You should periodically run the zlmmirror utility to obtain updated Dell Update Packages. You can
automate the process by creating a cron job to perform the mirror session as often as needed
(monthly, for example).
25.6 Mirroring Bundles Between ZENworks 7.2
Linux Management Servers Located in Different
Management Zones
You can mirror bundles in a catalog from a remote primary ZENworks Linux Management server
located in one management zone to a local primary ZENworks Linux Management server located in
another management zone. The servers use the HTTPS protocol at TCP port 443 to communicate
with each other. You can mirror RPM package bundles, patch bundles, file bundles, and DUP
bundles from the remote ZENworks server to the local ZENworks server. When you mirror bundles
from the remote server, only the version of the bundle that is currently deployed is mirrored to the
local server. A new version of the bundle is created on the local server irrespective of the deployed
version of the bundle on the remote server.
1 Before registering to the remote server, delete the existing ZENworks service on the local
server by entering the following command:
Local-ZLM-Server# rug sd < URL_of_the_existing_ZLM_server >
2 Register the local primary ZENworks Linux Management server to the remote primary
ZENworks Linux Management server as a ZENworks service by entering the following
command:
Local-ZLM-Server# rug sa < URL_of_the_remote_ZLM_server >
You are required to register the server only once, so that the local server updates its credentials
to the remote server.
3 Add the bundles that you want to mirror to a catalog on the remote server, and assign the
catalog to the local primary server from the remote server.
4 Assign the catalog on the remote server to the local server by using the Assign Catalog option
in the ZENworks Control Center, or by entering the following command at the command line:
zlman server-add-catalog
For more information, see Section 22.3, “Assigning Catalogs,” on page 271 and the zlman (1)
(page 547) .
5 Create a mirror configuration file.
For more information, see
“Creating the Configuration Files by using the Command Line
Utility” on page 291 or “Creating a Configuration File by Using the xzlmmirror Utility” on
page 296 .
