Running ZENworks Configuration Management on a Cluster

A: Sorry James, but Novell doesn't support ZCM being installed or run on a cluster / node. One reason is that ZCM has built-in fault tolerance through content replication and closest server rules. Also, in many cases multiple IP addresses are bound to the server, so during installation multiple IPs are bound to services and component configurations, which can cause issues.

For more info, see this TID.


Disclaimer: As with everything else at Cool Solutions, this content is definitely not supported by Novell (so don't even think of calling Support if you try something and it blows up).

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.

I suppose you could run it in a clustered XEN session, but have not tried that.

but you can use Microsoft server cluster!

The referenced tid points out that clustering is supported on a Microsoft server cluster.
Nice of Novell to support Microsoft before themselves!

I'll stick with Zen7 thanks ;-)
