Performing an in-place upgrade lets you upgrade from a previous ZENworks Linux Management
release to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management using the same ZENworks Primary Server. For
example, suppose your primary server on your ZENworks 7 Linux Management IR1 system is
installed on a SLES 9 32-bit device and you want to upgrade to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management.
Using an in-place upgrade results in the previously described ZENworks Linux Management system
being upgraded to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management 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 servers and
ZENworks Agent software components.

2 At the Linux server, mount the Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management Server CD by using
the
mount device mountpoint
For example,
If you are using an ISO image rather than a physical CD, copy the ISO to a temporary folder on
the Linux server, then mount the image using the following command:
mount -o loop /tempfolderpath/isoimagename.iso mountpoint
Replace tempfolderpath with the path to the temporary folder and replace mountpoint with the
path to the file system location where you want to mount the image. The path specified by
mountpoint must already exist.
For example:
mount -o loop /zlm72/ZEN72_LinuxMgmt.iso /zlm72/install
