Post installation tasks

Perform the following tasks after installing the Ops connector for Microsoft SCOM:

• Installing the Event Backward Synchronization Script
• Installing OMi Content Pack for Microsoft SCOM

Installing the Event Backward Synchronization Script

For backward synchronization of event resolution states, OpsCx for Microsoft SCOM uses two Perl scripts for deletion of alerts in Microsoft SCOM. While the Microsoft SCOM-specific script is automatically installed by OpsCx for Microsoft SCOM during configuration of the integration services, the generic script must be manually copied to the location where Operations Connector can find it.

To make the generic script available to Operations Connector, perform these steps on the Operations Connector host:

1. Open a Command Prompt window with administrative privileges.

2. Check if there are Operations Connector complements for other systems management applications already installed:

   • If other Operations Connector complements are not present, do the following:

     1. Copy the OmBackSync.pl file from <OvDataDir>\installation\genint to the <OvDataDir>\conf\backsync directory (and allow the copy process to overwrite the file at the target location).

     2. To restart the backward synchronization process, run the following command:

        ovc -restart ombacksync

   • If other Operations Connector complements are present, do the following:

     1. Compare contents of the following files:

        <OvDataDir>\installation\genint\OmBackSync.pl

        <OvDataDir>\conf\backsync\OmBackSync.pl

        If the file contents match, no further action is required and you must skip all remaining steps. If the contents do not match, proceed with the next step.

     2. Make a copy of the OmBackSync.pl file located in the <OvDataDir>\conf\backsync directory. The suggested name for the file copy is OmBackSync.pl_orig.

     3. Copy the OmBackSync.pl file from <OvDataDir>\installation\genint to the <OvDataDir>\conf\backsync directory (and allow the copy process to overwrite the file at the target location).

     4. To restart the backward synchronization process, run the following command:

        ovc -restart ombacksync

Installing OMi Content Pack for Microsoft SCOM

OMi Content pack include Topology Synchronization files, performance dashboard and other configuration changes. (Undefined variable: LocalVariables.ProductName_brief) can only forward Ops Connector for SCOM topology to OMi when a required topology synchronization package is registered with OMi. This package is included in the (Undefined variable: LocalVariables.ProductName_brief) product image archive. Additionally, visual representation of metrics in the OMi web interface is only available when the bundled performance dashboard are imported into OMi as a content pack.

To install OMi content pack for Ops Connector for SCOM, perform these steps:

1. On the Operations Connector host, locate the HPBsmIntSCOM_OMi_Content.zip file at the following location:

   <OvDataDir>\installation\HPBsmIntSCOM\omi-content

2. Copy the archive file from its directory on the Operations Connector host to a location of your choice on the OMi Data Processing Server host, and unpack the archive.

3. On the OMi Data Processing Server host, open a Command Prompt window (command shell) with administrative privileges.

4. Change the current directory to the HPBsmIntSCOM subdirectory within the temporary directory where you unpacked the archive.

5. Considering the host operating system, run the following command :

   Windows:

   cscript OpsCxInstall.vbs -i

   Linux:

   Provide executable permission to the OpsCxInstall.sh file before running the script.

   OpsCxInstall.sh -i
