Using the Typical Install Option

Although you may eventually choose another installation type, the Typical install option documented here contains information you will need to know when you install using any of the options in your production environment. The sections include:


Running the Typical Installation Option

Use the steps in this section to get ZfD up and running on a NetWare or Windows NT/2000 server using the Typical install option:

  1. Select a network workstation (or a Windows NT/2000 server) where you can later run ConsoleOne to administer ZfD. This is the workstation/server where you will run the ZfD installation program.

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

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

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

    At any time while the NIS setup program is running, you have the option of clicking Back to change your install preferences.

  3. Click English > Install ZENworks to launch the NIS setup program.

    A warning dialog box is displayed to let you know that this version of ZfD is English only and will overwrite a localized version of ZfD previously installed on your server.

    1. Click Yes to continue.

  4. At the Novell Product Installation dialog box, read the notes and cautions > click Next to display the License Agreement for the ZfD software.

  5. Read the License 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.

  6. In the Install Prerequisites dialog box, ensure that the network server or servers to which you are installing meet the minimum requirements listed > click Accept when you are ready to proceed.

  7. In the ZENworks Install Types dialog box, select Typical > click Next.

  8. In the ZENworks List of Trees dialog box, click the name of the NDS tree where you want to install ZfD > click Next.

    If you are installing on a server where a previous version of ZfD Workstation Inventory or the Inventory database is installed, a ZfD3.2 Upgrade Notice is displayed. You have the choice of selecting Upgrade or Full Install.

    If you choose Upgrade, only ZfD 3.2 Inventory enhancements will be installed on the ZfD 3 servers.

    If you choose Full Install, the servers you select later will have the Sybase database and the policies and configurations overwritten.

    1. Click the type of install you want, depending on your test environment.

  9. In the ZENworks List of Servers dialog box, click the names of the servers where you want to install ZfD > click Next.

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

    If you choose to install the database, a subsequent dialog box will be displayed where you can choose the server volume where you want to install it. You should choose a volume other than SYS: to avoid filling up vital disk space on that volume. For more information, see Setting Up Workstation Inventory.

  11. In the Languages dialog box, English is chosen by default. Click Next.

  12. In the Automatic Workstation Import Management dialog box, select the Import (or Import/Removal) role for at least one of the servers where you are installing ZfD > click Next.

    For more information about server roles in Automatic Workstation Import, see Understanding Automatic Workstation Import and Removal in Automatic Workstation Import and Removal in Deployment.

  13. In the Inventory Server Roles dialog box, select the assignment you want to give to each of the Inventory servers you have created > click Next.

    For more information about server roles in Workstation Inventory, see Implementing the Inventory Server Roles in Deployment.

  14. In the ScanDir Volume dialog box, select the server volume where you want the scan data files to be stored. For more information, see Setting Up Workstation Inventory.

    1. If you previously chose to install the database, you will be prompted to enter a unique site ID and name on the Site ID for Database dialog box. For more information, see Setting Up Workstation Inventory.

  15. Click Next to continue.

  16. In the Summary dialog box, review the list of the products to be installed and the disk space that each product will consume when installed > click Finish to begin the installation process.

  17. If you have chosen to install ZfD Preboot Services, the ZfD 3.2 Preboot Services dialog box is displayed to remind you that you will have to insert the Preboot Services CD in the CD drive, or browse to the appropriate PXE files. Click OK.

  18. In the Preboot Services Source Location dialog box, select the location (at the root of the CD) where the ZFDPXE file is located > click OK.

    NOTE:  If you copy the ZfD Program CD and the ZfD Preboot Services CD to a local drive, the installation program will not prompt for a change of CDs. For more information, see Preboot Services CD Installation Options.

The Typical install option checks to see if you have the proper rights to copy files and to extend the schema, then the program executes these processes for each ZfD component until all are installed.


Preboot Services CD Installation Options

If you choose to install ZfD Preboot Services, the ZfD installation program requires a discrete subinstall of this feature. Because the Preboot Services software is available only on a separate CD, you have three options for installing the PXE software:

  1. Copy the ZfD Program CD to a network location and use the ZfD Preboot Services CD in the local CD drive of the workstation you are using for the installation. You would use this method if you want to install PXE at different times or to different servers.
  2. Use the ZfD Program CD in the CD drive of the workstation you are using for installation, then swap to the Preboot Services CD when the Preboot Services subinstall is called. You would use this method if you want to visit several sites to perform multiple installations.
  3. Copy the ZfD Program CD to the hard drive of the workstation you are using for installation, then copy the Preboot Services CD to the \PXE subdirectory now located in the directory you created when you copied the ZfD Program CD. You would use this method to perform any number of installations on servers accessible from your site. It does not require swapping CDs. Be aware that by default, this installation method will install Preboot Services every time the installation runs. There will be no prompts or pauses.

Determining Whether the NDS Schema Has Been Extended

After you install ZfD 3.2, you can use the ConsoleOne Schema Manager tool to determine whether your NDS schema has been extended by the ZfD 3.2 product installation program. When the schema has been extended for ZfD 3.2, attributes are added to the list.

To use the Schema Manager after the ZfD 3.2 product installation:

  1. From ConsoleOne, click Tools > Schema Manager.

  2. Click Attributes to open the list of schema attributes.

You should see the following attributes if ZfD 3.2 is installed:

ZENLOCZfD3Installed
ZENLOCZfD3SP1Installed
ZENLOCZfD332Installed
