Tried installing 3.1.0 to a Windows 2008r2 with SCOM 2012 and got the following error:

Hi Ben -

 

 

I am not 100% sure that your issue is this one, but out of hundreds of installs, we've seen a handful of people run into a permission related issue on a temp directory created during installation. The work around for those folks has been to set/reset permissions on that temp directory then re-run setup.

 

 

Sample temp directory path

 

 

 

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\F5 Networks\Management Pack\

 

 

 

Let us know how that works for you. If it doesn't you may need to open a support case so formal troubleshooting can be done.

It did end up being a permissions issue with the temp directory. After I reset the perms by assigning a different user account perms and removing it the install proceeded correctly. However after installing to a custom directory not the suggested one in the installer, it doesn't update the environment variable for the path to the F5 management pack. I updated that and it starts discovery, but says unable to contact service. When I look at the F5 Monitoring Service it is set to disabled. When I enable it and start the service it gets to a started state only to stop less than a min later.

 

 

There is a trace log:

 

 

Global Critical: 0 : [7/2/2012 1:56:26 PM]The service F5MonitoringService is starting Global Error: 0 : [7/2/2012 1:56:48 PM]A data operation failed: Error=F5Networks.ManagementPack.DataAccess.ManagedConnections.OperationFailedException: An Operations Manager operation failed: One of the enumerations in the resulting object(s) contained data outside the allowable range. ---> Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.InvalidDatabaseDataException: One of the enumerations in the resulting object(s) contained data outside the allowable range. ---> System.ArgumentException: Requested value 'None' was not found. at System.Enum.Parse(Type enumType, String value, Boolean ignoreCase) at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.MonitoringRule..ctor(RuleGenerated generatedWrapper, ManagementGroup managementGroup, ManagementPack managementPack) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

 

 

Do I need to open a support case or have you seen this as well?

 

Hi Ben -

 

 

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you have a partial solution but unfortunate it didn't get you all the way there. The monitoring service issue you described is new to me. I do recommend opening a support case at this point. They'll want a reference to this thread as background.
