Upgrading the cre cmpnents t System Center 2012
R2 Operatins can nly be perfrmed n an Operatins 2007 R2 r later envirnment. Earlier versins f Operatins such as Operatins 2007 SP1 must be upgraded t Operatins 2007 R2 befre they can be upgraded t System Center 2012 Operatins. Additinally the Operatins 2007 R2 installatin must be running at least Cumulative Update 4. Befre upgrading t System Center 2012 Operatins there are several imprtant tasks that must be perfrmed. In this mdule we will cver the upgrade rder that shuld be applied when yu upgrade t System Center 2012 Operatins. Befre the upgrade t Operatins can be perfrmed, the Management Grup must be running System Center 2012 SP1 Operatins.

As there will nt be an available Management Pack fr these custm applicatins yu shuld understand hw Applicatin Perfrmance Mnitring (APM) is cnfigured in Operatins. APM prvides extensive mnitring fr.net and Java based applicatins that include bth Server and Client side mnitring. In additin t mnitring.net applicatins directly thrugh Operatins it is imprtant that yu understand hw APM can be used with the full functinality f Visual Studi IntelliTrace Cllectr fr gathering full applicatin prfiling traces. With System Center 2012 yu can als integrate Operatins with Team Fundatin Server. It is imprtant that yu understand hw this integratin is cnfigured s that Operatins can be used t synchrnize alerts with wrk items in Team Fundatin Server.

Mdule 6: End t End Service Mnitring When mnitring key line f business applicatins, mnitring shuld be perfrmed frm bth a
data center perspective and an enduser perspective. In this mdule yu will learn hw yu can create synthetic transactins t measure end-user perfrmance. Yu will als learn hw t cmbine cmpnent mnitring with synthetic transactins in distributed applicatin mdels that describe the relatinship between the varius cmpnents f an applicatin. This prvides a single view fr identifying rute cause and impact f any ptential service utage. Finally yu will learn hw t build rich Visi dashbards t shw real-time health t external users.

These views (r dashbards) can instantly display perfrmance and availability fr ne r mre applicatins in a single pane. It is imprtant that yu understand hw t create screcards and dashbards in rder t prvide different types f users within the business with a view int hw the mnitred envirnment is perfrming. Fr example a Service Owner may just require a high-level view shwing whether r nt end users are able t access a service whereby an executive may just require a view shwing whether a service is in r ut f SLA. Reprting is als imprtant in understanding hw the mnitred envirnment is perfrming. Certain persnnel may nt have access t the Operatins Cnsle r receive alerts by email, but they may still require access t imprtant infrmatin abut the health and perfrmance f key applicatins and services. In this scenari, reprts can be used t prvide an interface int cllected Operatins data. Service and applicatin wners must als knw that services supplied t the business are meeting service level agreements fr perfrmance and availability. Therefre, yu must knw hw Service Level is cnfigured and displayed in Operatins.

Typically within an applicatin supprt team there are a number f rles that require different levels f permissins when using the Operatins Cnsle. These range frm read-nly users thrugh t advanced peratrs. Further t this, all f these rles must be limited t nly display data abut the cmputers and applicatins that the peratrs are respnsible fr. In this mdule yu will learn hw t use the inbuilt rle-based security within Operatins t prvide granular access t data, views and tasks in Operatins. Applicatin supprt teams typically require custmized views within the cnsle fr their key applicatins. Yu will als learn hw t design and prvisin these views t relevant supprt teams. Whilst sme team members may always have the cnsle pen, ther teams may require a ntificatin t be sent when an issue is detected. Operatins manager uses Ntificatins and Ntificatin Channels t achieve this functinality. This mdule describes hw t cnfigure these and send email alerts t key teams. Finally, in rder t reduce wrklad n the varius applicatin supprt teams yu will learn hw t cnfigure Diagnstic and Recvery tasks in Operatins. This will prvide a methd f diagnsing and autmating the remediatin f issues that have been detected.

Mdule 9: Management Pack Authring Fr cmmn applicatins such as Micrsft SQL Server and Micrsft Exchange Server there is already a fully develped Management Pack available. Yu can extend the default mnitring cntained in Operatins by creating rules, mnitrs and grups within the Operatrs cnsle. Hwever it may be necessary t authr a cmpletely new management pack t mnitr custm applicatins. T achieve this yu wuld authr the management pack in Visual studi, seal the management pack and the deply it. The management pack shuld then autmatically discver and mnitr the cmpnents f the applicatin. Management Pack authring is a detailed tpic that requires a base understanding f the cre cncepts befre prceeding. This mdule will cver these tpics including hw yu create a Management Pack in bth the cnsle and Visual Studi.

This includes the server and desktp infrastructure and the netwrking infrastructure that binds them. Yu can als manage client devices by using. Yu shuld integrate the System Center 2012 R2 cmpnents t prvide seamless management f the IT envirnment frm bth a clud and datacenter perspective. This prvides easier and mre flexible management f the clud and datacenter envirnment and enables autmatin f many manual prcesses. In this mdule, yu will learn several key features f ther cmpnents.

Additinally, ensuring yur system is fully ptimized helps prevent utages and deteriratin f perfrmance f the mnitring slutin. In this mdule yu will learn hw t ptimize the data warehuse t ensure the crrect vlume f data is kept. As with all key systems it s imprtant t knw where t lk when trubleshting prblems. This includes using reprts t understand perfrmance and knwing which lgs t investigate n bth the management servers and agents. T increase verall service availability yu may als cnsider cnfiguring SQL AlwaysOn fr Operatins. This will increase the availability f the database layer. If a cmpnent within the Operatins envirnment fails it is equally imprtant that yu understand hw t recver the failed cmpnent.
