Linux Management - Dell Edition To Zenworks 7.2 Linux Management With Ir2 - Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.2 IR2 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 07-20-2009 Installation Manual

13.1.1 Upgrading the Servers from ZENworks 7 Linux
Management with IR1 or ZENworks 7 Linux Management - Dell
Edition to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR2
You can upgrade the ZENworks 7 Linux Management with IR1 or ZENworks 7 Linux Management
- Dell Edition server to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR2 by performing an in-place
upgrade over the previous version.
Before performing any type of upgrade, do the following:
Take a reliable backup of our object and data stores, and eDirectory. For more information, see
"ZENworks Object Store and Data Store
Management Administration
Ensure that eDirectory is listening on port 10389.
Take an image of the ZENworks servers.
Ensure that the ZENworks Linux Management server and the server on which the Oracle or the
PostgreSQL database is running are in time sync.
Remove OpenLDAP2 from the ZENworks Server, if it is installed.
1. To verify whether OpenLDAP 2 has been installed, execute
at the server console prompt. This displays the installed package version.
2. To remove Open LDAP 2, execute
Performing an in-place upgrade lets you upgrade from the ZENworks 7 Linux Management with
IR1 or ZENworks 7 Linux Management - Dell Edition release to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management
with IR2 using the same ZENworks Primary Server. For example, suppose your ZENworks Primary
Server on your ZENworks 7 Linux Management with IR1 system is installed on a SLES 9 32-bit
device and you want to upgrade to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR2. Using an in-place
upgrade results in the previously described ZENworks Linux Management system being upgraded
to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR2 on that same SLES 9 32-bit device.
The upgrade process upgrades the ZENworks Server and lets you create upgrade bundles for each
supported platform. The individual upgrade bundles are then pushed to assigned devices to install
the new ZENworks Agent on each device.
An in-place upgrade is best suited for smaller ZENworks Linux Management systems consisting of
fewer than 100 devices managed by a single ZENworks Primary Server. An in-place upgrade allows
for an upgrade without scheduling down-time for the system because the server and devices are
upgrading relatively quickly.
Perform the following procedures in the order listed to upgrade the ZENworks server.
1. "Performing an In-Place Upgrade on the ZENworks Primary Server" on page 108
2. "Performing an In-Place Upgrade on a ZENworks Secondary Server" on page 108
IMPORTANT: The ZENworks server cannot be upgraded from ZENworks 7 Linux Management
with IR1 to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR2 if the upgrade is interrupted. If the upgrade
process is interrupted, contact
