Important
This section outlines the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for each MOM component. If you want to install more than one MOM component on the same computer, follow the highest minimum hardware requirements for any of the combined MOM components.
You can use the MOM Prerequisite Checker in MOM Setup to check the hardware and software prerequisites, and to create a report that lists which prerequisites your system meets or does not meet to install and use MOM 2005 SP1.
Note
Note
Table 5 Approximate Size of MOM 2005 SP1 Components on Disk
| MOM component | Estimated size on disk |
|---|---|
| Management Server | 150 MB |
| Database (EEADATA.MDF) | 1 GB |
| Log file (EEALOG.LDF) | 200 MB (The log file must be at least 20 percent of the database size or MOM will raise alerts). |
| Administrator console | 70 MB |
| Operator console | 120 MB |
| Reporting Server and Console (without Reporting Database) | 20 MB |
| Agent | 3 - 100 MB (depending upon Management Packs and cache settings) |
Every MOM component requires a supported operating system. For a list of the supported operating systems for each component, see the Supported Operating Systems section earlier in this data sheet.
This section outlines the minimum software requirements that you must have for each MOM component beyond the operating system. If you want to install more than one MOM component on the same computer, you must install the prerequisite software for all the combined MOM components.
Important
In addition to a supported operating system, you must have the following software:
You can install the MOM 2005 SP1 database on a SQL Server cluster in Active/Passive mode or in Active/Active mode.
Note
Installing multiple MOM Databases
You can install more than one MOM Database on one computer. The computer can be in a cluster or not. Each database must be on a different SQL Server instance and have different data and log file locations. To install more than one MOM Database on one computer you must use the MOMCreateDB.exe tool, which is available in the Support Tools directory on the MOM 2005 SP1 CD. While installing more than one MOM Database one a single computer is available, this practice in not recommended.
Note
To install the MOM Agent, there are no additional software requirements beyond a supported operating system. However, if you import any Management Packs that have Managed Code Responses, you must install the Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1.
SQL Server Cluster
You can install the MOM 2005 SP1 agent on a SQL Server cluster. The agent must be installed on all physical nodes of the cluster.
Important

Using the consoles over a slow link
You can use the Web console over a link as slow as 64 KBps, however the Administrator and Operator consoles are not suitable for this type of connection and is not supported. It is recommended that over slower links, that you use Terminal Services to connect to a computer that has the Administrator or Operator console and that is connected over a faster link to the Management Server. Satellite connections are also not supported.
Table 7 indicates the installation modes and setup types that MOM 2005 SP1 supports. Unless otherwise noted, these are for new installations of MOM 2005 SP1.

This section details the supported configurations that involve the use of firewalls separating MOM components or configurations that involve MOM components being installed in a non-trusted domain or a workgroup. For more information about firewalls and non-trusted domains in your MOM environment, see the Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Security Guide.
Important
Important
Your IT environment might use firewalls that separate MOM computers. Depending on your topology, this separation might present an issue. Table 6 shows when using a firewall between MOM 2005 SP1 computers is supported and when it is not.

2 - User configurable.
Your IT environment might be composed of both trusted domains and non-trusted domain, or workgroups. Depending on your topology, this separation might present an issue. Table 7 shows when a connection across a trusted/non-trusted barrier is supported for MOM computers.
Table 10 - Non-Trusted Domain Compatibility with MOM 2005 SP1
| Connection | Non-Trusted | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Management Server - Agentless | NO | Management Server�s Action Account must be administrator on remote computer |
