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.

Before you begin

The Microsoft Operations Manager SDK component must be installed on the SCOM agent server only after the IBM Storage Management Pack is installed.

For the latest up-to-date information about this SDK, refer to the MSDN web page for System Center 2012 – Operations Manager SDK.

Procedure

There are two methods of installing the Microsoft Operations Manager SDK on the SCOM agent:

Install the SDK on the agent server. The SDK is installed in one of the following directories, depending on the Microsoft SCOM version that you are using:
- C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\SDK Binaries
- C:\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Console\SDK Binaries
Copy the SDK from the management server to the agent server in the following manner:
1. On the management server, find the 'SDK Binaries' folder located in one of the following directories, depending on the Microsoft SCOM version that you are using:
  - C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007
  - C:\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server
2. Copy the SDK Binaries folder to one of the following directories on the agent server:
  - Default directory for Microsoft SCOM 2012:
    C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager\Agent
  - Default directory for Microsoft SCOM 2007:
    C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Agent
  - Any local directory that you have defined in a configuration file named SDKdir.cfg. The file must be placed in:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\Storage\Host\IBMStorageSCOM\config
    
    The SDKdir.cfg configuration file should contain only one text line specifying the directory path.
