NOTE:If your HPOM for Windows installation is based on the managed node limited management server license, the setup of integrated, multiple management servers is not supported.
The HP Operations management server is available in two versions: a Windows version and a UNIX version (running on HP-UX or Solaris). Both versions of management servers can work together to manage the same nodes in your environment. The key features of interoperability are described below. For further details, see the Related Topics references.
NOTE:Server-based flexible management uses the same message forwarding and synchronizing techniques used in HPOM for UNIX. It allows forwarding messages directly from one management server to other management servers, including HPOM for UNIX management servers. Forwarded messages are kept synchronized between the management servers; with a correct setup a message is exactly in the same state on each management server to which it was forwarded. HPOM for Windows forwards messages, based on message attributes, to one or more management servers based on rules that you set up.
HP Operations management servers allow exchanging configuration information between management servers. This is useful if you want to centrally develop policy and other configuration information and then deploy this configuration to multiple management servers.
Configuration synchronization is very helpful for forwarding and synchronizing messages between management servers. You can easily synchronize node configuration and instruction text configuration between the forwarding management servers, to set up a working message forwarding environment.
