Operations Manager 2007 Virtualization Support
Microsoft supports running all Operations Manager 2007 components in any physical or virtual environment that meets the minimum requirements that are stated in this document. However, for performance reasons, Microsoft recommends against virtualizing the root management server (RMS), the OperationsManager database, and the OperationsDW database. There are some restrictions on virtualization functionality that can be used with Operations Manager 2007. Specifically, virtual computers running any Operations Manager 2007 component must not make use of any functionality where all activity on the virtual computer is not immediately committed to the virtual hard drive. This includes making use of point-in-time snapshots and writing changes to a temporary virtual hard drive. This is true no matter what virtualization technology is used with Operations Manager 2007.

Minimum Software Requirements
Operations Manager 2007 components require a supported operating system. For a list of the supported operating systems for each component, see the Supported Operating Systems section earlier in this document.
Important
During the initial installation of the operational database, only use Windows Authentication on the SQL server that hosts the Operations Manager operational database. Do not use Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication) because using SQL Server Authentication mode during the initial installation of the operational database can cause issues. Although enabling Mixed Mode security is possible on the SQL Server hosting the Operations Manager operational database, it is not supported as all contact with the database is accomplished using Windows accounts only.
Note the following database considerations for Operations Manager 2007:
Operations Manager 2007 does not support a 32-bit Operations Manager Operations database, Reporting Server data warehouse, or Audit Collection database, or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 64-bit operating system.
The use of SQL Server 2008 R2 is supported for new installations of Operations Manager 2007 R2 (See KB2425714 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=215404) for details) and SQL Server 2008 R2 database upgrades (See KB2449679 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=215802) for details).
The use of SQL Server 2008 SP3 is supported for Operations Manager 2007 R2 with CU5 applied. For more information, see the Supported Software Requirements for Operations Manager 2007 table below.
The use of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 is supported for Operations Manager 2007 R2 with Cumulative Update 7 applied. Note: Installation of reporting may fail with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2. If this occurs, follow the procedures in the Support article: Support for System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 that runs on a SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 3 is supported for Operations Manager 2007 R2 with Cumulative Update 7 applied.
Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager 2007 roles is not supported. The same version should be used for each role.
SQL collation for all databases must be SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS; no other collation configurations are supported.
The following table lists the minimum software requirements for each Operations Manager 2007 component beyond the operating system. If you want to install more than one component on the same computer, you must install the prerequisite software for all the combined components.

Run SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Open SQL Server Network Configuration.
Open Protocols for INSTANCE1 (or the instance that is running under it).
Open TCP/IP.
Click IP Addresses.
The port is under IPAll (usually the TCP Dynamic Ports).

Supported Cluster Configurations
Operations Manager 2007 supports the clustering configurations for Operations Manager server roles as shown in the following table:
Only Cluster service quorum node clusters are supported. Multisite clusters (geographically dispersed clusters) are supported for all Operations Manager 2007 cluster roles. You can use replication technology to help provide high availability for data in Operations Manager 2007, but the latency of communications between components introduce risks to data replication and might introduce failover issues. For best practices on multisite clustering see “Geographically Dispersed Clusters in Windows Server 2003” at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=151337 It is recommended that you use synchronous mirroring of data disks between sites, this means that the data is fully synchronized across all sites. This will ensure the correct behavior of applications in the event of failover across sites.
Important
Microsoft is not obligated to release a fix on any Operations Manager 2007 issue that cannot be reproduced in a non-multisite cluster environment. If an analysis determines that non-Microsoft components in the configuration are causing the issue, the customer must work with the appropriate vendor for those components.
| Server Role | Cluster | Notes |
|---|---|---|

Support for Languages in Addition to English
Operations Manager supports the following languages: English, German, French, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, Italian, and Portuguese (Brazil).
Supported components for different languages
If your systems run a language other than English, you can install Operations Manager 2007 for that language. You also have the option of installing English Operations Manager 2007 for your management group.
For instance, if you use a German version of a Windows operating system on all your servers, you can install German Operations Manager 2007 components for your entire management group. If you have a German version of a Windows operating system on all your servers, you can optionally install English Operations Manager 2007 components for your entire management group.
Agents for different languages
If you use an English management group, you can monitor any Windows Operating System Locale type.
If you use another language, you can monitor Windows operating systems for English and that language. For instance, if you use a German management group, you can monitor only English and German Windows operating systems.
Console for different languages
Operations Manager consoles are language independent. For example, you can use an Italian Operations Manager console to connect to a German management group.
