System Center Operations Manager(SCOM) Implementation–Part 2

For Installing the SCOM Operations Manager Database find my previous post
Deploying a Root Management Server
The root management server (RMS) is the only management server in a management group that runs the System Center Data Access and the System Center Management Configuration and the management group cannot operate without these services.
Add the SDK and Config service accounts to the Local Administrators group on each node of the RMS cluster.
To check prerequisites for RMS installation

1) Log on to the node for the RMS with administrative rights
2) On your installation media, start SetupOM.exe. This starts the System Center Operations Manager 2007 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 and Console components, and click Check. <Power shell in the figure is not required for RMS>
5) clip_image002When these components are selected, the Prerequisite Viewer checks for presence of Windows Server 2003 SP1, MDAC version 2.80.1022.0 or later, .NET Framework version 2.0, .NET Framework version 3.0 components and for WSMAN v1.1.
6) The results are displayed at the bottom of the Prerequisite Viewer. If there are any deficiencies, they are marked either as Warning or as Failed. Warnings can be ignored at the risk of degraded performance or other issues; failed prerequisites must be fixed before the installation can proceed. You can close the Prerequisite Viewer, fix the items and rerun the Prerequisite Viewer checks as many times as necessary until a Pass evaluation is achieved on all items.
7) When you are done with the Prerequisite Viewer, click Close.

Installing RMS
In this procedure, we are installing the first management server in the management group (the RMS).
To prepare the cluster and install RMS and User Interfaces components

1. Log on to the RMS with administrative rights.
2. On your installation media, start SetupOM.exe. This starts the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Setup Wizard on the Start page.
3. Under the Install heading, click Install Operations Manager 2007. This starts the Operations Manager 2007 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, leave the management server and User Interfaces options set to This component, and all dependent components, will be installed on the local disk drive. Set the Database, Command Shell and Web Console components to This component will not be available, accept the default installation location, and then click Next.
8. On the Prerequisite Checker page, click Next.
clip_image0049. On the SQL Server Database Instance page, enter the SQL Server name and database instance in the SQL Database Name box. This is in the format of SQL ServerSQL Instance. Because the SQL Server database was installed in the default instance, you only need to enter the SQL Cluster name that was created when you installed SQL Server 2005 in the cluster.
10. Check that the SQL Database Name field reads OperationsManager.
11. Check that the SQL Server Port field has the value of 1433 (In my case its default instance otherwise check the valid port number)
12. Click Next.
13. On the Management Server Action Account page, accept the default Domain or Local Computer Account option, enter the credentials of the Management Server Action account, and then click Next.

17. On the Ready to Install the Program page, click Install when you are ready for the installation to proceed.
18. On the Completing the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Setup Wizard page, clear the Start the Console check box, ensure that the Backup Encryption Key check box is selected, and then click Finish. The Encryption Key Backup or Restore Wizard will launch.
19. On the Introduction page of the Encryption Key Backup or Restore Wizard, click Next.
20. On the Backup or Restore page, select Backup the Encryption Key, and click Next.
clip_image01021. On the Provide a Location page, specify a valid path and file name for the encryption key and click Next.
22. On the Provide a Password page, enter a password to secure the encryption key backup file and click Next to start the backup process. You will be prompted for this password when you restore the RMS encryption key later in this procedure.
23. You should now see the Secure Storage Backup Complete page. Click Finish.clip_image012
