Performing An In-Place Upgrade On The Zenworks Primary Server - Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.3 IR2 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 07-20-2009 Installation Manual

installed on a SLES 9 32-bit device and you want to upgrade to ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management.
Using an in-place upgrade results in the previously described ZENworks Linux Management system
being upgraded to ZENworks 7.3 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.
