SCOM 2007 R2 Demo

Whipped a demo lab together of SCOM 2007 R2 with Veeam Management Pack for VMware. Check out the pic below. If I get some time I will post more about the install process.


All told it took about 3 hours start to finish to get this running. I still have a bunch more to do to make it production ready, but for demo purposes this will do.

Here is a quick run down of the procedure:

1. Install SCOM 2007 R2 (for the demo i put everything on the same machine. Vmware VM, 1 vCPU, 4GB mem)
2. Install Veeam Enterprise Management Server (used the same VM as SCOM). Run the executable as Administrator on 2008 R2 or it will yell at you.
3. Install Veeam Enterprise UI (a web GUI for their EMS. should be the same install if you ask me, but...)
4. Run some SCOM agent commands to get all of the Veeam stuff registered. The MP uses the agent to make some registry changes to the server.
5. After all that I threw in an old fashioned reboot just for good measure. Non of this asked for a reboot, but I threw one in here because the agent takes a while to catch up with the registry changes it makes and I am impatient.
6. After the reboot all of the components showed up without issue. Several hours later I checked back in and took the picture above.
