Novell Documentation: ZENworks 6.5 - Upgrading from ZENworks for Servers 2

Upgrading from ZENworks for Servers 2

If ZENworks for Servers 2 is installed in the same network as ZENworks 6.5 Server Management, there is no interoperability between those two ZENworks versions. In other words, you cannot do an incremental upgrade from version 2 to version 6.5 and have interoperability between version 6.5 servers and version 2 servers. For more information, see Interoperability with ZENworks for Servers 2.

You can upgrade from ZENworks for Servers 2 to ZENworks 6.5 Server Management, but only indirectly, as outlined in the following sections:

Policy and Distribution Services, Remote Management, and Management and Monitoring Services

There are two methods for upgrading these ZENworks for Servers 2 components to ZENworks 6.5 Server Management:

Uninstall Version 2: Then install ZENworks 6.5 Server Management. You cannot upgrade directly to ZENworks 6.5 Server Management from ZENworks for Servers 2.

For instructions on uninstalling version 2, see ZENworks for Servers 2 documentation Web site. Under Policy and Distribution Services, click Uninstalling ZENworks for Servers Policy and Distribution Services, and under Management and Monitoring Services, click Uninstalling the Management Site Services and Agents.
Upgrade First to Version 3.0.2: Then upgrade from version 3.0.2 to ZENworks 6.5 Server Management using the instructions in this section.

For instructions to upgrade to version 3.0.2, go to the ZENworks for Servers 3.0.2 documentation Web site. Under Installation, click Upgrading ZENworks for Servers 2.

If you have Server Software Packages created in ZENworks for Servers 1.0 or 2 that you want to preserve in ZENworks 6.5, they must be converted to version 6.5 after you have upgraded to ZENworks 6.5 Server Management. For more information, see "Converting Older Server Software Packages to ZENworks 6.5 Server Management" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Administration Guide.

Continue with Upgrading from ZENworks for Servers 3.x.

Server Inventory

If you do not plan to simply uninstall ZENworks for Servers 2 or ZENworks for Servers 2 SP1, before you upgrade Server Inventory to ZENworks 6.5, perform the following tasks:

If you want to manage the existing ZENworks for Servers 2 or ZENworks for Servers 2 SP1 servers, make sure that you have made a reliable backup of the existing ZENworks for Servers ConsoleOne.
Make sure that you have made a reliable backup of the ZENworks for Servers 2 or ZENworks for Servers 2 SP1 Inventory database.
Understand the new Server Inventory features in ZENworks 6.5 Server Management. For more information, see Server Inventory.
Make sure that the recommended ZENworks 6.5 Server Inventory system requirements are met. For more information, see Server Requirements.
Review the instructions in Preparation.

The ZENworks 6.5 Server Inventory installation program automatically upgrades an existing ZENworks for Servers 2 or ZENworks for Servers 2 SP1 Inventory server and the ConsoleOne snap-ins to ZENworks 6.5. For more information on installing ZENworks 6.5 Server Inventory, see Policy-Enabled Server Management Installation.

IMPORTANT: The existing ZENworks for Servers 2 or ZENworks for Servers 2 SP1 Inventory database cannot be migrated to the ZENworks 6.5 Inventory database.

When the ZENworks 6.5 Inventory Agent is installed on the inventoried server, the existing ZENworks for Servers 2 or ZENworks for Servers 2 SP1 Inventory Agent is uninstalled. If the existing ZENworks for Servers Inventory Agent is not uninstalled, you need to manually uninstall it.

Unload INVSCAN.NLM.
From SYS:\SYSTEM, delete the following files:

INVSCAN.NLM

```

To manually uninstall the ZENworks for Servers 2 or ZENworks for Servers 2 SP1 Inventory Agent on a Windows NT/2000 server:

Stop the ZENworks for Servers 2 or ZENworks for Servers 2 SP1 Inventory Agent service.

In the Windows NT Control Panel, double-click Services, select ZFS Inventory, then click Stop.

In the Windows 2000 Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools > Services, select ZFS Inventory, then click Stop.
Note the value of the ImagePath key in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ZfS Inventory registry entry. The ImagePath key contains the Inventory Agent installation directory.
