Prev	Installing, upgrading, and uninstalling Veritas Operations Manager	Next

If you are installing Management Server on a UNIX host, messages similar to the following are displayed after successful installation of Management Server:

Installation is complete. You will need to configure Veritas Operations Manager.

Please open your browser and type the following URL to configure:

https://myhost.example.com:5634/

Use the URL displayed in the message to configure Veritas Operations Manager.

Note:

You may configure the networking on Management Server in either the IPv4 mode, or in the mixed mode (IPv4 and IPv6). For Management Server that runs in the mixed mode, use only the IPv4 address during the installation and configuration process and not the IPv6 address.

If you are installing Management Server on a Windows host, the Web browser is automatically launched with the URL to configure Veritas Operations Manager. For Internet Explorer 7.0, or later, on Windows Server 2008, or Firefox 3.0, or later, if the Web page does not get displayed, you have to set up the Web browser.

During the configuration, you are prompted to specify a location to store the Veritas Operations Manager database. You can accept the default location or specify your own.

Note:

For Management Server configuration with IPv6 address, the localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1 should be bound to a network interface (for example, lo0 on Solaris and Linux), and lo0 is up and running.

To configure Veritas Operations Manager on UNIX and Windows

Do the following tasks to launch the Web browser. If you are configuring Veritas Operations Manager on a Windows host, skip this step.
- On a host that has a network connection to the Management Server host, open a Web browser.
- In the Web browser's address field, type the following URL and press Enter:
  
  https://hostname:5634/
  
  where hostname is the Management Server's host name, fully-qualified host name, or IP address. This is applicable for IPv4 mode. For dual mode (IPv4 and IPv6 mode) configuration, you can give only the host name. For example: https://myhost.example.com:5634/
  
  For the dual mode of Management Server, the IPv6 address and the hostname entries of the managed hosts should be present in Management Server's /etc/hosts file. Also, all the managed hosts should have an entry of the IPv6 address and the host name of Management Server in their respective /etc/hosts file.
In the Authentication Required dialog, enter Management Server host's root user name and password.
In the Server Setting page, check and modify the Server Name, if required.
Check and modify the Server Address, if required.
In the Database Setting page, check the default Database location and modify it, if required.
The default database directory is /var/opt/VRTSsfmcs/db on UNIX, %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Symantec\VRTSsfmcs\db on Windows 2003, and %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Symantec\VRTSsfmcs\db on Windows 2008/2008 R2.
Click Next.
In the Analytics Setting page, select Enable Analytics Gathering to allow Symantec to gather data on your Veritas Operations Manager usage.
Do one of the following:
- To change settings, click Back,
- To start the configuration, click Finish.
At the end of the Veritas Operations Manager configuration, messages similar to the following are displayed:

Configuration successful

Click the Launch Web Console button to login.
Click Launch Web Console to log on to Veritas Operations Manager on the configured Management Server host.
