I have 180 Solaris 7, 8 and 9 servers to patch and am looking at using xVM Ops Center. Has anyone here had any experience with it?

Yes, we have used xVM Ops Center and it's great for patching and provisioning. The xVM Ops Center 2.0 is out now which is a much better version. You should take a look at it.
I don't think xVM Ops Center supports patching for Solaris 7 since Solaris 7 is not supported by Sun anymore. You can use xVM Ops Center to patch the following:
* x86 systems: Solaris 10
* SPARC systems: Solaris 8, 9, and 10
Just to let you know, we at Halcyon Monitoring Solutions have an integration solution with xVM Ops Center 2.0 that will forward notifications to the framework of your choice (Tivoli, HP Openview, BMC Enterprise Manager, etc.). Since out of the box, xVM Ops Center does not have a tool for forwarding notifications. You can take a look at the following link if you are interested in this integration solution:
