Preparing for the Upgrade

Before you can perform the upgrade from ZfD 4 to ZfD 4 SP1/4.0.1, you need to prepare the workstations and servers where you will install the new software. This section contains information and references to the information you will need to prepare for the upgrade.


Meeting the Upgrade Requirements for Server Software

Before you upgrade to ZfD 4 SP1/4.0.1, make sure that the servers where you plan to install the new version of the ZfD Middle Tier Server software and the ZfD Server software meet the requirements for ZfD 4 SP1/4.0.1. For more information, see Preparing for Installation in the ZENworks for Desktops 4 Installation Guide.


Stopping ConsoleOne and Java Processes Before Installation

Before you install the ZfD Server or ZfD Middle Tier Server components on a NetWare server, you need to exit ConsoleOne® sessions and stop the Java components running on that server. If they are running, these processes will hold open a number of files that will not be updated because they are in use.

To stop Java components on the NetWare server, enter the following commands at the server console:

zfdstop

java -killall

java -exit
