Pre-Installation Checklist

• Review the Readme for any last-minute information concerning installation.

  Readme_servers.html is located in the \readmes\en directory on the ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Program CD, and is also accessible from an installation menu option.

• Make sure you have fulfilled all of the installation requirements in Preparation.
• To install from a hard drive instead of the Program CD, copy the CD structure to a location on your installation machine's hard drive.

  We recommend that you install Server Management from the Program CD.

  IMPORTANT:  If you copy the Program CD structure to the installation machine's hard drive, the path between the root of the hard drive and the first CD directory can contain only directory names that conform to the 8.3-character DOS file naming convention. If any long directory names exist in the path, the installation program will not work.

• If you are reinstalling Server Inventory, you must perform the following tasks before reinstalling:

  1. Identify the servers that need Server Inventory reinstalled.

  2. Stop the Inventory service.

  • On a NetWare Inventory server: At the server console prompt, enter sys:\system\invstop.ncf.

    NOTE:  If you do not want the Sybase database to be stopped automatically when you stop the Inventory services, comment the Unload dbsrv8.nlm line in the sys:\system\invstop.ncf file.

  • On a Windows 2000/2003 Inventory server: In the Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools > double-click Services > select Novell Inventory Service > click Stop.

  3. Stop the Inventory database.

  • On NetWare: At the Sybase console prompt, press the Q key.
  • On Windows 2000/2003: In the Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools > double-click Services > select Novell Database - Sybase > click Stop.

  4. If Java has not been unloaded on the target NetWare servers, unload java.nlm (at the server console, enter java -exit).

  IMPORTANT:  This command stops all Java processes running on the server. Verify that all Java processes can be stopped while you are installing Server Management.

• If you have any instance of Novell ConsoleOne^® running on a target server via a mapped drive from a workstation, or running from the installation machine, exit those instances of ConsoleOne before running the installation program.

  If ConsoleOne is running on a target server via a mapped drive on your installation machine, or it is running from the installation machine, the ZENworks Server Management snap-ins for ConsoleOne will fail to be installed at those locations.

• On the workstation you will use to install Server Management, if you have not already done so, log in to all eDirectory trees where you will be installing Server Management software.

  Authentication: You will automatically be authenticated to all of the target NetWare servers in the trees you are logged in to during installation, so that you can select those servers for installing the Server Management software.

  Schema Extension: You will be extending the schema for ZENworks Server Management on one of these trees. Regardless of where a target server resides, its associated Distributor or Subscriber object is created in the tree where you extended the schema.

  Inventory Trees: Make sure that the eDirectory trees with servers where you want to install the Inventory server or the Inventory database components have the ZENworks Server Management schema extended prior to installing the Inventory software.

  Also, If you want to install Proxy Service along with other Server Inventory or Policy and Distribution Services components to different servers residing on different eDirectory trees, log into the tree having the server where you want to install the other Server Inventory or the Policy and Distribution components.

• If you will install software to any Windows servers, make sure you have authenticated to the servers or a domain containing the servers.

  This enables you to select Windows servers for installing the Distributor and Subscriber software. However, if you are not logged in to a Windows server before starting the installation, you can authenticate during installation using a username and password in the Add Server dialog box where you select the Windows server for installation.

• If you will install software to any Windows servers, make sure you have closed the Services window on each Windows server.

  The installation program automatically stops all ZENworks Server Management services. However, the Server Management services cannot be registered if the Services window is left open during installation to the server.

• If you will be installing the Inventory server component, make sure that the name of the server where you will install the Inventory server and the tree in which the server resides does not contain "#".

Continue with Starting the Installation Program.

Starting the Installation Program

1. Do one of the following to display the main installation menu:

   1. If you copied the contents of the ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Program CD to a hard drive, run winsetup.exe from that hard drive location.

      IMPORTANT:  If you copied the Program CD structure to the installation machine's hard drive, the path between the root of the hard drive and the first CD directory can contain only directory names that conform to the 8.3-character DOS file naming convention. If any long directory names exist in the path, the installation program will not work.

   2. On the installation machine, insert the ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Program CD.

      The main menu is displayed. If it is not automatically displayed after inserting the CD, run winsetup.exe at the root of the CD.

