3.2.2 Hostname
It is recommended that you configure the hostname for the Operations Manager server
before you start installing Operations Manager. Specify the hostname when you are
installing the operating system or subsequently, using My Computer > Properties >
Computer Name.
Once Operations Manager is installed, changing the hostname is a very laborious process
involving file manipulation and the execution of scripts. User Guide for Cisco Unified
Operations Manager documents all the steps involved in changing the hostname of the
Operations Manager server.

3.2.3 Client PC Macromedia Flash
For any PC client, or if the Operations Manager server is also going to be used as the
Operations Manager client, visit
Operations Manager client, visit
www.macromedia.com
and upgrade the Macromedia Flash
Player on the Operations Manager server to Version 8.0.x. The client system must be
used to access the internet, and the upgrade is applied directly to that system. There is no
way to separately download this file from the Macromedia website and apply it. If you
are working in a very secure network environment, it is recommended that you upgrade
the Macromedia Flash version before installing Operations Manager on a network
blocked from the internet.

3.2.4 Verify Locale Settings
Operations Manager only supports the U.S. English and Japanese locales. Using other
locales means that you are running on a nonsupported configuration. Further, Operations
Manager may display erratic behavior, such as JRunProxyServer services not starting
automatically. However, non-U.S. English keyboard layouts should work.

3.2.5 DNS Settings
It is not mandatory that devices managed by Operations Manager be in DNS. However, it
is mandatory that Operations Manager itself be reachable through both its fully qualified
domain name (server.cisco.com) and its IP address. This can be accomplished in either of
two ways:
is mandatory that Operations Manager itself be reachable through both its fully qualified
domain name (server.cisco.com) and its IP address. This can be accomplished in either of
two ways:
• Adding a forward and reverse name translation in the DNS server for Operations
Manager.
• Adding an entry (with the name-to-IP address mapping) in the hosts file in the
Windows\system32\etc\drivers folder.
Once this is done, verify forward and reverse lookup using the fully qualified domain
name as well as the IP address. Failure to do so will cause errors in device discovery and
monitoring.
