Upgrading ConsoleOne

ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management requires ConsoleOne^® version 1.3.6.

ZfD 4.x required that ConsoleOne be installed on the ZfD 4.x Server in order to install the ZfD 4.x snap-ins to the server. If desired, you could then copy the ConsoleOne directory from the server to a workstation in order to run ConsoleOne from the workstation.

ZENworks 6.5 enables you to install the Desktop Management snap-ins to both a ConsoleOne directory on the Desktop Management Server and a ConsoleOne directory on a local workstation. By default, the snap-ins are installed to the server when you upgrade it from 4.x to 6.5.

As you upgrade ConsoleOne to version 1.3.6, you need to ensure that:

• You install it to all locations from which you want to administer ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management.
• You keep at least one copy of a ConsoleOne installation that includes the ZfD 4.x snap-ins. This enables you to continue to manage ZfD 4.x during the upgrade process.

To perform a ConsoleOne upgrade:

1. (Optional) Make a copy of at least one ConsoleOne installation that includes the ZfD 4.x snap-in.

   ConsoleOne 1.3.6 supports the ZfD 4.x snap-ins. You have the option of making a copy of your current ConsoleOne with the snap-ins, waiting to make a copy of the ConsoleOne 1.3.6 installation with the snap-ins (see Step 3), or doing both.

   For example, if you have a ZfD 4.x Server with ConsoleOne 1.3.5 and the ZfD 4.x snap-ins located in the sys:\public\mgmt\consoleone\1.2 directory and you want to ensure that you retain a copy of that installation, create a sys:\public\mgmt\consoleone\zfd4 directory and copy all files and subdirectories from the 1.2 directory to the zfd4 directory.

2. Install ConsoleOne 1.3.6 to a local workstation or to a ZfD 4.x Server. To do so:

   1. Insert the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Companion 1 CD into the CD drive of the workstation to autorun the ZENworks 6.5 installation program.

      If the installation program does not autorun, launch winsetup.exe from the root of the CD.

   2. Select Companion Programs and Files.

   3. Select Novell ConsoleOne to launch the ConsoleOne 1.3.6 installation program.

   4. Follow the prompts to install ConsoleOne to the ...\consoleone\1.2 directory.

   When installation is complete, the ...\consoleone\1.2 directory contains ConsoleOne 1.3.6. If you installed ConsoleOne to a location that contains the ZfD 4.x snap-ins, the 4.x snap-ins still function.

3. (Optional) If you want to retain a copy of ConsoleOne 1.3.6 with the ZfD 4.x snap-ins, copy the installation you created in Step 2 to another location.

   IMPORTANT:  If you want to administer an eDirectory tree where ZfD 4.x has been installed, you must use ConsoleOne with the ZfD 4.x snap-ins. If you want to administer an eDirectory tree where ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management has been installed, you must use ConsoleOne with the ZENworks 6.5 snap-ins.

   If you try to administer a ZENworks 4.x object using the 6.5 snap-ins, you will be prompted to install the 6.5 license, even if you have already installed it, and you will not be able to administer ZENworks property pages.
