Performing An In-Place Upgrade On The Zenworks Primary Server - Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.2 IR2 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 07-20-2009 Installation Manual

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.
1. "Performing an In-Place Upgrade on the ZENworks Primary Server" on page 95
2. "Performing an In-Place Upgrade on a ZENworks Secondary Server" on page 96
IMPORTANT: The ZENworks server cannot be upgraded from ZENworks 7 Linux Management
with IR1 to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management with IR1 if the upgrade is interrupted. If the upgrade
process is interrupted, contact

1 CD by using the
mount device mountpoint
For example,
mount /dev/cdrom /zlm72
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
