System Center Service Manager: Installation Part II: The Datawarehouse
Hey All, this is part two of the installation post of System Center Service Manager Beta 1. In this part, we will install the Service Manager Data Warehouse.
I started the installation with the Setup.exe (of course ;-))
I choose Install Service Manager Data Warehouse
Now he is asking for some data. The traditional name, organization and key. Since this is a beta, I don’t need a key yet. I’ve checked the License acceptance box and continued.
Here I choose the installation location.
Now the prerequisite checker has run and he has given me warnings.
In the SCSMSetupWizard.log (in my case found under the directory where the installation media was extracted) I can read that he warns me that I don’t have enough memory (Still I’m going to try with the 2 GB ;-))
In this screen, I need to give the instance for the Databases. Since he only shows the possible instances, this is an easy one :-)
On the next page, I need to choose the Data Warehouse Management group name. I left it as default, but be aware that you can’t change this name afterwards.
And finally, on that same screen, I need to choose the admin(s) for that management group. I choose for the created admin group, SM_Admins.
For the Data Warehouse account, I chose the user we created in the 1st post named sm_acct. The great thing here is that you have a button to test the credentials to see if your account is ok.
Finally the summary and of we go.
The installation is running
After less then 10 minutes the installation was finished.
For more information about the installation, or to troubleshoot a failed installation, check the log @ \users\<user name>\AppData\Local\SCSM\Setup or at the location where the installation files are located.
And finally, to validate if everything is ok, check if the following databases are created: DWSMDB, SCDM and SCDW
Up to the next part of the installation
Cheers,
Mike
