30.2 Replicating Content to New Content Servers

By default, when a new ZENworks server is added to the zone, all bundle and policy content is replicated to that ZENworks server. You can, however, choose not to replicate a specific bundle or content policy. If a new content Satellite Server is added to the zone, no content is replicated on the satellite server, unless specified.

For example, assume that you have a bundle for Microsoft Office. You’ve included it on specific content servers and don’t want it replicated to additional servers. To keep this from happening, you modify the Microsoft Office bundle’s replication settings to exclude replication to new content servers.

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, go to the details page for the object (bundle, policy, or folder) whose replication setting you want to modify, then click the Settings tab.

  2. To configure the settings on a bundle, click Bundle Management, then click Primary Server Replication or Satellite Server Replication.

    or

    To configure the settings on a policy, click Policy Management, then click Primary Server Replication or Satellite Server Replication.

    or

    To configure the settings on a bundle or policy folder, click Content, then click Primary Server Replication or Satellite Server Replication.

  3. In the Primary Server Replication Status section, click the appropriate buttons to include or exclude new Primary Servers from hosting the content.

  4. In the Satellite Server Replication Status section, click the appropriate buttons to include or exclude new Satellite Servers from hosting the content.

  5. (Optional) In the Search option, type the string to be used to filter the Server (Primary or Satellite) then press Enter.

  6. (Optional) If you are configuring settings on a bundle folder or policy folder, click Force Inheritance in the Folder Task list in the left navigation pane to ensure that all children (all subfolders as well as individual bundles and policies) inherit the settings. Be aware that settings configured on children are lost and that this action cannot be undone.

  7. Click OK to save the changes.
