Configuring Workstation Inventory

After you have completed the ZENworks 6.5 SP1 Desktop Management Services installation, you need to configure Workstation Inventory to work in the clustering environment. The following steps provide the configuration information you need:

  1. Configure the Inventory database object. If you have selected Sybase* during Desktop Management installation, the installation program creates the Database object (Inventory database_server_name) and configures the properties of this object. Skip Step 1.a and Step 1.b. If you are using Oracle* or MSSQL*, continue with Step 1.a.

    1. If you are maintaining the Inventory database in Oracle or MSSQL, ensure that you have created the Database object and configured the properties. For more information, see Configuring the Inventory Database Object on a NetWare Server.

    2. To configure the Database object for a cluster environment: In ConsoleOne®, right-click the Database object, click Properties, click ZENworks Database, Browse for the DN (NCP server object) of the virtual server or specify the IP address of the virtual server, and then click OK.

  2. If, during installation, standalone configuration is not selected then while creating database location policy set inventory database to Inventory database_virtual_server_name.

  3. While creating Workstation Inventory policy set inventory service object DN to Inventory Service_virtual_server_name.

  4. To configure all rollup policies, select the Inventory service object of the cluster service (Inventory Service_virtual_server_name).
