Explanation: 

Install the integration pack for SCSM on Orchestrator and configure the connection settings 

(SCSM server name, User, Password) 

Create a new runbook 

First activity -> "Monitor Object" of SCSM integration pack -> Incident Class -> On Update -> Filter "Support Group" not equal "Tier 1" 

Add 6 "Send Email" activities -> 6 different recipients -> add the text in each mail body 

Link all 6 "Send Email" activities with the first "Monitor Object" activity 

On each link delete the default rule "On success" 

Add a new criteria -> Choose the "Support Group" from the data bus ->criteria of the first link "Support Group" equals "Tier 2" 

Do the same with the other Links and Support Groups. 

Check in and start the runbook

Answer: A,C 

Explanation: 

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230719.aspx 

To define a service level objective for an application Open the Operations console with an account that is a member of the Operations Manager Administrators user role. 

Click Authoring. 

In the navigation pane, expand Management Pack Objects, and then click Service Level Tracking. 

In the Tasks pane, click Create. 

In the Service Level Tracking dialog box, type a name for the service level that you are defining. For example, type LOB Application 1. Optionally, you can provide a description. 

Click Next. 

On the Objects to Track page, under Targeted class, click Select. 

In the Select a Target Class dialog box, select a class for the service level, such as Distributed Application, from the list in the text box. You can search for a class by typing its name into the Look For text box. Click OK to close the Select a Target dialog box. 

You can use the Scope option to specify the scope for the service level. The default selection is to use all objects of the targeted class. 

Select the management pack that this service level will be saved in. You can use an existing management pack or create a new one. 

Click Next. 

On the Service Level Objectives page, click Add, and then click Monitor state SLO to create a new monitor. 

This monitor will track the availability of the application. 

Define the state monitor as follows: 

In the Service level objective name text box, type a name for the service level objective. 

For this scenario, type Availability. 

From the Monitor drop-down list, choose the specific monitor that you want to use to measure the objective. For this scenario, choose Availability. 

Using the Service level objective goal (%) spin box, provide the numerical measure for your objective. For example, select 99.990 to indicate that your goal is 99.99% availability. 

You can refine what the monitor tracks to determine availability by selecting or clearing any of the following state criteria: 

Unplanned maintenance 

Unmonitored 

Monitoring unavailable 

Monitor disabled 

Planned maintenance 

Warning 

Click OK. 

On the Service Level Objectives page, click Add, and then click Collection rule SLO to create a new collection rule. This rule will track the performance of the application Define the performance collection rule as follows: 

In the Service level objective name: text box, type a name for the service level objective. 

For this scenario, type Performance. 

Under Targeted class, click Select to open the Select a Target Class dialog box. Specify the target class for the rule from the list of targets in the text box. Note that this class must be contained in the distributed application. 

For this scenario, select the specific class the rule is targeted to, such as Windows Server 2008 Operating System. 

Under Performance collection rule, click Select to open the Select a Rule dialog box. 

Specify the performance collection rule to use. For this scenario, choose Collect Processor\ % Processor Time performance counter, and then click OK. 

Using one of the Aggregation method options, choose one of the following: 

Average 

Min 

Max 

Use the Service level objective goal drop-down list to specify either Less than or More than, and enter a value in the adjacent text box. For this scenario, choose Less Than and 80. 

This indicates that the performance goal is to never exceed 80% processor time. 

Click OK. 

On the Service Level Objectives page, click Next. 

On the Summary page, review the settings, and then click Finish. 

When the Completion page appears, click Close.

Box 1: Create an IP address pool. 

Box 2: Install the provider for the hardware load balancer 

Box 3: Add a hardware load balancer 

Box 4: Create a Virtual IP (VIP) template 

Box 5: Copy and modify the App1 service template. 

Note: 

*(box 1) When you create a static IP address pool for a VM network, VMM can assign static 

IP addresses to Windows-based virtual machines (running on any supported hypervisor 

platform) that use the VM network. By using static IP address pools, IP address 

management for the virtual environment is brought within the scope of the VMM administrator. 

* (Box 2, Box 3) Prerequisite for adding a Hardware Load balancer include: 

You must obtain the load balancer provider from the load balancer vendor, and install the 

provider on the VMM management server. 

* Setting the load balancer affinity enables you to provide some control over which load 

balancer will be used for a service. This is based on logical network information. VMM uses 

this information to determine the valid static IP address pools that are accessible from both 

the load balancer and the host group that the service tier will be deployed to. 

* By adding load balancers to VMM management and by creating associated virtual IP 

templates (VIP templates), users who create services can automatically provision load 

balancers when they create and deploy a service. 

*(box 4) A VIP template contains load-balancer-related configuration settings for a specific 

type of network traffic. For example, you can create a template that specifies the load-

balancing behavior for HTTPS traffic on a specific load balancer by manufacturer and 

model. 

* (box 5) A load balancer must be configured before you deploy a service. After a service is 

deployed, you cannot add a load balancer by updating the service. 

Q15. -(Topic 7) 

Your company has a private cloud that is managed by using a System Center 2012 infrastructure. 

The company defines the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for a web application as 99 percent uptime.
