4.3 Independent Installation of the Agent and Clients

You have two options for installing the Orchestrator Agent and the Orchestrator Clients after the initial installation:

4.3.1 Installing the Agent and Clients by Using the Product ISO

If you want to independently install the Orchestrator Agent or the Orchestrator Clients to a node in your grid, you can do so, but the procedures for doing so vary depending on the platform where you are installing them.

Using the ISO to Install the Agent or the Clients on SLES 10 Machines

Use the following procedure if you want to use the Add-on CD method to install just the Orchestrator Agent or the Orchestrator Clients to a SLES machine.

IMPORTANT:The Orchestrator Clients are not supported on SLES 9 SP3. The Orchestrator Agent is supported on SLES 9 SP3, SLES 10 SP1, and SLES 10 SP2.

  1. To verify that the device where you want to install the agent and client software fulfills the necessary requirements, review Section 3.0, Planning the Installation.

  2. Download the appropriate ZENworks Orchestrator ISO (32-bit or 64-bit) to an accessible network location.

  3. Install ZENworks Orchestrator Agent or ZENworks Orchestrator Clients software:

    1. Log in to the target SLES server as root, then open YaST2.

    2. In the YaST Control Center, click Software, then click Add-on Product to display the Add-on Product Media dialog box.

    3. In the Add-on Product Media dialog box, select the ISO media (Local Directory or DVD) to install.

      1. (Conditional) Select DVD, click Next, insert the DVD, then click Continue.

        or

      2. (Conditional) Select Local Directory, click Next, select the ISO Image check box, browse to the ISO in the file system, then click OK.

    4. Read and accept the license agreement, then click Next to display YaST2.

    5. In YaST2, click the Filter drop-down menu, then select Patterns to display the install patterns available on the ZENworks Orchestrator ISO.

    6. Select the ZENworks Orchestrator installation patterns that you want to install:

      • ZENworks Orchestrator Agent: Runs applications on all managed nodes under the management of the Orchestrator Server. An agent reports its status to the Orchestrator Server.

      • ZENworks Monitoring Agent: This pattern installs the Ganglia Agent on each monitored node, which collects performance metrics and sends the data to the ZENworks Monitoring Server.

      Refer to the information in Section A.0, ZENworks Orchestrator Components: Install Patterns for details on the installation data that you need to know.

    7. Click Accept to install the packages.

  4. Configure the ZENworks Orchestrator agents that you have installed. You can use one of two information gathering methods to perform the configuration:

    • The Orchestrator product configuration script. If you use this method, continue with Step 5.

    • The GUI Configuration Wizard. If you use this method, skip to Step 6.

  5. (Optional) Run the Orchestrator product configuration script.

    1. Make sure you are logged in as root to run the configuration script.

Using the ISO to Install the Orchestrator Agent or the Orchestrator Clients on Windows Machines

The ZENworks Orchestrator Agent is supported on Windows 2003, but not on Windows XP, Windows 2000, or earlier releases (Windows ME, Windows 95, etc.). The ZENworks Orchestrator Clients are supported on both platforms. Use the following steps to download the Orchestrator component you want to install:

  1. To verify that the device where you want to install the agent and client software fulfills the necessary requirements, review Section 3.0, Planning the Installation.

  2. Download the appropriate ZENworks Orchestrator Server ISO (32-bit or 64-bit) to an accessible network location.

  3. Create a DVD from the ISO or use a tool that will mount the ISO.

  4. Navigate to the directory path where the Windows packages (Windows 2003 or Windows XP) reside.

  5. Double-click the appropriate file (.exe) to launch an installation and configuration wizard. See Installing and Registering the ZENworks Orchestrator Agent and Installing the Orchestrator Console in Installing the Agent and Clients from the Administrator Information Page (Unsupported) for information about this wizard.

4.3.2 Installing the Agent and Clients from the Administrator Information Page (Unsupported)

After you install the server for ZENworks Orchestrator on the network, you can launch the ZENworks Orchestrator Administrator Information page. The page has links to various installer programs that you can use to install required Orchestrator software on the computing resources that you will be utilizing in the grid system.

IMPORTANT:Although installing ZENworks Orchestrator 1.3 components from the ZENworks Orchestrator Administrator Information page allows non-RPM installation of the Orchestrator client and agent components, you must understand that installing the agent component any of the installers listed on this page has not been fully tested, and is therefore not yet supported by Novell. This includes the RPM agent installer without JRE (novell-zenworks-zos-agent-1.3.0-33604.i586.rpm).

