Interoperability between OVO for UNIX and OVO for Windows
Configuring OVO 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.

HTTPS-based Managed Nodes in OVO 8 for UNIX
OVO 8 for UNIX introduces HTTPS as new communication mechanism
between management servers and agents. HTTPS-based agents are
generally used and administered in the same way as DCE-based agents.
CAUTION HTTPS-based agents cannot communicate with an OVO for Windows 7.x
management server. Sending messages to an OVO for Windows
management server is possible only for OVO 7.x (DCE-based) managed
nodes.
