Introduction to the Operations Manager 2007
Migration Guide
The Operations Manager 2007 Migration guide is intended to help you understand the migration
process from Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 (MOM 2005) to Operations Manager 2007 and
the tools that are used in the process. A migration process is used because the architectural
difference between the two products is significant, and there is no upgrade path from MOM 2005
to Operations Manager 2007. This guide includes the following:
 A summary of the MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007 infrastructure migration options
and considerations.
 A detailed comparison between a MOM 2005 management pack and an Operations
Manager 2007 management pack.
 A step-by-step overview of what happens to MOM 2005 management pack objects during the
management pack conversion
 A step-by-step walkthrough that shows how to use the Operations Manager 2007 Migration
Wizard to migrate a management pack.

Note
When you install and start the Migration Wizard, you will see that it is initially called the
System Center Operations Manager Migration Tool.
You should follow this guide from beginning to end. This guide is intended for individuals who
have significant MOM 2005 experience and are already familiar with Operations Manager 2007
components and features. An overview is not provided here. For more information, see the
MOM 2005 documentation at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=96760 and the Operations
Manager 2007 documentation at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=85414.

MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007


Migration Overview
In the migration process from Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 (MOM 2005) to Operations
Manager 2007, there are two aspects that must be addressed. The first aspect is the MOM 2005
infrastructure components, including the database server and its hardware, the management
servers and their hardware and so on. The second aspect is the MOM 2005 management packs
that have been deployed in your environment.

5
Infrastructure Components
There is no upgrade path from MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007. To avoid interrupting
your monitoring and alerting services, you have to deploy Operations Manager 2007 in your
environment and support both MOM 2005 and Operations Manager 2007 while they co-exist.
When you can confirm that Operations Manager 2007 is providing you with all the necessary
information and services, you can then start removing your MOM 2005 implementation.
Deploying Operations Manager 2007 in a MOM 2005 environment can be accomplished in one of
two ways. You can either install Operations Manager 2007 server components on the same
hardware that contains the MOM 2005 server components or you can install Operations
Manager 2007 on hardware that is dedicated to your Operations Manager 2007 infrastructure.
For information about these methods, see the next section, "MOM 2005 to Operations
Manager 2007 Infrastructure Migration."

Note
The two products can both run on the same hardware without any conflicts, if the
hardware meets the requirements of both products.

Infrastructure Migration Considerations


Before you can decide which way to deploy Operations Manager 2007 in a MOM 2005
environment, you must first re-evaluate your company's monitoring and alerting needs as they
relate to the features of Operations Manager 2007. If you have deployed multiple MOM 2005
management groups for security, scalability or redundancy reasons, you can probably consolidate
those multiple groups into fewer Operations Manager 2007 management groups. For more
information about Operations Manager components and the design process, see the Operations
Manager 2007 Design Guide at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=96761.

Consolidation Factors
The first factor to consider is that Operations Manager 2007 implements role-based security. A
role in Operations Manager 2007 consists of a profile and a scope. A profile, such as Operations
Manager Administrator or Operations Manager Operator, defines what actions can be taken in the
Operations Console. The scope defines which objects those actions can be taken on. Operations
Manager 2007 Roles provide a security boundary between users who are in different roles. For
example, you can use a profile, such as Operations Manager Operator, which allows the user to
monitor and respond to alerts. You can combine this profile with a scope, such as all monitored
servers that are running Exchange Server, which results in an Exchange Operators Role. Any
user accounts that are assigned to this role can see and interact with operations data only from
the servers that are running Exchange Server. These user accounts do not have access to data
from any other servers. Because role-based security is enforced by the SDK service that is
running on the root management server, it is applied to all methods of accessing data, including
the Operations console, command line, script, Web access and programmatically. Because
security is role-based in Operations Manager 2007, it is no longer necessary to partition
management groups for security purposes.
6
The second factor that influences consolidation is the introduction of the gateway server. A
gateway server acts as a consolidation point for communications between agents and
management servers that are on opposite sides of a Kerberos trust boundary. Agents
communicate with the gateway and the gateway server communicates with the management
servers.
The third factor that you should consider about server consolidation is the overall increase in
scalability of all the Operations Manager 2007 components. For more information about
scalability, see the Operations Manager 2007 Performance and Scalability white paper at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=92673.

