2 Integration package 2.1 Integration requirements The integration package only supports the integration into SCCM 2012. SCCM 2012 thus determines the requirements for installing the integration package. The site server (also known as the configuration management server ) on which the integration package is to be installed must be configured as a management point. Windows 2008 must be installed on this server. ServerView: At least Microsoft Windows Update Service (WSUS) 3.0 SP2 must be installed on the site server that is to be used as a software update point. Windows 2000 SP4 (or higher) and ServerView Agents Version 4.7 (or higher) must be installed on the PRIMERGY servers that are managed by the SCCM and on which the SCCM configuration management agents run. ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM 9
Installing and uninstalling the integration package 2.2 Installing and uninstalling the integration package 2.2.1 Installing the integration package The ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM is installed on the configuration management server. The following program allows you to install the pack automatically or to be guided through the installation by a wizard: ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM.msi You will find this program on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 1 under: ServerView Suite - Integration Solutions or in the Fujitsu download area under http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/com/support/downloads.html full text search ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM I The pack must be uninstalled before it can be reinstalled. An update is not possible. Use the following command in the Windows command prompt to start the installation: msiexec [/qn] /i ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM.msi [<options>] An automatic installation is started if you specify the qn parameter. You can specify the following options (among others) in the command call: ALLUSERS=1 1 = The integration package is visible to all system users. Without this option, the pack is only visible to the user who installs it. TRANSFORMS=<language ID>.mst With TRANSFORMS you can supply installations in different languages. The default language is English. For an installation with a German user interface use TRANSFORMS=de.mst. For an installation with a Japanese user interface use TRANSFORMS=ja.mst. 10 ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM
Installing and uninstalling the integration package /l*v <file name> An installation log file is generated in the current directory if you specify the /l option. After a successful installation, the clients detected after a discovery run are listed by type under Collections in the Configuration Manager Console of the SCCM: ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM 11
Installing and uninstalling the integration package 2.2.2 Uninstalling the integration package You can use one of the following three options to uninstall the integration package: Windows uninstall program In the Windows Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs. Then choose Remove to start the uninstall program for the ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM. Restart the installation wizard If the pack is already installed, it can only be uninstalled when you restart the installation wizard. In this case, the Remove option is automatically preselected, and can only be confirmed by choosing Next. Call the following command: msiexec [/qn] /x ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM.msi 12 ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM
3 ServerView integration 3.1 Updating the scan program Updating the scan program To provide the ServerView update process in SCCM, you require the scan program SVUMScanTool.msi. The scan program is not part of the ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM, but is available on the Fujitsu support server and as an SCCM update package. The ServerView Agents (Version 4.70 and higher) installed on the PRIMERGY servers automatically call this program on the servers on a cyclical basis. It finds all Update Manager components installed on the machine and enters their data in the Windows Registry. A Registry Provider assigns this data to the FJSV_UMComponents WMI class. The data is then available to SCCM in the Software Updates Scan Cycle and as inventory data in the SCCM Resource Explorer. Distribute the scan program This program must be distributed to the PRIMERGY servers in SCCM: 1. after SCCM is installed for the first time (see chapter Initial steps after installation on page 15) 2. after an update of the scan program itself (see below) Update the scan program The latest version of the scan program is contained in the current software update catalog and can consequently be updated in the context of a software update. Additionally the newest version of the scan program is available on the Fujitsu support server at https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/gfsms/globalflash. If you are integrating software updates and SVUMScanTool.msi has the status required (see Point 5 on page 19), you should initially only distribute this program to the PRIMERGY servers, and then distribute the actual software updates in a second step. ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM 13
Updating the scan program I If you have installed a new hardware component on your SCCMmanaged PRIMERGY servers, or added new PRIMERGY models to SCCM Update Management, you should also install the latest version of the scan program on these systems. The new version ensures that updates for the new components can also be correctly detected and updated. Uninstall the scan program If you no longer want to use the ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM integration package and wish to uninstall it, note that the scan program is not automatically uninstalled with the pack. In such a scenario, you must explicitly delete the scan program using one of the following methods: Global deletion on all PRIMERGY servers using a distribution package you create yourself in SCCM. This distribution package must contain the following command: msiexec /qn /X {<product code>} ALLUSERS=1 The product code changes each time the scan program is updated. You can determine the current product code in two ways: You take the valid product code from the registry on the PRIMERGY servers: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Fujitsu\ServerView Suite\Update ScanTool\Setup\ProductCode If the SCCM Inventory has been extended and a hardware scan cycle has been executed, you will find the product code of the ServerView Update Management Scan Tool for the PRIMERGY server concerned in the SCCM Resource Explorer. Local deletion on each individual PRIMERGY server using the Windows uninstall program 14 ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM
Initial steps after installation 3.2 Initial steps after installation 1. You must begin by doing the following (if you have not done so already): Define the distribution point and the software update point in SCCM. Define the software update point as an update server in the Microsoft System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP). 2. The scan program for determining which Update Manager components are installed on a machine must be distributed to (installed on) the PRIMERGY servers in SCCM. You can do this in the Software Library panel under the Application Management folder with the action Create Application. Requirement for this is that the latest scan program package SVUMScanTool.msi has been downloaded from the Fujitsu support server (https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/gfsms/globalflash) onto a network drive or local drive of the site server. ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM 15
