OMS Servers
Introduction
OMS (Universal Message Service) Servers are the network communication providers between Universal Controller 7.2.x and Universal Agent.
Creating OMS Server Records
You must create a record for each OMS Server and OMS HA cluster (two or more OMS Servers in an HA / High Availability environment) that will be used as the network communications provider between the Controller and Agents.
Do not create individual records for each member (OMS Server) of an OMS HA cluster. You must define an OMS HA cluster as a single record, with the OMS Server Address containing a comma-separated list of each OMS Server in the cluster.
