Configuring Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager on Linux and Windows

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
After you successfully install Management Server, a message is displayed with the URL that you can use to configure Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager. On Windows, if you chose to launch the configuration, the Web browser is automatically launched with the URL.
For browser support, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager Hardware and Software Compatibility List (HSCL) at the following URL: viom_hscl_802.pdf
Note: You may configure the networking on Management Server in either the IPv4 mode, or in the mixed mode (IPv4 and IPv6). For Management Server that runs in the mixed mode, use only the IPv4 address during the installation and configuration process and not the IPv6 address. For Management Server configuration with IPv6 address, the localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1 should be bound to a network interface that is up and running. For example, lo0 on Linux.
