Migrating Both ZENworks 7
A
Desktop Management and
ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management
To successfully migrate both ZENworks 7 Desktop Management and ZENworks 7.5 Asset
Management to ZENworks 10, follow the migration order presented below. Doing so ensures the
successful migration of each ZDM 7/ZAM 7.5 workstation into one ZENworks 10 managed device
and retains all ZDM 7 assignments and ZAM 7.5 data associated with the workstation.
IMPORTANT: The ZENworks 10 Adaptive Agent and ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Agent
can coexist on the same workstation if the only Adaptive Agent feature that is enabled is Asset
Management. Enabling features related to other ZENworks 10 products (Configuration
Management and Patch Management) on the same machine as ZENworks 7 Desktop Management is
not supported.

A.1 Migration Order
1 Upgrade ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management to the IR19 (or later) release.
You can use the
Novell Patch Finder (http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/)
download IR19.
2 In ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management, scan all ZDM 7/ZAM 7.5 workstations that you want to
become ZENworks 10 managed devices. The scan adds the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management
GUID (for each workstation) to the ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management inventory database.
Make sure that the scan cycle completes for all workstations you want to migrate. It might be
necessary to run multiple scans to cover all workstations.
For information about running an inventory scan, see the
Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/zam75/pdfdoc/am75admin/
asset_management_users_guide.pdf)
3 Run the ZENworks 10 Asset Management migration utility to migrate the inventory data. The
utility does the following:
Creates the ZDM 7/ZAM 7.5 workstations as migrated devices in the ZENworks 10
database. The workstation's ZDM 7 GUID is used when creating the ZENworks 10 device
object.
Migrates the ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management inventory data (for each workstation) to
the ZENworks 10 database.
For information about running the utility, see
page
9.
4 (Optional) Run the ZENworks 10 Asset Management migration utility to migrate the asset
management data.
