You need to deploy the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance to migrate the existing appliance and then configure the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance with the ZENworks 11 SP3 data and network settings, that was copied earlier to vastorage disk.
IMPORTANT:The new appliance (ZENworks 11SP4) should be hosted on the same network as the ZENworks 11SP3 appliance.
Deploy the appliance as instructed in Deploying the Appliance in the ZENworks Appliance 11 SP4 Deployment and Administration Reference and do not attach the new hard disk.
Do NOT power on the appliance at this time.
Take note of the ZENworks 11 SP3 Appliance RAM size and configure the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance with the same RAM size.
Attach the migration hard disk (/vastorage) as reference in Copying the ZENworks 11 SP3 Data (ZENworks 11 SP3 data) to the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance.
Power on the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance and wait till credential screen appears.
Specify the root and zenadmin passwords for the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance.
The Appliance Configuration utility automatically populates the identity and network details for the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance from the ZENworks 11 SP3 data and continues booting the appliance. When the process is complete, on the Appliance console the URL is displayed.
If the ZENworks 11 SP3 Appliance was using an external content repository, then attach the corresponding disk to ZENworks 11SP4 Appliance.
To configure the external disk, perform the following:
After restarting the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance, log into the appliance as root and stop the ZENworks services.
If the appliance hosts the Embedded Sybase, then Sybase services (sybase-asa and sybase-audit-asa) should be running.
/etc/init.d/sybase-asa status
/etc/init.d/sybase-audit-asa status
Mount the disk partition on the ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance at original structure.
For example, if ZENworks 11 SP3 had sdb1 mounted to /var/opt/novell/zenworks, then this disk would appear in ZENworks 11 SP4 as sdc, which needs to be mounted to /var/opt/novell/zenworks directory.
After the hard disk is mounted, ensure that /etc/fstab is updated with mounted partition correctly. You may use YaST partitioner to mount the disk partition to correct ZENworks directory.
For information about mounting a content repository, see Creating a Permanent Mount in the ZENworks 11 SP4 Primary Server and Satellite Reference.
Ensure that new mounted directory has required permissions. To modify the permissions, run the permissions.sh script.
Take note of the URLs displayed in the console, then continue with the next task, Migrating ZENworks 11 SP3 Data to ZENworks 11 SP4 Appliance.
