This section provides information about installing the Management and Monitoring Services software. The following topics explain the installation procedure in detail:
You must extend the schema only once per eDirectory tree before installing the ZfS software. Depending on how synchronization and backup are set up in eDirectory on your network, schema extension can take up to 12 hours or more.
To extend the schema:
Log in with Admin or equivalent rights to the root of the tree containing the target management server.
Insert the ZENworks for Servers 3 program CD.
If the startup screen is not automatically launched after inserting the CD, you can launch it by running WINSETUP.EXE at the root of the CD.
Click Schema Extensions > select the tree that contains the target management server.
Click OK.
Click Yes.
Click OK at the "schema extension succeeded" message.
ZfS automatically extends the schema for Server Policy, Tiered Electronic Distribution, and Management and Monitoring Services.
To install the server software:
If you haven't already done so, log in with Admin or equivalent rights to the target management server and the container containing the target management server.
If Sybase is running on the server on which the database will be installed, quit the Sybase engine now. To quit Sybase, go to the server console, and enter q on the Sybase screen.
Insert the ZENworks for Servers 3 program CD.
The startup screen appears. If the startup screen is not automatically launched after inserting the CD, you can launch it by running WINSETUP.EXE at the root of the CD.
IMPORTANT: If you copied the ZENworks for Servers 3 program CD structure to the installation workstation'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.
Click New Installation > Management and Monitoring Services.
If you restart the target Management server after you mapped a drive at the workstation, the ZfS installation might no longer recognize the mapped drive. Detach the tree from NetWare Connection, disconnect the mapped drive, and remap the volume.
HINT: We recommend that you do not install on the SYS: volume of your target Management server.
Click Management Services and Agents.
Click Next at the Welcome screen.
Click Accept in the License Agreement screen after reading through the licensing agreement.
Select the desired ZfS components listed in the following table.
IMPORTANT: You need Admin or equivalent rights to target servers. Create a shared folder on all Windows NT servers where you will be installing the ZfS agents.
Click Next.
If you selected to install Management Site Services, complete one of the following:
IMPORTANT: If you have installed the license for Policy and Distribution, you will still need to install the license for Management and Monitoring System because the licensing modules are different.
Select a NetWare server that will be a management site server > specify the location (volume and path) where the software will be installed > click Next.
If you are installing Management and Monitoring Services with a previous install and if the database engine is found, you must specify the database file path.
or
If the database engine is not found, you must specify the database engine path.
If you are installing Management and Monitoring Services for the first time select the option to provide the copy of the empty database files.
or
If you have a previous installation, select the option to provide a copy of the old database and the option for a copy of the empty database files.
You must have a backup of the database if you want to migrate the data from ZfS 2 to ZfS 3.
If you do not need to reconfigure your discovery parameters beyond the default settings (for example, using SNMP community names other than PUBLIC), start the autodiscovery process and the back-end services:
Enter a name for the service locator object and specify the context.
Other management objects will need to be created in this context. If multiple management sites will be used, specify a context that will be readily accessible. The default name and context are provided based on the Management server you selected in Step 11.
Click Next.
If you selected to install only Server Management or Traffic Analysis in Step 8, you need to select the site server or enter the IP address, which will be used for updating the destination of the traps.
Select the NetWare and NT/2000 servers, the agents to install on each server, and the destination folder for the software > click Next.
Review the summary list of selections you made in the preceding steps. To change a setting, click Back. Otherwise, click Finish to start the installation.
If you chose not to start all the back-end services and the autodiscovery process during install, you need to manually start the back-end services and the autodiscovery process.
For Managed servers on NetWare, the ZfS agents are automatically started. For Managed servers on Windows NT/2000, you must restart Windows NT/2000 after you install the agents.
You can install multiple management consoles for accessing data on a management server. You must have Admin rights to the workstation to install the management console software on a Windows NT workstation.
To install the ZfS console software:
If you have not already done so, install ConsoleOne from the ZENworks for Servers 3 Companion CD to your workstation.
IMPORTANT: ZfS requires that you use the ConsoleOne version shipped on the ZENworks for Servers 3 Companion CD.
If you want to install ZfS on a remote server you need to log in as an admin or a user with admin equivalent rights.
Insert the ZENworks for Servers 3 program CD.
If the startup screen is not automatically launched after inserting the CD, you can launch it by running WINSETUP.EXE at the root of the CD.
Click New Installation > Management and Monitoring Services > Site Management ConsoleOne Snap-ins.
Enter a destination folder for the snap-ins or click Next to accept the default destination folder.
The snap-in files are installed.
Select to view the Readme file > click Finish.
You can use the license installation option to upgrade from an evaluation license or to install a new license over an expired license. If you do not have a valid license installed, ZfS will not function after the expiry date.
To upgrade or install a new license:
If you have not already done so, log in as an Admin user or equivalent to the eDirectory tree containing the target Management server.
Insert the ZENworks for Servers 3 program CD.
If the startup screen is not automatically launched after inserting the CD, you can launch it by running WINSETUP.EXE at the root of the CD.
Click New Installation > Management and Monitoring Services.
Click Site Management Server License.
Accept the default path to the license or browse to a different license location.
Select the server where you want the license to be installed.
Click Next.
You can migrate data from ZfS 2 to ZfS 3 after completing the Management and Monitoring Services installation. You can choose to migrate the alarms and the alarm dispositions data from ZfS 2 to ZfS 3 database using the database migration tool. You can also use this tool to transfer data from the ZfS 3 database to another ZfS 3 database that is running. You can either migrate the alarm data, the alarm disposition data, or both. Before migrating, ensure that only the Management and Monitoring Services database is up and running and none of the services are running. You need to have a backup of the database before you proceed with migration.
To migrate the data from ZfS 2 to ZfS 3:
Type MMSDbMigrate at the server. You can use the command with the following options to specify the data you want to migrate:
MMSDbMigrate ALARMDISP will migrate only the alarm dispositions from the older database.
MMSDbMigrate ALARM will migrate only the alarms from the older database.
MMSDbMigrate ALLARMDISP or MMSDbMigrate will migrate both the alarm dispositions and the alarm from the older database.
You can begin using the management console to manage and monitor your network after you have started the management server.
To start the management console:
Log in to the eDirectory tree containing the Management server.
Click ZfS Console in the ZfS Program Group on the Windows Start menu.
Novell ConsoleOne is started.
After starting the discovery process, click ZfS Sites to begin managing your network.
HINT: If you did not start the autodiscovery process and the back-end services during installation, you will not be able to expand the site and use the Atlas view until you complete the discovery process.
Click to expand the site > click Atlas > Atlas View.
