Network and firewall requirements

If you plan to manage hosts within multiple domains, update the network settings to resolve the host from all domains.

You need to ensure that the localhost can be resolved from the host.

If localhost cannot be resolved from the host, update your network settings to enable it.

For Veritas Operations Manager Management Server HA, you need to configure firewall settings for both the virtual and the physical IP of all cluster nodes.

Veritas Operations Manager uses the default ports as shown in Table: Default ports in an Veritas Operations Manager installation to transfer information.
