2.6 ZENworks Linux Management

The following information applies to ZENworks 11 coexistence with ZENworks 7.x Linux Management (ZLM 7):

  • Server Coexistence: There are two issues related to server coexistence:

    • Issue 1: The ZENworks 11 Server (Linux version) cannot coexist with the ZLM 7 Server. Do not install the ZENworks 11 Server on any Linux server that already has a ZLM 7 Server installed.

    • Issue 2: The ZENworks 11 Satellite (Linux version) cannot coexist with the ZLM 7 Server. Do not install the ZENworks 11 Satellite on any Linux server that already has a ZLM 7 Server installed.

  • Server/Agent Coexistence: The ZENworks 11 Server and Satellite (Linux versions) cannot coexist with the ZLM 7 Agent, meaning that the ZENworks 11 Server and Satellite cannot be a managed device in your ZLM 7 zone. Do not install the ZLM 7 Agent on the same Linux server as a ZENworks 11 Server or Satellite.

    If your device has the ZENworks Linux Management Server installed, you must manually uninstall the ZENworks Linux Management Server before installing the ZENworks Configuration Management Server. However, if your device has the ZENworks Linux Management Agent installed, you need not manually uninstall the ZENworks Linux Management Agent because it is automatically uninstalled from the device while installing the ZENworks Configuration Management Server.

  • Agent Coexistence: If your device has the ZENworks Linux Management Agent installed, you need not manually uninstall the ZENworks Linux Management Agent because it is automatically uninstalled from the device while installing the ZENworks Configuration Management Agent. You cannot uninstall ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management Agent on ZENworks 11 Inventoried-Only devices because ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management Agent removes the files which are used by ZENworks 11 Inventory-Only Agent.
