Advanced Monitoring with System Center Operations Manager 2007 and System Center Virtual Machine Manager

This blog will now focus on advanced monitoring of heterogeneous data centers. This includes traditional physical servers, both Microsoft and non-Microsoft platforms. It will also include the virtual space, both Hyper-V as well as VMware. Lastly, it absolutely will include networking components!

Configuring OpsMgr with SCVMM 2008 – VMM Service Account

If your SCVMM and OpsMgr environments are distributed, it is important to make sure the virtual machine service runs under a dedicated domain account and not Local System. Otherwise, you will receive the following message when you try to specify the RMS in the VMM Administration Console:

The Virtual Machine Manager service does not have required credentials to access the Operations Manager SDK service on ‘servername-rms’.

Add the VMM service account as an Administrator on the Operations Manager server, and then try the operation again.

ID: 11804

As the resolution states, you will need to add the VMM Service Account to the Management Group’s Administrator role otherwise you will not be able to complete the integration.

I don't know what the "VMM Service Account" is. How do I add it? In OpsMgr I only can add groups in the Administrators role. I don't understand how to solve this problem.

On the server which hosts the RMS Role, add the VMM Service Account to the local administrators group OR whatever group you designated the OpsMgr Administrators during the installation of OpsMgr (SCOM).

I changed the VMM account from a computer account to a service account. I was able to successful integrate SCOM after the change, but now I cannot remotely connect to the console. I can connect when logged on to the VMM server locally. I receive the following error: You cannot access Virtual Machine Manager server VMMServer. ID:1604

Reset the VMM Service to Local Service, add your account in User Roles to the Administrator Profile Type.

Set the Service to use the service account again.

Save and reboot the server.

You're done.

If you installed SC VMM using the System Account, just add the Computer Account of your SC VMM Computer to the local Administrators on your root management server.
