Upgrading from Operations Manager 2007 SP1 to R2

Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2

Use the following procedures to upgrade an Operations Manager 2007 SP1 environment to Operations Manager 2007 R2.

Important

Before you follow any of these procedures, make sure that you have completed all of the tasks outlined in Preparing to Upgrade Operations Manager 2007.

The procedures listed in this section are presented in the order in which they must be completed. Most procedures must be completed on the computer that hosts the component being upgraded.

Upgrading System Center Desktop Error Monitoring to System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2

Start with Microsoft System Center Desktop Error Monitoring SP1 (build 6278). Upgrade to System Center Desktop Error Monitoring R2 by using the System Center Desktop Error Monitoring SetupOM.exe and following the instructions in this guide. After you upgrade to System Center Desktop Error Monitoring R2, you can convert to System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 by starting Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 SetupOM.exe.

Upgrade Evaluation Copies

To upgrade to the licensed version of Operations Manager 2007 R2, you must run the Setup Wizard by double-clicking SetupOM.exe on the root management server.

Upgrade the Root Management Server to Operations Manager 2007 R2

You can upgrade the root management server (RMS) by using either the standard setup interface or the command-line tool. Procedures for upgrading an RMS that is installed on a single server and for an RMS that is a located on a cluster are provided.

The procedure to upgrade the RMS from Operations Manager 2007 SP1 to Operations Manager 2007 R2 is performed locally on the RMS or locally on the nodes of the cluster that contains the RMS. In both procedures, the Operations Manager database is also upgraded, even when the Operations Manager database is on a server that is separate from the server that hosts the RMS. If you intend to install an agent on the server that hosts the stand-alone Operations Manager database, you must run SetupOM.exe on the server before you install the agent. See the topic “To upgrade the stand-alone Operations Manager database prior to installing an agent” later in this guide. The additional procedures that verify whether the upgrade is successful are optional.

Note

Prior to upgrading to Operations Manager R2, it is necessary to install WS-Management v1.1. WS-MAN is required for monitoring UNIX or Linux computers. The Operations Manager 2007 WS-Management module depends on WS-Management protocol. This is required for all server and gateway components.

Note

Close all Operations Manager consoles before proceeding with the upgrade.

To upgrade the root management server and OperationsManager database

  1. Log on to the computer that hosts an RMS with an account that is a member of the Operations Manager Administrators role for your Operations Manager 2007 SP1 management group and a local administrator on the computer.

  2. Insert the Operations Manager 2007 R2 media.

  3. At the root of the media, double-click SetupOM.exe.

Perform this procedure to upgrade the Audit Collection Services (ACS) Collector from Operations Manager 2007 SP1 to Operations Manager 2007 R2 locally on the ACS Collector. During this procedure, the ACS database is also upgraded with no additional steps.

Note

A computer that hosts an ACS Collector must also be an Operations Manager management server or gateway. You must upgrade the management server components before you upgrade the ACS Collector component.

To upgrade an ACS Collector

  1. Log on to the computer that hosts the ACS Collector with an Operations Manager Administrators role account for your Operations Manager 2007 SP1 management group.

  2. Open the Operations Manager 2007 R2 source media.

  3. On the root of the media, double-click SetupOM.exe.

  4. In the Install section, click Install Audit Collection Server. The Audit Collection Services Collector Setup Wizard starts.

  5. On the Welcome to the Audit Collection Services Collector Setup Wizard page, click Next.

  6. On the Database Installation Options page, click Use an existing database, and then click Next.

  7. On the Data Source page, type the name that you used as the Open Database Connectivity data source name for your ACS database in the Data Source Name box. By default, this name is OpsMgrAC. Click Next.

  8. On the Database page, if the database is on a separate server than the ACS Collector, click Remote Database Server, and then type the computer name of the database server that will host the database for this installation of ACS. Otherwise, click Database server running locally, and then click Next.

  9. On the Database Authentication page, select one authentication method. If the ACS Collector and the ACS database are members of the same domain, you can select Windows authentication; otherwise, select SQL authentication, and then click Next.

    Note

    If you select SQL authentication and click Next, the Database Credentials page displays. Enter the name of the user account that has access to the SQL Server in the SQL login name box and the password for that account in the SQL password box, and then click Next.

  10. The Summary page displays a list of actions that the installation program will perform to upgrade ACS. Review the list, and then click Next to begin the installation.

    Note

    If a SQL Server login dialog box displays and the database authentication is set to Windows authentication, select the correct database and verify that the Use Trusted Connection check box is checked. Otherwise, clear it, enter the SQL login name and password, and then click OK.

  11. When the upgrade is complete, click Finish.
