SCOM 2012 Map Availability

I have a question about using the Summary Dashboard - Map feature.
I am looking to setup several locations around the globe on this map.
If all of the servers in this group are up, I want to display the site as green on the map. If one of the servers goes down or has a critical issue, I want to turn the locations icon red.
Is this possible to do with the base scom installation without purchasing third party applications/management packs?
Thanks for your time. I appreciate it.

Update: Some wrong Information from me(Should stop posting that early :D)
With UR2 at least you can build a Map Dashboard by using the new "Topology Widget". This will allow to use a Map as Background Image and add multiple Objects on it.
Please check:

SCOM 2012 SP1 availability report in MS Generic Report Libary shows inaccurate data

Hi,
in SCOM 2012 sp1, we have the generic availability report showing many of our web sites with no up time beyond a certain date. The web sites are ok, the web availability monitors are all healthy and the monitors test ok
None of these web availability tests are in Maintenance mode although what we are observing certainly makes us think that they are.
We also have a Web transaction login monitor for WEBSITE(A) that does not show this same outage for a login test.
However WEBSITE(A)'s availability monitor shows the same downtime as the other web availability tests.
Any thoughts on where to look for this problem? Im guessing its a problem placing the data in the Warehouse?
Thanks Lance

Hi,
Based on my understanding, the report shows there is downtime for the web site, but the web site did work well always.
It seems like that there is old data stored in data warehouse, would you please check the report for recent date, such as one day or two days.

Maps SCOM 2012

Hello Guys
I have installed SCOM 2012 R2 and I need to map the monitored servers but no license sharepoint enterprise to create with Visio pluging monitoring views.
I've already posted dashboard in SharePoint but I have not found another way to create a similar topology to what can be achieved with Visio.
I would like your help to know if there is another way to create topologies (maps) and be published by example in html o in sharepoint.
Regards
SAN

No, you will need to create Maps for SCOM 2012 R2 by Dashboards. you can't do it through SharePoint by .html

SCOM 2012 - How does SQL MP "know" which instances are available and active?

Using SCOM 2012 R2 with Microsoft's SQL MP 6.5.1.
Getting alerts occasionally for issues with SQL instances which are later found to be not active any more or removed from the SQL server.
Can someone explain how the MP determines which SQL instances are available? Is it a matter of simply reading folder structures on the various mount points, reading registry? Much appreciated for any tips.

SCOM SQL MP will using discovery to discovery SQL instance. Once the SQL instance is discovery, the SQL instance object persist in the database even though the SQL instance is removed.
Solution:
To clean up the objects you can run the Remove-SCOMDisabledClassInstance Powershell cmdlet. Then all the relationships that involve objects related to a disabled discovery is deleted.

Creating SCOM 2012 Logical Disk Space Availability View

Hi Everyone,
I am looking to create a SCOM 2012 Logical Disk Space Availability View and having a little trouble finding documentation on how to do this. It would be really handy to see all of the servers being monitored and how much free space they have all in one view.
Has anyone created a view like this before.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Availability reports not working in SCOM 2012

Hi,
All of a sudden the availability in our SCOM 2012 is not working. I mean it just shows the plain white bar indicating UP(unmonitored) instead of the Green (available) or Red bar.
I tried to check the MS logs but could not find anything related to this issue. Please note that other performance reports are working fine. It's just the availability reports that's playing with me.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks
Srini

Hi Gautam,
This issue is resolved by restarting the SCOM services on all the MS. For some reason the MS were not able to insert the data in to the DW, once i restarted the services everything is back to normal.
Thanks.

