How to load the base SLE 10 packages into ZLM 7

1) Download ZLMLoad from https://www.novell.com/communities/files/zlmload-2.1-11.1.noarch.rpm
and install it with the following command:

# rpm -ivh zlmload-2.1-11.1.noarch.rpm

2) Physical media will need to be mounted. Alternatively, an ISO file can be used.

3) Run the command to load the base operating system packages into ZLM.

# /opt/novell/zenworks/bin/zlmload -P <your ZLM administrator password> <location>

Where <location> is the directory where the installation media is mounted, or the path to the ISO being loaded.

The name of the bundle it creates will vary depending on the operating system version being loaded, but will end in "-Distro".
For example, the bundle SLES10-SP2-Distro will be created when SLES 10 SP2 is loaded.

The base operating system packages will need to be loaded for each architecture (i586, x86_64, etc) and operating system
(Novell SUSE Enterprise Server, Novell SUSE Enterprise Desktop, etc) being supported in the environment.

For update purposes, the newly created distro bundle (for instance: SLES-10-i586-Distro) will need to be added to the Update
catalog, so that this catalog will have two bundles: the update bundle and the distro bundle.

DO NOT assign the distro bundle directly to a device, that would force the device to install every single rpm from the distro!
