SCOM cluster monitoring

Hi all,
recently a client of mine complained that he wasn't alerted on a cluster service that stopped on some of his machines. i checked and found the reason was that i do not have the windows server 2012 cluster management monitoring MP installed.
when googling for it, i got to: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=2268
but from what i understand, this MP is for all servers type (2003, 2008). i have 2003/8 installed, only need 2012. if i go ahead and install this MP, will it just upgrade the versions of the 2003/8 MPs? can that hurt me somehow? i mean like cause subscriptions
not to work or whatever.
thanks,
Uri

Hi Uri,
From the guide:
"If you have version 6.0.6277.0 of the Windows Server 2003 Cluster Management Pack:
If you have installed the Windows Server 2003 Cluster Management Pack 6.0.6277.0, remove the following management pack files prior to importing this management pack:
Microsoft.Windows.2003.Cluster.Management.Monitoring
Microsoft.Windows.2003.Cluster.Management.Library
Microsoft.Windows.Cluster.Management.Monitoring
Microsoft.Windows.Cluster.Management.Library
If you have any other version of the Windows Server Failover Cluster Management Pack, you can upgrade the management pack without performing the previous steps.
An in-place upgrade is supported for Windows Server 2003 Cluster Management Pack versions 6.0.6277.1 and higher."

Where do I find 'MQ Cluster Monitor' and 'Message Queue Universal Client' ?

This video on mq.dev.java.net uses two utilities called the 'MQ Cluster Monitor' and the 'Message Queue Universal Client'. The narrator says that these are 'shipped with the Message Queue product'.
I dont see the utilities in my Open MQ installation. What am I missing ?

SCOM to monitor Windows Service

Hi ,
SCOM can monitor process level information (memory/cpu/is your service running/restart if it is not) of a windows service . But what our experts say is SCOM cannot get the code-level details for performance issues(for Windows Service) like you
see on the SCOM AppDiagnostics site for the web applications/web services.Suppose if we want to get the specific dll or the function hitting the performance .
Please suggest If SCOM is able to achieve code-level details for performance issues of Windows service also.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Deepak Upreti

Hi Deepak,
I donnot think that any one have guide on how to.
If have I have do it, the I will use the Diagnostic Taks, where I will call some SysInternals tools(Process
Explorer or Process Monitor) to collect data.
That is the best I can do for you.

Cluster Monitoring showing 'n/a' for most columns for some servers

Hi. The Cluster Monitoring tab shows 'n/a' for the Primaries, Secondary Distributions, Fragments Sent/Received and Lost Multicast messages for three of four servers in the cluster.
          However, there are no errors in the log files, even when Multi-cast debug is enabled.
          Any ideas?
          Thanks for any help.

have you done the multicast test ?, please check the multicast ip given to make sure that no one used that ip and port.

SCOM cluster disk space monitor

Hi Guys,
Can we monitor the cluster disks thresholds by taking the samples as we do in the logical disks??
Because i cannot see that option coming in the cluster disk space monitor when i am overriding the monitor.There is no option for the number of samples coming in that. I want the monitor to check the utilization three times and if it exceeds then generate
an alert.
Thanks
Ashish

Hi,
As you mentioned, threre is no option for the number of samples, you may need to rewrite the MP.

SCOM only monitoring disk space of a group of servers

I have been looking for a way to setup SCOM to ONLY monitor the disk space on a specific group of servers.
We have a sandbox environment that consists of approximately 100 servers. The only responsibility we have is to make sure these machines are patched. Everything else related to the OS and Software is handled by the developers who own the sandbox,
so no other monitors are needed. Microsoft patches are failing because some of the C drives do not have enough disk space. Is there a way to discover these servers and only have the disk monitored? All other monitors in SCOM can be ignored on these
servers.
Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.

Without knowing what else you have in your SCOM environment, it could be a lot of work to start excluding this group of servers from all the other monitoring you have.
Other options you could consider are to allow the servers to be monitored, but somehow exclude those alerts from being sent in any subscriptions, or putting the components of those servers into Maintenance Mode other than the C: drives, but both of these
options will still collect information on these 100 servers and take space in your SCOM DBs.
You can refer to this page for how to use the free space monitor and override it for a group that will target your 100 servers. http://blogs.technet.com/b/jonathanalmquist/archive/2009/04/04/logical-disk-free-space-monitor.aspx

