Deploying Microsoft Operations Manager with the
BIG-IP system and iControl
Welcome to the BIG-IP LTM system - Microsoft® Operations Manager
(MOM) Deployment Guide. This guide is designed to help you get the most
out of your network by allowing your MOM installation to seamlessly
integrate with your BIG-IP system. This is done using the power of
iControl, F5's SOAP API exposed on each BIG-IP LTM system. Acting as a
Web Services endpoint, these devices can be programmatically controlled
using the iControl API to perform nearly any task on the system.
MOM 2005 delivers enterprise-class operational management by providing
comprehensive event management, proactive monitoring and alerting,
reporting and trend analysis, and system and application specific knowledge
to improve the manageability of Windows Server System environments.

For more information on iControl, see the F5 Developer Community,

Prerequisites and configuration notes
The following are prerequisites for this deployment:
◆ A MOM 2005 installation, including all sub-components.
◆ The BIG-IP system must be running version 9.1 or later. We recommend
version 9.2 or later.
◆ F5’s iControl v9 SDK. If you do not already have the iControl SDK, you
can download it (requires free registration) from DevCentral
http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=31
◆ Microsoft.NET Framework (with C# compiler).
◆ Write access to the file system on the MOM system.
Note: Write access is required to follow the procedures in this guide,
although it is not required for the functionality. A small change in the
way your MOM/iControl integration is configured would allow you to
store all necessary files on the nodes, rather than the MOM system.
◆ You need to download this iControl-Mom.zip file, which contains the
files necessary for this configuration.
Note
This document is written with the assumption that you are familiar with the
BIG-IP LTM system, iControl and Microsoft Operations Manager 2005.
Consult the appropriate documentation for detailed information.
