ZENworks Server Management uses ConsoleOne for administration of ZENworks objects in eDirectory. After installation, any workstation where you run ConsoleOne to manage ZENworks Server Management must meet the following minimum requirements:
Windows 2000 Professional SP4 or Windows XP Professional SP1a
Windows servers (2000/2003) can also be used as a management workstation if it has Novell Client 4.9 installed.
IMPORTANT:ZENworks Server Management does not support using a server’s console to run an instance of ConsoleOne installed on that NetWare server. To use the server’s installation of ConsoleOne, you must map a drive from a workstation to that server and run ConsoleOne from the workstation.
(Optional) Access to iManager 2.5 or later installed on a NetWare, Windows, Linux, or Solaris1 server
1 For ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1 (SP1), the Server Management snap-ins are not supported on Solaris servers.
In addition to ConsoleOne, you can use iManager to manage the Tiered Electronic Distribution objects used by Policy and Distribution Services. For plug-in installation instructions, see Section 6.1.2, Web-Based Management for Policy and Distribution Services.
WARNING:Earlier versions of iManager cannot be used with ZENworks 7 Server Management with SP1.
If you plan to upgrade incrementally, you need to maintain the older version of iManager that you are using to manage ZENworks for Servers 3.x in order to continue to manage those servers. Because you cannot have two different versions of iManager installed to the same machine, select a different machine for installing iManager 2.x.
To install iManager on a Windows machine: Insert the Novell ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1 Companion 1 CD and on the main installation menu, click > , which automatically executes the installation file from that CD.
IMPORTANT:For a Windows Server 2003 machine, iManager 2.5 or later requires eDirectory 8.7.3; however, eDirectory does not need to be installed on this Windows machine, it only needs to be available somewhere on the network for iManager to access.
To install iManager on other platforms:
For NetWare 6, iManager 2.6 installation is available on the Novell ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1 Companion 1 CD. Browse for \Novell iManager\iMan_26_NW60_Standalone.exe to run the installation program for installing to NetWare 6. This file is also available on the Novell download Web site.
For NetWare 6.5, iManager 2.6 installation is only available by upgrading NetWare 6.5 to Support Pack 1 or later.
For Linux or Solaris, you must download the iManager installation file from Novell Software Downloads.