SCOM 2012 monitoring IIS - windows updates generate SCOM alerts

We are using SCOM 2012 to monitor our environment. There is a logic implemented to suppress alerts (using maintenance mode) when Windows Updates cause system reboot.
We followed:<o:p></o:p>
http://operatingquadrant.com/2009/08/15/scom-automatically-starting-maintenance-mode-when-servers-are-rebooted-for-patching/<o:p></o:p>
Basically when in system event log event id 1074 appears then system is put in Maintenance mode. There is a problem with some IIS web servers - they
generate a lot of alerts when Windows Updates are installed (e.g. Microsoft Windows Internet Information Services 2003 Application Pool is Unavailable)
and before windows reboot. In details:
5:08 AM - Windows update installation in event log (event id 19)e.g.
Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed the following update: Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on Windows Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008 x86 (KB2972106)
5:09 AM - SCOM generates alerts: Microsoft Windows Internet Information Services 2003 Application Pool is Unavailable
5:17 AM - event id 1074: The process winlogon.exe has initiated the restart of computer. SCOM put this server in Maintenance mode.
After 5:17 AM no more alerts generated by SCOM
We cannot change our logic and put system in maintenance mode based on event ID 19 (windows update installation) because there are a
lot of event ID 19 events generated almost every day. So we do not want to put our server in maintenance mode each time when windows updates are installed. Just when windows update installation cause some IIS features stops. Any idea?

SCOM-2012 monitoring queries

Hi Experts.
Based on your experiences and suggestions I achieved lot on SCOM design. I have few queries about Monitoring.
(a) Can we push agents in work-group servers using SCOM management console or we need manual installation.
(b) Is SCOM capable enough to monitor Non-Windows platform which are part of work-group or we need to import MPs for Linux/Unix/Oracle/Jboss/Apache?
(c) Can we monitor/intimate/alert to monitoring team if new machine is a member of domain and monitoring is not started (may be agent is not pushed). Lets consider a newly installed/configure server but not added in monitoring system. Can SCOM detect new
domain member and send alert saying this machine is not yet monitored.
(d) What is the best way to use Certificate for work-group servers. PKI or local Certs? How to handle certificate expiry issue? Need to follow all steps again?
Thanks.

Hi,
a) No, you can't push. Also - you must install and configure a certificate - it's a manual process too.
b) You need to import MP for everything you want to monitor. No MP - no monitoring. *nix MPs are not imported by default.
c) Technically - yes, you can. But you have to develop your own management pack for this task.
d) you can't use self-signed certificates. You need to by a certificates from the commercial CA or deploy your own CA.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/certificate-enrollment-for-system-center-operations-manager-agent.aspx
>Need to follow all steps again?
Yes, you need to renew a certificate.

Cluster Monitoring didn't show all the managed servers in cluster .

Hi
We have below configuration :
domain :- 6 clusters
each cluster :- 3 managed servers (managed servers are on different physical boxes)
when monitoring the cluster we can see
for ms1 it shows : ms1,ms2 but not ms3
for ms2 it shows : ms1,ms2 but not ms3
for ms3 it shows : ms1,ms2,ms3
ms3 is Running.
Why ms1 and ms2 are not able to see ms3? This is happening with all the clusters.ms1 and ms2 are not able to see ms3.
Is the reason that heart beat messages are not received by ms1 and ms2 even though ms3 is running?
Is this because network issue?
Is it that if JVM is busy doing full Gc then it ignores Hearbeat messages. ?
Please correct me if i ma wrong.
Thanks in advance.. :)

Hi,
Did u check if the server MS3 was running .. also did u see any exception/error/warn message in the system.out log.
regards,
Zeno

What is the Action account type to be created to Workgroup agents in SCOM for monitoring them

Hi All,
I have newly deployed 20 Workgroup Windows server 2008 R2 DMZ machines in our SCOM 2007 R2. We have deployed it using certificates and ever thing is working fine except for the below.
I keep getting the below alert saying "Run as account login check failed" on all the 20 agents.
So i want to know what type of Run as account is to be created for monitoring the Workgroup agents from the below list ?
Also to which all Run as profile do i need to add the account post creating the Run as account so i the agent is fully being monitored ?
Gautam.75801

Hey
Gautam.75801, I use Action Account. As mentioned also make sure your distribute the Action account to the workgroup computers and update the default action account as Roger mentioned.
Cheers,
Martin

CCMS on Windows cluster - monitor database disks

Hi all,
We have BI7.0 system on windows cluster and ORACLE database. In default ccms doesn't monitor the storage disks (not local disks). SoI've followed the instructions of note 536954 and installed SAPCCMSR in cluster database group to be able to monitor this disks.
However in RZ20->filesystem I see the new instance (virtual name of the database) but still see only local disks. Any idea ?
Please advice,
Dimitry Haritonov

anyone ?
it´s weekend
sapccms makes the data available, the filesystem data itself is collected by saposcol. Do you use the newest version?
