29.1 Configuring Content Replication at the
Management Zone Level
1
In ZENworks Control Center, click the
Configuration
tab.
2
In the Management Zone Settings panel, click
Content
>
Content Replication
.
3
Fill in the fields:
Primary Server Recurring Content Replication Schedule:
Use the
Days
,
Hours
, and
Minutes
fields to set the schedule.
You can use any combination of the fields. For example, to specify every 30 hours, you can
enter 30 hours or 1 day, 6 hours.
NOTE:
If a Satellite device is at the end of a very slow link (for example, a 128K WAN), you
might want to disable the content replication schedule so that content can be manually
replicated by using the
zac wake-cdp (cdp)
command. You could also use a chron job to run
this command as needed, because the current content replication schedule does not allow
specific days/dates or times to be set (for example, Saturday or Sunday). For more information
about the zac wake-cdp command, see “
Content Distribution Commands
in the
ZENworks 10
Configuration Management Command Line Utilities Reference
”.
To disable the content replication schedule on a Satellite device set the Schedule Type to No
Schedule. For more information on setting the schedule type, see
Section 7.2.3, “Content
Role,” on page 84
.
Primary Server Output Throttling in KB/Sec:
Select the throttling rate you want to use.
This rate applies to all ZENworks Servers in your zone. You cannot set individual throttling
rates.
The content replication throttling rate determines the maximum amount of content (in kilobytes
per second) that a ZENworks Server transfers when replicating content to other content servers
or when distributing content to managed devices.
By default, no throttling rate is imposed, which means that a ZENworks Server uses all
available bandwidth.
Agent Content Checksum:
Specify whether the ZENworks Agent on managed devices
computes the checksum of downloaded content and compares that checksum to the stored
checksum for that content on the ZENworks Primary Server.
Comparing checksums helps to ensure that no errors were introduced during the downloading
of the content and that the content was not altered.
Under normal conditions, you should use the default of
On
. If your ZENworks System has
serious performance issues, you can set this setting to
Off
to increase performance.
Satellite Content Checksum:
Specify whether the ZENworks Agent on Satellite devices
computes the checksum of downloaded content and compares that checksum to the stored
checksum for that content on the ZENworks Primary Server.
Comparing checksums helps to ensure that no errors were introduced during content replication
and that the content was not altered.
