Operations Manager
This document provides information about the operating systems, hardware configurations,
software requirements, installation combinations, and security configurations for System Center
2012 R2 Operations Manager. This document focuses on the system requirements, and it
mentions unsupported configurations only when necessary. If operating systems, hardware
configurations, software requirements, installation combinations, and security configurations are
not presented here, they have not been tested and are not supported.
Note
For system requirements across all components of System Center, see System
Requirements for System Center 2012 R2.
The Prerequisites checker is no longer a separate option in Setup. However, you can begin the
installation process to check the hardware and software prerequisites, and then cancel
installation after the required prerequisites have been determined.
We recommend that you also review the key concepts of Operations Manager. Documents to
review include the following:

Application Performance Monitoring Requirements

Microsoft supports running all Operations Manager server features in any physical or virtual
environment that meets the minimum requirements that are stated in this document. However, for
performance reasons, we recommend that you store the operational database and data
warehouse database on a directly attached physical hard drive, and not on a virtual disk.
Specifically, virtual computers that are running any Operations Manager server feature must not
use any functionality that does not immediately commit all activity on the virtual computer to the
virtual hard drive. This includes making use of point-in-time snapshots and writing changes to a
temporary virtual hard drive. This is true for every virtualization technology that is used with
Operations Manager.
5
Running Operations Manager on Windows Azure Virtual
Machines
System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager runs on virtual machines in Windows Azure just as
it does on physical computer systems. We recommend using Operations Manager with Windows
Azure virtual machines in the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: You can run Operations Manager on a Windows Azure virtual machine and use
it to monitor other Windows Azure virtual machines.
Scenario 2: You can run Operations Manager on a Windows Azure virtual machine and use
it to monitor virtual machines that are not running on Windows Azure.
Scenario 3: You can run Operations Manager on-premises and use it to monitor Windows
Azure virtual machines.
Operations Manager was tested by Microsoft by installing and using it in a Windows Azure virtual
machine. The standard sizing and supported configuration for Operations Manager applies to
Windows Azure virtual machines.

Operations Manager is optimized for screen resolutions of 1280 x 1024 or larger. The minimum
supported screen resolution is 1024 x 768.

Use the Operations Manager Sizing Helper to determine hardware requirements for each
Operations Manager server feature. If you want to install more than one feature on the same
computer, use the higher of the recommended hardware requirements for any of the combined
features.
Supported Processors, Memory, and Disk Space
Note
Operations Manager does not support installing the 32-bit agent on a 64-bit operating
system. Operations Manager provides native support for x86-based computers for agents
and consoles, and x64-based computers for all server features.

Operations Manager server features require a supported operating system. For a list of the
supported operating systems for each server feature, see the Requirements by Feature section
in this document.
Installing System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager on Windows Server 2012 Core requires
Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit (WoW64) support, .NET 4.5, Windows PowerShell 3.0. In
addition, you need AuthManager. To install AuthManager for Windows 2012, add Server-Gui-
Mgmt-Intra (the Minimal Server Interface.) To install for Windows 2012 R2, install AuthManager
with this command: dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:AuthManager. If you attempt to
6
install Operations Manager without WoW64 support installed, the bootstrapper will present an
error message indicating the side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
We recommend that you check for updates and hotfixes for Microsoft SQL Server. Note the
following database considerations for Operations Manager:
SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise
editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting
Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not
supported. The same version should be used for all features.
SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following:
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS; Latin1_General_100_CI_AS, // EN, IT, DE, PT-BR, NE,
PT-PT; French_CI_AS; French_100_CI_AS; Cyrillic_General_CI_AS; Chinese_PRC_CI_AS;
Chinese_Simplified_Pinyin_100_CI_AS, // CN simplified;
Chinese_Traditional_Stroke_Count_100_CI_AS, // CN traditional, CN-HKJapanese;_CI_AS;
Japanese_XJIS_100_CI_AS; Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS; Modern_Spanish_100_CI_AS; or
Latin1_General_CI_AS; Cyrillic_General_100_CI_AS, // RU; Korean_100_CI_AS;
Czech_100_CI_AS; Hungarian_100_CI_AS; olish_100_CI_AS; and
Finnish_Swedish_100_CI_AS. No other collation settings are supported.
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to
automatic.
The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the
SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on
the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start. For information
about how to resolve the issue, see System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure
Due to SQL Configuration Change
If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 R2 Operations
Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple
spindles. For more information, see tempdb Database.
If you want to install more than one Operations Manager feature on the same computer, you must
install the prerequisite software for all of the combined features.

In the preceding table, if SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, SQL Server
2012, or SQL Server 2012 SP1 is installed by using a default instance, the port number is 1433. If
SQL Server is installed with a named instance, it is probably using a dynamic port. To identify the
port, do the following:
1. Run SQL Server Configuration Manager.
2. Open SQL Server Network Configuration.
3. Open Protocols for INSTANCE1 (or the instance that is running under it).
4. Open TCP/IP.
15
5. Click IP Addresses.
6. The port is under IPAll (usually the TCP Dynamic Ports).

Operations Manager requires the following minimum network connectivity speeds between the
specified features.