Note
Remember that although Operations Manager 2007 delivers better performance and
scalability than MOM 2005, Operations Manager 2007 has higher minimum hardware
requirements than MOM 2005. For more information, see Operations Manager 2007
Supported Configurations at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=89360.

Management Packs
Over the lifecycle of your MOM 2005 implementation, you have probably invested the most time
and effort in customizing vendor-written management packs and in developing custom
management packs for your company-developed applications. Because your MOM 2005
management packs currently provide information that is used daily, you probably want to use the
customizations in these management packs in Operations Manager 2007.

Note
MOM 2005 management packs cannot be imported into Operations Manager 2007. They
must be converted to the Operations Manager 2007 format first.
You can use the Operations Manager Migration Wizard to convert management packs from the
MOM 2005 format to Operations Manager 2007 format and to extract a list of MOM 2005 agent-
managed computers that you can import into the Operations Manager 2007 Discovery Wizard.
Operations Manager 2007 also provides command-line utilities, which are described in
Operations Manager 2007 Help.

Note
When you install and start the Migration Wizard, you will see that it is initially called the
System Center Operations Manager Migration Tool.
Before you begin converting MOM 2005 management packs to the Operations Manager 2007
format, you must inventory all the management packs that have been deployed and document all
the modifications that have been made to them. You need to know these modifications when you
modify the Operations Manager 2007 versions of those management packs in your migration
testing lab. Overrides are not converted as part of the management pack conversion because
they are not stored in management packs in MOM 2005.

7
Converted Management Packs and Operations Manager 2007
Native Management Packs
Operations Manager takes a fundamentally different approach to monitoring from MOM 2005.
The basic structure of Operations Manager 2007 management packs and their components has
changed. For more information, see the "Comparing MOM 2005 and Operations Manager 2007
Management Packs" section of this document. The tools and the object model that are used to
produce the Operations Manager 2007 management packs are different than those of
MOM 2005. A MOM 2005 management pack that has been converted to the Operations
Manager 2007 format is not the same as a management pack created in Operations
Manager 2007.
Microsoft-produced management packs that are converted by Microsoft are supported for a
limited time. Microsoft provides Operations Manager 2007 native versions of management packs.
For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=89473 for the current catalog.
There are two methods to convert MOM 2005 management packs, developed by your company,
to Operations Manager. You can use the Operations Manager Migration Wizard to convert the
management packs, apply your customizations, and import them into Operations Manager. This
method gives you functionality that is equivalent to what you had in MOM 2005. To take
advantage of the full Operations Manager 2007 object model, you should redevelop the
management pack by using the Operations Manager 2007 tools. For more information, see the
"Operations Manager 2007 Management Pack Authoring Guide" at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=85414.

Migration Order of Operations


How an organization uses MOM 2005 and integrates it into its daily process is unique to each
organization. Guidance on how you have to adapt and integrate your existing process to
Operations Manager 2007 is beyond the scope of this document because each company uses
MOM 2005 uniquely.
However, when you are developing your MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007 migration plan,
be sure to include the following tasks:
1. Evaluate Operations Manager 2007, and create an infrastructure design. For more
information, see the Operations Manager 2007 Design Guide.
2. Evaluate and document your current MOM 2005 implementation and process.
3. Implement Operations Manager 2007 in a test environment according to the design you
developed in step 1. For more information, see the Operations Manager 2007 Deployment
Guide.

Note
Be sure to include any connectors and tiered management groups, and have plans to
reproduce any customized MOM 2005 Reports with Operations Manager reports.
4. Download the Operations Manager 2007 versions of all available MOM 2005 management
packs. Check for new management packs regularly. Modify these in your test environment.
8
5. Convert and modify any management packs (including custom management packs) that were
not covered in the previous step, by using the Operations Manager Migration Wizard, and
then implement them in your test environment.
6. Implement Operations Manager 2007 in your production environment according to your
design and migration plan (using the same hardware or different hardware). For more
information, see the Operations Manager 2007 Deployment Guide.
7. Configure Operations Manager 2007 for production use. For more information, see the
Operations Manager 2007 Operations Guide.
8. Deploy the new and converted management packs. For more information, see the Operations
Manager 2007 Operations Guide.
9. Confirm all functionality in Operations Manager 2007 and test the integration of your
monitoring, alerting and, reporting processes.
10. Uninstall MOM 2005 components in the correct order. This process is described later in this
guide.

MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007


Infrastructure Migration
There are two options for migration from MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007.
 Install Operations Manager 2007 on new systems.
 Install Operations Manager 2007 on existing MOM 2005 systems.

New Systems
Installing Operations Manager on new systems involves creating a new management group for
Operations Manager components.

9
Figure 1 Using New Systems

Existing Systems
You can also install Operations Manager on an existing system by performing a side-by-side
migration.

10
Figure 2 Using Existing MOM 2007 Systems

Before you attempt a side-by-side migration, review recommendations for hardware.

Uninstall MOM 2005


Uninstall MOM 2005 components in the following order.
1. Active Directory Helper Object
2. Agents
3. Reporting Server
4. Web console
5. management server(s)
11
6. Operations console
7. Operational database
8. Data Warehouse

Note
In a tiered environment, we recommend that you uninstall the child management groups
and then the parent management group.

Comparing MOM 2005 and Operations


Manager 2007 Management Packs
Operations Manager 2007 is a redesigned product that is architecturally different from Operations
Manager 2005.There is no upgrade from an Operations Manager 2005 Management Pack to an
Operations Manager 2007 management pack. However, if you have a custom management pack
that you created for Operations Manager 2005 then it can be converted by using the Operations
Manager 2007 Migration Wizard.

Note
When you start the Migration Wizard, it is initially called the System Center Operations
Manager Migration Tool.

Choosing Management Packs to Convert


Before using the migration tool, you have to create a list of the management packs that you plan
to convert. There are many factors to consider. You should weigh the benefits and drawbacks of
converting each management pack before you add it to the list.
Management pack conversion is designed for custom management packs for applications or
services that do not have an Operations Manager 2007 management pack available. Because of
the difference in architecture between Operations Manager 2005 and Operations Manager 2007
and the many enhancements available in Operations Manager 2007, conversion is often not the
best choice for vendor management packs.
If there is an Operations Manager 2007 management pack available, then it is recommended that
you use the new Operations Manager 2007 management pack instead of converting an existing
Operations Manager 2005 management pack. For a list of available Operations Manager 2007
management packs, see the Microsoft Management Pack Catalog at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=71124.
Even if you have a number of customizations it is still not recommended that you convert the
Operations Manager 2005 versions of the Active Directory, Exchange Server, Internet Information
Services, or SQL Server management packs.

12
Management Pack Formats
The native format of an Operations Manager 2005 management pack is a binary file in an .akm
file format. This is the only format that Operations Manager 2005 management servers accept as
valid. Operations Manager 2007 does not use the .akm file format; instead, it uses XML as the
format for management packs. During the management pack conversion process the Operations
Manager 2005 management pack file is first converted from .akm file format to XML format. Then
the Operations Manager 2005 XML management pack file is converted to an Operations
Manager 2007 XML management pack.

Side by Side Comparison of Management Pack
Objects

14
Computer Groups
In Operations Manager 2005, computer groups are used to group computers with like
characteristics. Processing rule groups are then used to target groups of rules to these
computers. Operations Manager 2007 focuses on monitoring individual services and applications
instead of computer objects. This approach allows Operations Manager 2007 to monitor a
physical server separately from the software that is installed on the computer. When a computer
group is converted two object types are created. One object type is for the physical computer, and
the other one is for the software that is monitored.
For example, the Operations Manager 2005 version of the Microsoft SQL Server 2000
management pack contains a computer group for servers that are running SQL Server 2000. After
conversion, the Operations Manager 2007 management pack contains a Microsoft SQL
Server 2000 Computer Group and also an object type called Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Installation.

Discovery
Discovery is the process of finding objects that Operations Manager is configured to monitor. In
Operations Manager 2005, population of computer groups is done by computer discovery rules,
although the discovery of a computer's role is accomplished through service discovery scripts.
When an Operations Manager 2005 computer group is converted, two discovery rules are
created for use in Operations Manager 2007. One rule controls membership in the computer
group, and the other rule finds installed versions of the software that belong to the software
installation class.
Discovery of a computer's role is accomplished through the use of service discovery scripts.
These scripts are not changed during the conversion process. These scripts use the Operations
Manager 2005 Backward Compatibility management pack to work the same way in Operations
Manager 2007 that they do in Operations Manager 2005. No conversion is necessary.

