We're going through a design review of our SCOM infrastructure and we're trying to understand how resource pools work. We have the 3 initial resource pools populated with the MS(rmse) and another MS for failover. We also have another resource pool for network devices with 3 MS's in it. As per the documentation we have set the 3 initial Resource pools to manual and removed the 3 network MS servers from them. We're trying to understand if the network devices Management servers make use of any of the 3 initial resource pool servers. (i.e. for availability/health aggregation do the network Management servers contact the servers in the All Management Servers pool?) If we were to create a new windows Resource pool and move the existing initial servers to it(leaving 3 initial resource pools empty) would the infrastructure still function correctly?
Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks
