You use the Novell ZENworks
tasks in your ZENworks Management Zone. The following sections provide information about the
ZENworks Control Center:
Section 3.1, "Where the ZENworks Control Center Is Installed," on page 41
Section 3.2, "Accessing the ZENworks Control Center," on page 41
Section 3.3, "Accessing the ZENworks Control Center through Novell iManager," on page 42

ZENworks Linux Management also includes the zlman command line utility to help you manage
your ZENworks system. The zlman utility lets you perform the same tasks you can perform in the
ZENworks Control Center, with the exception of imaging and preboot tasks. For more information,
see Section 4.1, "zlman," on page
3.1 Where the ZENworks Control Center Is
Installed
The ZENworks Control Center is installed on all ZENworks Servers in the Management Zone.
You can perform all management tasks on the primary server and most management tasks on the
secondary servers. The one management exception on secondary servers is the manipulation
(adding, deleting, modifying) of packages in a bundle. This task is not supported because the
primary server is the source server for packages, meaning that packages are replicated from the
primary server to secondary servers on a regularly scheduled basis. Manipulating a package on a
secondary server rather than on the primary server would result in the modified package being
replaced (or removed) the next time the secondary server's packages were updated from the primary
server. For more information about replication of packages, see
the ZENworks Management Zone," on page
