Creating the Server Software Package

  1. In the left pane in ConsoleOne where the ZfS 3.0.2 snap-ins have been installed, right-click the Server Software Packages namespace.

  2. Click File > New > Software Package. to start the Create New Server Software Package Wizard.

  3. Click Next.

  4. Enter a name for the software package, such as Delete Old Directories.

  5. Specify a path and filename for the software package template file (.SPK), such as C:\TEMP\DELETEDIRS.SPK.

    IMPORTANT:  If you save your .SPK file to a network server, use a UNC path so that you will still have access to that software package file if your drive letters change.

    You can also save your .SPK files to a workstation or server, because the .SPK file sizes do not become large. For this particular type of software package (where you are only giving instructions for deleting directories and are not compiling data files), the .CPK (compiled software package) version will be similar in size. Therefore, for management purposes, you may want to save these .SPK files and their corresponding .CPK files in the same location, which can be on a workstation or server.

  6. Click Finish.

  7. If necessary, click the plus sign to expand the Server Software Package namespace to view the new package.

Unless otherwise instructed, steps in the subsequent sections should be performed from the same instance of ConsoleOne you used in the above steps, because your .SPK files will be accessible from there.
