OMS Set-Up and Configuration

...

  1. For an existing Universal Agent installation, you will need to configure the OMS Server component definition to specify autostart yes and restart yes. You also will need to restart Universal Agent after making these component configuration changes.

  2. To install a new OMS-only server, make sure to configure OMS to automatically start and UAG not to automatically start. By not starting UAG, this OMS-only server will not register with UCAM and will not consume one of your Agent Licenses.

...

Once you have one or more active OMS servers or OMS HA clusters, they need to be defined to UCAM. See Creating OMS Server Records for more detailed information.

...

Universal Agents must be configured to register with UCAM in order to receive their license. The UAGS (Universal Agent Server) component of Universal Agent connects to an OMS in order to communicate with UCAM. The UAGS OMS_SERVERS option must be configured to connect to an OMS or OMS HA Cluster.

...

For UCAM, you can simply install and configure a second UCAM instance (Cluster Node) to connect to the same database as the primary UCAM Cluster Node; see Adding a Cluster Node

For OMS, you will need to provide an NFS (Network File Share) for each OMS HA Cluster; see OMS Server High Availability for more information.
