About HPOM Interoperability
Interoperability Between HPOM for UNIX and HPOM for Windows
Configuring HPOM Agents to Send Messages to
Different Management Servers
Agent-based flexible management allows you to configure managed
nodes to send messages to different management servers, based on time
and message attributes. This is not simply forwarding all messages from
one management server to another, but rather specifying which
messages from a managed node should be sent to which management
server.
Additional configuration provided by agent-based flexible management
includes specifying which management server is allowed to execute
actions on this managed node and which management server can become
the primary management server of this managed node.

Agent-based message forwarding
Agent-based, server-to-server message forwarding is the message
forwarding solution used in previous versions of HPOM for Windows.
HPOM for Windows 7.5 introduces a new message forwarding
solution, server-based flexible management, which is now the
recommended message forwarding solution. Agent-based,
server-to-server message forwarding is only available to support
backward compatibility.
