What is the DFM broker?
The DFM broker (called DfmBroker) is a process running DFM software that facilitates communication between a domain manager (DfmServer) and its clients (consoles and adapters). The broker maintains information about the domain manager: its name (DfmServer), the hostname on which the DfmServer is running, and the TCP port where the DfmServer listens for client connections. The broker periodically connects to DfmServer to monitor its status.
