You took advantage of another good discussion forum to ask this same question:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=556353
Yesterday's response over there was accurate:
(quoting... )If a piece of software has been installed
without following the Solaris packaging standard,
there is no generic way to get it's location/version.
You may just have to keep a written book of how the system is configured.
That would be of value for hardware as well as software.
For software it would be of value for your patching history as well as your application history.
I've heard such a book referred to as a "run book".
You keep it with the system for as long as you ever keep it running.
