theinstallation.

1FromAdvancedConfiguration,selectPrimaryorBackupunderServerConfiguration.

2InvCenterOperationsServerConfiguration,chooseHTTPorHTTPS.

ThissetstheprotocoltouseforclientconnectionstothevCenterOperationsManagerEnterprise

server.

3ToenableInternetconnectionstothevCenterOperationsManagerEnterpriseserver,typetheservername
