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. 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.
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.
Supported Software Requirements for Operations Manager 2007
Note
Operations Manager 2007 does not support a 32-bit Operations Manager Operations database, Reporting Server data warehouse, or Audit Collection database on a 64-bit operating system.
Important
With the application of SP1 update rollup 971541 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=167911), Operations Manager 2007 SP1 will support running its databases on SQL Server 2008 with SP1 or SQL Server 2008 with SP2. This is supported only if you are upgrading the database servers from SQL Server 2005. You can only upgrade SQL Server 2005 to the original release version of SQL Server 2008 (version 10.0.1600.22). After you complete the upgrade, we recommend that you install SQL Server 2008 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 SP2. Operations Manager 2007 SP1 will not support a new installation of its databases onto SQL Server 2008 with SP1 or SQL Server 2008 with SP2. For upgrade procedures, see Upgrading SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=169521).

In the preceding table, if SQL Server 2005 is installed using a default instance, the port number is 1433. If SQL Server is installed with a named instance, it is probably using a dynamic port. To identify the port, do the following:
Run SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Run SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Open SQL Server Network Configuration.
Open Protocols for INSTANCE1 (or the instance running under it).
Open TCP/IP.
Click IP Addresses.
The port is under IPAll (usually the TCP Dynamic Ports).

Supported, But Not Recommended Cluster Configurations
Operations Manager 2007 supports the following clustering configurations for Operations Manager server roles, as shown in the following table; however, because of a potential performance impact on your SQL Server-based computer, these configurations are not recommended:
| Server Role | Cluster | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Operations Manager 2007 Operations database and Operations Manager 2007 Reporting data warehouse |
Active-Active cluster where the Operations Manager Operations database is installed on one node of the cluster and the Reporting data warehouse is installed on the other node of the cluster |
There might be some performance issues with SQL in this configuration. |
Operations Manager Operations database, Reporting data warehouse, and audit collection database |
Single Active-Passive or Active-Active cluster where all three components are on a single cluster |
There might be some performance issues with SQL in this configuration. |
Operations Manager Operations database and audit collection database |
Single Active-Passive cluster where both components are on a single cluster |
There might be some performance issues with SQL in this configuration. |
Operations Manager Operations database and Reporting data warehouse |
Single Active-Passive cluster where both components are on a single cluster |
There might be some performance issues with SQL in this configuration. |
Reporting data warehouse and audit collection database |

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 Windows on all your servers, you can install German Operations Manager 2007 components for your entire management group. If you have a German version of Windows 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.
