SNMP Monitoring behind SCOM Gateway Server

Hi All
Is it possible to monitor Network devices / SNMP that sit behind a SCOM Gateway server? If so, how do these get discovered?
I have a need to monitor devices like HP printers, WAP, JetDirect cards, EPOS equipment etc. on a site that doesn't have SCOM on-premise.
Are there any limitations to this?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, it is possible. when you create discovery, you may specify that it should run from gateway server.
On the device you want to monitor, set your SNMP public community string to point to the IP address of the SCOM Gateway server. In the SCOM Administration console, choose Network Devices in the Discovery Managment Wizard choose network device and click next.
In the next screen enter the IP address of the network device you want to monitor and under the mangment server drop down choose the gateway server who’s IP you entered in the SNMP string earlier.
Here is a similar thread for you reference:

In addition, you may check is there any management pack for your devices and import them into your management group.

Certificate Template - SCOM Gateway Server

Hi
I am using AD Domain level 2003 in my organization. Is there any particular requirement for certificate template to provide authentication between SCOM Management server and SCOM Gateway server.
I tried a lot but I am getting authentication issues.
Any solution would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

SCOM Gateway Server Upgrade from 2012 SP1 to R2

Hi,
I am upgrading our SCOM environment from 2012 SP1 to R2. But unable to upgrade the Gateway Server. The installation of R2 setup stops with error message: "The operation manager gateway can't be installed on a computer on which the Operation Manager
management server, Operations Console, operational database, web console, agent, System Center Essentials, or System Center Service Manager is already installed."
I checked none of the above component is installed on the gateway server. Please suggest what is the issue?
Regards,
Daya Ram

Hi,
Have you followed the steps below to upgrade a gateway server:
Log on to a computer that hosts the gateway server with an Operations Manager Administrators role account for your Operations Manager management group.
On the Operations Manager media, run Setup.exe.
In the Optional Installations area, click Gateway management server.
On the Welcome to the System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager Gateway Upgrade Wizard page, click

SCOM Gateway Server Issue

Hi All
I am having an issue related with my LAB Gateway server with SCOM 2012 SP1
I am having 2 Management server and 3 gateway server in my LAB. Now I am trying to install a new Gateway server. But its not showing in Management server list. Its showing as a SCOM Client. have any one faced this issue or any idea.
Your earlier response is appreciated.

Hi,
Whether the gateway server is listed under pending management, if it is, try to remove it from here before running the approval.
Please also go through the below similar thread for more details:
SCOM 2012 R2 Gateway installation error and no System Center Management server after install
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ce6d0a73-c31d-4c26-85d4-d3cce35d48c3/scom-2012-r2-gateway-installation-error-and-no-system-center-management-server-after-install?forum=operationsmanagerdeployment
Please follow the below steps:
1) Validate that the gateway server can ping the Management Server that it will need to communicate with and can telnet to port 5723. Also validate that the OpsMgr Management Server can ping the Gateway server. If traffic doesn’t route between these systems,
or they cannot resolve each others names, or they cannot communicate on port 5723 the Gateway will not function.
2) Install the gateway server from the OpsMgr media (Gateway management server).
When installing, choose the Management Server that we have determined will be the primary Management Server for gateway servers in the environment and configure the gateway to run as local system.
3) Next if required in the OpsMgr console we delete the agent from pending management if it appears in that view.
4) Perform the approval of the gateway by transferring the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.GatewayApprovalTool.exe from the installation media to the appropriate path to run it from (c:\program files\System Center Operations Manager 2012\Server is the default
location)

SNMP monitoring of Web Proxy server fails

The MIB (...private.enerprises.netscape.http...) that should be provided by the proxy sub agent is not available.
The Web proxy SNMP sub agent (ns-proxyagt) terminate its SMUX connection with the master agent (magt) when a SNMP GET is sent from a NMS system.
The agent starts and register itself as a peer as it seems correctly (smuxTreeTable/smuxTsubTree)
but when it recieves a GET request on a entry that should be provided by the sub agent MIB, the peer entries are removed and the TCP connection goes to CLOSE_WAIT. Both the master agent and the sub agent continues to run.
The system is runing on:
Solaris 9
Sun ONE Web Proxy server / version 3.6 SP3

I don't have a fix for you, but I have seen this before on my devices running SP6 also.
What i have taken up doing is restarting the master and subagent via cron every two hours.

