HOST_SELECTION - UEM Manager configuration option

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.

Values

option specifies how UEM Manager will select the first entry within a list of hosts specified by the REMOTE_HOST option.

Valid values for option are:

  • sequential
    UCMD Manager will select the first host in the list, and then proceed through the hosts in the order in which they appear within the list.
  • random
    UEM Manager will select any host in the list, in no particular order.

Note

Attempts to connect to a remote Universal Broker begin with this randomly-selected host, and then proceed in a sequential manner, wrapping around the list (if necessary) until the first host selected is reached again.

Default is sequential.
