want to deploy the OMIMSSC appliance.
Before deploying the OMIMSSC appliance for SCOM
Before deploying OMIMSSC by using either Hyper-V or ESXi methods, ensure that:
● Virtual switch or VM network is enabled within the network of the Management Group to communicate with the OMIMSSC
appliance and the Management Server.
● The recommended memory space is available for VM on either Hyper-V or ESXi host. See the Support Matrix section.
Choose one of the following methods to deploy the OMIMSSC appliance:
● If you are using Hyper-V, then deploy a VM by using a VHD file. See Deploy and configure OMIMSSC on Hyper-V on page
21.
● If you are using VMware ESXi, then deploy a VM by using an OVA file. See Deploy and configure OMIMSSC on ESXi on page
22.
You can set up an NTP server to synchronize the time between Hyper-V host or ESXi host and a SCOM Management Server.
