21.2.4 Manually Importing Updates to Servers without Internet
Connectivity
If you have servers in your environment that do not have Internet access, you can obtain the update
or Product Recognition Update (PRU) files from the
Novell Downloads page (http://
download.novell.com)
, copy the files onto a CD or other media, and then use the CD to import the
files to a ZENworks Primary Server by using the
zman system-update-import
command. For
more information, see “
System Update/Product Recognition Update Commands
” in the “
ZENworks
Command Line Utilities
” guide.
After the files are on a ZENworks Primary Server, the update or PRU displays in the Available
System Updates panel on the
System Updates
tab in ZENworks Control Center (
Configuration
>
System Updates
). You can then follow the instructions in
Chapter 22, “Deploying Updates,” on
page 197
to deploy the update to managed devices.
21.3 Downloading and Installing the PRU
Novell provides a Product Recognition Update (PRU) to update your knowledgebase so that
ZENworks Inventory can recognize newer software.
This action deploys the PRU to your database and sets its deployment to your managed devices to be
scheduled. Deployment is then done by the ZENworks Adaptive Agent on the devices.
If the PRU is not up-to-date, Inventory might return some software as unrecognized. However, you
can use the
Local Software Products
utility to take a fingerprint of the unrecognized software to
update your knowledgebase.
To download and install the PRU:

In ZENworks Control Center, click
Configuration
in the left pane, then click the
System
Updates
tab.