      
      

2. Select the Server Management option.

3. Continue with Extending the Schema.

Extending the Schema

The schema must be extended on the eDirectory tree where you want to create the ZENworks objects.

This menu option can also be used to update a 90-day Evaluation License to a full license by identifying the tree where ZENworks objects have been created and entering a license code.

To extend the schema:

1. Select the Server Management option to display the ZENworks Server Management menu.

2. To extend the schema for ZENworks Server Management objects, click Schema Extensions and Product Licensing to display the ZENworks License Agreement page.

   
   

3. If you agree with the Software License Agreement, click Accept, then click Next to display the eDirectory Tree for Creating Objects page; otherwise, click Decline and Cancel to exit.

   
   

4. Select the tree where you want the ZENworks objects created, then click OK to display the ZENworks Server Management Licensing page.

   The Login button allows you to log into the tree if you are not already authenticated.

   ZENworks Server Management schema extensions need to be done only once for a tree. If you have multiple trees, you need to extend the schema only on the trees where you will be installing ZENworks objects.

   Schema extensions for all ZENworks Server Management components (Policy and Distribution Services, Server Inventory, Remote Management, and Management and Monitoring Services) are installed at the same time when extending the schema.

   
   

5. Enter a license code, or leave the field blank and click Next to display the Summary page.

   If you leave the field blank, the 90-day Evaluation License is in effect. You can return to this page at a later date to enter a license code.

   You should have received the license code when you purchased the product. If not, contact Novell, Inc. .

   
   

6. To extend the schema, click Finish.

   After the schema extension process has completed, the main installation menu is displayed.

7. Continue with Policy-Enabled Server Management.

Policy-Enabled Server Management

1. Click Policy-Enabled Server Management to start the installation program.

   The License Agreement page is the first installation page displayed when the program has loaded.

   
   

2. If you agree with the Software License Agreement, click Accept, then click Next to display the Installation Type page; otherwise, click Decline and click Cancel to exit.

   
   

3. On the Installation Type page, click Next to perform a new installation and display the Installation Options page.

   or

   To install from a saved installation configuration file, click Template Installation, browse for or specify the path and the filename, then click Next.

   
   

4. On the Installation Options page, click Next to accept the defaults and display the eDirectory Tree for Creating Objects page, or configure the options, then click Next.

   • Create eDirectory Objects:  

     • For a first-time installation, this check box must be selected.
     • Select this check box if you want to reinstall Distributor software. This is required for re-creating the Distributor's eDirectory object.
     • Select this check box if you want to install additional Subscribers. This creates the Subscriber's eDirectory object, installs its Subscriber software, and assigns its trusted tree to be the tree that you select in the next installation page.
     • Deselect this check box if you only want to reinstall Subscriber software, such as to a server that already had a Subscriber object created for it.
     • Deselect this check box if you only want to install Subscriber software to a server that does not have a server object in any eDirectory tree, such as a Windows server that is in a Microsoft domain. You can identify its trusted tree in a later installation page.
     • If you want to independently install the ConsoleOne snap-ins, the Inventory Agent, or the Proxy Service, deselect the Create eDirectory Objects check box. You do not need to access an eDirectory tree to install these items.
     • If you install or reinstall the Inventory sever or database, you must select the Create eDirectory Objects check box.

   • Install Software Files: Must be selected to install the Distributor or Subscriber software. If you are only installing eDirectory objects, deselect this check box. If you install or reinstall the Inventory sever or database, you must select the Install Software Files check box.

   • Pause File Copying When Necessary to Display Messages and Report Errors: By default, this check box is selected. If you want to have an unattended installation (and check the installation logs later), deselect this check box.

5. Continue with:

   • eDirectory Tree for Creating Objects, if the Create eDirectory Objects check box is selected.
   • Server Selection, if the Create eDirectory Objects check box is deselected.

eDirectory Tree for Creating Objects

This page is displayed only if you selected the Create eDirectory Objects option on the Installation Options page.

1. Browse for the target tree, click OK, then click Next to display the Server Selection page.

   This is the tree where you want the ZENworks objects to be created during installation.

   This installation page displays only if you selected installation of ZENworks Server Management objects.

   This automatically becomes the trusted tree for all Subscriber servers selected in the next installation page. The trusted tree is where the Subscriber receives its configuration updates.

