Getting Started with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager

Overview of this book

Most modern IT environments comprise a heterogeneous mixture of servers, network devices, virtual hypervisors, storage solutions, cross-platform operating systems and applications. All this complexity brings a requirement to deliver a centralized monitoring and reporting solution that can help IT administrators quickly identify where the problems are and how best to resolve them. Using System Center Operations Manager (OpsMgr), administrators get a full monitoring overview of the IT services they have responsibility for across the organization - along with some useful management capabilities to help them remediate any issues they've been alerted to. This book begins with an introduction to OpsMgr and its core concepts and then walks you through designing and deploying the various roles. After a chapter on exploring the consoles, you will learn how to deploy agents, work with management packs, configure network monitoring and model your IT services using distributed applications. There’s a chapter dedicated to alert tuning and another that demonstrates how to visualize your IT using dashboards. The final chapters in the book discuss how to create alert subscriptions, manage reports, backup and recover OpsMgr, perform maintenance and troubleshoot common problems.

Deleting management packs


When you wish to delete a management pack, there's a couple of things to keep in mind. Firstly, if you need to re-import a management pack that you delete at a later stage, ensure you have either exported it (if it's unsealed) or you have a copy of the original sealed management pack downloaded and stored in a library. Secondly, ensure the management pack you want to delete has no outstanding dependencies on other management packs as this will block you from deleting until the dependent management packs are removed first.

Here's how to delete a management pack:

  1. In the Administration workspace of the Operation Console, browse to the Management Packs view and locate the management pack that you wish to delete (use the Find action from the toolbar for this if you've a large number of management packs deployed already).

  2. Right-click on the management pack, then choose the Delete action as shown in Figure 5.47.
