Configure communication protocols for server-based flexible management

By default, with HPOM for Windows 8.00 and above, the management server uses the HTTPS protocol to communicate with other management servers securely. If you need to forward messages to management servers that support only the DCE protocol, you can change this default, or set exceptions.

To configure communication protocols for server-based flexible management

1. In the console tree, right-click Operations Manager, and then click ConfigureServer.... The Server Configuration dialog appears.

2. Click Namespaces, and then click Server-based Flexible Management.

3. Optional. Set the value Default protocol to DCE. The management server uses DCE-based message forwarding and synchronization for all management servers that are not listed in Protocol exceptions.

4. Optional. Set the value of Protocol exceptions to contain a comma-separated list of management server names, for which you need to use the opposite of the Default protocol.

   For example, if most of your management servers support HTTPS, leave Default protocol set to HTTPS. List the older management servers that support only DCE in Protocol exceptions.
