12 Operations Manager 2007 R2 Platform
Parent-child topology with the RMS as the “parent” and all other management servers as “children” Operations Manager 2012, SP1 and R2 Platform Peer-to-Peer topology with all management servers acting as equals

13 Components Core Additional Roles Databases Management servers Agents
Consoles Additional Roles Reporting server Gateway server Audit collector and database

14 Architecture design considerations
1. How would you group your managed systems? 4. What do you need to consider when architecting Operations Manager? Management group design and requirements High availability scenarios and requirements Authentication scenarios Management server design Databases and storage design Reporting 2. What are your high availability requirements for management servers? 5-6. What is the most efficient database and storage design? 3. How can you secure the authentication process?

15 Architecture patterns – Single server
Most commonly used for evaluation, testing, and management pack development, usually in non- production or pre-production environments Combines all the management group roles Instance can be installed on dedicated hardware or on a virtual computer

16 Architecture patterns – Small-medium
Most commonly used to monitor very large pre- production environments or large production environments Distribution of features and services across multiple servers to allow for scalability Includes all server roles and supports the monitoring of devices

17 Architecture patterns – Enterprise
Most commonly used for enterprise deployments Allows for the distribution of features and services across multiple servers to allow for scalability Includes all server roles and supports the monitoring of devices

18 HA and virtualization support
How can Operations Manager provide high availability for monitoring systems? Resource pools Agent failover Database instance failover clustering Network load balancing What are your high availability requirements for management servers? How does Operations Manager support virtualization and what are the recommendations for management servers? Operations Manager supports all server features in any physical or virtual environment It is recommended to store the database and data warehouse on a directly attached physical hard drive Virtual computers must not use any functionality that does not immediately commit all activity on the virtual computer to the virtual hard drive

19 Network requirements How do the different Operations Manager roles communicate with each other? No direct communication between an operations console and the databases However, direct communication between an application diagnostics console and the databases All other communication goes through the management server and then to the database servers Supports full distribution of features among servers For more information, see Connecting Management Groups in Operations Managers

20 Management server design
What considerations go into designing a management server? Hardware requirements Sizing best practices, using the Sizing Helper Tool High availability and virtualization recommendations Network requirements Usage of gateway servers Number of monitored devices Number of monitored applications

21 Databases and reporting
What are the databases used by Operations Manager? Operational database Contains all configuration data for the management group Stores all monitoring data that is collected and processed for the management group for 7 days (default setting) Reporting data warehouse Stores monitoring and alerting data for historical purposes What are some considerations when designing reporting? Operations Manager uses SQL Server Reporting Services The number of concurrent reporting users Data retention with the data warehouse

22 Management groups What is a management group?
Basic unit of functionality Consists of a management server, the operational database, and the reporting data warehouse database When should one consider multiple management groups? View consolidation Language requirements Security boundaries Separation of test and production environments How would you group your managed systems?

23 Agents What does an agent do? Where can agents be installed?
Collects data, compares sampled data to predefined values, creates alerts, and runs responses Calculates the health state of the monitored computer and objects on the monitored computer and reports back Where can agents be installed? Windows systems UNIX/Linux systems

24 Use of gateway servers Management group Management server How do management servers and agents authenticate? Kerberos authentication Certificate-based authentication Using the Gateway servers Only one port (TCP 5723) has to be open Multiple gateway servers can be placed in a single domain for failover

25 Decision points Upgrade vs. new install Database placement
HA requirement DR requirement Management group Agent deployment scenarios Reporting server Gateway server Audit Collection Services (ACS)

61 Overcoming the Dev-Ops disconnect
“Hey, I just got a call about a failed application.” “Do you know what might have caused the failure?” App Dev App Ops “How would I know, you wrote the code!

62 Misaligned goals, priorities, and the “silo” mentality
Two different worlds Development Day job: Increase/Maintain business viability by introducing change to support market demand When a problem occurs: The goal is to understand the root cause to prevent future occurrences – (ideally) attach debugger or collect dump! Time pressure: Sprint (3-4 weeks) Operations Day job: Increase/Maintain business operational availability by eliminating/controlling change When a problem occurs: The goal is to restore operations back to normal – reboot! Time pressure: Maintain SLA at 99.9% (about 43 min./month) Misaligned goals, priorities, and the “silo” mentality
