Configuring a Federated CMS
Before you begin the configuration process, decide which CMS will be the main CMS.
Figures 3 through 5 illustrate the steps to configure a Federated CMS. First, you enter the remote CMS
hostname in the HP SIM Federated CMS Configuration tool found under the Options menu (Figure 3).
Figure 3: From the Options menu, select Federated CMS Configuration and type the remote CMS
