Requirements
Some requirements are shared by both installation and management machines, and some are specific to a machine’s role for Novell® ZENworks® 7 Server Management:
Section 4.1, “General Workstation Requirements,” on page 41
Section 4.2, “Installation-Specific Machine Requirements,” on page 42
Section 4.3, “Management-Specific Workstation Requirements,” on page 42
Section 4.4, “Installing ConsoleOne 1.3.6e,” on page 43
After completing the workstation requirements, continue with Chapter 5, “Server Requirements,” on page 45.
4.1 General Workstation Requirements
The following requirements must be met by both installation and management workstations:
Pentium* III processor or later
Includes other Pentium-compatible processors.
At least 256 MB RAM with virtual memory (swap space) enabled (additional RAM improves ConsoleOne® performance on the management workstation)
Novell ClientTM 4.90 Support Pack 1a
To determine the current version on your workstation, right-click NetWare Services in the system tray, then click Novell Client Properties.
To install: Insert the Novell ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1 Companion 1 CD and on the main installation menu, click Companion Programs and Files > Novell Client, which uses a link on that CD to the Novell Software Downloads Web site where you can obtain the executable.
or
Download the latest Novell Client for your version of Windows from Novell Software Downloads (http://download.novell.com).

n) 16 April 2010
ConsoleOne 1.3.6 or later for creating ZENworks-specific containers in eDirectory before installation and for managing Server Management after installation
You can have the ConsoleOne snap-ins for ZENworks Server Management installed on multiple workstations during the installation process, so that you can manage ZENworks Server Management from each of those workstations. To do so, make sure you have installed ConsoleOne 1.3.6e from the Novell ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1 Companion 1 CD on each workstation where you want the snap-ins to be installed.
For instructions to install ConsoleOne, see Section 4.4, “Installing ConsoleOne 1.3.6e,” on page 43.
70 MB free disk space for a local workstation installation of ConsoleOne
4.2 Installation-Specific Machine Requirements
Installation of Server Management requires access to your target eDirectory tree from your installation machine (a workstation or a server). In addition, the following minimum requirements must be met:
Windows 2000 (Professional SP4 or Server SP4), Windows Server 2003 (Standard or Enterprise Editions), or Windows XP Professional SP1a
Windows display screen area set to at least 1024 x 768 to accommodate the Installation Wizard
Access to a DNS name server
For more information, see Appendix D, “Ensuring Successful DNS Name Resolution,” on page 335.
4.3 Management-Specific Workstation Requirements
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,” on page 96.
16 April 2010 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 Companion Programs and Files >
Novell iManager, 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 (http:/
/download.novell.com/).
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 (http://download.novell.com).
(Remote Management only) IP protocol stack
4.4 Installing ConsoleOne 1.3.6e
Because you administer ZENworks Server Management primarily through ConsoleOne, you must have ConsoleOne 1.3.6 or later installed on at least one workstation or server before you install ZENworks Server Management. To determine your current version in ConsoleOne, click Help, then click About ConsoleOne.
To install ConsoleOne:
1 Insert the Novell ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1 Companion 1 CD and on the main installation menu, click Companion Programs and Files > Novell ConsoleOne.
This runs the executable from the Companion 1 CD, displaying the WinZip Self-Extractor dialog box.
2 Click Setup.
After the files have been extracted, the installation program starts.
3 Click Next to begin the installation.
4 Review the License Agreement, then click Accept to continue.
5 Browse to and select the location where you want to install ConsoleOne, then click Next twice.
On a NetWare server, you might choose sys:\public\mgmt
On a Windows server or workstation, you might choose c:\novell
n) 16 April 2010 If you have an older version of ConsoleOne installed on the workstation that you use for a
previous version of ZENworks Server Management, you can specify a different path. For example, change the \1.2 directory to \1.3 or \1.3.6.
6 Select any languages in addition to English that you want to install, then click Next twice.
7 After reviewing the summary of products to be installed, click Finish.
Objects are analyzed and the installation is performed.
8 When the installation completes, click Close.
9 Repeat these steps for each machine where you want to have access to Server Management through ConsoleOne.
IMPORTANT: ZENworks Server Management does not support running ConsoleOne in a NetWare server’s graphical console from the instance of ConsoleOne installed on that NetWare server. To use a NetWare server’s installation of ConsoleOne, you must map a drive from a workstation to that server and run ConsoleOne from the workstation. However, this is slower than running ConsoleOne directly from a workstation.
