Update Manager Inconsistencies
I've just upgraded my support plan to include a second host. Have been using 'smpatch' w/o incident for more than a year. on the older host.
I've used updatemanager to register my second system. It says I successfully registered, but when I restart it, it says I'm not registered. The online Update Connection tools tells me I;m registered, but the older system no longer shows up.
On the new system, 'smpatch' tells me I'm not registered; on the older system, things still work ok.
So, what next?

If the host is registered for patches, this command will produce output:# /usr/lib/cc-ccr/bin/ccr -g cns.assetidIf not, see http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-82688-1--Modski

The new system looks to have got itself into a semi registered state some how so i'd suggest clearing out the current registration on it and attempting to re-register it -
# cacaoadm stop
# cacaoadm status
# /usr/lib/cc-ccr/bin/eraseCCRRepository
# rm /var/scn/persistence/SCN*
