Gateway Certifcate about to Expire

Fri, 06 May 2011 15:59:36 GMT

This is the 1st time I have had to deal with this. Can anyone please tell me what the process is for extending the expiration date on a certificate?
Can I manually change the existing date?
Do I have to install a new certificate?
If so, do I need to delete the old certificate beofre doing this?

These are just of the few questions I have about this task. I am hoping someone can point me at a comprehensive documented solution to this task.

I have the SCOM unleashed book but it does not deal with this type of scenario and my google searches have failed to uncover a full solution.

@ pro that is cool. I have always wanted to extend the time past the standard cert expiration :)

This might help you. I based it off of one of Pete's writeups and some other blogs.

Management Server balancing and fallback question

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:28:44 GMT

I do a lot of manual agent installs and fear that agents are not automatically falling back to another MS. Is that possible? I tried this solution in my lab and thought it was pretty handy. Do you think it is a good solution for balancing and falling agents back to another other MS?

Event ID 31552 - Problem with data warehouse

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:39:17 GMT

Hey @all,

my SCOM Management Server announces me the following error:

Description:

Error during the the save-process into the Data Warehouse. Exception 'SqlException': Sql execution failed. Error 777971002, Level 16, State 1, Procedure StandardDatasetAggregate, Line 424, Message: Sql execution failed. Error 777971002, Level 16, State 1, Procedure StateAggregate, Line 341, Message: Sql execution failed. Error 242, Level 16, State 3, Procedure -, Line 1, Message:
The conversion of a char-data typ into a datetime-data typ fails, because the datetime-value is out of the regular definition.

(it is my translation)

I found no solution with the help of google. Does anyone here have an idea to solve this problem?
I didn´t change anything...suddenly this error occurs.

Any help will be much appreciated!!

As long as the group and the override are in the same MP you are fine.

It's just that you can't refer from one MP to another, unsealed, MP.

Dynamically populating group members and targeting rules/monitors

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:05:47 GMT

Hi,
I need to create a group which contains only appfabric agent machines.
when ever a new afffabric agent is added to SCOM server it will automatically add to the group.
is it possible to run rules/monitors targeting this group?

please help me

Forums: Re: Dynamically populating group members and targeting rules/monitors

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:39:40 GMT

Also, I don't think you can target overrides against custom groups that you have created unless you first seal the MP the group is stored in and import it.

Forums: Re: Dynamically populating group members and targeting rules/monitors

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:51:25 GMT

You can't target groups with monitors (in 2012 this will be possible though). You have to create a monitor that is disabled by default, and then you enable it only for that group.

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:50:00 GMT

Yes it will work as long as you are exporting it from a 2007 environment. Exported Management Packs from 2012 won't be readable by the Authoring Console.

How to create alarm for failover cluster server event - Cluster group online/offline

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:18:23 GMT

I have oracle servers in failover cluster, and want to get alert when Resource Cluster Group becomes offline/online (Windows System Events IDs 1204/1201). Event ID 1204 (group offline) comes before ID 1201 (group online).

I tried to create Unit Monitor - Windows Simple Event Detection, and put Unhealthy expression: (ID: 1204)and(source: Clussvc) and Helathy Expression: (ID: 1201)and(source: Clussvc),
to generate alarm (and e-mail also) if ID 1204 appearas, and to close alert when ID 1201 appears.

But, SCOM detect first event 1204 on (for example, server APP1), and generate alert, and expect event 1201 on SAME server, but event ID appears on APP2 (Cluster group is now online on this server). And,I still have open Alert, although problem doesn’t exist, and another node – APP2 is online and working.

Agent Multi Homing Issues?

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:46:44 GMT

We are considering System Center Advisor, which would require dual homing agents. We are also planning on SCOM 2012 migration, one option would to dual home to the new 2012 Management Group. So this brings me to this question- Is it possible to do triple homing? Is this even suggested? Nothing set in stone yet, just looking for input to help planning. Thanks.
