ConsoleOne Administration Tool

novdocx (en) 11 December 2007

ConsoleOne Administration Tool

GroupWise®is administered using ConsoleOne®, a Java*-based tool for managing your network

and its resources. When you create your GroupWise system, GroupWise snap-ins are added to your

ConsoleOne installation and GroupWise objects are created in Novell®eDirectoryTM. As you

manage your GroupWise system, you use ConsoleOne to create additional GroupWise objects,

modify GroupWise object properties, and so on.

IMPORTANT: Because the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne are required in order to work with

GroupWise objects, you cannot use other network management tools, such as Novell iManager, to

administer your GroupWise system. Also, you should not use older network management tools, such

as NetWare®Administrator, to administer your GroupWise system, unless your GroupWise system

includes legacy gateways that require such tools to administer the corresponding Gateway objects

and their properties.

Because GroupWise is a cross-platform product, you might have components of your GroupWise

system located on NetWare servers, Linux servers, and Windows* servers. You can run ConsoleOne

on Windows or Linux to manage GroupWise domains and post offices located on any of these

platforms.

Section 2.1, “ConsoleOne on Windows,” on page 39

Section 2.2, “ConsoleOne on Linux,” on page 40

Section 2.3, “ConsoleOne in a Multiple-Platform Environment,” on page 41

NOTE: For a GroupWise system on NetWare, you cannot run ConsoleOne to administer

GroupWise at the NetWare server console. The GroupWise Administrator snap-ins to ConsoleOne

do not run in that environment.

2.1 ConsoleOne on Windows

You can run ConsoleOne on Windows on any Windows machine that meets the requirements listed

in “GroupWise Administration Requirements” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

Section 2.1.1, “Installing ConsoleOne on Windows,” on page 39

Section 2.1.2, “Starting ConsoleOne on Windows,” on page 40

2.1.1 Installing ConsoleOne on Windows

When you create your initial GroupWise system using the GroupWise Installation program

(install.exe) on Windows, the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne are installed to the ConsoleOne

installation on that machine. If necessary, you can install ConsoleOne itself to the machine where

you are running the GroupWise Installation program. You are also given the opportunity to copy the

GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne into a GroupWise software distribution directory for later use.

After you have set up your GroupWise system, you can use the GroupWise Installation program to

install ConsoleOne and the GroupWise snap-ins from the GroupWise 7 Administrator for NetWare/

40 GroupWise 7 Administration Guide

novdocx (en) 11 December 2007

Windows CD or you can run admin\install.exe to install the snap-ins from the software distribution

directory to additional locations as needed.

2.1.2 Starting ConsoleOne on Windows

When you install ConsoleOne, a ConsoleOne icon is automatically created on your Windows

desktop for starting ConsoleOne.

Before you start ConsoleOne, turn off file caching in the Novell Client to protect database integrity.

1Right-click the red N in the notification area, then click Novell Client Properties.

2Click Advanced Settings, select File Caching, then select Off.

3Click OK to save your change.

2.2 ConsoleOne on Linux

You can run ConsoleOne on Linux on any Linux machine that meets the requirements listed in

“GroupWise Administration Requirements” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

Section 2.2.1, “Installing ConsoleOne on Linux,” on page 40

Section 2.2.2, “Starting ConsoleOne on Linux,” on page 40

2.2.1 Installing ConsoleOne on Linux

When you create your initial GroupWise system using the GroupWise Installation program

(install) on Linux, ConsoleOne should already be installed before you begin. If you are running

Novell Open Enterprise Server Linux, you can install ConsoleOne from YaST using Software >

Install and Remove Software. Linux ConsoleOne is also available on the Novell Downloads page

(http://download.novell.com/index.jsp).

After ConsoleOne is installed, the GroupWise Installation program on Linux installs the GroupWise

snap-ins to ConsoleOne to the ConsoleOne installation on that machine. You are also given the

opportunity to copy the GroupWise Administration RPM into a GroupWise software distribution

directory for later use.

After you have set up your GroupWise system, you can use the GroupWise Installation program to

the GroupWise snap-ins from the GroupWise 7 Administrator for Linux CD or you can install the

GroupWise Administration RPM from the admin subdirectory of the software distribution directory

to install the snap-ins to additional locations as needed.

2.2.2 Starting ConsoleOne on Linux

1In a terminal window, become root by entering sux and the root password.

The sux command enables the X Window System*, which is required for running

ConsoleOne.

2Enter the following command:

/usr/ConsoleOne/bin/ConsoleOne

2.3 ConsoleOne in a Multiple-Platform

Environment

If your GroupWise system includes multiple platforms, you can administer Linux domains from

Windows ConsoleOne or to administer NetWare or Windows domains from Linux ConsoleOne. The

cross-platform connections required for cross-platform GroupWise administration are described in

the following sections of “Migration” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide:

“Using Windows ConsoleOne to Access Domains and Post Offices on Linux”

“Using Linux ConsoleOne to Access Domains and Post Offices on NetWare or Windows”

GroupWise View

novdocx (en) 11 December 2007

GroupWise View

When administering GroupWise®in ConsoleOne®, you can use the standard Novell®eDirectoryTM

View or you can use the GroupWise View. The following sections discuss the GroupWise View and

how to use it:

Section 3.1, “eDirectory View vs. GroupWise View,” on page 43

Section 3.2, “GroupWise Object Icons,” on page 44

Section 3.3, “Customizing the GroupWise View,” on page 46

Section 3.4, “Searching in the GroupWise View,” on page 48

Section 3.5, “Performing Administrative Tasks from the GroupWise View,” on page 48

NOTE: The ConsoleOne illustrations used in the guide show ConsoleOne on Windows.

ConsoleOne on Linux appears different but provides substantially the same functionality.

3.1 eDirectory View vs. GroupWise View

The eDirectory View displays the GroupWise objects in their contexts in the eDirectory tree, as

shown in the following example.

Figure 3-1 eDirectory View

The GroupWise View filters out all non-GroupWise objects and shows how the GroupWise objects

relate to each other in the GroupWise system, as shown in the following example.

44 GroupWise 7 Administration Guide

novdocx (en) 11 December 2007

Figure 3-2 GroupWise View

In the left pane, all Domain objects are displayed under the GroupWise system, and all Post Office

objects are subordinate to the domains where they reside. You can select the GroupWise system, a

domain, or a post office in the left pane and then use the drop-down list of GroupWise objects on the

toolbar to display associated objects (Users, Resources, Message Transfer Agents, and so on) in the

right pane. In the above example, the GroupWise System is selected in the left pane and the

GroupWise Object list is set to Users, so the right pane is displaying all users in the entire

GroupWise system.

3.2 GroupWise Object Icons

The following table lists all the GroupWise objects that are displayed in the eDirectory View or

GroupWise View in ConsoleOne.

Table 3-1 Object Icons

Icon GroupWise Object Additional Information

GroupWise System Represents the GroupWise system you are currently connected

to. The GroupWise system’s name is displayed in the lower left

corner of the ConsoleOne window.

Primary Domain Represents the system’s primary domain. To ensure

consistency, all replication of GroupWise information to the

GroupWise domain and post office databases takes place

through the primary domain. For additional information, see

Part II, “Domains,” on page 109.

Secondary Domain Represents any additional domains, other than the primary,

created in the GroupWise system. For additional information,

see Part II, “Domains,” on page 109.

Current Domain Represents the domain to which ConsoleOne is currently

connected. For information about changing the current domain,

see Section 9.1, “Connecting to a Domain,” on page 127.
