Overview of Upgrading MOM 2000 Management Packs
MOM 2005 supports upgrading from MOM 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1). Upgrading the MOM infrastructure effects Management Packs in several ways:
Installed Management Packs should upgrade seamlessly.
Upgraded Management Packs should work with MOM 2005 configurations.
Microsoft Access-based reporting is not migrated.
MOM 2000 SP1 Management Packs work on MOM 2005 without modification and should work with the following new MOM 2005 functionality:
Agentless monitoring
64 bit (and deprecated script helper objects)
New reporting console (Microsoft Access-based reporting is not migrated)
Core support for cluster monitoring
To overcome potential compatibility issues, only installing MOM 2005 Management Packs after every agent in a configuration group is upgraded to MOM 2005. Installing MOM 2005 Management Packs in a mixed or MOM 2000 environment, is not supported.
