Most of the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management components are considered “cluster-safe,” which means that you can install the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management services in a Novell Cluster Services environment, but if the cluster volume goes down, there is an interruption in services while the cluster fails over.
When failover occurs, most of the Desktop Management services are restored, but Application Management and some group policies that rely on a single resource (that is, a server where the policy files are copied) might time out waiting for the resource to become available. The policies are not applied until the next login or scheduled event occurs and the file resource becomes available again.
Installing the ZENworks 7 Middle Tier Server in a Novell Cluster Services environment is not supported.
ZENworks 7 Desktop Management does not support clustering on Windows servers.
NOTE:ZENworks 7 Desktop Management with Support Pack 1 supports clustering on a Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) Linux server. For more information, see Section B.11, Installing ZENworks 7 Desktop Management with SP1 in an OES Linux Cluster Environment.
ZENworks 7 Desktop Management with Support Pack 1 does not support a mixed environment of Novell Cluster Services on NetWare with Novell Cluster Services on OES Linux.
