You can use the server software package to upgrade only the following agents of Management and Monitoring Services. Following are the agents you can upgrade:
The following sections provide detailed instructions for installing the software packages on Management and Monitoring Services agents and Installation Log Files:
Using the TED component of ZENworks for Servers 6.5, you can automatically distribute and install the software packages to all servers that are running the Subscriber and Policy Package software.
IMPORTANT: You cannot combine software packages into the same Distribution. You must create a separate Distribution object for each software package. This is because each software package unloads the JVM on NetWare, which prevents concurrent processing of multiple software packages.
To automatically install the Management and Monitoring Services Agent .cpk file:
Make sure that your server meet the general ZENworks 6.5 Server Management requirements and Policy and Distribution Services is installed on your servers.
Copy the .cpk files at ZENworks Server Management - Software Pkgs \ MMS. Note where they are located, you will need the information when you create the associated Distribution.
Set the Subscriber's Extract schedule.
Create a Distribution for this software package and set the Distribution's Build schedule.
Associate the Distribution with a Channel so that it is sent based on the channel schedule. You might need to create the Channel and set the Channel's Send schedule.
Associate the Subscribers that you want to receive this software package with the Channel.
For the zfs65_mms_mgmtagnt.cpk file, create and initialize the following package processor variables in the Subscriber objects' properties:
Variable = OLDNMAPATH. For Example, sys:\zfs_agnt
Function = Defines the path of the older version of the agent is installed.
Variable = TARGETIP. For Example, 127.0.0.1
Function = Defines the IP address where you want to send the traps
Variable = MMSAGENTPATH. For example, c:\zenworks
Function = Defines the path to install the agents.
Variable = REPLACEHOSTMIB. For example, 0
Function = Defines if Microsoft* hostmib implementation is to be replaced by Novell hostmib implementation (1=Yes, 0=No)
Variable = TARGETIP. For example, 127.0.0.1
Function = Defines the IP address where you want to send the traps.
For the zfs65_mms_lanzagnt.cpk file, create and initialize the following package processor variables in the Subscriber objects' properties:
Variable = MMSAGENTPATH. For Example, sys:\zfs_agnt
Function = Defines the location where the Traffic Analysis agent is installed.
Variable = TARGETIP. For Example, 127.0.0.1
Function = Defines the IP address where you want to send the traps
Variable = MMSAGENTPATH. For example, c:\zenworks
Function = Defines the path to install the agents.
Variable = GTRENDPATH. For example, c:\winnt
Function = The subdirectory under the Windows directory (c:\winnt) where the Gtrend files are saved.
Variable = TARGETIP. For example, 127.0.0.1
Function = Defines the IP address where you want to send the traps.
For the zfs65_mms_trendagnt.cpk file, create and initialize the following package processor variables in the Subscriber objects' properties:
Variable = MMSAGENTPATH. For Example, sys:\zfs_agnt
Function = Defines the location where the Advanced Trending agent is installed.
Variable = TARGETIP. For Example, 127.0.0.1
Function = Defines the IP address where you want to send the traps
Variable = MMSAGENTPATH. For example, c:\zenworks
Function = Defines the path to install the agents.
Variable = GTRENDPATH. For example, c:\winnt
Function = The subdirectory under the Windows directory (c:\winnt) where the Gtrend files are saved.
Variable = TARGETIP. For example, 127.0.0.1
Function = Defines the IP address where you want to send the traps.
Send the Distribution.
The Distribution is automatically created when the Distribution's Build schedule starts. The Distribution is automatically be sent when the Channel's Send schedule starts. It will be extracted according to the Subscriber server's Extract schedule.
Review the log file contained in the Subscriber Servers to verify the success or failure of the installation.
Several components might fail to install, and the Software Package installation still appears as successful, so you should review the success or failure of each component of the software package to ensure that the components needed on a specific server were installed successfully.
You can use the Standalone Package Processor to manually install a software package to a server that is not running the Subscriber and the Policy/Package Agent.
The following software packages can be manually installed in any order:
The following package-specific .bat and .ncf files are available from these three .zip files to launch the Standalone Package Processor:
zfs65_mms_mgmtagnt.bat, which is used to install the Server Management Agent on Windows servers
zfs65_mms_mgmtagnt.ncf, which is used to install the Server Management Agent on NetWare servers
zfs65_mms_lanzagnt.bat, which is used to install the Traffic Analysis Agent on Windows servers
zfs65_mms_lanzagnt.ncf, which is used to install the Traffic Analysis Agent on NetWare servers
zfs65_mms_trendagnt.bat, which is used to install the Advanced Trending Agent on NetWare servers
zfs65_mms_trendagnt.ncf, which is used to install the Advanced Trending on Windows servers
The following instructions should be repeated for each NetWare or Windows server where you will install the software package:
Make sure your server meet the general ZENworks 6.5 Server Management requirements for the component to be updated.
Unzip the zfs65_mgmtmon_standalonepacpro.zip file to one of the following appropriate location:
The Standalone Package Processor files will be unzipped into a TEMP directory at the root of the server's file system.
Copy the .cpk file to be manually installed to the temporary directory where the associated .bat or .ncf file exists. For example:
IMPORTANT: You cannot install on a Linux server.
If JRE 1.3.1 is not installed on the target Windows server, download the JRE and install it.
In the .bat files corresponding to zfs65_mms_mgmtagnt.cpk, zfs65_mms_lanzagnt.cpk, or the zfs65_mms_trendagnt.cpk, change the JRE path to JRE_installation_path\JRE\BIN on each of the target Windows server where JRE 1.3.1 is installed.
Install the agents.
To install the zfs65_mms_mgmtagnt.cpk:
sys:\temp\zfs65\netware\zfs65_mms_mgmtagnt.ncf
c:\temp\zfs65\win\zfs65_mms_mgmtagnt.bat
To install the zfs65_mms_lanzagnt.cpk:
sys:\temp\zfs65\netware\zfs65_mms_lanzagnt.ncf
c:\temp\zfs65\win\zfs65_mms_lanzagnt.bat
To install the zfs65_mms_trendagnt.cpk:
sys:\temp\zfs65\netware\zfs65_mms_trendagnt.ncf
c:\temp\zfs65\win\zfs65_mms_trendagnt.bat
Determine which components of the software package were installed successfully by reviewing the log file created during installation.
