Operating System Dell PowerEdge Servers: If you plan to manage Dell PowerEdge servers using
ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management, the Dell PowerEdge Software Support Matrix
lets you identify operating systems and Dell OpenManage software that your
PowerEdge system supports. You can view the Support Matrix on the
site (http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smsom/5.1.1/en/peosom/
index.htm).
The following versions of the OpenIPMI driver are required to support the Dell
Update Package functionality:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES 9), SP3 on the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit
(x86_64) architectures (Intel EMT64 and AMD Opteron processors).
When you install SLES 9, we strongly recommend that you perform a Default
installation. If you install SLES 9 using a Minimal installation, which does not
include X Window System support, see

page 119.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES 10) on the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit

support all ZENworks Linux Management features. The PPC, IPF, and zSeries
processors support the Package Management features only.
When you install SLES 10, we strongly recommend that you perform a Default
installation. If you install SLES 10 using a Customize installation, some
packages are required for ZENworks 7 Linux Management to install
successfully. For more information, see
