34.1 Understanding the Upgrade Components

When you upgrade using a Server Software Package, you use a .cpk upgrade file, which is a compiled Server Software Package (CPK). You have two options:

For detailed information on Server Software Packages, see Server Software Packages in the Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management Administration Guide.

The following CPKs are provided for upgrading to ZENworks 7 Desktop Management with SP1:

Table 34-1 ZENworks Desktop Management Upgrade CPKs

CPK File

Description

c1-zen7-snap.cpk

The ZENworks 7 Desktop Management with SP1 snap-ins for updating ConsoleOne®.

This is useful for automatically installing the snap-ins to the different instances of ConsoleOne running on many servers.

language-agent.cpk

The Language Agent MSI files (one for each supported language) for all supported platforms:

  • ChineseS-agent.cpk
  • ChineseT-agent.cpk
  • Deutsch-agent.cpk
  • English-agent.cpk
  • Espanol-agent.cpk
  • Francais-agent.cpk
  • NihongoS-agent.cpk
  • Portugue-agent.cpk

These CPKs only copy the MSI files so that they are accessible when needed. The CPKs do not run the Windows Installer.

If you group these individual agent CPKs into one Distribution, you can automate a mass file copy of the agent MSI files for each language to designated servers. This is useful when rolling out the language agents of your choice to your workstations.

This is a helper CPK for zdn7bksp1.cpk and zdnc7bksp1.cpk.
