# Master System

This system is used to build a software stack. The master system's hardware configuration should represent the hardware configuration of the managed hosts. The software stack is to be deployed to the managed hosts. The software stack is encapsulated in the form of a Solaris Flash archive.

The master system must include some of the Change Manager packages. These packages include the agent software and the audit tools. This software enables the systems that are installed with the archive to be managed by the Change Manager server.

The software stack creator can make the stack customizable by embedding a description of the software parameters and deployment finish scripts in the archive. At deployment time, the finish scripts process the parameter values provided by the deployment user, customizing the software as required.

The deployment user specifies values for these software parameters as a shared profile or as being associated with the managed host itself, in which case the parameters are referred to as host properties.

For instructions on installing the master system, see Chapter 4, Creating a Deployable Solaris Flash Archive (Tasks).
