You have a System Center Operations Manager 2007 environment. You create a custom management pack that monitors server temperature. You need to automatically shutdown a server if it exceeds a specific temperature. What should you do?
A.
Modify the monitor properties for the server temperature to create a threshold override For all objects of type: temperature.
B.
Modify the monitor properties for the server temperature to create a recovery task that runs the shutdown.exe /s command.
C.
Create an event alert that monitors server temperature. Create an agent task that runs the shutdown.exe /s command.
D.
Create an event alert that monitors server temperature. Create a console task that runs the shutdown.exe /s command.
Explanation:
B: CORRECT
Tasks
As with views, there are tasks that are available when Operations Manager is installed, tasks that are imported along with management packs, and tasks that you can create on your own. Since there are so many tasks available from the default and imported management packs, you should verify whether a task that can perform the action you need already exists. Of course, there are those tasks that are part of sealed management packs that you do not have access to outside of the management pack. If this is the case, you may very well have to duplicate the functionality of the task.
Tasks come in two flavors: command-line tasks and scripts. Command-line tasks allow you to create a single command that is run on either the management server or the agent. Scripts can be written and then targeted to the management server or agent in order to run on them. With either of these approaches, the operator can select a system to target, and then run the task manually from the Operations Console. These manually run tasks enable the operators to run diagnostic tasks to help determine what is wrong, or run recovery tasks to help solve the problem causing the alert.
