I’ve finally got round to having a look at this video about Operations Manager cross platform extensions. Wow. I wish i’d seen this before. Just look at how easy it is to manage and report the health of Oracle, MySQL, Solaris, Apache, Unix and Linux systems – all in one interface.
Operations Manager with Barry Shilmover
The back end of this uses system uses open source so it’s familiar to Linux and UNIX users. it allows Operations Manager to discover Unix and Linux environments and then uses WS manager to manage them in the windows GUI
You can see all the systems with the agent installed, Operations Manager will view and install the agent on all of these systems. you can then use health explorer to see the availability and health of the systems, configuration and performance of the systems. it all ties in to reporting so that Operations manager can report on all of the systems.
You can have a look at the servers and services – all in Operations Manager, identify problems and components that are giving issues – no matter which platform the server is running.
So powerful – so amazing. – especially if you’re trying to manage a heterogeneous environment. you can now manage these 2 environments – side by side.
Well worth 11 minutes of your time…
