The following sections provide information on upgrading from ZENworks 7 Linux Management
with IR1 or ZENworks 7 Linux Management - Dell Edition to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management:

11.5.1 Upgrading the Servers

You can upgrade the ZENworks 7 Linux Management with IR1 or ZENworks 7 Linux Management
- Dell Edition server to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management by performing an in-place upgrade over
the previous version.
Before performing any type of upgrade, do the following:
Take a reliable backup of our object and data stores, and eDirectory. For more information, see
"ZENworks Object Store and Data Store
Management Administration
Ensure that eDirectory is listening on port 10389.
Take an image of the ZENworks servers.
Ensure that the ZENworks Linux Management server and the server on which the Oracle or the
PostgreSQL database is running are in time sync.
Remove Openldap2 from the ZENworks Server, if it is installed.
1. To verify whether Openldap2 has been installed, execute
the server console prompt. This displays the installed package version.
2. To remove Openldap2, execute
Performing an in-place upgrade lets you upgrade from the ZENworks 7 Linux Management with
IR1 or ZENworks 7 Linux Management - Dell Edition release to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management
by using the same ZENworks Primary Server. For example, suppose your ZENworks Primary
Server on your ZENworks 7 Linux Management with IR1 system is installed on a SLES 9 32-bit
device and you want to upgrade to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management. Using an in-place upgrade
results in the previously described ZENworks Linux Management system being upgraded to
ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management 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.
