How do I recover the password for the ZENworks Server?
After successfully installing the ZENworks Server components, take a reliable backup of the following files:
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/hibernate.cfg.xml
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/tomcat/base/server.xml
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/serversecret
Replace /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/serversecret with the serversecret file that you have backed up in Step 1.
In /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/tomcat/base/server.xml, change the value of keystorePass and connectionPassword to the values configured in backed up serversecret file.
In /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/hibernate.cfg.xml, change the value of <property name="connection.password"> to the values configured in backed up serversecret file.
Executing the rug ref command on the PPC, IPF, and zSeries devices results in exceptions related to Inventory
Ignore the exceptions because Inventory is not supported for the PPC, IPF, and zSeries devices.
To avoid the exceptions, set the rug set hardware-inventory-enabled preference is set to False.

Upgrading from ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR2 or later to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management might fail on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 GM device
Upgrade the appropriate Python package to version 2.4.2-18.7 by using the ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR2 media or the SLES 10 SP1 media.
Install the nici package from the ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR2 media.
Run the zlm-upgrade script again by using the ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management media.
During ZENworks Linux Management installation, the ndsd runlevel scripts from the eDirectory packages display warning messages
For example:
insserv: warning: script 'post_ndsd_stop' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming default start runlevel(s) for script `post_ndsd_stop
Unable to install the ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management with IR3 agent on ia64 and s390x devices that have a default installation of SLES 11 SP1
Install the libglade2 package from the SLES 11 SP1 installation media.
Install the ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management with IR3 agent by running the zlm-install command.
The ZENworks Linux Management agent restores the old values of the deviceid and secret files on SLES 11 and SLED 11 managed devices even after deleting them
Unable to install SLES 9 patch bundles on a ZENworks Linux Management agent
On the server, remirror the SLES 9 patches to the same folder that contains the old SLES 9 patches by using the zlmmirror m -o -c conf.xml command.
On the managed device, clear the YOU cached content present under /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt directory by using rug command rug you-clean-cache.
Assign the bundle that you mirrored in Step 1 to the agent.
The SLES 9 patch bundles are installed on the agent.
