Thanks Dkota,

in Step 1, you said migrate from Physical to virtual, you meant this? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc764232.aspx.

Also, during this process what will happen to the installed SCOM? will there be any change to SCOM installed on the Physical machine or it will continue to work normally after the P2V migration or there will be some issue?

After P2V, I have to upgrade the SCOM from 2007R2 to 2012 SP1, but what about clients?

They should be upgraded first right?

and the problem is, during the upgradation, we will have downtime..or it can be avoided..?

Also, Cant I directly upgrade from 2007 R2 to 2012 SP1 or 2012 R2, Do I need to follow Step2 or Step3?

Thanks

My recommendation would be to build a new, parallel SCOM 2012 infrastructure.  You can then upgrade your server agents to the 2012 version and have them multi-home to both your old and new SCOM.  Since the management pack format is the same, you can just export and import into the new 2012 environment.  This method minimizes any disruption in monitoring.  When you are ready to roll over to only 2012, turn up those subscriptions and disable the ones in your old 2007 environment.  Once happy with your 2012 monitoring, you can remove that management group from your server agents and decommission your 2007 infrastructure.
