System center operation manager 2012

Is it possible to deploy SCOM 2012 by creating instance on existing SQL server 2008 (On Win 2008 r2) server? Would it risk other critical database I have on SQL if I use same SQL server for SCOM 2012 deployment .

Is there a documentation on using existing SQL server for deployment?

Recommendation is to use a dedicated SQL Server instance but it will work if you're using an existing one. You just need to provide the existing SQL Server instance name during SCOM installation/configuration.

Would I need to get DB admin credentials from database team? or will create DB with the credentials entered during the installation of SCOM or do I need to ask DB team to pre-stage DB with credentials and then install SCOM?

Hi Vitor,

would it work if I add the scom installation account to the local admin of SQL server or I also need to add it as admin on database admin on SQL database?

During the installation it will request for SCOM credentials and the setup program will add it to the SQL Server instance.
