Description

The HOST_SELECTION option specifies which host in the REMOTE_HOST list the UEM Manager will choose to begin its attempts to connect to a remote Universal Broker.

Regardless of how the first host is selected, UEM Manager processes the list sequentially until either a connection to a remote Universal Broker succeeds or all hosts in the list have been tried.

HOST_SELECTION is ignored if only one host is specified in the REMOTE_HOST list of hosts.
