Starting Point • The first questions you need to ask yourself… • What is my target SCOM version? • Looking at LTSB or SAC versions * • In-place upgrade (single or multiple) or side-by-side? • Depends on your current version • Depends on current health and setup * Note: SAC has been stopped
System Center release cadence System Center 2016 October 2016 System Center 2019 March 2019 LTSC Releases* System Center 1807 July 2018 System Center 1801 Feb 2018 SAC Releases** SC2016 UR7 April 2019 SC2016 UR5 April 2018 SC2016 UR6 Oct 2018 SC 2016 URs * LTSC releases are supported for 5 year (mainstream) + 5 year (extended) ** SAC releases are supported for 18 months

In-place vs Side-by-side In-place • Pros • Less configuration work • Immediately start using new features • Cons • Prefer to not perform when upgraded before! • Anything wrong with the previous setup stays and increases Only do this for a Healthy management group! Be prepared to restore all management servers and SQL databases involved when anything goes wrong.
In-place vs Side-by-side Side-by-side • Pros • Fresh environment • No interruption of service • Move teams after configuration is done • Move to new Windows and SQL versions • Cons • Double number of servers / storage required • Agents multi-homed • Loss of historic data • More configuration work
Upgrade paths multiple SC products • Upgrade sequence: • Service Management Automation • Orchestrator • Service Manager • Data Protection Manager • Operations Manager • Virtual Machine Manager • Service Provider Foundation • Windows Azure Pack UPGRADE Example for the 2012R2 -> 2016migration
In-Place upgrade https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/scom/deploy-upgrade-overview?view=sc-om-2019
Beforeyou upgrade ! • Use an account with local administrator rights on: • SQL Server (both cluster or always-on scenarios) • SCOM Management Servers • SCOM Web and Reporting Servers • Sysadminrole on the SQL Server • SCOM Administrator Tip: Often the SDK/DAS account would have these rights or the account used to install the existing SCOM
BEFORE you upgrade • All SCOM infrastructure is healthybefore continuing! • SCOM infrastructure version • Windows and SQL versions • Clean up ETL Table using a script
Before you upgrade (more...) • OperationsManagerdatabase 50% free space • OperationsManager transaction log 50% size of database size • Remove agents from Pending Management • Disable Notification Subscriptions • Disable the IIS Web Console site in IIS • Disable Connectors
Before you upgrade (more...) • Optional: agents cache size • Check an additional 2 times: complete backups of management servers, and all SCOM databases! • Upgrade management servers 1 by 1 starting with the RMSe • While upgrading each MS make sure ALL SCOM services are stopped on all the other MS.
Perform in-Place upgrade • Stop SCOM services on all MS • Start with RMSe management server • Microsoft CLR types for SQL Server 2014 • Microsoft Report Viewer 2015 runtime • Upgrade of SCOM components installed • Credentials of service accounts needed! • Upgrade the next management server(s)
Perform in-Place upgrade • Initialize for half an hour OR MORE • Implement the latest SCOM Update Rollup • Check if everything is still healthy! • SCOM gateway servers • Web Console Server(s) • Report Server • SCOM Consoles installed on other servers/machines • Upgrade agents
Perform in-Place upgrade • Post-Upgrade tasks • Enable Notification Subscriptions • Enable Connector services • Re-Enable ACS for the agents • Check the health of SCOM again • Remaining consoles and agents to upgrade: that’s OK
Perform Side-by-Side upgrade • Install SCOM 2016/2019 environment • Configure SCOM defaultsettings (like enable Proxyfor all agents) • Multi-Home agents
Perform Side-by-Side upgrade • Import Management Packs bit by bit and configure/tune • Bring the override management packs which are good from the old SCOM • Setup other components, like ACS, AEM, Dashboarding, Log Analytics connection, Reports, Subscriptions, Connectors etc.
Perform side-by-side upgrade Retire old SCOM • Clean out the old SCOM by first removing the agent multi-homing • Next old SCOM server infra can be broken down if no access to the old data is needed.
SCOM Logon as a Service • SCOM Management Servers -> the 4 SCOM service accounts • SCOM Management Servers -> SCOM Admins if push deploy • SCOM agent -> If a runas account is used (example: SharePoint MP) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\System Center\Health Service Worker Process Logon Type (REG_DWORD) 2 = Log on locally 5 = Log on as a service