SCOM 2012 SP1 Web Console High Availability Configuration

We are a large children's hospital, with many ancillary units that we are trying to get to help monitor their servers/devices/applications through the SCOM web console. Due to the number of connections we have two standalone web console servers. The
entire environment is running on Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition servers, and we are running SCOM 2012 SP1 UR3. When accessing the web console directly via the FQDN of the server, everything works great. We have an HLB virtual IP and DNS entry
(SCOM.domain.com), which works flawlessly when access the default IIS website. However, when accessing the web console URL (http://SCOM.domain.com/OperationManagerdown) Negotiate:Kerberos, NTLM, Negotiate. I believe the issue lies in the fact that
the Application Pools are running under the ApplicationPoolIdentity identity, and the HTTP SPN's are using the machine account. We have tried changing the identity of the application pools to a domain account (the SDK service account), and modified the
SPN's so the HTTP SPNs are assigned to the domain account. We also created SPNs for the HLB VIP DNS alias. But to no avail. While we realize that Microsoft does not support load balancing of the web console, there has to be a way to make
it work. We will have more than 50 connections, so using one web console server is not an option, and asking our users to use two different URLs is not very user friendly. If anyone has any suggestions or had any success, please let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Is switching to forms based authentication an option? The extra login might be considered a pain however, but forms plus SSL is the only successful LM configuration we have worked with. We use F5s.

Highly Available SCOM 2012 R2 Implementation

Hello All.............................I have following questions with regards to highly available implementation of SCOM 2012 R2:
1. Does it rely on Cluster?
2. Is shared disk required?
3. Is it active/passive or active/active implementation?
4. is the failover to the other server automated or manual?
5. Any special requirement with respect to active directory?
6. Rights required to service account that is setting up the environment?
7. Any link to blog/article for step by step instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Please see if these helps -

Service Availability Report in SCOM 2012

Hi, we are having SCOM 2012 SP1 and need a report on Service Availability for the below services running on the servers
Active Directory
DFS
DNS
PKI
DHCP
Also, would like to understand how the SCOM would report the service availability when there are network issues (primarily WAN Issues) preventing the SCOM Server from reaching the server Hosting the service.
Thanks,
Naren.
Thanks & regards, Naren.

Hi,
In order to generate reports on the services you mentioned, you need to go through two steps for starters.
1. You need to create Distributed Applications for the services (Active Directory excluded since that DA is already created when importing the AD MP) see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457612.aspx for how it can be done.
2. You also need to create SLA´s (Service Level Tracking in the Authoring pane of the console) see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230719.aspx
The behaviour can somehow be modified since you decide what should count as donwtime when creating your SLA. However, a server which become unreachable would most likely be classified as critical and therefore it would "bring down" your service
in SCOM.
Once you have created the DA´s you want, you can use the default report "Service Level Tracking Summary" Report under the category "Microsoft Service Level Report Library". Here, you can choose to go back to a certain time to display
your SLA levels. Be aware though, you can never go futher back than to the date where you created the DA and the SLA since that´s when the availability starts measuring.

Daniel

SCOM 2012 R2 installtion wizard not able to contact SQL server cluster

Hi,
This is about the error faced while installing SCOM 2012 R2.
My customer has SQL 2012 SP1 cluster installed. I am trying to install the SCOM 2012 R2 with this installed SQL cluster. The SQL cluster is installed with default instance and with AAG (Always on Availability Group).
The edition of SQL server is, SQL Server Enterprise edition with SP1
After check services on both the SQL nodes found that SQL Full text is not installed (as the related SQL Full text service not present in the services.msc) on any of the SQL cluster node & SQL Browser service is not running.
The running services for SQL are, SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) & SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER).
When I started to install the SCOM 2012 R2, Within a SCOM 2012 wizard, On the Configure the Operational Database screen, entered only the name of SQL cluster & no instance as it is with default instance MSSQLSERVER.
I faced error as, This SQL Server could not be found.
After installed SQL full text, the service is showing in services.msc as "SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER)".
Now when I started to install the SCOM 2012 R2, Within a SCOM 2012 wizard, On the Configure the Operational Database screen, entered only the name of SQL cluster & no instance as it is with default instance MSSQLSERVER.
I faced error as, The installed version of SQL Server could not be verified or is not supported.
Followings test carried out for the connectivity between SCOM 2012 MS &SQL Cluster
Ping SQL Cluster successfully
Telnet SQL Cluster for port 1433 successfully
Tracert SQL Cluster – completed successfully with single hops.
The windows firewall is off on both sides
The SQL services running on the Active node 1 of the cluster are as follows:
SQL Full Text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Manual
SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Automatic
SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Automatic
SQL serve Browser - Stopped & Manual
SQL Server VSS Writer -- Running & Automatic
The SQL services running on the Passive node 2 of the cluster are as follows:
SQL Full Text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Manual
SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Automatic
SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) -- Stopped & Automatic
SQL serve Browser - Stopped & Manual
SQL Server VSS Writer -- Running & Automatic
The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service is not running on the second node. It is running only on first node which is active.
The account used to install SCOM has the local admin privilege on the SQL server
To ping the cluster use the cluster name & it solved the whole FQDN of cluster in ping result. When ping with IP address with -a it not resolve to name.
Is any one can provide their valuable inputs.
Regards,
SandeepK

