The server must resolve device hostnames, or some features in
ZENworks do not work properly.
Server names must support the DNS requirements, or the
ZENworks login fails. Acceptable characters are the letters a-z
(uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and the hyphen (-).
The server must have a static IP address or a permanently
leased DHCP address.
The installation hangs if it is trying to use a NIC that does not
have an IP address bound to it.
ZENworks Appliance is available with the embedded Sybase
SQL Anywhere database. However, if you choose to use a
database other than the embedded Sybase SQL Anywhere
database, the other database must meet the database
requirements.
