Management Server is the central piece of the Veritas Operations Manager architecture. Management Server is responsible for displaying and managing the information that is reported from the managed hosts, storage, SAN fabrics and Virtualization environment.
To identify a host that is appropriate as Management Server, use the following criteria:
The host should meet or exceed recommended system requirements.
The host should provide data security and space for a growing database as Management Server discovers new managed hosts and monitors network events. Ideally, the host should have RAID-protected storage and the capacity to grow its file systems.
Clients that connect to Management Server using the Veritas Operations Manager console (Web browser) must be able to access the host.
For more information on choosing a Management Server host, refer to the Veritas Operations Manager Hardware and Software Compatibility List (HSCL).
