How to Install Microsoft Operations Manager
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
This topic provides steps for installing Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 in a Commerce Server 2007 enterprise deployment. The MOM server components include the MOM database, Management server, and user interfaces: the MOM Administrator console and the MOM Operator console. For the latest information about how to install MOM, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=57255.
To install Microsoft Operations Manager
Configure a non-clustered database server, see How to Configure a Database Server.
Verify that both the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) and the SQL Server Agent (SQLSERVERAGENT) services are started and configured to start automatically when the computer starts.
Log on to the computer on which you want to install MOM by using an account that has administrative credentials. This account must have at least "DBO" permissions on the master and msdb databases on an instance of SQL Server.
Insert the Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 product CD into the CD drive.
On the MOM 2005 product CD, double-click setup.exe.
In the Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Setup Resources dialog box, on the Setup Tasks tab, click Install Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 to start the MOM 2005 Setup Wizard.
On the Installation Options page, click Typical, and then click Next.
The Prerequisite Check page indicates whether you have met all the requirements for installing the MOM components.
On the SQL Server Database Instance page, select the server instance in the SQL Server database instance list on which you want to install the MOM database.
On the Database and Log File Options page, type the initial size of the MOM database, The default setting is 1 GB (1,000 MB). To change the default installation location of either the data file or the log file, click Advanced, and then click the appropriate Change button.
By default, the MOM 2005 Setup Wizard installs the data file and log file on the same hard disk drive. For the best performance, we recommend that you change this setting to install the data file and log file on different hard disk drives. We also recommend that you do not install either the data file or the log file on the same hard disk drive that the operating systems paging file is installed on.
The minimum supported size for the MOM database is 300 MB. The maximum supported size for the MOM database is 30 GB. For the best performance, we recommend that you use a smaller size database if it is possible. It is a best practice to maintain the database size between 12 GB and 15 GB.
The MOM 2005 Setup Wizard automatically sets the size of the log file to 20 percent of the size of the data file. For example, if you set the data file size to be 2 GB, the MOM 2005 Setup Wizard automatically sets the log file size to be 400 MB.
On the Management Group Name page, type the name that you want to use for the management group. This name represents the database. You can use a name that consists of alphanumeric characters of your choice, but each management group name should be unique in the MOM environment. A best practice for large systems is to use a naming convention to establish the management groups.
On the Management Server Action Account page, type the account that you want the Management server to use to push-install agents on remote computers. If you use this account to push-install agents on remote computers, it must have administrative permissions on all target computers. If you do not use this account to push-install agents, this account can be a local user account.
On the Data Access Server Account page, type the domain account that you want MOM to use to log on to and communicate with the MOM database.
On the MOM Error Reporting page, select Enable error reporting.
If you want MOM to automatically send service error reports to Microsoft, enable error reporting. We recommend that you use the default Automatically send error reports to Microsoft option. If you select the Queue error reports and let me approve sending them to Microsoft option, MOM stores error reports on the computer where they occur. The next time that you log on to that computer, a dialog box appears that you can use to send the accumulated reports.
On the Active Directory Configuration page, select the appropriate option for your environment and for this management group. If all computers for this management group are in Active Directory directory service domains that trust one another, click Yes so that MOM can use mutual authentication for all communication between Management servers and agents. Otherwise, click No.
On the Ready to Install page, click Install.
On the Setup Complete page, select Start the MOM Administrator console if it is not already selected, and then click Finish.
