The following ZENworks versions or combinations of ZENworks versions might exist on a particular server where you want Inventory for both ZENworks 7 Server Management and ZENworks 7 Desktop Management to be running on the same server:
You can first upgrade or install either ZENworks 7 Server Management or ZENworks 7 Desktop Management, then later upgrade or install the other. Then Inventory is interoperable between ZENworks 7 Server Management and ZENworks 7 Desktop Management.
For more information about:
Installing ZENworks 7 Desktop Management, see the Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Installation Guide.
Upgrading to ZENworks 7 Desktop Management , see Upgrade
in the Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Installation Guide.
Installing ZENworks 7 Server Management, see Section 6.0, Policy-Enabled Server Management Installation.
Upgrading to ZENworks 7 Server Management, see Section IV, Upgrade.
In this scenario, there are five Leaf Servers namely, A, B, C, D, and E on which the following versions of ZENworks are installed:
Table 18-1 ZENworks Versions for Leaf Servers
The Leaf Servers roll up the inventory information to a Root Server having ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management and ZENworks 6.5 Server Management installed. This scenario is depicted in Figure 18-12:
Figure 18-12 Interoperability Between ZENworks 6.5 Desktop and Server Management and Older ZENworks Versions
To achieve interoperability among ZENworks 7 Server Management, ZENworks Desktop 7 Management, and the earlier versions of ZENworks installed on multiple Inventory servers, you must install ZENworks 7 Desktop Management and ZENworks 7 Server Management on the Root Server.
This is illustrated in Figure 18-13:
