Installation

This chapter describes the installation of the IBM® Storage Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM, and includes the following sections:

Note: You can install the IBM Storage Management Pack on the Microsoft SCOM management server and on all site servers that run SCOM agents. This allows monitoring data to be collected by each SCOM agent service, which then sends the data to the SCOM management server.

Downloading the IBM Storage Management Pack
Download the IBM Storage Management Pack onto the host on which Microsoft SCOM is installed and used.
Installation package contents
Some components in the installation package are required and some are optional, as detailed in the following table.
First-time installation vs. upgrade
If a previous version of the IBM Storage Management Pack is already installed, you can upgrade it.
Running the installation wizard
To install the IBM Storage Management Pack, run the installation wizard as described in the following procedure.
Installing the Microsoft Operations Manager SDK on an agent server
The Microsoft Operations Manager Software Development Kit (SDK) is required for any IBM Storage Management Pack that runs on a SCOM agent server. The SDK is not installed by default on the SCOM agent server, and you need to install it manually.
Uninstalling the IBM Storage Management Pack
When any specific management pack is no longer needed, you can remove it individually from the System Center Operations Manager, or, if needed, you can uninstall all management packs together.
