B.3 Preparing the Clustering Environment

To prepare cluster nodes for Desktop Management:

  1. Upgrade each node to ConsoleOne® 1.3.6 or later.

    ConsoleOne 1.3.6 (or later), included on the Novell ZENworks 7 Companion 1 CD (or on the Novell ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1 Companion 1 CD), must be installed on each cluster node for Desktop Management to work properly. For more information, see Section 7.2, Installing ConsoleOne.

  2. Unload Java on each node.

    To avoid an error message displayed by the Desktop Management installation program if Java is running on the server (that is, the cluster node), you should unload Java before you begin the Desktop Management installation there. To do this, you need to have System console access to each servicing node. At the system console for each node, enter the following command:

    unload java

  3. Install the Novell Client™ on the workstation. For more information about installing the appropriate client, see Understanding the Novell Client in the Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Administration Guide.
