System Center Operations Manager(SCOM) Implementation–Part 3

 

For Installing Operations Manager Database
For Installing Root Management Server 

Deploying Management Server

To allow agents to have fail-over targets and to further distribute the Operations Manager 2007 Server components, you must install management servers in the management group. After they are installed, you can use the Agent Assignment and Failover Wizard to indicate which management servers are available for failover, and you can install the ACS Collector server and Web console components.
In this scenario, we are only installing ACS Collector Server.
To prepare servers for management server components

1. Make sure that all servers that will be used as management servers are in Forests that share a Kerberos trust with the Forest that the root management server (RMS) is in.
2. Use the Manage Your Server tool to add the Application Server role to the server or manually install IIS. Install the .NET Framework version 2.0, .NET Framework version 3.0 components, and MSXML 6.0. Also, though the Prerequisite Viewer does not list it as a prerequisite, you must install ASP.NET Ajax extensions v 1.0. Install Windows PowerShell if you want to install the Operations Manager Command Shell component. Install WS-MAN if this management server will be monitoring UNIX/Linux computers.
3. Add the Operations Manager Administrators Domain group to the Local Administrators group, add the domain-based MSAA to the Local Administrators group, and add the SDK and Config Service account to the Local Administrators group.
4. Complete the RMS setup.
To check for management server prerequisites by using Prerequisite Viewer
1. Log on to the target server with the Operations Manager administrator account credentials.
clip_image0022. From your Operations Manager 2007 installation media, double-click SetupOM.exe to start the System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Setup on the Start page.
3. Under the Prepare heading, click Check Prerequisites to start the Prerequisite Viewer.
4. In the Components box, select the Server, Console, and PowerShell components.
5. When you are done with the Prerequisite Viewer, click Close.
Install a Management server
1. On the server that you are going to install Operations Manager on, log on with the Operations Manager administrator account.
2. On your installation media, start SetupOM.exe. This starts the System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Setup Wizard on the Start page.
3. Under the Install heading, click Install Operations Manager 2007 R2 to start the Operations Manager 2007 R2 Setup Wizard.
4. On the Setup Wizard Welcome page, click Next.
5. On the End User License Agreement page, select the I accept the terms in the license agreement option, and then click Next.
6. On the Product Registration page, enter the appropriate values in the User Name and Organization fields. Enter your 25-digit CD Key, and then click Next.
7. On the Custom Setup page, ensure that the Management Server, User Interfaces, and Command Shell components are set to This component, and all dependent components, will be installed on the local disk drive. Set the Database and Web Console options to This component will not be available. To change the installation directory, click Browse, enter the appropriate path and folder name, and then click Next.
clip_image0048. On the SQL Server Database Instance page, enter the name of the SQL Server instance in the SC database Server field. This is the value that is in the Network Name field of the SQL Server Name. In the SQL Database Name field, ensure that OperationsManager is listed, or change it if you changed the name of the database when you installed the Operations Manager database component. In the SQL Server Port field, accept the default of 1433 unless you have configured SQL Server to use a different port for communications. If you have done so, enter the appropriate port number.
9. Click Next
10. On the Management Server Action Account page, accept the default Domain or Local Computer Account option, enter the credentials of the MSAA, and then click Next.
Note
clip_image006By using a domain-based account, it will be much easier to perform discovery and push agent installation later on than if you chose the Local System account.
11. On the SDK and Config Service Account page, select the Domain or Local Account option, enter the credentials for the SDK and Config Service account, and then click Next. clip_image008
12. On the Customer Experience Improvement Program page, indicate whether you want to join this program, and then click Next.
13. On the Microsoft Update page, optionally indicate whether you want to use the Microsoft Update services to check for updates, and then click Next.
14. On the Ready to Install the Program page, click Install when you are ready for the installation to proceed.
15. On the Completing the System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Setup Wizard page, accept the default option to Start the Console, and then click Finish.
16. In the Operations Console, in the Monitoring view, expand the Operations Manager folder, expand the Management Server folder and select the management server state object, and then confirm that the newly added management server is present and in a Healthy state.
