Using img from boot cd creates image file with owner as root, not zenworks

This document (7010395) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 Imaging
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

Situation

When an image file is created using a bootcd and img, the file stored on the image server is owned by root. Because the image file is owned by root, using Image Explorer will not allow a non-root user to save changes to the image file.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2.2 - see TID 7010757 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2.2 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at http://www.novell.com/support/search.do?usemicrosite=true&searchString=7010757

Workarounds:
  • Open the image file using image explorer and do a "save as" and create an additional image file.
  • log into the ZCM server as root and use the chmod command to change the group rights to read write.
