The Health Overview page also has several useful regions. For a quick overview of the managed environment, the

Manager to add an additional OMS to your existing system.
OMS Management with the Command Line
Let's start this section by discussing what's
not
available for managing the OMS from the command line anymore, and

at that in more detail.
The EMCTL Utility

agent. Having said that, there are many
