Title: Grid Control Agent communication issue
Post by Pete Finnigan on Jun 19^th, 2007, 9:10pm

Hi,
Scenario:

I want to monitor a database located on a DMZ, while the OMS (Grid Control) server is located on an internal network.
The problem with this setup is that the security policy says that no communication should be inititated from the DMZ -> Internal network, and the way the Agent-to-OMS communication works is that the agent (on the DMZ) will initiate the communication with the OMS (to send XML-files over http/https), and that is not allowed. Communication going from the internal network -> DMZ is allowed though.

So has anyone else had this problem, and how did you solve it?

Any help appreciated
Regards
