25.9 Deploying Red Hat Network Updates

When you use ZENworks Linux Management to mirror a Red Hat distribution from the Red Hat
Network, the mirroring process creates a single bundle containing all of the RPM packages. This
bundle is not usually assigned directly to a managed device because it contains the entire Red Hat
distribution and might contain RPM packages that conflict with each other.
Following are two scenarios for updating devices with RPM packages:
Section 25.9.1, "Providing All RPM Packages and Package Bundles through a Catalog
(Pulling)," on page 318
Section 25.9.2, "Delivering Specific RPM Packages (Pushing)," on page 319
25.9.1 Providing All RPM Packages and Package Bundles
through a Catalog (Pulling)
If you want to provide all RPM packages via a catalog, create a catalog and add the mirrored Red
Hat Network bundle to it, then assign the catalog to the managed devices. This allows users to have
access through the catalog to all of the RPM packages contained in the Red Hat Network bundle.
For more information on mirroring and catalogs, see
on page 294
From a managed device, there are two ways that you can force deployment and installation of the
updates included in the Red Hat Network bundles contained in a catalog:
Using the ZENworks Linux Management Update Manager: From the managed device,
click System > Software Update, then select the catalog and click Mark for installation > Run
now.
Using rug: On a managed device, start a console session and enter the
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES 10) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED
10) devices:
/usr/bin/rug up
For other managed devices:
