Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.2 IR2 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 07-20-2009 Installation Manual page 56

6 (Conditional) If you are installing the ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR1/IR1a/IR2
Agent, the installation checks whether the device is already registered to a ZENworks service,
and prompts you to retain the existing registered ZENworks service.
If you enter
7 Provide the appropriate responses to the following prompts to register the device:
Registration Server Address: Enter the IP address or DNS name of the ZENworks
Server that you want to manage this device. This can be the Primary Server or a
Secondary Server, and should be the server that has best network access to the device.
If you leave this field blank, no service is added. You can register the device at a later time
by using the rug command line interface.
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES 10) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10
(SLED 10) devices:
/usr/bin/rug sa https://ZEN_Server_address
For other managed devices:
/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/rug sa https://ZEN_Server_address
(Optional) Registration Server Key: You can leave this field blank. ZENworks has two
default registration rules, one for servers and one for workstations. If you leave this field
blank, ZENworks uses one of the two default registration rules to register the device. The
rules cause the device to be added to either the
folder with the device's hostname used for its device name.
Before installing the ZENworks Agent on a large number of devices and registering them,
you should create registration keys and rules that enable you to place devices in specific
folders and groups. Using folders and groups reduces the effort required to manage a large
number of devices. Registration keys and rules, as well as folders and groups, are
discussed in
7.27.3 Linux Management Administration
NOTE: Do not register the ZENworks Agent to a ZENworks Linux Management server
that has bundles assigned to this agent. If you do so, the ZENworks Agent ceases to work
after the bundles are installed. You can, however, choose to register the ZENworks Agent
to the server after the ZENworks Agent installation is complete.
8 After the installation is complete, confirm that the ZENworks Agent is running by using the
following command:
/etc/init.d/novell-zmd status
9 Confirm that the device has been added to the ZENworks Object Store by accessing the
ZENworks Control Center:
https://ZENworks_Primary_Server_Address
Replace ZENworks_Primary_Server_Address with the IP address or DNS name of the Primary
Server.
After you are in the Control Center, you can click the Devices tab, then click the Servers folder
or Workstation folder to view the device.
