Sun Management Center Server Adapter Description
======================================================================
This approach provides integration between Sun Management Center and
Halcyon Neuron Core.  All the Sun MC alarms from all Sun MC
agents linked to a given Sun MC server will be forwarded into the
Halcyon Neuron Core.

This approach requires the presence of a Sun MC Server.  Halcyon
PrimeAlert for Sun Management Center must be installed and loaded
on that server.  Please see README.install for installation details.



Sun Management Center Agent Adapter Description
======================================================================
This approach provides integration between individual Sun Management 
Center agents and the Halcyon Neuron Core, without the need for
the Sun MC server layer.  Only alarms raised by the individual agent
will be forwarded into the Halcyon Neuron Core and only alarms
originating from hardware and operating system modules (Common Config
Reader, Kernel Reader) will be properly represented. To use this
approach, each Sun MC agent being integrated with will need to be
configured individually (see README.install).

To have alarms from non-hardware or non-OS modules integrated with 
Halcyon Neuron Core, please use the Sun Management Server Adapter
(as noted above), or load the module into Halcyon's Neuron Agent
(separate installation).
