Server-based flexible management enables you to forward messages between multiple management servers. After a management server forwards a message, you can keep it up to date on all management servers by configuring them to forward message operations, for example, ownership changes and acknowledgements. Management servers can also forward action responses, which contain information about the success or failure of operator-initiated and automatic actions.
By default, management servers communicate using the HTTPS protocol, but you can configure communication using the DCE protocol if necessary. HPOM for Windows 8.10 supports server-based flexible management with the following management server versions:

Configuring server-based flexible management involves multiple tasks. The following tasks are mandatory:
The following tasks are optional:
After you deploy a valid server-based flexible management policy to a management server, the management server begins to forward messages and message operations. To subsequently stop the management server forwarding messages and message operations, disable the server-based flexible management policy.
