Base - If the Type attribute is ZLM, leave this field empty. If the Type attribute is STATIC,
enter the path to the local directory where you want the packages copied, in the following
format:
/path/on/filesystem
.
Type - Type of mirroring you want to perform:
Š
ZLM: Mirrors catalogs and bundles directly to your ZENworks Linux Management
server. After mirroring, mirrored catalogs and bundles are displayed in the ZENworks
Control Center.
You cannot perform ZLM mirroring on Secondary Servers.
Š
STATIC: Mirrors packages to the file system of your ZENworks Linux Management
server, but does not add them to ZENworks.
You can perform only static mirroring on Secondary Servers.
User - Name to use when connecting to your ZENworks Linux Management (local) server. The
Administrator user should be specified if you want to use the default administrator account.
Password - Password for the account provided in User. If you are using the Administrator
account, this is the password you specified during the server installation.
Catalogs, Bundles, and Packages
Each bundle and package you want to mirror must be contained in a catalog on the remote
server, so Catalog is the only item necessary to mirror a catalog, bundle, or package. A
configuration file can have multiple Catalog elements, and each catalog you want to mirror
must have its own entry.
<Catalog>
<Name>Red Carpet 2</Name>
<LocalName>Red Carpet 2</LocalName>
<Target>sles-9-i586</Target>
<Package>lib.*</Package>
</Catalog>
Local Name - Name of the catalog you want the mirrored software placed in. If no Local
Name is specified, the catalog name from the source server is used. The local name for the
catalog should not be same as that reserved for the <catalogname>-patches folder.
Folder - Specifies the eDir folder (such as /
folder1/folder2
) where bundles and catalogs
are created and updated. If not specified, the catalogs and bundles are created and updated in
the
/zlmmirror
folder.
Target - Restricts the mirroring operation on the catalog to packages and patches that support
the specified target platforms. If the target is not specified, packages for all platforms are
mirrored. This element can be specified multiple times, and can contain either a target name or
a regular expression string for matching target names. For example, to include targets
beginning with sles such as sles-9-i586, use the regular expression
<Target> sles.* </Target> .
ExcludeTarget - Same as Target, except packages and patches supporting the specified target
platforms are excluded. ExcludeTarget is performed after Target, so platforms appearing in a
Target and ExcludeTarget are ultimately excluded. For example, to exclude targets that end
with i586 such as sles-9-i586, use the regular expression
<ExcludeTarget> .*i586 </
ExcludeTarget> .
