In this post series I will go through step by step installation and configuration of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 cluster as database.

Requirements:

- Create the following domain service accounts and group:

- Management Server Action Account (MSAA) : sysads\scom-msaa
- System Center Data Access and System Center Management Configuration: sysads\sda-config
- Operations Manager Administrator account: sysads\scom-admin
- Data Warehouse Reader: sysads\scom-dr
- Data Warehouse Write Action: sysads\scom-dw
- Operations Manager Administrators Group: sysads\scom-grp
- Add sysads\scom-admin as a member of sysads\scom-grp
- Add the following group and accounts to the local administrators group on each cluster nodes: sysads\scom-grp; sysads\sda-config; sysads\scom-msaa; scom-dr; scom-dw

Note: The above accounts created are service account exception of the admin account. The following must be enabled “User cannot change password” and “Password never expires”.

Database Guide: The installation of SCOM 2007 R2 databases will be carried out as outlined below:

1. Run the Prerequisite checks  for the Operations Manager and Data Warehouse database installation

2. Install the OperationsManager Database using the DBCreateWizard.exe tool

3. Install the OperationsManagerDW database using the DBCreateWizard.exe tool

Setup Guide:

1. Prerequisite Checks:

- Log on to the active node of the cluster. Ensure that the active node holds all the cluster groups and resources including the Data Transaction Coordinator.

- Open windows explorer and navigate to the SCOM setup files -> double-click on SetupOM.exe.

- On the System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Setup Start page -> click Check Prerequisites

- In the Components box, select the Operational Database and Data Warehouse options -> click Check

- Ensure that any warning or error is resolved before proceeding with the installation

- Close the Prerequisite Viewer

2. Install the OperationsManager Database: Since we are installing on SQL Server 2008 R2, the database must be installed by running the DBCreateWizard tool located in “<InstallationMedia>\SupportTools\AMD64″

- Log onto the active node -> Locate SCOM installation media and navigate to “<InstallationMedia>\SupportTools\AMD64″ -> Double-click on ‘DBCreateWizard’

- On the Welcome screen -> click Next

- Wait for the wizard to search for installed SQL instances -> On Database Information, select the instance where you want the database installed -> Specify the instance port if not default (1433) -> click Next

- On Management Group Configuration page -> Enter the Management Group Name -> Under User Group name, browse and select the scom group earlier created -> click Next

- On Error Reports page -> select your preferred option -> click next

- On Summary page -> review your settings -> click Finish

- The installer will begin creating the database

- Once the database creation is completed -> click Ok

3. Install the OperationsManagerDW Database:

- Still on the active node -> locate SCOM installation media and navigate to “<InstallationMedia>\SupportTools\AMD64″ -> Double-click on ‘DBCreateWizard’

- On the Welcome screen -> click Next

- Wait for the wizard to search for installed SQL instances -> On Database Information, select this time under data type “Operations Manager Data Warehouse Database” -> Specify the instance port if not default (1433) -> click Next

 - On Summary page -> review your settings -> click Finish

- Once the database creation is completed -> click Ok

In Part2, I will be looking at installing the Root Management Server (RMS)
