Once you have the Master Agent installed, Control Center will discover the host and create an object for it. Then you push out the appropriate host agent for the operating system and that one does the majority of the heavy lifting (discovering everything from storage allocated to processes running on the host). You can also deploy things like the DB Agent for Oracle, or the Common Mapping Agent on a host once it has the Master Agent installed. It is also required to install the infrastructure type agents (e.g. FCC, CLARiiON, Symmetrix & SDM, etc.)

The purpose of the Master Agent is simply to manage the other agents (also known as the Application Agents, or Sub-Agents).
At a minimum for a Windows host, you would want to install a Windows Host Agent. The Host Agent will collect data regarding the performance, configuration, and status on the host. In addition, in order to fully populate any StorageScope reports, the hosts will need Host Agents.
Hope This Helps,

crash one of my Solaris hosts every time we try to
install it
Have you considered having this investigated? By the sounds of the statement it's isolated to one host only.
