Behavior Shown By The Orchestrate Vm Client When Detecting Incompatibility; Development Client Behavior When Detecting Incompatibility - Novell PLATESPIN ORCHESTRATE 2.0.2 - UPGARDE GUIDE 10-09-2009 Upgrade Manual

1.2.1 Behavior Shown by the Orchestrate VM Client When
Detecting Incompatibility
The information in this section lists the known behaviors exhibited when the PlateSpin Orchestrate
VM Client (formerly referred to as Orchestrator VM Manager) is upgraded to version 2.0 when
other Orchestrator components are not upgraded.
Even when the Orchestrator Monitoring Server is newer or older than the installed VM Management
Interface, it is not necessarily incompatible with the interface. The interface does not detect or
display the version of the Monitoring Server. The Monitoring Server uses Internet browser
capabilities to display its information in HTML format, so the monitored information is still
available.
1.2.2 Development Client Behavior When Detecting
Incompatibility
The PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client detects incompatibility only in the Orchestrate
Agent. The information in the following sections details that behavior.
"If the Orchestrate Server Is Not Compatible with the Development Client" on page 11
"When an Agent Version Does Not Match the Server Version" on page 12
If the Orchestrate Server Is Not Compatible with the Development Client
When the Orchestrate Development Client detects an older version of the ZENworks Orchestrator
Server, the console displays an "old" icon overlay over the grid object.

Figure 1-1
The Orchestrate Development Client displays a "new" icon overlay on the Grid Object if the Grid
Object is newer than the Development Client. (The same behavior happens if you are using the
ZENworks Orchestrator Console.) The version of the server is included in the tool tip display of the
grid object in the Explorer tree view. The logged-in server shows the version at the bottom of the
view.
