5.1 Preparing the ZENworks 11 Server to Manage ZENworks Configuration Management 10.3.x Managed Devices

ZENworks 11 server is compatible with ZENworks Configuration Management 10.3.x managed devices, however, a freshly installed ZENworks 11 server in a 10.3.x zone or a mixed zone (10.3.x and 11.0 managed devices) cannot provide component management functionality to 10.3.x managed devices communicating with it unless these steps are taken.

Copy the following files from a 10.3.x server or a system updated 11.0 server in the zone and replace them at the respective location of the newly installed ZENworks 11 server.

On Linux:

/opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/novell-*.msi

/opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/novell-*.msi.superceded

On Windows:

%ZENWORKS_HOME%\install\downloads\novell-*.msi

%ZENWORKS_HOME%\install\downloads\novell-*.msi.superceded

Location where the files must be copied on the newly installed ZENworks 11 server:

On Linux:

/opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/

/opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/

On Windows:

%ZENWORKS_HOME%\install\downloads\

%ZENWORKS_HOME%\install\downloads\

NOTE:On Linux, ensure all the copied files have zenworks:zenworks ownership. To set the appropriate ownership of these files use the following commands:

chown zenworks:zenworks /opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/novell-*.msi

chown zenworks:zenworks /opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/novell-*.msi.superceded
