Configuring an Agent to Report to a Different Primary MOM Management Server
By default, the Management Server that you use to install an agent becomes the agents primary Management Server. You can configure agents to report to a different primary MOM Management Server. The following caveats apply:
The MOM Management Server that an agent reports to is configured in the computer discovery rule that applies to the agent. Therefore, if a computer discovery rule targets more than one agent, a change to the primary MOM Management Server will apply to all targeted computers.
If an agent is targeted by more than one computer discovery rule, resulting in multiple Management Server managing the agent, then the last computer discovery rule to run is applied to the agent. MOM will generate an alert in this scenario.
To configure an agent to report to a different primary MOM Management Server:
In the MOM Administrator console, expand Administration, expand Computers, and then click on Computer Discovery Rules.
In the details pane, right-click on the computer discovery rule that applies to the agent that you are configuring, and then click Properties.
Under Management Server, select a new primary MOM Management Server and click OK.
In the left pane of the MOM Administrator console, right-click Computer Discovery Rules, and click Run Computer Discovery Now.
Verify that the agent is reporting to the desired MOM Management Server:
In the left pane of the MOM Administrator console, click on Agent-managed Computers.
In the details pane, locate the agent computer and then view the Management Server column to determine the primary MOM Management Server.
Send the configuration change to the agent computer by updating agent settings:
In the details pane, right-click the agent computer and click Update Agent Settings.
Click OK.