The following browsers support the ZENworks Portal and ZENworks Orchestrator Administrator’s Web page applications:

  • Internet Explorer, version 6.0 or higher

  • Netscape* Navigator*, version 6.0 or higher

  • Mozilla*, version 1.5 or higher

  • Mozilla Firefox*

Using a supported browser, enter the following URL to access the Administrator Information page for ZENworks Orchestrator from the server:

http://server_name_for_ZENworks_Orchestrator:8001/

This URL is the DNS name (or IP address) of the server for ZENworks Orchestrator. Be sure to use Port 8001 in the address to access and display the page, as shown in the following illustration:

The page includes links to information for ZENworks Orchestrator administrators, including product documentation, Release Notes, and the installers for the console and the agent for ZENworks Orchestrator.

This section includes the following information about installing the Orchestrator Agent and Orchestrator Clients from the Administrator Information page:

Installing and Registering the ZENworks Orchestrator Agent

ZENworks Orchestrator requires computing resources in order to run applications. The ZENworks Orchestrator Agent must be installed on each managed device to add that computing resource to the grid where the Orchestrator Server can manage it.

Use the following steps to install the agent on a computing resource:

  1. From the managed device desktop, launch a browser to access the Web page for ZENworks Orchestrator, as described in Section 4.3.2, Installing the Agent and Clients from the Administrator Information Page (Unsupported).

  2. Scroll to the Installation section of the page:

  3. In the agent section of the Orchestrator Web page, identify the installer link for the operating system (that is, Windows, Linux, Solaris*, Mac*, Generic UNIX*) of the device where you want to install the agent.

    For this release, only the Windows and Linux clients and agents are supported. For more information, see Section 3.0, Planning the Installation.

    The ZENworks Orchestrator Agent can be installed with or without Java runtime (JRE*.) The computing resource might already have Java runtime installed, but to ensure that you have a compatible version of Java runtime with the agent, we recommend that you select the installer for both the agent and Java runtime.

    Some operating systems for the managed device are not currently supported.

  4. Click the installer link to launch the installation wizard to install the agent on the computing resource.

  5. Follow the prompts in the wizard until the Identify ZOS Server page displays. Here, you need to ensure that you correctly enter IP_or_hostname_for_ZENworks_Orchestrator_ Server in the Server field.

    You might find it easier to click Discover so that the installer searches for and finds the server for ZENworks Orchestrator on the network.

  6. Accept the remaining defaults on the wizard pages to complete the installation of the agent.

  7. When the installation is complete, click Finish to exit the installer.

Repeat Step 1 through Step 7 for each computing resource you want to add to the grid.

Agents can be automatically installed on multiple computing resources or groups of computing resources using your favorite configuration management software.

Installing the Orchestrator Console

Before you can perform any ZENworks Orchestrator management functions, such as creating user accounts and managing activities of the server, you need to install the console for ZENworks Orchestrator. The console is a thick desktop client designed for administrative tasks including infrastructure management (for example, managing computing resources) and monitoring. You can install the console on the server itself or on another network computer.

  1. On the computer where the console is to be installed, launch the ZENworks Orchestrator Administrator Information page. For information about how to do this, see Section 4.3.2, Installing the Agent and Clients from the Administrator Information Page (Unsupported).

  2. Scroll to the Installation section of the page:

  3. In the clients section of the Web page, identify the installer link for the operating system running on the computing resource.

    The ZENworks Orchestrator Console can be installed with or without Java runtime (JRE.) The computing resource might already have Java runtime installed, but to ensure that you have a compatible version of Java runtime with the agent, we recommend that you select the installer for both the console and Java runtime.

    If the operating system for the managed device does not have a link available, it is not currently supported. For more information, please contact the Novell Business Partner from whom you purchased ZENworks Orchestrator.

  4. Click the installer link to initiate the installation of the console for ZENworks Orchestrator on the computer. Follow the setup wizard for setting up the console.

  5. On the Select Components page of the setup wizard, select ZOS Management Console & Tools.

    Do not select the ZOS User Client & Toolkit check box. ZENworks provides an installed client and an HTML Web client to grid users for creating, submitting, and managing running jobs.

  6. Accept the remaining defaults in the setup wizard to complete the console installation.

  7. When the wizard completes the installation, click Finish.
