About HPOM Interoperability
Interoperability in Flexible Management Environments
Interoperability in Flexible Management
Environments
In a flexible management environment, you can spread responsibility for
managed nodes over multiple management servers, thereby enabling the
managed nodes to send messages to the various management servers
according to the time of day, location, or subject of the messages.
All participating HP Operations management servers should have the
same major version of HPOM, but there may be situations where one or
more management servers are still running on an older version, for
example when you are in the process of upgrading your HPOM
environment to a newer version, with some management servers not
being upgraded yet.
Note that it is recommended that you upgrade all HP Operations
management servers and managed nodes to the most recent version of
HPOM in a timely manner. Mixed-version environments should remain a
temporary solution.
