Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management - ZLM7.2
Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux based)
The best (and only supported) way to update an Open Enterprise Linux Server is by OES patch bundles and not via the oes-bundle. Note: The OES catalog from update.novell.com should be mirrored.
You can update the patches on the OES managed devices in two ways:
Pushing the Updates from the ZENworks Linux Management Server to the OES Managed Device
- Log into ZENworks Control Center.
- Click Bundles.
- Create a Bundle Group.
- Associate all the patch bundles in the OES catalog except the oes-bundle to the Bundle Group.
- Assign the Bundle Group to the OES managed device to be installed on a specific schedule.
Manually Installing Updates from the OES Client
- Log into the ZENworks Control Center.
- Click Bundles.
- Go to the oes-catalog.
- Remove the oes-bundle association from the OES catalog.
- Remove patch-11032 from the OES catalog.
- Associate the OES catalog to the OES managed device.
- On the managed device, execute the 'rug refresh' command.
- To install all the patches, execute the 'rug bin patch-*' command.
For detailed information on how to perform each step, see the ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management documentation.
