24.1 Running an RPM Installation or Upgrade

The RPMs you need for installing ZENworks 7 Desktop Management are located on the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Services on Linux CD in the /CD_mount_location/Disk1/InstData/VM/RPMS directory.

To execute an RPM installation,

  1. Copy the all the appropriate RPMs from the CD to a temporary directory, for example /usr/temp/RPMS.

  2. Run the following command at the bash prompt:

    #!/bin/bash rpm -Uvh --nosignature location_of_RPMs/*.rpm

  3. Run the following command to restart:

    #!/bin/sh /opt/novell/zenworks/bin/ZDMstart restart cold

  4. Run the following command to update the uninstall directory:

    #!/bin/bashsed -i.bak s@-7\.0\.0-.@@ /opt/novell/zenworks/Uninstall\ ZENworks\ Desktop\ Management/.com.zerog.registry.xml

If you want to upgrade to SP1, use the steps above and change the command in Step 2 to the following:

#!/bin/bash rpm -Uvh --freshen --nosignature location_of_RPMs/*.rpm
