevents you from seeing that black alarm, but positive)
Is this a fresh 3.6.1 Server, or an upgrade from your old Server? If it's a fresh Server did you make icons for all your old Agents using an exported topology (XML file) from the old Server?
