System Center Service Manager: Installation Part III: The Service Manager Management server, CMDB and a console
Hey All, this is part 3 of the installation of System Center Service Manager Beta 1. This time I’m going to install the Service Manager Management server, the CMDB and a console. Please note that you can’t install this on the same computer as the Data Warehouse because according to Microsoft, this will work but the results will be unpredictable.
After running setup.exe, I got the start screen again. This time I have chosen for Install Service Manager management server.
Again I have the Product registration page. I’ve changed username, company and accepted the license agreement. Again, no key is needed for the time being.
Choose the location where you want to install the program.
The prerequisite wizard has run, and again I got a warning.
In the SCSMSetupWizard log (in my case found under the directory where the installation media was extracted) I notice (again) that I don’t have enough memory. Still I continue (It is a virtual after all, I can add more memory if necessary)
On this page, I needed to tell the program where the SQL server was located. Since this was the same as where my Data Warehouse was located, I choose that one and again he listed me the only possible instance.
I wanted to create a new database and choose that one. The setup program filled in the rest for me.
Here I need to point to the server which contains the Data Warehouse. This is optional if you have installed a data warehouse. Otherwise, this is not necessary to fill in.
Again I need to tell the name of the management group which I can’t change afterwards, so I decided to take the same name for the management group as I did for the Datawarehouse. I’m not sure if that is the good decision so I'm gonna post a question on the Microsoft forums and let you know what their answer is.
The account for Service Manager, which is in my case the SM_Acct account.
Finally the installation summary.
And job done. Again, this took less then 10 minutes to install.
To check if everything works, I started the console on the server.
I get this window, where I filled in the servername of the Service manager management server.
And yes, it worked. The first view on Service Manager 2010 beta 1.
To check for more, find the logs that I talked about in the previous post.
Next posts will be the first configuration.
Cheers,
Mike
