Two words: Control Station.  See Sun's site for more info.  You need a RaQ 
4r to run the software on, but it allows you to push PKGs to multiple 
boxes at once, check health, etc.  The agent on the managed boxes is 
"programmable" so you can add custom monitoring, etc.

Control Station can also be used to manage "regular" Linux (limited to 
RPM-compatible distros like Red Hat for now I believe) and Solaris servers 
as well.  Has hooks for Lights-Out Management of LX50s as well, in case 
you have any of those.
