Novell® ZENworks® Linux Management makes it eas to embrace and extend
Linux* within our existing environment. It is the onl solution that uses polic -driven
automation to deplo , manage, and maintain Linux resources. These automated and
intelligent policies allow ou to provide centralized control across the lifec cle of
Linux s stems for desktop lockdown, imaging, remote management, inventor
management, and software management. The result is a comprehensive Linux
management solution that eliminates IT effort b dramaticall reducing the required
overhead needed to manage Linux s stems.
U R O S E O F T H E S C E N A R I O S
The purpose of these scenarios is to familiarize ou with the some of new features
included in ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management (Breakout).
With the release of ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management, Novell engineering
has compiled scenarios that represent a number of the new features and functions
of the product. These scenarios are used b our test team and are now being shared
outside of the internal teams to better facilitate testing b users. This
information also helps to provide an overview of man of the features and also can
educate users on the new capabilities of the product.

Objective:
Verif the functionalit of ZENworks Linux Management after upgrading the
ZENworks Server from a previous release.
Steps:
1. Install one of the previous releases with its latest patch:
•ZENworks 7 Linux Management with IR1
•ZENworks 7 Linux Management – Dell Edition
2. Create several of the different kinds of objects (bundles, policies, reports, and
so forth). For more information, see the ZENworks Linux Management
Administration Guide.
3. Create several versions of various t pes of bundles. For more information,
see Deplo ing a Different Version of a Bundle in the ZENworks 7.2 Linux
Management Administration Guide.
4. Make assignments between them and one or more devices. Be sure to use
several different kinds of schedules. For more information, see the ZENworks
Linux Management Administration Guide.
5. Perform an upgrade. For more information, see Upgrade in the ZENworks 7.2
Linux Management Installation Guide.
Expected Results
Objects still exist and their details can be viewed, the assignments still exist between
them, and the schedules are still configured.
New assignments can onl be given schedules supported b ZENworks 7.2 Linux
Management, but existing associations with outdated schedules can still be viewed.
For more information, see Scheduling Changes for Bundles in ZENworks 7.2 Linux
Management in the ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management Installation Guide.
When creating a new RPM bundle, the list of Target Platforms in the RPM File
Upload dialog box is complete (the list is the same as from a new ZENworks 7.2
Linux Management installation).
All versions of all the bundles are deplo able.

Objective:
Verif the functionalit of ZENworks Linux Management on a managed device (other
than SLES 10 or SLED 10) after upgrading from a previous release.
re-Requisite:
To test this scenario, ou must have one of the following setup:
•A server and a managed device (other than SLES 10 or SLED 10) with
ZENworks 7 Linux Management with IR1 installed.
•A server and a managed device (other than SLES 10 or SLED 10) with
ZENworks 7 Linux Management – Dell Edition installed.
Steps:
1. Upgrade the server to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management. You can use the
same setup as the Scenario 1.
2. On the managed device, perform the following steps:
a. Lock an bundle b executing the rug bla bundle_name
command.
b. Lock an package b executing the rug la package_name
command.
3. Upgrade the managed device. For more information, see Upgrade in the
ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management Installation Guide.
.
Expected Results
The managed device is upgraded to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management. All the
service associations are retained. All the bundle locks and package locks are
migrated to the new version and retained.
After the managed device is successfull upgraded, create a new bundle or a polic
on the server and associate it to this managed device. Verif that it will work.

Objective:
Verif the functionalit of ZENworks Linux Management on a SLES 10 or SLED 10
managed device after upgrading it.
re-Requisite:
To test this scenario, ou must have the following setup:
•A server with ZENworks 7 Linux Management with IR1 installed
•A SLES 10 or SLED 10 managed device
Steps:
1. Upgrade the server to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management. You can use the
same setup as Scenario 1.
2. On the managed device, lock an bundle b executing the rug bla
bundle_name command.
3. Upgrade the managed device. For more information, see Upgrade in the
ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management Installation Guide.
.
Expected Results
The managed device is upgraded to ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management. All the
service associations are retained. All the bundle locks are migrated to the new
version and retained.
After the managed device is successfull upgraded, create a new bundle or a polic
on the server and associate it to this managed device. Verif that it will work.

B E S T A C K A G E F O R A M A N A G E D D E V I C E
Objective:
Assist SUSE® Linux Enterprise 10 users to determine the package best suited for
their device so that there is minimal risk in the incompatibilities with latest version of
the kernel, ATI and XGL enablement, etc., and several ke packages.
Steps:
1. Install the ZENworks Agent and register it in the Management Zone. For
detailed information, see Setting Up Managed Devices in the ZENworks 7.2 Linux
Management Installation Guide.
2. Register the managed device to a Red Carpet Enterprise (RCE) or a YUM
server b executing the rug sa URL_of_the_RCE_or_YUM_server
command.
3. On the managed device, install a package that ou need b executing the
rug in package_name command.
Expected Results:
The ZENworks Management Daemon (zmd) installs the package best suited for the
managed device and not the package with the latest version. If ou want install an
exact version of the package and don’t want the ZENworks server to choose the
best package, execute the rug in package_name- package_version
command.

5 : S O F T W A R E A C K A G E R O L L B A C K
Objective:
Revert to a previousl installed software configuration state.
Steps:
1. Ensure that ou have installed the ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management server
components and the ZENworks Agent. For detailed information, see
Installation in the ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management Installation Guide.
2. In the ZENworks Control Center, create a catalog with few packages and
assign it to a managed device. For more information, see Using Catalogs in
the ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management Administration Guide.
3. On the managed device, perform the following steps:
a. Enable the Rollback preference b executing the following command:
rug set rollback true.
The Rollback preference is set to False b default.
b. Subscribe to the catalog created in Step 2 b executing the following
command: rug sub catalog_name.
c. List all packages contained in the catalog created in Step 2 b
executing the following command: rug pa catalog_name.
d. Make a note of the date and time when ou enable the Rollback
preference b executing the date command.
e. Install a package b executing the following command: rug in
package_name.
f. Ensure that the package is installed b executing the following
command: rug pa catalog_name.
The status of the package should be “i”.
g. Roll back to the previousl installed configuration state b executing
the following command: rug ro date_time.
For example: rug ro "02/20/2007 15:55:56"
The date and time ou specif must be from the time ou enable the
Rollback preference to the current time. If ou do not specif the date,
then the current date is considered b default.
Specif the date in the mm/dd/ format. For example, 02/28/2007.
For more information on the date format, see the rug man page.
