Upgrading Management and Monitoring Services

To upgrade Management and Monitoring Services, perform the following tasks in order:


Preparing to Upgrade to ZfS 3.0.2

To prepare for upgrading ZfS 3 or ZfS 3 SP1 to ZfS 3.0.2:

  1. Review the Readme for any last-minute information concerning upgrading.

    README.TXT is located at the root of the ZENworks for Servers Program CD or in the ZENWORKSFORSERVERS directory on the ZENworks 6 Server Management Program CD. READMEZFS302.HTML is located in the DOCUMENT directory on the Program CD, and the most up-to-date HTML version is located on the Novell Documentation Web site.

  2. Make sure you have met all of the server requirements listed in Meeting Management and Monitoring Services Requirements for NetWare and Windows Servers.

    The basic hardware and software server requirements remain the same between ZfS 3 and ZfS 3.0.2.

  3. If Java* has not been unloaded on the target NetWare servers, unload JAVA.NLM.

    For example, at each NetWare server's console prompt, type:

    java -exit

    This will also cause all ZfS software to stop running on the server.

  4. Select the workstation you will use to perform the upgrade.

  5. Continue with Using the Upgrade Wizard.


Using the Upgrade Wizard

To upgrade ZfS 3 or ZfS 3 SP1 to ZfS 3.0.2:

  1. On the upgrade workstation, insert the ZENworks for Servers Program CD or the ZENworks 6 Server Management Program CD.

    The startup screen is displayed. If the startup screen is not automatically displayed after inserting the CD, run WINSETUP.EXE at the root of the CD.

    IMPORTANT:  If you copied the Program CD structure to the upgrade workstation's hard drive, the path between the root of the hard drive and the first CD directory can contain only directory names that conform to the 8.3-character DOS file naming convention. If any long directory names exist in the path, the upgrade program will not work.

  2. Click the ZENworks for Servers 3 Management and Monitoring Services Install or Upgrade option.

  3. Select the Upgrade Site Management Services from ZfS 3 or ZfS 3 SP1 to ZfS 3.0.2 option.

    We recommend that you choose the upgrade option only to upgrade the existing version of ZfS 3 or ZfS 3 SP1 to ZfS 3.0.2. Select the install option if you only want to install ZfS 3.0.2.

    The Management and Monitoring Services Installation Wizard launches.

  4. Click Next to continue.

  5. After you have read and agreed to the Software License Agreement, click Yes to continue with the installation.

  6. Select the desired ZfS components listed in the following table.

    IMPORTANT:  You need Admin or equivalent rights to target servers. Select the shared folder on all Windows NT servers where the ZfS 3 or ZfS 3 SP1 agents are installed. Share the folder if you have not already done so.

    1. Select the NetWare servers and the agents to upgrade on each server > click Next.

    2. Select the Windows NT/2000 servers and the agents to upgrade on each server > click Next.

  11. Review the summary list of selections you made in the preceding steps. To change a setting, click Back.

  12. Click Finish to upgrade to ZfS 3.0.2.

If you chose not to start all the back-end services and the autodiscovery process during the upgrade, you need to manually start the back-end services and the autodiscovery process now.

For Managed servers on NetWare, the ZfS agents are automatically started. For Managed servers on Windows NT/2000, you must start the SNMP service after you upgrade the agents.