Rules
Rules in Operations Manager 2005 either gather and analyze data, change the state of a
monitored object, or generate alerts. The health state of a monitored object is displayed with
colors in Operations Manager 2005 and Operations Manager 2007. These colors are green
(running and healthy), yellow (in danger of a failure), or red (failed). Rules that are designed to
change the health state of a monitored object in Operations Manager 2005 are converted into
monitors in Operations Manager 2007. Monitors calculate and display the state of a monitored
object in Operations Manager 2007.
In Operations Manager 2005, rules that do not change state look for a specific event and react to
that event in a defined way. An example of this type of rule is one that looks for a specific event in
the event log and then generates an alert when that event is found. These types of rules are
converted into Operations Manager 2007 rules. However, in Operations Manager 2005, these

15
rules are targeted to computer groups. After conversion, these rules are targeted to monitor
software installations in Operations Manager 2007.

Note
Each rule is contained within a rule group, and rule groups, in turn, are usually targeted to
monitor a computer group. Because rule groups are not used in Operations
Manager 2007, rules that are not targeted to anything or that belong to rule groups that
are not targeted in Operations Manager 2005 are not converted.

Filter Rules
Operations Manager 2005 uses filter rules. There are three distinct types of filter rules:
 Prefilter
 Conditional filter
 Database filter
Filters are not used in Operations Manager 2007, and these rules are dropped during conversion.

Views
Some view types are converted to an Operations Manager 2007 view type, but others are not.
The following table lists each view type in Operations Manager 2005 and, if it is converted, which
view type it is converted to in Operations Manager 2007. For a list of view types available in
Operations Manager 2007, see the Views in Operations Manager 2007 topic in the Operations
Manager 2007 Online Help.

Note
During the conversion process one State view and one Task Status view is created and
added to the Operations Manager 2007 version of the management pack.

Operations Manager 2005 View Type Operations Manager 2007 View Type

Alert view Alert view

Attribute view Not converted

Computer view Not converted

Computer Group view Not converted

Diagram view Not converted

Event view Event view

Performance view Not converted

Performance Data view Performance view

State view If the Operations Manager 2005 management

16
Operations Manager 2005 View Type Operations Manager 2007 View Type

pack has a view that displays service discovery


information, that view is converted to a State
view that displays computer roles in Operations
Manager 2007.

Knowledge
Knowledge from an Operations Manager 2005 management pack is converted to an Operations
Manager 2007 knowledge article. Both the product and company knowledge are combined into a
single Operations Manager 2007 knowledge article.

Tasks
Tasks in Operations Manager 2005 are actions that are started by users to diagnose or resolve a
problem or to automate repetitive actions. Tasks are configured to run on Operations Manager
management servers or agents in the Operations Manager 2005 Operator console.
Tasks that are agent tasks in Operations Manager 2005 are converted into Operations
Manager 2007 tasks. These tasks are then targeted to either the software installation object type
or to a service discovery object type. Tasks in Operations Manager 2005 that are set to run
against a management server rather than an Operations Manager agent are not converted.
Additionally, managed code tasks and tasks that are started from the Operations Manager 2005
Operator Console are not converted.
There are two new types of tasks in Operations Manager 2007; diagnostics and recoveries.
Diagnostics are actions that are designed to troubleshoot a degraded health state of a monitored
object. Recoveries are actions designed to run in reaction to a state change with the purpose of
fixing a diagnosed issue. Both diagnostic and recovery tasks can be run automatically or on
demand from the Operations Console. A converted management pack does not contain any
diagnostics or recoveries, although they can be added later.

Notifications
The notification engine is redesigned in Operations Manager 2007. As a result, notification groups
are not contained in Operations Manager 2007 management packs. Notification groups that are
defined in an Operations Manager 2005 management pack are not converted.

Operators
Operators should not be defined in vendor management packs. However, customers can export
operators as part of an Operations Manager 2005 management pack. Also, any operator that is
part of a notification group used by a rule in an Operations Manager 2005 management pack is

17
exported automatically. Operators are no longer contained in the management pack in Operations
Manager 2007, and as a result, operators are not converted as part of the conversion process.

Console Scopes
Console scopes in Operations Manager 2005 are used to control user access to Operations
Manager functions. Console scopes are not contained in an Operations Manager 2005
management pack file and are not converted.

