SCOM 2012 R2 UR4 upgrade question - where exactly is the UNIX/Linux agent?

I am practicing the UR4 on a test |SCOM environment (my first upgrade) and our UNIX Admins have requested the "UNIX/Linux agent" so they can create packages to upgrade the UNIX/Linux agents when the time comes.
I have downloaded all the UR4 updates/software. Where exactly is the agent for UNIX/Linux machines?
I opened the "Update Rollup 4 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Operations Manager Agent (KB2992020)" folder and I saw the following agents:
amd64-agent.msp
i386-agent.msp
Are one of these the UNIX/Linux agents?
I know I'm overlooking something here since this is my first time. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

SCOM 2012 Unix/linux agents authentication method

Hi everybody
We have an environment including SCOM 2012 SP1, 10 windows server, 40 linux servers and 10 HP-UX servers. all of them are joined a trusted domain. I know the authentication method between windows agents and management server is kerberos. but about linux
and HP-UX servers? I have read :
"UNIX and Linux agent monitoring in Operations Manager requires certificates to secure the SSL communication channel between the Management Servers and agents. The
Operations Manager UNIX/Linux agent is a very lightweight agent implementation, comprising a CIM Object Manager (OpenPegasus) and CIM Providers. There are two
protocols involved in the communication between the Management Server and the UNIX/Linux agent: ssh and WS-Management."
Now I want to secure the Unix/Linux agents authentication and communication to RMS. some questions:
1- how much secure and credible is current authentication method? and in a high secure environment can I trust SCOM self signed Certificates?
2- Considering this point that Unix/linux computers are joined to active directory domain and are using Kerberos to authenticate, can I use this authentication method between RMS and linux Agents?
3- if I make a decision to use certificates should I use gateway server? (considering all servers and RMS are in same trusted domain)
any other suggestion?
Thanks in advance

Three agent UR versions gets installed from gateway - SCOM 2012 SP1 UR4

Hi,
We have a SCOM 2012 SP1 UR4 installation with several gateways that servers connect to and get installation from.
We noticed that when the agent get installed on a client server it gets first the agent itself, then UR1, UR2 and last UR4.
From the XML-section in the task that has installed the agent one can read the following:
SoftwareUpdateInstalled KB2784734-amd64-Agent.msp;KB2826664-amd64-Agent.msp;KB2880799-amd64-Agent.msp; SoftwareUpdateInstalled
Below is from the application log of a newly installed server that got the agent installed.
The question I have is if this is correct? Why are all three UR installed?
Shouldn't it be enough with the latest version of UR? Are they not cumulative?
Can I simply delete the older versions in the agent directory of the Gateway?

Hi,
This should be normal, as we can see in the below two articles. When applying Update Rollup 2, UR1 is listed there, and when applying Update Rollup 3, UR1 and UR2 is listed there also.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2013/04/11/applying-update-rollup-2-ur2-to-opsmgr-2012-sp1.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2013/09/27/applying-update-rollup-3-ur3-to-opsmgr-2012-sp1.aspx
For example, UR3 can be applied to System Center Operations Manager 2012 SP1 (as released) or a SCOM 2012 SP1 deployment that has had UR1 or UR2 already applied.

Where is unix/linux agent located on scom 2012 r2 server

hey there,
my boss tried to install scom unix agent manually, and asked me where the unix agent located on scom 2012 r2 server.
Is it "GetOSVersion.sh" the one he looks for? If it is not, then wherw it is located
I'm a Windows guy and have no idea what that .sh file is. Please help~~

The "GetOSVersion.sh" is a script that is first executed when you try to push an agent out to
a unix/linux server. It then tells SCOM what version of the agent it needs to download and install.
As for the location:
Management Server: \System Center Operations Manager\Server\AgentManagement\UnixAgents\DownloadedKits
Gateway Server: \System Center Operations Manager\Gateway\AgentManagement\UnixAgents\DownloadedKits
I suggest to push the agent out vs manual install as you then don't need to worry about manually signing certificates/installing agent. Its saves considerable amount of
time and your then managing your agents from a central location.
Oh and as Steve mentioned make sure you download the Unix Management pack bundle (MPB) and not from the online catalog. This is due to the MPB is what actually contains the agents where as the catalog is just the management packs.
Cheers,
Martin

SCOM 2012 SP1 UR4 management servers grey state

Hi,
My SCOM environment is made up of the below :-
SCOM 2012 SP1 UR4.
3 SCOM Management Servers all on Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
Shared SQL 2008 cluster with 2 Windows nodes also on same OS.
Just recently all our SCOM management servers have been flipping in and out from grey to green state. Gateways/agents all look ok as showing green. Alerting from agents appears normal as can see lots of them in console.
Have flushed the health state cache folder on all 3 SCOM MS's and still the same issue.
Appreciate any help on this one.

