Hi,
Based on my knowledge, most SCOM 2007R2 MPs could work in SCOM 2012.
You could make Correlation Service run as local system on the RMS Emulator in SCOM 2012:

SO te correlation engine is still in a single instance mode unfortunately. SO the MP still works as it did in OM2007, but it does not take advantage of the resource pool possibilities yet. Nothing to do about that piece yet, they need to fix that.

Could I install the service on both MS and disable the service on the NOT emulator RMS role??
In the case of RMS failure, switch RMS emulator role and start the service??

I think that can be done. Have not tried it and give no guarantees. But I think it is an idea. On the other hand you can also have the installation and install steps at hand for the disaster recorvery scenario (together with the move rms emulator command).Bob Cornelissen - BICTT (My Blog about SCOM) - MVP 2012 and Microsoft Community Contributor 2011 Recipient

Hi Carlosdlra:
Bob has pointed you in the right direction and you are correct in your plan. There is no official best practice guidance yet, however it is believed that by installing the correlation service --disabled--on one or more members of the management server pool in addition to the RMSE, you could resume Exchange 2010 monitoring after loss of the RMSE--by transferring RMSE to another MS with the correlation engine installed, and enable and start correlation engine on the new RMSE.