Scripts
Scripts are distinct objects that are referenced by rules in Operations Manager 2005. Scripts are
often run on a timed basis for use in service discovery and monitoring, but they are also used as
responses to observed conditions and as tasks. Scripts are converted into module types in
Operations Manager 2007. These module types are used by one or more rules to pass
configuration data for script parameters.
Most Operations Manager 2005 scripts continue to function in Operations Manager 2007 without
modification by using Operations Manager 2005 Backward Compatibility management pack.
Operations Manager 2007 has a redesigned scripting model, and any new scripts should be
written to this new model. For more information about scripting in Operations Manager 2007, see
the Operations Manager 2007 SDK documentation.

Using the Migration Wizard


Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) provides the Operations Manager Migration
Wizard to assist you in migrating management packs from Microsoft Operations Manager 2005
(MOM 2005) to Operations Manager 2007. The Migration Wizard converts management packs
from the .akm file format to the XML format for use with Operations Manager 2007. The Migration
Wizard can also export a list of managed computers to simplify system discovery.

Note
When you install and start the Migration Wizard, you will see that it is initially called the
System Center Operations Manager Migration Tool.

Installing the Migration Tool


The MOM 2005 to Operations Manager 2007 Migration tool requires both MOM 2005 user
interfaces and Operations Manager 2007 Operations console. The Migration tool uses the
MPConvert.exe utility. For more information, see the Help for that utility.

18
Note
The Migration Wizard cannot be installed on an x64-based system. If necessary, install
Operations Manager 2007 Operations console on the MOM 2005 system and install the
Migration Wizard there.

To install MOM 2005 to OpsMgr 2007 Migration tool


1. Use local administrator privileges to log on to the system with Operations Manager 2007.
2. On the Operations Manager 2007 installation media, double-click the SetupOM.exe file.
3. In the Systems Center Operations Manager 2007 Setup dialog box, click Install
MOM 2005 to OpsMgr 2007 Migration tool.

The installation process creates a shortcut in the System Center Operations Manager 2007
group in the Start menu.
After you install the Migration Wizard, you can run it as part of your migration process.

Migrating your Management Configuration


This walkthrough uses the Migration Wizard to migrate management packs from a MOM 2005
management group, called MOMServer77, to XML format. This walk-through also exports a list of
managed servers for use in setting up the Operations Manager 2007 management group.
The wizard offers four paths for migration of management packs.
 MOM 2005 file to Operations Manager 2007 file
 MOM 2005 file to Operations Manager 2007 management group
 MOM 2005 management group to Operations Manager 2007 file
 MOM 2005 management group to Operations Manager 2007 management group
Migrating to a file then requires importing the management pack into Operations Manager 2007,
by using the same procedure as importing any management pack.

Note
It is recommended that you migrate to files, except for test management groups.
From Start, select Programs, select Systems Center Operations Manager 2007, and click
Migration Tool.
The Welcome page provides information about using the wizard. After you review this
information, click Next.
In the Source page, enter the name of your management server or use Browse to select it, and
then click Next. This is the management server for your MOM 2005 management group, in this
example called MOMServer77.
The Source page also provides the option of starting with management packs that are saved
as .akm files. If you select Migrate Management Packs for a file, a later page in the wizard
allows you to select the .akm files that you want to migrate.

19
Figure 4 Migration Source

The Migration Settings page specifies which elements to migrate. In this example, you migrate
managed computers and management packs. Management packs contain all the custom groups
and monitors that you have saved. You can select individual management packs under Select
the data to be migrated. After you select management packs, click Next.

20
Figure 5 Migration Settings

In this example, you export the list of managed computers to a file. That file can be copied into
the Discovery Wizard Discovery Method page. Enter a name for the Managed Computer
Export File, and then click Next.

21
Figure 6 Managed Computers

In the Destination page, the Migration Wizard provides two options for the output of
management packs. You can migrate directly to an Operations Manager 2007 management
server, or you can export the management packs to files for importing into your management
server.
If you select Migrate to a System Center Operations Manager 2007 Management Group,
enter the name of the management server, or click Browse to select it.
In this example management packs are migrated to files. Enter a destination directory for the
management packs, and then click Next.

22
Figure 7 Migration Destination

The Completion page displays your selected migration actions for review. If these are correct,
click Migrate.

23
Figure 8 Completing the Migration

After migration is complete, the wizard displays the status of the migration actions. When each
action is complete, the wizard marks it with a check for success or an X for failure. Click Finish to
close the wizard.
After completing conversion, import into Operations Manager 2007 the management packs that
have been exported to file. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=98348.
