SCOM 2012 Probe for Omnibus (Netcool)

Hi Team,
One of my client is using SCOM 2012
I have asked customer if they use a load balancing solution and they answered that
no:
if the RMS fails the system will switch to the next MS “in line” (let’s call it MS2) and when the RMS will finish rebooting (all 3 MSs, RMS and the other two MSs in the solution, work on virtual
machines and rebooting them will take one minute, or something like that) then it will become the active MS/RMS (a failback configuration).
If MS2 will fail (while the RMS is still down) then the third MS (MS3) will become the active one; if MS2 (or RMS) will recover then the active MS will be MS2 (or RMS).
Q1: That means Customer Configured Cluster Failover ? any specific ?
If yes. Do we have any Cluster IP which connect to Active MS (Actually SCOM Probe needs to be connected to MS)
Q2 : When Primary MS 1 goes down.. how Operator will see events from Which MS ? (Is Operational console will be installed on MS* also) ?
Q 3: So if there one connector to MS1 and a second connector on MS2, both MS on the same management group, and configured to get the same group of alarms (for example ResolutionState = 0
(New) ) then the two connectors will be in a race condition: each connector will receive different alarms because the alarms are stored in the same database (and not on the MS itself).
Is my understanding correct?
Thanks
Sekhar

SCOM 2012 License for SCOM 2012 R2

Hi,
I want to upgrade SCOM 2012 SP1 to SCOM 2012 R2. Do I need to have any additional license for this upgrade or SCOM 2012 RTM license will work for R2 as well?

Hi,
I'm afraid you may need the additional SCOM 2012 R2 license after upgrading. Here is the detail information.

Which type of SQL DB do I need for SCOM 2012?

Hello everyone,
We would like to install a SCOM 2012 Server for reporting and alerting of our Exchange and Lync Server.
Our guys from database management asks me, what type of SQL DB do I need. "An SQL DB with 100GB" shouldn't be enough :-( I'm not very familiar with SQL.
So, which informations could be missing?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Daniel
Beste Grüße

Daniel,
usually Standard Edition is enough and included in the SCOM (agent) license.
Here you find more about requirements:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249696.aspx
SQL specific:
Check for updates and hotfixes for Microsoft SQL Server. See
SQL Server in System Center 2012 R2.
Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not supported. The same version should be used for all features.
For SQL Server collation settings, see
SQL Server in System Center 2012 R2
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start.
For information about how to resolve the issue, see
System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure Due to SQL Configuration Change
If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
tempdb Database.
You should have a look at the sizing calculator:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/A/6/CA60425C-950B-456E-986C-C5F2FCD5668D/System%20Center%202012%20Operations%20Manager%20Sizing%20Helper%20Tool%20v1.xls

Exchange 2013 SP1 and SCOM 2012 R2

Hi there,
Hopefully someone can assist me with this issue, if it is one...
I am halfway through an Exchange migration, from Exchange 2010 SP3 on Server 2008 R2 to Exchange 2013 SP1 on Server 2012 R2.
76 users in total, roughly 80GB of Public Folders.
I have configured the 2013 environment with a cross datacenter DAG, also increased all of the timeouts of the cluster to take this into consideration, and everything appears to function as expected.
Added both 2013 machines to SCOM 2012 R2 for at least a week with no active users on it, and all monitoring reported ok, no issues.
Exchange 2010 is configured to use webmail.company.com for RPC over HTTP, which is what I have configured 2013 to use as well.
Implemented Microsoft ARR for client access to Exchange 2013, as opposed to ISA we've used for Exchange 2010.
A week ago, changed the DNS records for webmail.company.com from ISA to ARR, and all clients connected perfect.
Thought, ok, now we can start the migration. So far everything "seems" to be going perfect with the mailbox moves, however, SCOM is really noisy.
Attempted to reran the probe for EWS and got the error below:
Is there perhaps anyone that can assist me with these errors?
Cheers

FYI... IIS ARR is not supported for Exchange Server.
Check in event log if you are getting anything related to the issue.
About Outlook POP UP to end users. Check the event log on 2010/2013 for MRS events.
Are those mailboxes still moving or in move request?

SCOM 2012 Network Monitoring Does Not Show Servers

We are testing out the network monitoring piece in SCOM 2012 but for some reason it never does show the servers. We have a test switch with a monitored server connected directly to it but after the discovery completes it doesn't show the server as
being connected. The switch in question is a Juniper and if you look at the diagram view for the device it does show all of the ports under "not monitored" and the Processor and Memory under "Healthy." The following event sequence shows up in the
"Network Discovery Progress Events" view:
Full Discovery Started for 1 request(s)
Proceeding to discover all systems in repository
Probing <<IP Address 1>>
Probing <<IP Address 2>>
Probing completed for <<IP Address 2>>
PostProcessing started
Probing completed for <<IP Address 1>>
PostProcessing completed
Switch::<<IP Address 2>> discovered successfully
Switch::<<IP Address 1>> discovered successfully
Discovery Completed / Devices discovered: 2 / Windows computers filtered: 0 / Devices in pending list: 0 / Devices excluded: 0
No devices were found in filtered list after discovery
Start processing connections to computers
Finished processing connections to computers. Number of connections made: 0
I've been trying to find some documentation on any other settings that are required to get network monitoring to work as advertised but so far I have struck out. Help!

Sorry Matt - you did say that very clearly in your previous post. I'll try and do better this time ;-)
From here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212935.aspx
From here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2011/09/20/what-gets-monitored-with-system-center-operations-manager-2012-network-monitoring.aspx
"An agent computer that is directly connected to a device will have the connecting interface added to this group. For this to work the management group must have the Windows Operating System management pack for the agent’s operating system, the Windows
Client Network Discovery management pack and the Windows Server Network Discovery management pack. The full discovery of the agent’s operating system has to be completed including the discovery of the agent’s network adapters. Then when network discovery
runs for the device it should stitch the port on the device to the network adapter on the computer and add the port to this group."
So possibly:
- check the management packs specified are imported
- check the the agents network adapters have been discovered
From here -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212935.aspx - it is also possible to do this for non-scom monitored servers.
"Ports that are connected to a computer are not monitored; only ports that connect to other network devices are monitored. You can monitor a port that is connected to a computer that is not agent-managed in the same management group by adding the port to
the Critical Network Adapters Group."

IBM Netcool/OMNIbus probe for SCOM

My SCOM 2012 environment feeds SCOM alerts to two IBM Netcool/OMNIbus probe. In the probe property file the connector names are different and they show correctly in the Internal Connector tab.
However when I try to forward any alert directly from monitoring console, it doesn't show me the connector names but only IBM Netcool/OMNIbus probe for both connectors. How and where can I change this name?
Thanks, Harry :-)

Hi Harry,
If we check the properties of both connector, where can we see "IBM Netcool/OMNIbus probe for SCOM", there should be a property that indecate that for both of them.
And from what I am thinking, this seems like designed by the connector, if we cannot change the above setting for both of the connector, then we may not be able to achieve the goal.

SCOM 2012 Installation does not show the SQL Server Instance for reporting services

I have an issue when I try to install SCOM 2012 with the Reporting Server feature, so in the step that I have to select a SQL Server Instance I cannot do that, because as you can see in the picture no one option appears.
In my scenario I have a DCSERVER, SQLSERVER2008 R2, SCCMSERVER 2012 and in other server I are trying to install SCOM 2012. I are trying to use the same SQLSERVER to SCOM 2012.
Should I do other procedure on SQL Server before to continue? I will apreciate someone could say me what I need to do to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Paul Mendoza.

Hi Paul
Can you confirm that SQL Reporting Services is installed on the server that you are doing the install.
For a lab environment where you have SCOM Management Server, Web Server on one server and SQL Server on another you need to:
- run setup on the SCOM Server and choose NOT to install reporting. The install here will create the OperationsManager database and OperationsManagerDW (reporting) database.
- run setup on the SQL Server where SQL Reporting Services is installed. Then choose to install reporting. You should then see the SQL Reporting Services instance on the above window which is blank in your screenshot.
Take note of the warning in that window - SCOM uses its own role based security within SQL Reporting Services and this can break other reporting. E.g. you can't install SCOM and SCSM reporting (SQL RS component) together.

Could some one please assist or share me the details, how to configure these services for windows agent servers.
Thanks..
Regards, Rajeev Parambil

Hi,
A certain set of services are monitored by default on all agents:
DNS Client
DHCP Client
RPC
Workstation
Server
For all the other services you could create a service monitor.
A nice blog series outlining this process can be found here: http://www.bictt.com/blogs/bictt.php/2011/03/16/scom-monitoring-a-service-part1

SSRS for SCOM 2012 need separate instance of SQL

Hi All,
My customer has planned to install SCOM 2012 R2 in their environment. I designed for them as followings:
Planned 3 MS servers namely, MS1, MS2 & MS3
The rolls planned on those MS servers as follows:
MS1 – Management Server,
Operation console & Web console
MS2 – Management Server,
Operation console & Web console
MS3 – Management Server,
ACS, SQL Reporting services & SCOM Reporting server
Customer has their existing SQL cluster database configured. This existing SQL database is also utilized by other applications.
I am planning to keep all the SCOM databases (Operation Manager DB, Operation DW DB, Reporting DB & ACS DB) on the central location on SAN storage of the SQL cluster.
For this, I requested to customer for a new instance of SQL to install SCOM DBs & SQL Server Reporting services.
Customer raised a concern on Why would need to install the databases & SQL Server Reporting services on a separate instance.
I replied as, The new instance requested will host the databases along with the SQL Server reporting services (SSRS).
The installation of SQL server report server will integrate the security of selected SSRS instance with Operation Manager role based security. Any reports that were previously installed on this
SQL server instance might become inaccessible. No other applications that are using SQL Server Reporting Services can be installed on this instance of SQL Server.
On this, Customer says if SSRS is planning to install on the MS3 server then there would not need to create a separate instance on SQL cluster. We can go with the existing instance for installation
of SCOM databases on SQL cluster and SSRS on MS3 server.
I need your inputs on this, as can I still require the new instance of SQL on SQL cluster or can go with the existing instance for installation of SCOM databases on SQL cluster and SSRS on MS3 server.
Kindly provide your inputs.
Regards,
SandeepK

Although SCOM can share a single instance running SQL Server to store data, this is not a recommended configuration. The SSRS is the same, no document says that it can be shared with others.
