SFWHA and SCOM monitoring
Hi all,
When we try to monitor SFWHA with SCOM we run into the issue that we seem to have 2 management packs looking at the same instances.
One mgmtpack (general sql2005 windows mgmtpack) shows a sql instance as being faulted while the SFWHA mgmpack does not show this. (which is correct) As sql services are not running on the inactive node you would suspect that the inactive state is not shown as "faulted".
Does this mean that on a cluster you disbale the standard packs?

Glad to hear you are using the latest packs and the service and not the executable.
As for your understanding or what our SQL MP does, I would say this is partially correct. While our SQL MP does disable some original discoveries, with the customized discoveries we add, there should not be any loss of functionality for SQL discovery. Our SQL MP should perform all of the regular items that the Microsoft SQL MP does plus additional discovery for SQL managed in an SFW-HA environment.
Please do not hesitate to let me now if you have any other questions.
