SCOM Zombie PSA#14: Deploying OpsMgr 2012 Beta Attempt # ONE!

• This is my first attempt installing Operations Manager 2012 Beta. I have all my pre-requisite completed. Now lets launch this installation application.
• I have to say it was so much more easier to install than 2007 R2. Bravo Microsoft.

• Legal License read and checked

• I want to install it all

• Expand each of the items to read up on what it is you’re installing and any requirements that are needed.

• another screen shot expanded on the funtions

• Since I do not install applications on my OS drive, I have established a number of drives that I will use.

• The first time I ran this, the system identified that my server needed to reboot. I rebooted and ran the setup again.

• Simple enough,

• Applied my server name, and since I am using the default instance, it was smart enough to verify it.
• Changed my drive locations for the database and log files for the Operational Database.

• Isn’t this special, I’ve done the same thing for the Data Warehouse. I’ve notice that there is also an option to either create a new database or use one from another management group.

• I wanted to show this screen, since I encountered it during my first attempt. If you hover your rat over the red X, it will inform you what is broken. Resolve it and try again.

• Once I started my SQL Server Agent service,I re-ran this again and passed.

• Default is fine for my environment.

• This installation I used the default, but choose what you’re requirements call for.

• Make sure you expand on these and apply your accounts and passwords.

• Because I am “Pro Support”, why not?

• Final step, a summary of what is going to be installed, verify and correct if you goofed somewhere.

• And Go!

• Done, Duh!

• And GO!

• Not too many things are popping out at me during my first look except these. Or at least I don’t recall seeing them in 2007 R2
• Administrator > Resource Pools
• Administrator > Run As Configurations > UNIX/Linux Accounts
• Monitoring > New View
• the blasted Default Management Pack seems to be gone from the View, as it was report at MMS2011. BUT it is still in the Management Packs.
• Now it’s time to play