Integrating the update process into SCCM I The scan program is part of the SVUMScanTool.msi package. Since this pack is also part of Update Management, the cyclical call option (here: a cyclical re-installation, if not yet installed) should not be used the first time it is distributed with SCCM. 3.3 Integrating the update process into SCCM The steps described below are required in order to integrate the required software updates of the ServerView Update Manager into SCCM. I These steps are necessary whenever you upgrade the Update Catalog version. 1. The Software Update Catalog must be imported into the SCUP. To do this, start the SCUP and add the software update catalog as a Microsoft partner catalog. You can then import the catalog with the function Import Software Updates Catalogs. You will find the catalog at: https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/gfsms/globalflash/fjsvumcatalogforsccm.cab The catalog contains the descriptions of PRIMERGY software updates which are available in the PRIMERGY Support Package or Autonomous Support Package format. 16 ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM
Integrating the update process into SCCM After the import, the updates are displayed in the SCUP under Fujitsu. 2. The updates must then be transferred to the WSUS server (software update point). To do this, select the relevant updates in the SCUP and execute the objectspecific action Publish to transfer them. ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM 17
Integrating the update process into SCCM 3. Next, the updates must be imported from the WSUS server into SCCM (synchronization). To do this, start SCCM and import the updates manually under Software Library All Software Updates with the object-specific action Synchronize Software Updates. 18 ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM
Integrating the update process into SCCM 4. After synchronization, each of the specified updates is displayed, together with its status, in SCCM: 5. As a final step, the updates are distributed to the relevant PRIMERGY servers with the status required when you execute the object-specific action Deploy. I A distribution executed in this way currently always returns the value 0. As a result, the only indication that it has actually been successful is if an update has the status (Installed). The return value 0 is also entered for each update as Pending Reboot Code. ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM 19
Specific actions for PRIMERGY servers 3.4 Specific actions for PRIMERGY servers The first time you call the actions specified below, you are asked to specify the connection-relevant values, namely: the IP address of the irmc or ServerView Operation Manager, the port number and the protocol security level (SSL on/off). The values entered are stored in the irmc.ini and SVS2.ini files, so that they do not have to be entered again the next time the action is called. You will find these files in the SCCM installation path. 3.4.1 Start irmc Console This action, which is only available after you select a PRIMERGY server, starts the ServerView Remote Management irmc Web Server for the selected PRIMERGY server. 20 ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM
Specific actions for PRIMERGY servers 3.4.2 Start ServerView Operations Manager This action, which is only available after you select a PRIMERGY server, starts the ServerView Operations Manager for the selected PRIMERGY server. ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM 21
Offline update repository 3.5 Offline update repository For security reasons, computers in a productive environment do not normally have an Internet connection. To allow updates to be distributed via SCCM resources in this scenario, an offline update repository is required, i.e. there must be local access to a locally stored copy of the Fujitsu update repository https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/gfsms/globalflash. Such an offline repository is created with the BuildLocalRep tool. With the help of this tool you can download the entire Fujitsu update repository or part of it (option- p) into the specified directory (option -d). With the partial download, the following arguments are permitted: Relative path name of an update component or of update components within the repository (including * as wildcard). Example: -p SystemBoard/D21*TX* Type specification of the update components. The following types are allowed: Firmware, Driver, Application. In the process, the scan program SVUMScanTool.msi and the update catalog FJSVUMCatalogForSCCM.cab are always downloaded. If necessary, the update catalog FJSVUMCatalogForSCCM.cab will be saved with a new name (-n option). Afterwards the download URL details within the update catalog FJSVUMCatalogForSCCM.cab are adjusted to the new local directory. The call syntax is as follows: BuildLocalRep -d <Local Share Folder> [-p <Partial Repos Specification>] [-n <Name of Catalog>] [-u] [-t] [-v] -h -d <Local Share Folder> The Local Share Folder must be specified in UNC format, i.e. in the syntax \\<server_name>\<release_name> (e.g.: BuildLocalRep -v -d \\172.23.233.88\SCCM_LocalRepository ). -p <Partial Repos Specification> Partial download of the Fujitsu update repository. -n <Name of Catalog> New name of the update catalog FJSVUMCatalogForSCCM.cab. 22 ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM
Offline update repository -u -t -v -h Use http for downloading (default is https). Use the file %TMP%/BuildLocalRep.log for logging. Show progress on the screen. Output the command syntax. This catalog is thus ready to be imported into the SCUP. Once there, the relevant updates can be transferred to the WSUS server ('published') and are then finally available to SCCM for distribution. BuildLocalRep is not part of the ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM, but is available on the Fujitsu support server at https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/gfsms/globalflash.

4 Appendix: Integrating the update process into SCE This chapter describes what steps are required to integrate Update Management - as in SCCM - into System Center Essentials (SCE). If they have not already been carried out, the following tasks must first of all be performed once on the SCE console: Computer Discovery using the Computer and Device Management Wizard Configuration of Update Management using the Update Management Configuration Wizard The steps described below are needed to subsequently integrate the required software updates of the ServerView Update Manager into SCE. I You must always perform these steps when a new version of the Software Update Catalog is available. 1. The scan program for ascertaining the Update Manager components installed on a computer must be loaded onto a network drive or local drive of the site server and a software package must be created from this which must be distributed to the clients. I The distribution of this software package is a prerequisite for permitting the updates of the ServerView Update Manager to be assigned the correct status information. You will find the scan program at https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/gfsms/globalflash/svumscantool.msi To create the software package, start the SCE console, switch to the Software folder and start the New Software Package Wizard (see the figures below) using the Create New Package... task. ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM 25
In the first step you must specify the absolute path name of the scan program - which was saved locally beforehand - in the Package setup file field. 26 ServerView Integration Pack for Microsoft SCCM
