5.2.2 Package Replication
To ensure that all ZENworks Servers have the same RPM packages and Dell Update Package
bundles to distribute, the ZENworks Primary Server can replicate all packages to any ZENworks
Secondary Servers in the Management Zone. To enable replication, you need to establish a
replication schedule (see
on page
291).
During replication of packages to a Secondary Server, only new packages and updates to existing
packages are sent.
5.2.3 Package Administration
Because of the way that packages are replicated from the Primary Server to Secondary Servers, you
must run the ZENworks Control Center or zlman utility from the Primary Server to add a package to
a bundle. Doing so causes the package to be added to the Primary Server's package repository and
then be replicated to all Secondary Servers.
If you add a package to a Secondary Server, the package does not exist on the Primary Server and is
therefore removed the next time the Primary Server replicates its packages to the Secondary Server.
The same limitation applies to all package management tasks, such as modifying and deleting a
package from a bundle. These tasks must be performed on the Primary Server.
5.3 Uninstalling a ZENworks Server
ZENworks includes a uninstall program (zlm-uninstall) to remove the ZENworks services, Object
Store, and other files from a server. If for some reason the uninstall program cannot remove the
ZENworks server software, you can manually uninstall the software. The following sections provide
instructions for uninstalling the software with the uninstall program or manually.
If your ZENworks Linux Management system has Secondary Servers, you must uninstall the
Secondary Servers before uninstalling the primary ZENworks server. Otherwise, during
uninstallation of the Secondary Servers, you receive an error message concerning eDirectory that is
not applicable because eDirectory was already removed during uninstallation of the Primary
ZENworks server.
The following sections contain more information:

Section 5.3.2, "Uninstalling a Secondary ZENworks Server By Using zlm-config," on page 51
