Š
Section 11.1, “Replacing the First Primary Server with the Second Primary Server,” on
page 123
Š
Section 11.2, “Replacing an Existing Primary Server with a New Primary Server,” on page 126
Š Section 11.3, “Re-Creating Certificates,” on page 128
11.1 Replacing the First Primary Server with the
Second Primary Server
You can replace the first Primary Server in your Management Zone with an existing second Primary
Server or with a new server. If you choose to replace the first Primary Server with a new server that
has a different hostname and IP address, you must install ZENworks 10 Configuration Management
on the new server in the same Management Zone. Consequently, the new server becomes the second
Primary Server.
The first Primary Server and the second Primary Server must have the same version of the
ZENworks 10 Configuration Management installed.
NOTE: This scenario has been tested on the following platform combinations:
Š
Windows Server* 2003 (32-bit) to Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)
Š SUSE
®
Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 (32-bit) to SLES 10 (32-bit)
It has not been tested with ZENworks Reporting Server.
This scenario is not supported on Windows to Linux and vice-versa platform combinations.
To replace the first Primary Server with the second Primary Server:
1 Make sure that all the contents of the
content-repo
directory of the first Primary Server are
replicated to the second Primary Server.
The
content-repo
directory is located in the
ZENworks_installation_directory \work\
directory on Windows and in the
/var/opt/novell/zenworks/
directory on Linux.
