Veritas Operations Manager uses Control Hosts as a discovery mechanism. A Control Host can be used to perform agentless discovery of a remote host. To perform agentless discovery, you must install the Control Host Add-on on one of the managed hosts. You can install the Control Host Add-on on Management Server, however it is not recommended as it puts extra load on Management Server.

Platform support for a host that can act as a Control Host is the same as that of Management Server.

Note:

A UNIX Control Host can only discover UNIX agentless hosts using SSH. A Windows Control Host can discover Windows agentless hosts using WMI or UNIX agentless hosts using SSH. Ensure that you install one or more Control Hosts on the appropriate platform depending on the operating system of the remote hosts you want to discover agentlessly.
