How to Update Your Operations Manager Integration After Upgrading to VMM 2008 R2 SP1

Applies To: Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 SP1

If you are migrating to System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) from VMM 2008 R2, and you have previously integrated System Center Operations Manager 2007 with VMM 2008 R2, this topic explains how to update the Operations Manager integration for VMM 2008 R2 with SP1. To do this, you must upgrade the System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 Management Packs for Operations Manager 2007.

• Use the installation media to upgrade the VMM server and to upgrade the VMM Administrator Console on your Operations Manager servers from VMM 2008 R2 to VMM 2008 R2 with SP1. For instructions, see Upgrading to VMM 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 from VMM 2008 R2.

1. Log on to your Operations Manager root management server under a domain account that has Administrator rights on the local computer and is a member of the Operations Manager Administrator user role. You cannot perform this procedure as a local user.

   Note

   If you have not been added to this role, see How to Add Members to the Administrator Role in Operations Manager 2007.

2. Open the Operations console, and display a list of the current management packs:

   1. On the Start menu, click All Programs, click System Center Operations Manager 2007, and then click Operations Console.

   2. Display Administration view by clicking the Administration button beneath the navigation pane.

   3. In the navigation pane, click the Management Packs node.

3. Upgrade all management packs with names that begin with “System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008”. To upgrade the management packs, select Import MP and select all the management packs in the \amd64\VirtualizationMP folder on the product CD for import.

4. On the VMM server, use the Windows PowerShell – Virtual Machine Manager command shell to specify the root Operations Manager server in VMM:

   1. To open Windows PowerShell – VMM, on the Start menu, click All Programs, click Microsoft System Center, click Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2, and then click Windows PowerShell – Virtual Machine Manager.

   2. At the PS> prompt, enter the following cmdlet, where <OpsMgrServerName> is the name of the Operations Manager root management server:

      Set-VMMServer -OpsMgrServer <OpsMgrServerName>
      

   You must perform this step to force a new discovery of the Operations Manager root management server, even if you retained your VMM database when you upgraded to VMM 2008 R2 with SP1.

5. On all other Operations Manager servers, open the Windows PowerShell – Virtual Machine Manager command shell. If you see a prompt, type A to select [A]lways to always trust remote signed scripts from this snap-in.

6. If you did not retain your VMM 2008 R2 database when you upgraded to VMM 2008 R2 with SP1, you will need to reconfigure reporting and PRO in VMM:

   • Specify the reporting server for VMM. For more information, in VMM 2008 R2 Help, see Configuring Reporting for VMM (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163061).

   • Enable PRO for the host groups and host clusters that you want to participate. Also, if any of your PRO-enabled management packs contain PRO tips that target Virtual Machine Manager, configure PRO settings for VMM. For more information, see Enabling PRO in VMM (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=128536).