SCOM Agents in DMZ via Gateway Server

I need to monitor all the web servers in our DMZ by placing a Gateway Server between them and SCOM RMS.
Jus a simple Question I have ................do I need to install certificates on all my web servers in DMZ to talk to SCOM Gateway Server or not????
If I need certificates on all my DMZ webservers then what is the purpose of a gateway server?
thanx

Hi There,
The certificate installation depends on the scenario.
Scenario 1# If the Gateway server is in domain but, the servers in DMZ are not part of domain. We need certificate for each server to create Trust with Gateway server. Otherwise Gateway may not authenticate agent servers due to domain mismatch. And AD authentication
is must while installing Agents.
Scenario 2# If the Gateway Server and Agent Servers are in same domain in DMZ. In this scenario we need to have certificate only for Agent Servers not for Agent Servers, as the agents will be authenticated using AD (due to same domain).
Scenario 3# If none of the Gateway server or Agent Server are in Domain. This case we need to issue certificate for each Server, including Gateway Server. This scenario the Gateway server will work as a mediator for communication only(in a Manner of speaking).
Be sure that Gateway server concept can be avoided with servers DMZ and not in domain, but this will increase the security risk by authorizing multiple endpoint rules in firewall.
Below link will give you more info about Gateway servers and its uses.

Hello Yan Li,
I read your link, and I found this :
The network devices must be discovered and registered as ICMPSNMP devices.
And when I make the dicovery the first time, ICMP doesn't work, so I put only SNMP. This morning I tried with ICMP and SNMP, but the same problem come to me. And I found the rootcause of the problem with this post : http://www.code4ward.net/main/Blog/tabid/70/EntryId/105/Troubleshooting-Network-Discovery-in-SCOM-2012.aspx
I allowed the SNMP service, ping, and Health Service, just after I try a second time to dicover my device and it's work (ICMP and SNMP).
I recreat all my management pack and the rule. And now it's work! Thank you very much for your help!!
Have a nice day
Best regards

Gateway server NICs question

Hi,
I want to deploy a SCOM gateway server, but I am not sure, would this server have multi homed NICs? IE a NIC in the LAN and a NIC in the DMZ/WAN.
Thanks

SCOM doesn't need 2 NIC, It work with 1 NIC. Scom Gateway used to allow monitoring in another forest.

Gateway server and Management server in SCOM 2012

What are the main Different between Gateway server and Management server in SCOM 2012?
I have referred this , is there anything ?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2008/02/19/10-reasons-to-use-a-gateway-server.aspx

1) Management server can write data , gathered from agent, directly into operations manager database. Gateway server should forward data, collected from managed agent to management server.
2) In a unturst environment for example workgroup or untrust domain, and you do not want to deploy a certificate to every monitored agent, you should deploy gateway server rather than managment server.

SCOM 2012 SP1 - Setup SNMP monitoring = ping OK, no response SNMP.

Hello,
I've tried the snmp monitoring in lab domain, everthing work. Now I work in the production environment, but I can't make work the snmp. I've tried only snmp, but the same error occure. The Ping is ok, all my firewalls rules allows snmp and ping over
the domain.
But when I launche the discovery, I've got an error after "No Response SNMP". I've analized the network with wireshark, I see the snmp get send to scom to the network device, but the netowrk device, reply " Destionation unreachable (Port unreachable)".
I've check with "netstat -ano -p udp" but I don't see the port 162, the 161 is open and snmp.exe service use it. But 162 is not open and Healthservice.exe doesn't use it.
I tried to reboot the server, but nothing change. And I check all my configuration, and it's the same in my lab domain and te production.
Anybody have the same issue? Or a workaround?
Thank you in advance.
KimBaxZ

Hello Roger,
1. Windows Firewall
a. SNMP service authorized
b. SNMP trap not authorized
c. PING.exe authorized
d. HealthService.exe authorized
2. SNMP service configuration
a. Security => Community name + Right OK
b. Security => Accept SNMP packets from any host
3. SNMP trap service disabled
4. The network device (cisco switch is already configured and the snmp work well)
a. It's possible to execute a snmp walk on the switch, and we get all the data (we use a différents
computer to do this, like a linux server on the same network)
5. We use snmp v2 on the switch, and during the discovery scom, send v2c snmp get to the switch with the good community name.
6. I tried to forge a snmp v2 packet and send them to the scom server, wireshark see the packet
During the discovery the switch get the snmp request, but he can't reply, the snmp trap port (162) on the scom server is not open. And I don't know why.

Can xendesktop mp monitor Xendesktop infrastructure in a remote forest where only a gateway server available?

We have a SCOM2012R2 management group of which the management server(s) is/are in forestA, and there is a gateway server in forestB which has no two-way trust with forestA. We can monitor windows servers in forestB with no problems with Windows base OS management
Pack. Now, we want to manage Xendesktop infrastructure in forestB using ComTrade Xendesktop MP. The user guide comes with the MP does not mention whether the Xendesktop infrastructure has to be in the same forest where the management server (not gateway servr)
resides. However we are having issues in our scenario, at installing xendesktop management agent on DDCs, as well as unable to discover the Xendesktop topology. Anything we did wrong or the MP does not support the scenario?
Thanks in advance
