The Remote Execute policy is enforced as scheduled, after the managed devices’ next
scheduled refresh. If the time you specified in
Step 11 occurs before the next scheduled refresh,
the policy is enforced on the next refresh.
IMPORTANT: It takes approximately five minutes for the upgrade bundle to be installed and
for the upgrade process to be performed. Do not perform any rug commands such as
rug ref
during the upgrade process. Executing rug commands during the upgrade process might cause
the process to fail.
After the upgrade completes, you can verify that the upgrade was successful by executing the
rug ping
command or refer to
upgrade.log
. The upgrade was successful if the version of
zmd is 7.2.0. If you perform the
rug ping
command prematurely, you receive an exception
message. You can recover by stopping and restarting zmd. The
/tmp/zmd/upgrade.log
must
contain the
“Starting ZENworks Management Daemon...”
message in the last line.
NOTE: Bundle and Package history is not migrated.
