The latest Update Rollup for SCOM 2016 is out, you can get it here
A decent update fixing a couple of issues that have been around for a while. As always test before applying to your production environments.
What’s new and fixed?
- Fixed: On Windows Computer View of SCOM Console, Queries are optimized for better performance.
- Fixed: We have updated SPROC to handle Alert Source Path Names which are greater than 512 in length. It was a mismatch where the table which was populating the DB was allowing larger strings while the table which was populated in this view took only 512. This caused data truncation and subsequently console crash.
- Fixed: Made changes to the IP address parameter to support both IPv4 and IPv6 windows cluster.
- Fixed: Fixed the issue with conversion of data smaller than 0.01 which was generated by Rule or Monitor. The data was transformed to a wrong (big) value on systems with OS locale language which has comma (“,”) instead of dot (“.”) as decimal format.
- Fixed: Fixed the schedule reports through the Schedule Management Wizard in APM AppAdvisor. Previously, it was failing with XML Malformed exception.
- Fixed: In a scenario where SCOM monitors 100s of virtual machines hosted on a single Hyper-v server; every hour the MonitoringHost.exe of each Virtual machine write into the VM page file simultaneously. Due to this concurrent paging, every hour disk I/O increases and database becomes unresponsive. HealthService.exe now have Memory Trimming enabled by default on an hourly schedule. A registry key is provided to disable the memory trimming and control the duration.
Registry key is: “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Setup\MonitoringHost\MemoryTrimming“Enable – 0 (Trimming is disabled); 1 (trimming is enabled)DelayInSeconds – Time period agent waits to start trimming (default is 120s)PeriodInSeconds – Recurring period at which the working set should be trimmed (default is 3600s)
- Fixed: Downtime duration will be calculated correctly for non-US time format in Downtime Report.
- Fixed: fn_MPVersionDependentId creates an ID for each installed MP. The ID is a SHA1 hash of string “MPName, Version, Schema”. When the “Schema” part is omitted, it generates different hash which doesn’t match with the expected value. In the fix, “Schema=2” part is re-added in fn_MPVersionDependentId.
- Fixed: We have made sure that correct end date for Availability, Health and Performance Details are shown in reports
- Enabled support for MSOLEDBSQL driver so that users may move from SQL Native Client.
