Configuration Management
If you want to change only the DNS name or if you want to change both the IP address and DNS
name of the Primary Server after installing ZENworks 10 Configuration Management SP3, and if
the certificate’s CN has fully qualified DNS configured, use the following steps to change only the
DNS name or to change both the IP address and DNS name of the Primary Server:
NOTE:
This scenario has been tested only on the Windows Primary Server and the embedded
Sybase database. In this setup, the DNS and DHCP servers are configured on the same device.

Before changing the IP address of the Primary Server, take a reliable backup of the following
on all the Primary Servers in the Management Zone:
Content-Repo Directory:
The
content-repo
directory is located by default in the
ZENworks_installation_directory
\work
directory on Windows and in the
/var/
opt/novell/zenworks/
on Linux.
Ensure that the
images
directory located within the
content-repo
directory has been
successfully backed up.
Certificate Authority:
For detailed information on how to take a backup of the
Certificate Authority, see
Section 10.3, “Backing Up the Certificate Authority,” on
page 121
.
Embedded Database:
For detailed information on how to take a backup of the Embedded
database, see
Section 34.3, “Backing Up the Embedded Sybase SQL Anywhere

Change the IP address and the DNS name of the Primary Server.
Change the DNS name only of the Primary Server.
3
Reboot the Primary Server.
4
Ensure that the DNS entry of the Primary Server has been updated with the new DNS name.
5
Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) by providing the hostname of the Primary Server as
the subject.
For more information on how to create a CSR, see “
