General ZfD 3.2 Installation Procedure

To install ZfD in a network configured with Novell Clustering Services (NCS):

  1. From a network workstation configured with the proper Novell Client, log in as Admin to the directory tree where your cluster resides and map a drive to a previously configured cluster node.

    IMPORTANT:  Make sure that this workstation and all other administrative workstations are not running ConsoleOne while the ZfD installation is running.

  2. At the workstation, insert the ZfD Program CD.

    The WINSETUP.EXE program will autorun. If it does not autorun, run it from the root of the CD.

  3. Click English > Install ZENworks to launch the Novell Installation Service (NIS) program.

    NOTE:  You have the option of clicking Back to change your install preferences at any time while the NIS setup program is running.

  4. Click Next to display the End User License Agreement for the ZfD software > read the agreement > click Accept if you agree with the terms of the license and the limited warranty.

    If you do not agree with the terms of the software agreement, do not install the software.

  5. In the Install Prerequisites screen, check to see that the cluster node to which you are installing meets the minimum requirements listed > click Accept when you have read the list.

  6. In the ZENworks Install Types dialog box, click Custom > Next.

  7. In the Components dialog box, click the check boxes for the ZfD components that you want to install > click Next.

    NOTE:  If you choose to install Workstation Imaging and PXE (that is, Preboot Services software) on the cluster nodes, the ZENworks installation program does not currently allow the installation of PXE on two or more servers with the same operating system. It is necessary to perform the PXE installation separately for every node in the cluster.

  8. In the ZENworks Part Selection dialog box, click the check boxes for the parts you want to install, or uncheck the parts you don't want to install (files, schema extensions, directory objects) > click Next.

  9. In the ZENworks List of Trees dialog box, click the check box for the name of the Novell eDirectoryTM tree > click Next.

  10. In the ZENworks List of Servers dialog box, click the check box for the name of the cluster node or nodes > click Next.

  11. In the Inventory Database Server Selection dialog box, select the virtual server where you want to install the ZENworks Inventory database (you can also choose not to install the database at this time) > click Next.

  12. If you choose to install the Inventory database, a dialog box will be displayed where you can choose the cluster volume. Click the check box for the name of the cluster volume > Next.

  13. In the Languages dialog box, click the language of the files that you have chosen to be installed to the server > Next.

    NOTE:  English is chosen by default and must be installed in addition to any other language you choose.

  14. In the Automatic Workstation Import Management dialog box, select the Import (or Import/Removal) role for all of the servers where you are installing ZfD that will be part of the cluster > click Next.

    NOTE:  All of the servers participating in the cluster should have exactly the same role for Automatic Workstation Import. You should also make sure that the HOSTS file on the workstations being imported points to the IP address of the virtual server.

    For more information about server roles in Automatic Workstation Import, see Installing Automatic Workstation Import and Removal in Automatic Workstation Import and Removal in ZENworks for Desktops 3.2 Deployment Guide.
