2. Run the
./zlm-upgrade
Management with IR1.
Performing an in-place upgrade lets you upgrade from a previous ZENworks Linux Management
release to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management with IR1 by using the same ZENworks Primary
Server. For example, suppose your Primary Server on your ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management
system is installed on a SLES 9 32-bit device and you want to upgrade to ZENworks 7.3 Linux
Management with IR1. Using an in-place upgrade results in the previously described ZENworks
Linux Management system being upgraded to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management with IR1 on that
same SLES 9 32-bit device.
The upgrade process upgrades the ZENworks Server and lets you create upgrade bundles for each
supported platform. The individual upgrade bundles are then pushed to assigned devices to install
the new ZENworks Agent on each device.
An in-place upgrade is best suited for smaller ZENworks Linux Management systems consisting of
fewer than 100 devices managed by a single ZENworks Primary Server. An in-place upgrade allows
for an upgrade without scheduling down-time for the system because the server and devices are
upgrading relatively quickly.
You can upgrade the server from ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management to ZENworks 7.3 Linux
Management with IR1 in one of the following ways:
"Upgrading Servers by Performing an In-Place Upgrade" on page 101
"Upgrading Servers by Using the Hot Patch 2 Channel" on page 103
Upgrading Servers by Performing an In-Place Upgrade
Before performing an in-place upgrade, verify if the ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management server was
upgraded from ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management. If you have upgraded your ZENworks 7.3 Linux
Management server from ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management, upgrading to ZENworks 7.3 Linux
Management with IR1 fails because the default path of the eDirectory (8.8) configuration file,
, is changed from
nds.conf
server from ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management.
Do the following to avoid failure while upgrading to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management with IR1 if
the ZENworks Linux Management server was originally upgraded from ZENworks 7.2 Linux
Management:
1 Run the following content as a bash script:
/etc/init.d/ndsd stop
mv /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/nds.conf /etc
sed -i "s~/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf~/etc~g" /etc/opt/novell/
eDirectory/conf/.edir/instances.0
/etc/init.d/ndsd start
