Installing Zenworks Linux Management On A Sles 9 Server With A Minimal Installation; Installing Zenworks Linux Management On A Sles 10 Server With A Customize Installation - Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.3 IR2 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 07-20-2009 Installation Manual

To automate installation of the ZENworks Agent:
1 Create the response file. To do so:
1a At the Linux device, mount the media you are using for the install: the Novell ZENworks 7
Linux Management installation media, the ZENworks Agent media, or the ISO image.
For mount instructions, see
Registering the Device," on page
1b Run the ZENworks Agent installation program on a device by using the following
command:
./zlm-install -a -r path_to_response_file.txt
Replace response_file.txt with a filename you want. For example:
./zlm-install -a -r /zlm73-agent/zenworks-agent.txt
The steps in this procedure perform a standard installation of ZENworks Linux
Management. Depending on your situation, additional options can be used with the
command. For more information, see
install
page 121.
1c Follow the prompts to install the ZENworks Agent on the device.
Your answers to the prompts are stored in the response file.
2 Perform the scripted installation on a device by using the following command:
./
zlm-install -a -s path_to_response_file.txt
3 If desired, place the above command in a script (for example, a login script).
Make sure the installation program and files are available to the device. For example, copy the
installation files to a network location, mount the media as a network drive, or copy the files to
the device's local drive.
A.3 Installing ZENworks Linux Management on a

support, ensure that you do the following:
Before installing ZENworks Linux Management on the server, install the glib2, XFree86-libs,
and compat packages to the device.
Use the option when you install ZENworks Linux Management. Running