Event id: 7011 - Was your server recently patched (Installed by any automatic updates) ?
IS SCCM Configured in your MS? If Yes disable and check?
Is Windows update service running ? Stop if for one or two days and check if this issue still appears

For Event id 20026 -
1. Does your Operationsmanager database have enough space ? Check that first.
What is you DB size ?
How much is the free space left ?
2. Was there any resent change in the SCOM Action accoutn password ? Or has the password expired. Try re entering the SCOM Action password by re directing your self to Administration tab --> Run as Config -- > Accounts --> SCOM Action account.
The description would be - This is the user account under which all rules run by default on the agent.
Right click and go to properties and re enter the account name and password there and check.

Where exactly is the 8i JVM?

I installed iAS 1.0.1 for NT, and chose the standard edition. This supposedly means that I should have gotten the 8i JVM, among other things.
But where exactly is the VM located? The only copy of java.exe that I can find within the Oracle directory is here:
\oracle\ora81\apache\jdk\bin
But that java.exe doesn't work. If I'm at a command prompt, and go to that directory and type:
java -version
then I get an error message about being unable to find jvm.dll.
I do have a jvm.dll on my system, but it wasn't placed there by Oracle; it's in the Java 1.3 directory that I installed separately. Am I supposed to copy that DLL to the place where Oracle's apache\jdk\bin\java.exe is looking for it?
Or did the Oracle installer fail to install jvm.dll?
Or am I barking up the completely wrong tree, and should I be looking elsewhere for the 8i vm?
null

The 8i JVM is actually inside the database. You generally won't find a java.exe or jvm.dll which conforms to what you might come to expect when it's outside the database. In doing this, Oracle tried to make it more scalable (each Oracle session, for example, has it's own "virtual" JVM which starts at 4k and grows on demand).
The iAS JVM, on the other hand, is more of what you'd consider a standard JVM. Going forward, there may be some things which iAS will support that the database JVM will not, as the database is really just for plain vanilla classes, rather than J2EE components.
Hope this helps,

SCOM 2012 collect Windows Audit logs and forward them to a Linux Syslog server

Hello:
1. We have a SCOM 2012 server.
2. We have SNARE agents for PCI systems, but now we want to save money by gathering all events for all Windows servers using its native features.
3. We also have a centralized Linux server running SYSLOG which aggregates the logs to our Dell LogVault retention appliance (for PCI purposes)
Thus, my question:
In effort to remove the SNARE agents from the windows servers, can we implement Audit Collections Services (ACS) in the windows environment so that they collect/forward audit/event logs to the SCOM 2012 server and then SCOM forwards the events to the centralized
syslog Linux server? In which case they are aggregated to the Dell appliance.
We prefer to use the Linux syslog as the centralized log server but would like to know how to go about implementing the solution above.
Many thanks,
Robert Perez-Corona

Where exactly are the media files kept now?

It used to be simple, the media files were all in the Final Cut Events folders and if you trashed them they were gone.
However, now that I have updated my 10.0.9 projects and events to 10.1, I apparently have identical media files in the "Old Final Cut Projects and Events" folder together with the new Library.
I believe that some of these are symbolic, but which ones?
If I delete something from the "Old Final Cut Projects and Events" folder, will it still be present in the new Library . . . . . and vice versa?
What if I delete both lots?
Where exactly are my old media files?

It's a tricky bit of engineering. If you updated the projects and events and the media was already in the events then the media will appear to be in both plays simultaneously, but only taking the drive space of one. If you delete the old events, the drive space will not go down because the media is still on the hard drive.
Here's the thing, when we say a media file is in a folder, it's not physically in the folder. It's somewhere on your hard drive, wherever there was space when the file was written to the drive. The file structure says they're in a folder or move from folder to folder, but in reality they never move. Only the directory structure changes. That's what's happening here. Both folders, old events, new libraries are pointing to same space on your physical hard drive where the media files are living. Both are holding the media files in their directory. If you delete them both the media will disappear from the directories and that drive space will be freed and eventually get physically overwritten as more stuff is written on the drive.

Where exactly does the path in Tomcat start?

