Required Management Packs for the Cloud Process Pack

Required Management Packs for the Cloud Process Pack

Ok, I`ve done this a couple of times no, so I want to share it.

First you make the SCVMM/SCOM integration (http://kristiannese.blogspot.com/2011/12/integrate-scvmm-2012-with-scom-2012.html ) and import all the required management packs in that process.

Once this is done, you have to import several management packs into System Center Service Manager 2012 before you`re able to install the Cloud Process Pack.

Tip: Download all management packs with Operations Manager to a folder, and import the following management pack to Service Manager 2012:

·         Microsoft.SQLServer.Library.mp

·         Microsoft.SQLServer.2008.Monitoring.mp

·         Microsoft.Windows.InternetInformationServices.2003.mp

·         Microsoft.Windows.InternetInformationServices.2008.mp

·         Microsoft.Windows.InternetInformationServices.CommonLibrary.mp

·         Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.Discovery.mp

·         Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.Monitoring.mp

It`s important that you import those MP`s above prior to the MP`s below, since many of them have these as requirements

In Service Manager 2012, import all the management packs from these locations:

·         From your SCVMM install: %Programfiles%\Microsoft System Center 2012\Virtual Machine Manager\ManagementPacks

·         From your Service Manager 2012 install: %Programfiles%\Microsoft System Center 2012\Service Manager 2012\Operations Manager Management Packs

·         Also from your Service Manager 2012 install: %Programfiles%\Microsoft System Center 2012\Service Manager 2012\Operations Manager 2012 Management Packs

Getting started with the Cloud Process Pack

Cloud Process Pack (Microsoft Private Cloud)

I`ve been working intensively with the Cloud Process Pack lately, to provide a self-service environment in my private cloud.

You can download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27844

You`ll need the following building blocks before you are able to play around with this pack.

·         System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 RC

·         System Center Orchestrator 2012 RC

·         System Center Service Manager 2012 BETA

·         System Center Operations Manager 2012 RC

(And some Hyper-V hosts/Cluster too)

All these System Center products must be connected and integrated with each other.

And this is not a trivial task – at all (BETA).

I will rebuild my lab and post the required steps. The blog post will be relatively long, so I`ll post it later this week.