   IMPORTANT:  If you selected the Create eDirectory Objects check box on the Installation Options page, both NetWare and Windows servers will have eDirectory Subscriber objects created in the tree that you identified in the eDirectory Tree for Creating Objects page. However, if you deselected this check box, you should identify a trusted tree for each Subscriber in the File Installation Paths and Options page.

   On the File Installation Paths and Options page, you can create different configurations for different sets of objects. Therefore, you can select objects that might have different installation paths and different trusted trees.

   For more information on trusted trees, see "Subscriber Software Configuration and Trusted Trees" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Administration Guide.

2. Continue with Server Selection.

Server Selection

1. On the Server Selection page, if you installed ConsoleOne on your installation machine, enable the ConsoleOne Snap-ins check box for Local Machine.

   Local Machine refers to the Windows machine you are using to perform the installation.

   Workstation: If the local machine is a Windows 2000/XP workstation, you can install only the ZENworks Server Management ConsoleOne snap-ins for Policy and Distribution Services, Server Inventory, and Remote Management.

   Server: If the local machine is a Windows 2000 server (with or without eDirectory installed), you can install the following:

   • ZENworks Server Management ConsoleOne snap-ins for Policy and Distribution Services, Server Inventory, and Remote Management
   • Remote Management Agent
   • Inventory Agent
   • Inventory Proxy service
   • Inventory database

     IMPORTANT:  If you choose to install the Inventory database on a server without eDirectory installed, the database objects are not created automatically. You must manually create the database objects. For more information, see "Setting Up the Sybase Inventory Database" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Administration Guide.

   The Inventory server can only be installed on a Windows server that also has eDirectory installed.

2. On the Server Selection page, click Add Servers to display the Add Servers dialog box.

   
   

   For more information on using the Add Servers dialog box, click its Help button.

3. Browse for the servers where you want to install Server Management software, then click OK.

   IMPORTANT:  You cannot add a cluster object using this field, or you will receive an "Unknown Host" error. Instead, add cluster objects by browsing for the objects and adding them into the Available Servers box.

   The selected servers are displayed below the Local Machine option on the server selection page.

   Add Servers dialog box: The Add Servers option displays the Add Servers dialog box, where you can browse for both NetWare and Windows servers by selecting either NetWare trees or Microsoft domains from a drop-down box. You can select servers individually or in multiples (using Ctrl and Shift). You can also select groups of servers by selecting eDirectory containers, Windows workgroups, and Microsoft domains.

   IMPORTANT:  If you choose to remotely install the Inventory Agent or the Remote Management Agent on a Windows 2003 server configured as Domain Controller, you must specify the hostname or the IP address of the server in the Add Server Via Hostname/IP Address field.

   To install to a Windows server that does not have Novell Client running on it (and therefore you cannot install to it locally), browse for and select the Windows server that doesn't have the client so that you can install ZENworks 6.5 Server Management to it.

   The Inventory server can only be installed on a Windows server that also has eDirectory installed.

   You can choose to install the Inventory database on a server that does not have eDirectory installed, but the database objects will not be created automatically. You must manually create the database objects. For more information on how to manually create the database objects, see the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Administration Guide.

   Make sure you have selected all of the NetWare and Windows servers before exiting the Add Servers dialog box.

   Also browse for the workstations where you want the ConsoleOne snap-ins installed. You must have previously installed ConsoleOne to each of these workstations.

   External Subscribers: The installation program requires an eDirectory context for placing Subscriber objects. If you add a Windows server from a Microsoft domain that does not have an eDirectory object, in another installation page you are asked to browse and select an eDirectory context where the Subscriber object can be created and associated with the Windows server.

   However, if you intend for this Windows server to be used only as an External Subscriber, do not install the Subscriber object and software at that time. Instead, you can later install the Subscriber software locally on that machine (which will not have a Subscriber object), then create the External Subscriber object for it in ConsoleOne. For more information on External Subscribers, see "External Subscribers" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Administration Guide.

4. Configure each server listed on this page.

   HINT:  To quickly configure a specific role or set of roles for one or more servers, select them, right-click the selection, then select the role. The options that apply to that role are automatically selected. Repeat for additional roles.

   
   

   The following options are available for each server listed.

