Veritas Operations Manager

Veritas Operations Manager (VOM) is a comprehensive business solution for monitoring, operating, and reporting on data center environments using Storage Foundation and Veritas Cluster Server. This section lists the requirements for installing VOM 5.0.

Management Server is the central point for collecting and managing the information that Storage Foundation and High

As the Management Server discovers new managed hosts and monitors network events, the host should provide security and space for a growing database. Ideally, the host should have RAID-protected storage and the capacity to grow its file systems. Clients that connect to Management Server using the VOM console (Web browser) must be able to access the host. Managed host A managed host is configured to VOM supports the following belong to a centrally-managed managed hosts: deployment.
