2.2 Preinstallation Tasks

Perform the following tasks:

2.2.1 Verifying the Minimum Requirements

  • Ensure that the device is connected to the network. So that ZENworks Reporting can communicate with ZENworks, LDAP, and SMTP servers.

  • ZENworks Reporting cannot be installed on ZENworks Configuration Management appliance.

  • If you are using ZENworks Reporting to report against ZENworks, then it requires minimum version of ZENworks 11.2.4.

  • Download the ZENworks resource file from Novell Download website for ZENworks Reporting 5. Copy the zrs-resource.zip file to the ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) Primary Server (which will be used in Configure Data Source) at the following location:

    • For Windows: %zenworks_home%\resources\zrs

    • For Linux: /opt/novell/zenworks/resources/zrs

    The zrs-resource.zip file contains the ZENworks domain configuration details so it is required during installation or reconfiguration.