   
   

   ZENworks Policy-Enabled Management Services 

   The following three options are all selected by default. If you want to install the Inventory Agent, you must also select the Policy and Distribution Server option.

   • Policy and Distribution Server: For each server that you want to be a Subscriber, select this check box.

   • Inventory Agents: Select this check box for each server that you want to inventory.

   • Remote Management: Select this check box for each server that you want to remotely manage.

   Additional Options 

   The installation program detects whether these options are already installed on a target server and dims the option label. You can still select the check box to reinstall the component.

   • Distributor: The Subscriber service is installed automatically to all target servers. Select this check box to also make a server a Distributor.

   • Server Management Database: This is the Policy and Distribution Services database that the Distributor logs to. You should install it on the same server as the Distributor in order to minimize network traffic for database logging.

     IMPORTANT:  You can install the database to multiple servers per run of the installation program; however, you can only install one database per server. On the Database Settings page, you will be able to individually configure each database that is being installed. On the Database Logging page, you will identify which of the databases being installed is to be the one database for initial logging.

   • Inventory Database: Select this check box for the servers where you want to install the Inventory database to run on Sybase.

     IMPORTANT:  If you want to use the Inventory database with an existing Oracle or MS SQL setup, do not select this option during the Server Inventory installation. Follow the steps in "Setting Up the Inventory Database" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Administration Guide.

   • Inventory Server: Select this check box for the server where you want to run the Inventory services.

     WARNING:  If you choose to install on servers that are not residing in the tree, but you have logged into the tree and chose to create eDirectory objects, the installation program also creates eDirectory objects in this tree.

   • Inventory Proxy Server: Select this check box for the servers where you want to install and configure an XML Proxy server.

     If you want to send or roll up the scan data to an Inventory server that is across the firewall, you must configure a NetWare or Windows server to run the XML Proxy service.

   • ConsoleOne Snap-ins: For any server where you installed ConsoleOne, enable the ConsoleOne Snap-ins check box.

     IMPORTANT:  ZENworks Server Management does not support using a server's console to run an instance of ConsoleOne installed on that NetWare server. To use the server's installation of ConsoleOne, you must map a drive from a workstation to that server and run ConsoleOne from the workstation.

   You can configure a group of selected servers with the same options by selecting the group and right-clicking the group. This displays the Custom Selection dialog box.

5. When you have finished configuring the selected servers, click Next to display the File Installation Paths and Options page.

   If you have invalid DNS names, you could receive an error message asking whether to continue installing using IP addresses. Either fix the DNS name problems, or continue by using IP addresses for the affected servers. For information on configuring DNS, see Ensuring Successful DNS Name Resolution.

   IMPORTANT:  1) During installation, ZENworks Server Management updates .ncf files with installation path information. Because NetWare uses a DOS code page instead of a Windows code page, double-byte or extended characters cannot be used in paths, or the .ncf files will not execute. Therefore, do not use double-byte or extended characters in any part of an installation path, including a NetWare volume name.

   2) If you continue with only IP addresses, you must manually enter the correct DNS hostname on the Other tab in the server object properties of these servers in order to use Server Management.

6. Continue with File Installation Locations and Options.

File Installation Locations and Options

This page is displayed only if you chose the ZENworks Policy-Enabled Management Services option for one or more servers. This includes Policy and Distribution Services, Server Inventory, and Remote Management.

1. Click Next to accept the defaults on the File Installation Locations and Options page, or configure the following fields, then click Next to display the Distributor Object Properties page.

   Software Installation Volume/Drive: If you change the beginning of the path to a different volume or drive, then all subsequent paths displayed in the installation program automatically matches your change.

   IMPORTANT:  Do not use double-byte or extended characters in any part of an installation path, including a NetWare volume name.

   Each field on this page is configurable per server. You can make configuration changes server by server, or select multiple servers and make the same configuration changes to all of them. For example, you might want the same installation volume for all of your NetWare servers.

   Trusted Tree: If you deselected installation of eDirectory objects for ZENworks Server Management, an empty Trusted Tree field is displayed and must be filled in.

   When you install the Subscriber software to a server in another tree or in a Microsoft domain, and you do not want to create a Subscriber object in your Distributor's tree, you must identify the trusted tree for the Subscriber server.

