Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.2 IR2 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 09-25-2008 Administration Manual page 379

A workstation is a hardware type that does not require a BIOS string definition. Therefore, if
you select Servers or Laptops in the Rule Construction dialog, but you have not entered BIOS
identification strings for them here, they are treated as workstations by the rule.
These hardware type definitions are applicable only to rules; they do not otherwise apply to the
ZENworks Management Zone.
5 Click Add to configure a rule.
The information configured in the Rule Construction dialog box comprises one rule. You can
add multiple rules. The rules are used to determined whether there is a device that should have
any preboot work done. If so, it only does the effective preboot work assigned to it.
6 In the Rule Construction dialog box, provide a name for the work rule in the Rule name field.
This is the name that is displayed in the rules listing on the Preboot Services page in the
Preboot Work Assignment section. Make it descriptive enough that you can later remember its
purpose.
7 In the Bundle to apply field, browse for or specify the bundle where you want to apply this rule.
Each rule can be applied to only one bundle. However, you can apply multiple rules to a
bundle.
When a device boots and searches the Preboot Work Assignment section for work, if the device
meets a rule's criteria, the rule's applicable bundle is applied to the device.
Because the rules, not the bundles, are listed in the Preboot Work Assignment section, you can
apply multiple rules to a given bundle. In that case, such a bundle has multiple chances to be
selected for preboot work.
When multiple rules are listed, the first rule to have criteria to match a device causes that rule's
assigned bundle to be applied to the device.
If no rules match a device, then the effective bundle is not applied to the device.
8 To determine which boot parameters to use, select one of the following for the PXE Kernel
Boot Parameters field:
Use Kernel Boot Parameters from Zone's Settings: Uses the ZENworks Management
Zone's settings as configured in the Preboot Menu Options section.
