2.6 Upgrading the ZENworks VM Manager Console to PlateSpin Orchestrate VM Client

If you installed the ZENworks Orchestrator VM Manager console, the new version (PlateSpin Orchestrate VM Client) must be installed in its place. There is no upgrade option for this component.

To install the new client, you must do the following:

  1. Before upgrading ZENworks Orchestrator to PlateSpin Orchestrate, check out all of the VMs from the Warehouse, then perform that upgrade (see Section 2.1, Upgrading the ZENworks Orchestrator Server Components).

    VMs that are checked in to the Warehouse cannot be recovered in PlateSpin Orchestrate. They must be checked out before upgrading in order for them to be discoverable in VM Client.

  2. Uninstall the ZENworks VM Manager client:

    • Windows: Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, select the ZENworks Orchestrator VM Manager item, then click Remove.

    • Linux: Run the following command:

      /opt/novell/zenworks/vmmanagement/Uninstall_ZENworks_VMM/Uninstall_ZENworks_Orchestrator_VM_Manager_1.3.0

  3. Follow the steps in Installing the Orchestrate VM Client in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 Installation and Configuration Guide to install the new client.