   The trusted tree has two purposes:

   • To locate a Distributor that can give the Tiered Electronic Distribution configuration information to the Subscriber
   • To indicate which tree to accept policies from

     If you do not select a tree to be recognized as the Subscriber server's trusted tree during installation of only the Subscriber software (no object installation), your Policy Package Distributions cannot extract and be enforced on that Subscriber server, because policies often point to objects in a tree.

   Launch Policy and Distribution Services on Startup: Leave this check box selected to have the installation program configure the startup processes to automatically launch Policy and Distribution Services any time a server is started.

   Start Services When the Installation Is Finished: Leave this check box selected, because the Subscribers' passwords are reset when the service starts.

2. Continue with the applicable section for the installation page that is displayed next:

   • Distributor Object Properties
   • Subscriber Object Properties
   • Database Settings
   • Inventory Standalone Configuration
   • Inventory Proxy Service Configuration
   • Remote Management Configuration
   • Policy and Distribution Services Database Logging
   • Installation Summary

Distributor Object Properties

This page is displayed only if you chose the ZENworks Policy-Enabled Management Services option for one or more servers.

You can change the default settings for Distributors individually, or in groups by selecting multiple Distributors listed in the left pane.

To change the defaults for any of the Distributors:

1. Select one or more Distributors in the left pane, then edit the following fields as necessary:

   • Object Name: The default Distributor object name includes the server's name.

     IMPORTANT:  Do not use double-byte or extended characters in object names.

     If you want to rename the Distributor objects, we recommend that you maintain the servers' identities in their names, including the fact that they are Distributors.

     To rename each Distributor object, you need to repeat Step 1, because you cannot give the same object name to multiple Distributors.

   • Container: The location of the Distributor server's NCP Server object is the default.

     We recommend that you use the containers that you may have created for Distributor objects.

     Where eDirectory is not installed on a Windows server, that server will not have a default container object displayed. You must select a container for the Distributor object.

   • Working Directory: For NetWare servers, the default working directory is on the sys: volume.

     If you change any part of the default path, such as a directory name, and that new entry does not yet exist on the server, the Distributor creates that new path the first time it needs to use it.

     The default volume on a NetWare server is sys:. If the working directory has the potential to become quite large because you expect to have many very large Distributions and/or many revisions of large Distributions for this Distributor, we recommend that you specify a different volume. For most Distributors, you can retain the sys: volume.

2. Repeat Step 1 for each different Distributor or set of Distributors.

3. Click Next to display the Subscriber Object Properties page.

4. Continue with the applicable section for the installation page that is displayed next:

   • Subscriber Object Properties
   • Database Settings
   • Inventory Standalone Configuration

   • Policy and Distribution Services Database Logging
   • Installation Summary

Subscriber Object Properties

This page is displayed only if you chose the ZENworks Policy-Enabled Management Services option for one or more servers.

You can change the default settings for Subscribers individually, or in groups by selecting multiple Subscribers listed in the left pane.

To change the defaults for any of the Subscribers:

1. Select one or more Subscribers in the left pane, then edit the following fields as necessary:

   • Object Name: The default Subscriber object name includes the server's name.

     IMPORTANT:  Do not use double-byte or extended characters in object names.

     If you want to rename the Subscriber objects, we recommend that you maintain the servers' identities in their names, including the fact that they are Subscribers.

     To rename each Subscriber object, you need to repeat Step 1, because you cannot give the same object name to multiple Subscribers.

   • Container: The location of the Subscriber server's NCP Server object is the default.

     If you have created containers for Subscriber objects, we recommend using these containers.

     You should use the same context for all Subscriber servers of the same operating system type. For example, place all NetWare Subscriber servers' objects under a NetWare container and all Windows Subscriber servers' objects under a Windows container.

     Where eDirectory is not installed on a Windows server, that server does not have a default container object displayed. You must select a container for the Subscriber object.

   • Working Directory: If you change any part of the default path, such as a directory name, and that new entry does not yet exist on the server, the Subscriber creates that new path the first time it needs to use it.

     For NetWare servers, the default working directory is on the sys: volume.

   • Working Context: If you anticipate Desktop Application Distributions will be received by a Subscriber, browse for where you want related objects to be stored.

     You can add a working context later in ConsoleOne for any Subscriber that receives Desktop Application Distributions.

