Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.3 IR2 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 07-20-2009 Installation Manual page 111

If you want to upgrade the ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management server to ZENworks 7.3 Linux
Management with IR2 by performing an in-place upgrade, you must additionally perform the
following steps on the server if it was previously upgraded from ZENworks 7.2 Linux
Management:
1. Run the following 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
2. Run the
./zlm-upgrade
Management with IR2.
Performing an in-place upgrade lets you upgrade from a previous ZENworks Linux Management
release to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management with IR2 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 IR2. Using an in-place upgrade results in the previously described ZENworks
Linux Management system being upgraded to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management with IR2 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 IR2 in the following way:
