You can also register a device by using the Software Installer or Updater. For more information, see
Section 6.3, "Using the Software Updater, Installer, and Remover from Users' Managed Devices,"
on page 54.
11.3 Automatically Registering the Services at
the Initial Startup of zmd
zmd can automatically register the services configured in the initial-configuration file.
The file is located in /etc/zmd/ on SLES 10 and SLED 10 managed devices, and in /etc/opt/
novell/zenworks/zmd/ on other managed devices.
The initial-configuration file contains the URL for the supported services that zmd
registers at initial startup. zmd uses the information in the in the initial-configuration file
to mount all the services the first time it starts. These services are not loaded during the subsequent
startups because zmd records the already mounted services in @localstatedir@/lib/zmd/
services. If you want zmd to mount the services listed in initial-configuration every
time it starts, you must delete the services file before starting zmd.
To have zmd automatically register devices, you must manually create the initial-
configuration file with the following contents:
[URL of the service]
type = service_type
key = service_name
In the file, you can also specify the registration_code for services that need a key for
registration.
If you want to use special characters such as $ ! & ; ' " in the key value, you must enclose the value
within single quotes.
A sample initial-configuration file is as follows:
[https://10.0.0.0]
type=zenworks
[https://update.novell.com/data]
type=rce
[http://www2.ati.com/suse]
type=YUM
key=yum_service