2. Repeat Step 1 for each different Subscriber or set of Subscribers.

3. Click Next to display the Database Settings page.

4. Continue with the applicable section for the installation page that is displayed next:

   • Installation Summary

Database Settings

This page is displayed only if you chose to install the Policy and Distribution Services database (the Server Management Database option) or the Server Inventory database (the Inventory Database option) on a server.

1. Click Next to accept the defaults, or for each database being installed, edit the applicable fields:

   HINT:  You can multiple-select databases to provide the same information for each of them.

   Database Path: The default for NetWare servers is sys: and for Windows servers is C:, which you can change.

   IMPORTANT:  We strongly recommend that for the Server Management database on NetWare servers, you change sys: to another NetWare volume, because database files can become very large.

   Object Name: The default name is Server Management Database_server_name, which you can change. However, if you select the same container for all database objects, each must have a unique object name.

   A database object is not created for the Server Inventory database.

   Container: The default container is where the server's NCP Server object resides. We recommend that you use the container that you created for database objects in eDirectory Container Requirements.

   For ease of management, we also recommend that you place all database objects in the same container.

2. Click Next and continue with the applicable section for the installation page that is displayed next:

This page is displayed only if you chose the Remote Management option for one or more Windows servers.

Use this dialog box to configure the password for the Remote Management Agent and install Mirror Driver on the managed server. You can either use the default password or specify a password.

1. To set the default password for the Remote Management Agent, select the Use Default Password check box. The default password is novell.

2. To use a password other than the default password, specify another password in the Password field.

   This password is used for establishing a Remote Management session with the managed servers.

   Use a password of ten or fewer ASCII (non-extended) characters. The password is case sensitive and cannot be blank. You can choose to proceed without specifying any password, but you will not be able to establish the Remote Control session with the server.

   WARNING:  If a previous installation of ZENworks 6.5 Remote Management Agent is detected on the machine and a password is set, the Password field is not displayed.

3. You can install Mirror Driver only if your target server is a Windows 2000/2003 server. Mirror Driver provides video adapter independence and coexistence with other Remote Control solutions. If this check box is selected, InstallShield overrides video driver checks and suppresses any Windows messages. If you do not want this driver, you can deselect it (optimization will be disabled).

   NOTE:  The Mirror Driver is not yet signed by Microsoft.

4. Continue with the applicable section for the installation page that is displayed next.

   • Policy and Distribution Services Database Logging
   • Installation Summary

Policy and Distribution Services Database Logging

This page is displayed only if you chose to install the Policy and Distribution Services database (the Server Management Database option) on a server.

This page eliminates the need to configure a ZENworks Database policy (in the Service Location Package), so that Server Management can begin logging to a database immediately after installing. At your convenience after installation, you can set up the other installed databases by configuring Service Location Packages for each of them so that they can be used by their Distributors.

1. To determine logging for a Server Management database that you configured in a previous installation page, select one of the following:

   Log to an Existing Server Management Database: Select an existing database file for logging by browsing for and selecting the database object, rather than log to one of the databases being installed.

   Log to a Server Management Database That Will Be Installed: One of the database objects that you configured in a previous installation page is displayed. However, you can select a different database object that is being installed by clicking the down-arrow.

   Do Not Log to a Server Management Database: You can elect to not log to a database at this time, even though you have configured a database in the previous installation page.

2. Click Next and continue with Installation Summary.

Installation Summary

1. To save the current installation configuration for future use, click the Save the Following Configuration check box, then specify a path and filename for the template file.

   HINT:  You can use this template file to repeat the ZENworks Server Management installation. It can save time in re-entering information and re-selecting servers. When you rerun the installation using a template, you can make changes to the fields and selected servers in the installation pages that are populated by the template.

2. On the Installation Summary page, click Finish to begin the installation process.

   You can click Back to make changes if you discover errors or omissions in the summary.

3. After the installation program has finished, review the installation log file to determine whether any components failed to install.

   The log file is located in the installation machine's temporary directory as determined in its Windows environment settings. For example:

   c:\temp\_resnnn.txt

   where nnn is increased incrementally each time a new installation log is created.

   If you receive error messages during installation, see Installation Error Messages.

4. If necessary, rerun the installation program.

   Select only the components that failed to install.

