Objective:
To verify content from YUM servers can be successfully mirrored down to the
ZENworks Linux Management server.
Steps:
To mirror from a YUM server:
1. Choose a YUM server containing content you would like to mirror. You can
get a list of official YUM servers for SUSE Linux 10.1 from the
Web site.
2. Create a new mirroring configuration file. For more information, see
Software in the
For example, you could create a file named yumToZlm.xml as follows:
<ZLMMirrorConf>
<Session>
<RemoteServer>
<Base>http://suse.cs.utah.edu/suse/update/10.1/</Base>
<Proxy></Proxy>
<Type>YUM</Type>
<SystemID></SystemID>
<User></User>
<Password></Password>
<Platform>sled-10</Platform>
</RemoteServer>
<LocalServer>
<Base></Base>
<Type>ZLM</Type>
<User>Administrator</User>
<Password>novell</Password>
</LocalServer>
<Catalog>
<Name></Name>
<LocalName></LocalName>
<Folder>my_folder</Folder>
<Target></Target>
<ExcludeTarget></ExcludeTarget>
<Bundle></Bundle>
<ExcludeBundle></ExcludeBundle>
<Package>samba</Package>
<ExcludePackage></ExcludePackage>
</Catalog>
</Session>
</ZLMMirrorConf>
In this example, the package named "samba" will be downloaded from the
YUM server: suse.cs.utah.edu. Note: you can specify values for <Package>
and <Target>, but <Name> and <Bundle> should be left blank because these
concepts don't exist for a YUM server.
