Upgrading System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager

Hello!
I have an existing deployment of System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager. I want to upgrade directly to SCVMM 2012 R2 (skipping the SCVMM 2012 SP1).
Is it possible?
If YES, then please provide the step-by-step upgrade roadmap.
I cannot find my desired upgrade on the link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn469623.aspx
Thank you very much.

Hi
No you first need to upgrade to SP1 and then go to R2.
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

  • Problem in the first run of "System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager – Evaluation (VHD)"

    Hi All,
    I need to evaluate the "System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager" so I downloaded the Evaluation VHD from this URL:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40844
    I downloaded all the 13x ISO images and used the supplied SC2012_R2_SCOM_EVALVHD.exe  to
    rebuild the VHD file. I am using Windows Server 2012 Standard.
    As indicated by the install instructions, I used “OM2012R2_VHDEval.docx"
    to create the Virtual Machine to run Operations Manager. Problems:
    1) when I first connected to the Virtual Machine just created in Hyper-V, there was a cmd window saying that was impossible to connect to the domain I provided. i think the domain was correct. Is this error a showstopper or the Operation Manager should be
    able to run anyway?
    2) To run Operation Manager on the Virtual Machine, the install guide says "On the desktop of the virtual machine, double-click the
    Operations Manager Console folder. Operations Manager Console
    folder provides access to different parts of Operations Manager. Double-click
    Operations Console to open the Operations Manager console."
    so I did click on the Operation Console icon but it says the file does not exist in the Virtual Machine. How is that possible if this is a prepackaged Virtual Machine ready to use for evaluation? I checked the pointed folder and actually inside "c:\Program
    Files" there is no System Center folder at all..?
    Any help would be much appreciated, I'm kind of lost at the moment and not sure how to get started with this (to me) new software.
    Thansk.

  • System Center 2012 R2 Config Manager requirements

    Looking to deploy System Center 2012 R2 and have been musing over system requirements. There was slight thud as my jaw hit the floor when I discovered a standalone primary environment (SQL installed on same server as Config Manager) required 32GB of memory!
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846235.aspx
    You would lucky if we had 200 clients. Am I really going to have to assign 32GB of my virtual hosts memory to the server?
    I had earmarked 8GB, will this suffice? What is the minimum I can get away with??
    Thanks in advance!
    Steve

    Thanks for the responses folks.
    One other question. I am aware that there are co-existence limitations with some of the other Server components (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn281928.aspx) but
    (bearing these in mind) can I install other components on my Configuration Manager Server? VMM for example.
    If the answer is yes, I would assume I would need even more resources on the Server as well?

    Steve

  • Team Foundation Server 2010 and System Center 2012 SP1 Operations Manager WorkItem Synchronization fail

    Hello,
    We are currently implementing a Devops solution with SCOM 2012 SP1 and TFS 2010 SP1 and we would like to synchronize APM alerts with TFS and the Operational Issue WorkItem. However we are not
    able to sync anything.
    Here is our environments :
    Products :
    SCOM
    System Center Operations Manager 2012 SP1
    French
    OS: Windows 2012 SP1 Std x64
    French
    DB: SCOM SQL Server 2012 SP1 x64
    Management Pack
    MP Operations Manager TFS Work Item Synchronisation 7.0.9538.0
    MP Alert Attachement 7.0.9538.0 (We have also try the version in the VM DEVOPSALL : 7.0.9538.1005)
    TFS
    Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1
    French 10.0.40219.1
    OS: Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Std x64
    French
    DB: TFS SQL Server 2008 x64
    TFS 2012 Object Model Installer (We have also try the version 2010)
    Here is our configuration :
    TFS Platform                                                                                                                              
    This a French platform with a project based on the Process Template SCRUM 1.0 alone in a Team Project collection. The Operational Issue import completed successfully. It’s possible to manipulate
    Operational Issue for all of its states from TFS.
    SCOM Platform
    We followed the documentation at :
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj883936.aspx
    to configure SCOM Alert Attachment and Operation Manager Tfs Work Item Synchronization. Everything seems to be ok. All configurations succeed. We did not configure Intellitrace collector.
    The problem occurs when we are trying to push an APM alert to TFS. When we assigned an alert to the Engineering nothing is synchronized in TFS. There is no error in the event viewer on the TFS
    server. But, on the SCOM server we get 2 exceptions raised by  Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Modules.Apm.TfsWISync.OMModules. We provide you the log of the SCOM Server in this mail.
    Detailed exceptions :

    Hi,
    To monitor the complete TFS infrastructure, you need additional monitoring packs that alert you about a wide range of problems with TFS components. When you import the TFS Work Item Synchronization management pack, it is a best practice to
    also import and configure these monitoring packs, you can double check these:

  • Error message while upgrading to System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator

    I recently tried upgrading System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 Orchestrator to System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator on a Windows Server 2012 instance, running in VMware Workstation. According to the Microsoft TechNet documentation, you basically remove all of
    the Service Pack 1 Orchestrator components, and then install the new R2 Orchestrator components.
    Management Service
    Runbook Service
    Orchestrator console and web service
    So, that's what I did. When it got to the point of running the Orchestration Console and Web Service installation, it failed.
    The relevant portion of WebComponents.msi log file indicates the following:
    MSI (s) (10:A8) [10:52:15:669]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIC647.tmp, Entrypoint: WriteIIS7ConfigChanges

    WriteIIS7ConfigChanges: Error 0x80090016: WriteIIS7ConfigChanges Failed.
    CustomAction WriteIIS7ConfigChanges returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

    Action ended 10:52:15: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
    Screenshot:
    So far, I have tried removing IIS and reinstalling it completely from scratch. That has made zero impact on the problem thus far. I posted this same issue over at
    Server Fault, but am adding it here for visibility.

