2.8.1 Snapshotting the ZENworks Orchestrator Environment

To prepare the environment for an upgrade to a PlateSpin Orchestrate environment, snapshot the old
environment.
1 From the machine where the VM Warehouse is installed (c122), stop all VMs, then move them
out of the warehouse to another repository on a VM host in the grid.
2 Use the high availability client (Heartbeat2) to stop the Orchestrate Server. This prevents the
high availability cluster from re-starting the Orchestrate Server.
3 Use the following command to restart the Orchestrate Server on the host where it was last
running.
/etc/init.d/novell-zosserver start
4 Use the following command to stop and snapshot the Orchestrate Server.
/etc/init.d/novell-zosserver stop --snapshot

2.8.2 Enabling Rollback and Backing Up the Server Instance

When the old environment is snapshotted, you need to further prepare the Orchestrate Server for the
upgrade.
1 From the command line of both Orchestrate Servers (c114 and c115), use the rug command to
enable the rollback for the server.
rug set rollback true
2 From the command line of both Orchestrate Servers (c114 and c115) use the following
command to back up your server instance before you upgrade.
cp -rH /var/opt/novell/zenworks/zos/server ~/server.bkp
You can use the
rpm -qa | grep zenwo | sort
in the cluster:
