Installation instructions for Operations Manager

Known issues for this update

• After you install this update rollup package on all roles on the server that is running System Center Operations Manager 2012 Service Pack 1 (except on the Agent and Gateway roles), the updates do not appear in the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel.
• After you apply Update Rollup 6, the Operations Manager console must be reopened in order to apply the Alert Attachment Management Pack fix.
• After you install this update rollup package, the version number of the console is not changed.
• If the ACS update package is installed, uninstalled, and then re-installed, the database upgrade script that is included in this update does not run. This is because the database version is changed during the first installation of the ACS update. This issue can cause a server crash if the user reuses a partition when the partition is in use. The partition can be closed manually by using SQL Server Studio. To do this, navigate to the ACS database, and then run the following script in a query editor window:
  
  

  begin tran  -- mark all active partitions for closing if (select count(*) from dtPartition where Status = 0) > 0 update dtPartition set Status = 1 where Status = 0  commit tran

  
  To create a new partition, stop AdtServer, run the script, and then start AdtServer again.
  
• After you install the update rollup package on a web console, you may receive the following error message in Internet Explorer:
  
  
  Server Error in '/OperationsManager' Application.
  
  To resolve this issue, close and then restart Internet Explorer.
  
  
• When you try to import Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.Component.Library, the import fails because of missing dependencies.
  
  To resolve this issue, import Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.Component.Library again.
