Create highly available resource pool by adding another Management Server to an existing Management Group

After installation of the first SCOM Management Server and after creation of the first Management Group you can add additional management servers and join them to the existing management group. Multiple management servers joined in a single management group ensure that your monitoring service is fault-tolerant and multiple management servers are able to handle larger workload and greater number of clients.

Add SCOM Management Server to existing management group

In order to have highly available monitoring solution you need to install another SCOM Management Server to another VM or physical server.