Hi SandeepK,
Before Installing Operations Manager on an availability group, please
1. Make sure to use the Group listener Name and port when installing Operations Manager for the databases that are going to be added to the availability databases.
2. The first management server will use the Group listener to get the primary SQL instance, and will install the databases on that instance.

Monitor Dell Powerconnect Switches/Routers using SCOM 2012

Hello,
We are trying to find a way to monitor approximately 20-25 Dell Powerconnect switches/routers (models 5324,5424,5448,5548,6224,6024) through SCOM 2012.
Using SCOM network discovery we are able to get all Dell Powerconnect switches listed, but we are unable to get a network node dashboard, nor vicinity view 1 or 2 hops further. We are able to only see connected network printers and some serial/ethernet devices
we have.
In addition, SCOM 2012 seems to be able to recognize the model of only Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches. We have found that on the SCOM management server the "C:\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server\NetworkMonitoring\conf\discovery\oid2type_Dell.conf"
only lists Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches as well as several models from the 3000 series.
We have contacted Dell PRO support, but their reply was that there is no management pack for SCOM available for their networking devices.
Would it be recommended to use http://xsnmp.codeplex.com/ on SCOM 2012 to monitor those switches and get a network digram view or are there any plans to include those MIBs in a future CU or SP of SCOM 2012?

Hi Alex
Network monitoring has changed from SCOM 2007 R2 to SCOM 2012 so this statement
"but if this works for SCOM 2007, it should apply to SCOM 2012"
is not accurate when it comes to network monitoring:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2011/10/24/migrating-operations-manager-2007-network-monitoring.aspx
Would it be recommended to use http://xsnmp.codeplex.com/ on SCOM 2012?
The codeplex solutions for SCOM 2007 R2 will not work on a new \ clean install of SCOM 2012 (if you upgrade from SCOM 2007 R2 they continue to work as legacy devices but you can't add more monitoring).
SCOM 2012 seems to be able to recognize the model of only Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches
What do you mean by recoginse? SCOM can discover network devices but there is an "approved" list that allows for extended monitoring:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26831
You should still be able to discover and monitor other devices though:

Non supported version of SQL with new install of SCOM 2012 SP1

I have SQL 2012 SP1 running on Server 2012. I have tried the SCOM installation with and without CU2 (to fix the 1618 installation error)
SC VMM installed cleanly and appears to work.
The install for SCOM produces an error that says, "The installed version of SQL Server is not supported". I have not been able to find any log from the install that has that error in it.
Also, I have not been able to determine the true requirements of the SQL server for SCOM. (I found dock SCOM 2012 RTM and SQL 2008 R2, but noting for 2012 SP1.
Can someone point me to the correct place for the install log with (hopefully more information) and/or the requrements for the SQL installation?
Roy

The log is not created yet because it has not started the install.
The firewall is the most common issue indeed. Temporarily Disable the firewall and see whether you can continue.
Are you using a developers edition? The only 2 editions supported are standard and Enterprise.
The true requirements for SCOM 2012 sp1:
We recommend that you check for updates and hotfixes for SQL Server. Note the following database considerations for Operations Manager:
SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
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.
SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS. No other collation
settings are supported.
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
Side-by-side installation of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 reporting and System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager reporting on the same server is not supported.
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 – Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
tempdb Database.