   IMPORTANT:  A reinstallation does not require the schema to be extended again.

5. After successfully installing the software, click Exit to close the main installation program.

   At this time, Server Management objects have been created, the software has been installed, and the Server Management agents should be starting.

6. To verify that the ZENworks processes are running, continue with Verifying That the Policy and Distributions Services Agents Are Loaded.

Verifying That the Policy and Distributions Services Agents Are Loaded

To verify that the Policy and Distributions Services agents are running on the target servers:

• Verifying on NetWare Servers
• Verifying on Windows Servers

Installing the Plug-ins to iManager 2.0.2

1. Make sure that Tomcat and iManager are loaded on the server where you will install the plug-ins.

   If these processes are not running on this server, the authentication performed when clicking Next in Step 5 will fail.

2. Do one of the following to display the main installation menu:

   • If you copied the contents of the ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Program CD to a hard drive, run winsetup.exe from that hard drive location.

     If you copied the Program CD structure to the installation machine's hard drive, the path between the root of the hard drive and the first CD directory can contain only directory names that conform to the 8.3-character DOS file naming convention. If any long directory names exist in the path, the installation program does not work.

   • On the installation machine, insert the ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Program CD.

     The startup page is displayed. If the startup page is not automatically displayed after inserting the CD, run winsetup.exe at the root of the CD.

   
   

3. Click Web-Based Management Components to display the License Agreement page.

   
   

4. Accept the License Agreement, then click Next to view the Login Information page.

   
   

5. Fill in the fields:

   IMPORTANT:  Tomcat and iManager must be loaded on the specified server in order for authentication of the following information to succeed.

   DNS/IP Address: Specify the address of the server where iManager is installed.

   Port: Specify the port number to use when communicating with iManager. It will most likely be 443 if SSL is used; if not, use 8080.

   Use SSL: By default, this check box is not selected. If you have iManager configured to use SSL, you should enable this check box.

   iManager Username: Specify the iManager (fully-distinguished) login name of the user with rights to iManager. This must be entered in the format indicated (for example, cn=admin.o=novell). Installation cannot continue if the username cannot authenticate.

   iManager Password: Specify the iManager password of the user running the installation program.

   Install the Policy and Distribution Services Plug-ins to Novell iManager: Select the check box to install the Remote Web Console and Tiered Electronic Distribution plug-ins to iManager so that you can manage these components from a Web browser.

   Install the ZENworks Certificate Authority: Select the check box to install the ZENworks certificate authority servlet for inter-server communications security. This provides additional security to ensure that data received from outside your secured network is from a trusted source, that it has not been tampered with en route, and that the data received can be trusted by other machines. This is accomplished through the use of signed security certificates and digital signatures.

6. Click Next to view the Summary page.

   
   

   The installation summary indicates that the selected Web components are installed to the Tomcat installation directory.

7. Click Finish.

8. When the installation has completed, click Yes to view the installation log file.

   If the log file contains errors, you can print it for reference. To look up error messages, see Installation Error Messages. Correct the error, then repeat the installation steps.

   The ZENworks Server Management role in iManager should still be set up, because the information for it is stored in eDirectory.

   To reinstall the Novell Certificate Signer, follow the instructions in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Administration Guide.

9. After successfully installing the iManager plug-ins, close the log file.

10. For iManager to recognize the new plug-ins, stop Tomcat, then restart Tomcat:

    • NetWare  

      Stop: tc4stop.ncf

      Start: tomcat4.ncf

    • Windows 

      In the Services window, start or stop the Tomcat service.

    • Linux 

      Restart: /etc/init.d/tomcat4 restart

      or:

      Stop: /etc/init.d/tomcat4 stop

      Start: /etc/init.d/tomcat4 start

    • OES Linux 

      Restart: /etc/init.d/novell-tomcat4 restart

      or:

      Stop: /etc/init.d/novell-tomcat4 stop

      Start: /etc/init.d/novell-tomcat4 start

11. Continue with the next applicable section:

    • To install on Linux or Solaris servers, continue with Installation on Linux and Solaris
    • If you will not install on Linux or Solaris servers, continue with Post-Installation Tasks
    • If you performed this task while upgrading, return to Upgrade the Novell iManager Plug-Ins.
