D.1 Preparing the Environment

Before you can use ZENworks 11 SP4 to upgrade OES11 servers to OES11 SP1, you must have the following:

  • A ZENworks 11 SP4 server installed and running in your network.

    For more information, see the ZENworks 11 SP4 Server Installation Guide

  • The ZENworks 11 SP4 Agent installed on each OES11 server that you plan to upgrade.

  • Each OES11 server registered with the ZENworks 11 SP4 server.

  • Each OES11 server updated with the latest OES11 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP1 patches: SLES11-SP1-Updates-bundle (with install action), SLES11-SP1-Pool-bundle, OES11-Updates-bundle (with install action) and OES11-Pool-bundle. It does not matter which update method you use.

    After the SLES11-SP1-Updates-bundle and the OES11-Updates-bundle install successfully, reboot the machine and then remove the OES11-Updates-bundle and OES11-Pool-bundle assignments.