    For anyone else, you may need to reset any failed jobs statusid back to 3 after you run the script from 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn299381.aspx (first
    issue)
    and after that run your jobs in correct order.
    I had to reset the statusid for DWMaintenence and common.load.

  • System Center 2012 R2 Requirements

    Hi guys,
    Currently I wish to use System Center 2012 R2 - Operations Manager Server to monitor my Hyper-V hosts (8 Physical Machines) and guests (50 Virtual Machines).
    Would also like to use System Center 2012 R2 - ConfigMgr to manage about 500 computers.
    Which Server 2012 edition and System Center 2012 R2 edition should I use?
    Thanks guys!!

    Hi,
    To monitor Hyper-v and VMs, we should import Hyper-v management pack.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36438
    This management pack is for Hyper-v 2012, it provides the following functionality:
    • Management of critical Hyper-V services that affect virtual machines and host server functionality
    • Management of host server logical disks that affect virtual machine health
    • Full representation of virtualization in a single Hyper-V host server, including virtual networks, and virtual machines
    • Monitoring of virtual machine hardware components that affect availability
    In addition, here is a smilar thread, please go through it:

    I just applied update:

    and (KB2965414) but it failed to install.
    After a reboot I could not login to the VMM and the service would not start

    FYI.  I've had the same issue after I installed Update Rollup 3 (KB2965413), seeing the exact same error on event log.  Tried to start the service manually, getting service unable to start error.  This is a machine running
    with Windows Server 2012 Standard.  Solution for me is simple. I just install
    KB2965414 (Update Rollup 3 for SCVMM 2012 R2), reboot the server, and the SCVMM service auto start up by itself. 

  • System Center Virtual Machine Manager SC VMM 2012 SP1 Installation fails: Unable to assign the name NO_PARAM to this host because this name is already in use.

    I'm trying to install VMM 2012 SP1 on a Windows Server 2012 machine and it fails with this error,
    the scenario is as follows,
    Old database (from 2012 RTM) exists on remote SQL 2012 SP1 server
    Server was 2008 R2 SP1 so I decided to make a fresh installation of 2012 with the same name
    installed ADK
    specific error: 01:42:13:VMMPostinstallProcessor threw an exception: Threw Exception.Type: Microsoft.VirtualManager.Setup.Exceptions.BackEndErrorException, Exception.Message: Unable to assign the name NO_PARAM to this host because this name is already in
    use.
    please help

    I had a similar problem today when upgrading from SCVMM 2012 RTM to SCVMM 2012 SP1 RTM. To re-create the issue you describe originally you can actually just uninstall SCVMM 2012 SP1 RTM with "retain data" option and re-install the software on the same
    computer (with the same name of course), attaching it to the retained DB. If you change the SCVMM server name I believe it will make some things go wrong after your install, like missing VM template passwords for example as the data gets encrypted in
    the DB. Maybe it didn't but I didn't risk it. I definitely know if you change service accounts on a scenario like this you will be without the encrypted DB data which isn't much fun. To avoid changing the computer name, if you look in the setup log
    files in %systemdrive%\ProgramData\VMMLogs\, specifically the SetupWizard.log file. You will see details on it failing because the same computer name is in the DB table "dbo.tbl_ADHC_AgentServer" and until it is removed from that table I wasn't able to get
    the install to complete at all. The error in my logs looked something like this "InnerException.Type: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException, InnerException.Message: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'unique_ADHC_AgentServer_ComputerName'. Cannot insert duplicate
    key in object 'dbo.tbl_ADHC_AgentServer'. The duplicate key value is (computername.is.writtenhere). The statement has been terminated." In the row data in the DB it also seems to suggest that the computer name had "Virtual Machine Manager Library Files" on
    it which is strange since I always remove the local SCVMM server as a library server after I install it and use an off box library server.

  • Interesting SCOM Reports and "Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 Reports" MP Issue , Some reports appear others don't

    Our test environment is quite simple one Operations Server 2012 R2; with the database and SSRS instance on another server; Service Manager 2012 is on it’s own virtual machine; and the Service Manager Data Warehouse on it’s own. I’ve been trying to demo chargeback
    with scvmm and I’m having issues with the chargeback reporting.
    I’ve followed this process to install chargeback reports:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj614406.aspx which
    completed successfully. All of the cubes seem to process correctly in Service Manager and I can create a chargeback analysis excel sheet with no issues in service manager. I still do not get any chargeback reports in the Operations console though. I get some
    reports under the “Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 Reports” heading like Capacity, Host Group Forecasting, Host Utilization, etc but no chargeback report.
    I can see the chargeback report in the SSRS website but cannot get it to appear in the Operations console. If anyone has any tips or troubleshooting they can point me at I would appreciate it.