I am trying to create a jsp page that outputs a random image. The jsp page is directly in ROOT. The image files are in ROOT/img/random/.
What I did was write a simple java class(not a servlet) to read the contents of random and then just randomly choose an image in that file. This class is in ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/com/utilities/, where the package is com.utilities.
My question is what is the proper path to the images so the java program can read its contents?
null

Thanks, but that really doesn't answer my question.Then ask your real question, because that's the right
answer.
I
need File to be able to access files under Tomcatand
no matter what path I try it can't read it.exists()
always returns false. I just need to know the path.I
will eventually move it out of ROOT, but theproblem
I am having will still exist in any other folder
under webapps.Wrong, wrong, wrong.Right, right, right. How do I know this? Because I tried it
>
I tried to put this outside of ROOT, but Tomcatwill
not automatically redirect to that page, using the
instructions at the Tomcat site for changing the
default start page. Neither does using a simplehtml
page to redirect.The correct way to access a file in a web context is
to use the servlet context and its
getResourceAsStream method. That way you can find it
as long as it's in the CLASSPATH. Put the file in
your WEB-INF/classes directory and you'll be able to
read it. It'll work in a WAR file or in exploded
mode. It's portable, too.This is wrong. I put that image file in classes, guess what? It still can't read the file!!!!

SCOM 2012 R2 Post upgrade issues

Hey all,
yesterday we upgraded our SCOM environment from 2012 SP1 to R2. All of the installers ran fine without any issues. After a couple reboots it was back up however we have run into some issues.
Issue 1: The ACS seems to be broken. I can usually run a query on the ACS database manually and get back audit entries. However, now I am getting nothing back at all. Here are the errors that are repeated every few minutes on both
management servers. I did run the ACS upgrade on them both yesterday.
Error occured on database connection:

ODBC Error: 14
ODBC State: 01000
Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).

Database: Register

Statement: -
Issue 2: Our UNIX agents are all greyed out now and when I try to upgrade them I get the following error.
EDIT: and here is something else I just found on our other management server
Any info would be great
Thanks
Warm Fuzzies!

I am going to update this post. The service is still crashing nightly. The views dvAll, dvAll5 and dvHeader are not being created. I tried the fix provided by the Microsoft rep and it did nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
the ACS server multiple times and the views are never created. When I start the ACS services I get the same errors.
AdtServer encountered the following problem during startup:
Task: Load Certificate
Failure: Certificate for SSL based authentication could not be found. SSL authentication will be disabled
Error: 0x00000002
Error Message:
The system cannot find the file specified.
Error occured on database connection:

Statement:
I see where the forwarders are connecting. No other errors or messages. The service is set to start up as the Network Services account. The DOMAIN\SERVER$ has a logon and is mapped to the SQL user AdtServer on the OperationsManagerAC database.
We have almost a terabyte of data that we cannot get to after the R2 upgrade.
Very frustrating!!!!

SCOM 2012 RTM CU3 upgrade error

I tried to install CU3 on a 2012 RTM server and after installation the Health Service will not start. It was installed by Windows Update as I figured Microsoft would not push it there unless tested.
I get the following errors in the OpsMgr Log:
Event ID: 20056: Failed to initialize the IPC channels for other processes to communicate. The HealthService might fail to start
Event ID:2000: The Management Group MG failed to start. The error message is 0x80131501(0x80131501). A previous message with more detail may have been logged.
Data Access Service and Configuration Service are running fine. Anyone else seen this or have an idea on how to solve it?

To resolve this issue use either of the following methods:
1. Use Gacutil /u with the dllname that was added then restart the computer. Gacutil is available from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ex0ss12c(VS.80).aspx
or
2. Navigate to C:\windows\assembly and look for the dll affected, right click on this DLL, and select Uninstall.
Once you do either of these, the management group should start and the events should no longer be logged.
More Info: The global assembly cache is located at c:\windows\Assembly see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yf1d93sz(vs.71).aspx for details.

BAM HA (clustering) Question - Where to run the IIS services?

Referring to the BAM HA guide I have a set up similar to what is recommended for a "medium" sized installation:
Cluster 1 with two nodes running ADC, Event Service, Enterprise Link, IIS
Cluster 2 with two nodes running the Report Service, IIS
The question is which cluster should be the target for users and which should be the target for BPEL sensor actions?
Right now I have individual users pointed to cluster 2 and the BPEL processes pointed to cluster 1. I originally did it this way because the ADC is on cluster 1 and I thought that performance might be better from the BPEL web service call (for sensor actions) perspective, since that is where my primary load is coming from. Doing this seems requires IIS running on all nodes, which to me seems incorrect. If I point everything users, report users, and BPEL sensor actions to cluster 2 is that more correct (i.e. better balancing of load) ?
Thanks!

Thanks for the hint with /var/run/daemons
On the other hand this solves my problem only partially, because using the /etc/rc.d/Serv start method I cannot see the proper order in which the services were started and at what point they failed.
