ZENworks 7 Linux Management Installation

Contents

Obtaining ZLM7 media

Obtain the ZLM 7 ISO from http://download.novell.com

Make sure you check the MD5SUM of the ISO - you certainly don't want to work with a broken image:

md5sum ZEN7_LinuxMgmt.iso
23d1396851ecea48c4f1da29d06de818  ZEN7_LinuxMgmt.iso

Install from CD or ISO

You can install from a burnt CD or from the ISO itself.

The installation is performed from the server.

An example of mounting the ISO:

mkdir /media/iso
mount -o loop ZEN7_LinuxMgmt.iso /media/iso

Installation flow

Change to the CD/ISO root.

If you installed your server with the X Server then install with

./zlm-install

If you are installing on an X-less server (i.e. no GUI) then:

./zlm-install -x

The installation log is written to /var/opt/novell/log/zenworks/zlm-install.log

Thank being LSB compliant for the paths.

The installation detects and validates the server OS; asks you to approve the EULA then installs the RPMs for the product.

The installation phase should take no more than 5 minutes on a reasonable server.

Post Installation configuration

The next step is to configure your ZLM 7 server.