Operations Manager supports the clustering configurations for Operations Manager features as
shown in the following table:
Important
Clustering of management servers is not supported in System Center 2012 R2
Operations Manager.
You can use SQL Server failover clustering or SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn. For more
information about SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn, see Using SQL Server 2012 Always On
Availability Groups with System Center 2012 SP1 - Operations Manager.
16
When using SQL Server failover clustering, only Cluster service quorum node clusters are
supported. Multisite clusters (geographically dispersed clusters) are supported for all Operations
Manager cluster roles. You can use replication technology to help provide high availability for
data in Operations Manager, but the latency of communications between components introduce
risks to data replication and might introduce failover issues. We recommend that you use
synchronous mirroring of data disks between sites. Synchronous mirroring means that the data is
fully synchronized across all sites and ensures the correct behavior of applications in the event of
failover across sites.
Important
Microsoft is not obligated to release a hotfix on any Operations Manager issue that
cannot be reproduced in a non-multisite cluster environment. If an analysis determines
that non-Microsoft components in the configuration are causing the issue, the customer
must work with the appropriate vendor for those components.

Operations Manager supports the following languages: English, German, French, Japanese,
Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Italian, and Portuguese (Brazil).
Support for different languages
If your systems run a language other than English, you can install Operations Manager for that
language. You also have the option of installing English Operations Manager for your
management group.
For example, if you use a German version of a Windows operating system on all your servers,
you can install German Operations Manager features for your entire management group. If you
have a German version of a Windows operating system on all your servers, you can optionally
install English Operations Manager features for your entire management group.
Agents for different languages
If you use an English management group, you can monitor any Windows Operating System
Locale type.
21
If you use another language, you can monitor Windows operating systems for English and that
language. For instance, if you use a German management group, you can monitor only English
and German Windows operating systems.
Console for different languages
Operations Manager consoles are language independent. For example, you can use an Italian
Operations Manager console to connect to a German management group.

Operations Manager supports monitoring of network devices that support Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). Port monitoring is available for devices that have implemented
the interface MIB (RFC 2863) and MIB-II (RFC 1213) standards. In addition, peripheral
monitoring, including processor and memory monitoring, is supported on a subset of devices. For
more information, see System Center Operations Manager 2012: Network Devices with Extended
Monitoring Capability.
Operations Manager can identify connected devices in a recursive discovery that use an IPv6
address; however, the initial device that is discovered must use an IPv4 address.
For more information about supported network devices, see Network Devices Supported for
Discovery by Operations Manager 2012.

To view Application Performance Monitoring event details, you must install the Operations
Manager web console. For more information, see How to Install the Operations Manager Web
Console.
Application Performance Monitoring requires the following software on the agent:

System Requirements: System Center 2012 SP1 -
Operations Manager
software requirements, installation combinations, and security configurations for Operations
Manager in System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This document focuses on the system
requirements, and it mentions unsupported configurations only when necessary. If operating
systems, hardware configurations, software requirements, installation combinations, and security
configurations are not presented here, they have not been tested and are not supported.
Note
For system requirements across all components of System Center 2012 SP1, see
System Requirements for System Center 2012 SP1.
We recommend that you also review the key concepts of Operations Manager. Documents to
review include the following:
Release Notes: System Center 2012 SP1 - Operations Manager identifies any changes
that could affect planning for a new deployment of Operations Manager in System Center
2012 SP1.

Microsoft supports running all Operations Manager server features in any physical or virtual
environment that meets the minimum requirements that are stated in this document. However, for
performance reasons, we recommend that you store the operational database and data
warehouse database on a directly attached physical hard drive, and not on a virtual disk.
Specifically, virtual computers that are running any Operations Manager server feature must not
use any functionality that does not immediately commit all activity on the virtual computer to the
virtual hard drive. This includes making use of point-in-time snapshots and writing changes to a
temporary virtual hard drive. This is true for every virtualization technology that is used with
Operations Manager.


Use the Operations Manager Sizing Helper to determine hardware requirements for each
Operations Manager server feature. If you want to install more than one feature on the same
computer, use the higher of the recommended hardware requirements for any of the combined
features.

computers with 64-bit Itanium processors.

in this document.
24
Installing Operations Manager in System Center 2012 SP1 on Windows Server 2012 Core
requires Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit (WoW64) support, .NET 4.5,
Windows PowerShell 3.0, and Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra (the Minimal Server Interface). If you
attempt to install Operations Manager without WoW64 support installed, the bootstrapper will
present an error message indicating the side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
Important
During the initial installation of the operational database, only use Windows
Authentication on the SQL server that hosts the Operations Manager operational
database. Do not use Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server
Authentication) because using SQL Server Authentication mode during the initial
installation of the operational database can cause issues. Although enabling Mixed Mode
security is possible on the SQL Server hosting the Operations Manager operational
database, it is not supported as all contact with the database is accomplished using
Windows accounts only.
We recommend that you check for updates and hotfixes for Microsoft SQL Server. Note the
following database considerations for Operations Manager:
SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise
editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS,
Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or
Latin1_General_CI_AS. No other collation settings are supported.
The Operations Manager data warehouse installer will always install the data warehouse with
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS regardless of the SQL Server collation. Until this issue is
resolved, always install the Operations Manager data warehouse on a SQL Server with the
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation. There are some compatibility issues when the
Temp database on the data warehouse SQL Server instance is anything other than
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and the data warehouse database is
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. For more information about SQL Server collation setting
impact and installation requirements in System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) between
Operations Manager and Service Manager, see Clarification on SQL Server Collation
Requirements for System Center 2012.

Clustering of management servers is not supported in System Center 2012 Service Pack
1 (SP1), Operations Manager.
Only Cluster service quorum node clusters are supported. Multisite clusters (geographically
dispersed clusters) are supported for all Operations Manager cluster roles. You can use
replication technology to help provide high availability for data in Operations Manager, but the
latency of communications between components introduce risks to data replication and might
introduce failover issues. We recommend that you use synchronous mirroring of data disks
between sites. Synchronous mirroring means that the data is fully synchronized across all sites
and ensures the correct behavior of applications in the event of failover across sites.
