This recipe will guide you through the process of installing System Center Operations Manager for the integration with VMM.
Operations Manager has integrated product and company knowledge for proactive tuning. It also allows the user to compute the OS, applications, services, and out-of-the-box network monitoring, reporting, and many more features' extensibility through management packs, thus providing cross-platform visibility.
The deployment used in this recipe assumes a small environment with all components installed on the same server. For datacenters and enterprise deployments, it is recommended to distribute the features and services across multiple servers to allow for scalability. For a complete design reference and complex implementation of SCOM 2012 R2, follow the Microsoft Operations Manager deployment guide, available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=246682.
