B.1 Preparing the Environment

Before you use ZENworks 2017 to upgrade the OES 2015 servers to OES 2015 SP1, you must have the following:

  • A ZENworks 2017 server installed and running in your network. For more information, see the ZENworks Server Installation Guide.

  • The ZENworks 2017 agent installed on each OES 2015 server that you plan to upgrade.

  • Each OES 2015 server registered with the ZENworks 2017 server.

  • Each OES 2015 server updated with the latest OES 2015 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, (SLES) 11 SP3 patches: SLES11-SP3-Updates-bundle (with install action), SLES11-SP3-Pool-bundle, OES2015-Updates-bundle (with install action) and OES2015-Pool-bundle.

After the SLES11-SP3-Updates-bundle and the OES2015-Updates-bundle install successfully, reboot the machine and then remove the OES2015-Updates-bundle and OES2015-Pool-bundle assignments.
