18 ZENworks 11 Server Installation Guide

Satellite Requirements
A is a managed device that can perform some of the roles that a ZENworks Primary Server normally
performs, including authentication, information collection, content distribution, and imaging. A
Satellite can be any managed Windows, Macintosh or Linux device (server or workstation), but not a
Primary Server.
The following sections contain more information:
Section 1.3.1, “Windows Device Performing Satellite Roles,” on page 19
Section 1.3.2, “Linux Device Performing Satellite Roles,” on page 20
Hostname Resolution
The server must resolve device hostnames by
using a method such as DNS (recommended).
Server names must support DNS requirements,
such as not having underscores in their names,
or ZENworks login fails. Acceptable characters
are the letters a-z (uppercase and lowercase),
numbers, and the hyphen (-).
If you use DNS, it must be properly set up, or
some features in ZENworks might not work.
IP Address
The server must have a static IP address or a
permanently leased DHCP address.
If you have multiple NIC's it is recommended to
bind the IP addresses on all the NIC's. However,
ZENworks works even if one IP address is
configured.
TCP Ports: 7628 You must assign the Network Interface to the firewall
zone. Firewall rules are applied to this zone for
managing the ports used by ZENworks 11 .
Supported Hypervisors ZENworks server software can be installed in the
following hypervisors:
VMware Workstation 6.5
XEN (Novell SLES 10, SLES 11 and Citrix
XenServer 5.x)
VMware ESX (4.1 update1)
Microsoft Hyper-V Server Windows 2008 R2
In addition, the following requirements apply:
Only released versions of guest operating
systems (VMs) are supported. Experimental
guest operating systems are not supported.
The guest operating system must match the
operating system specified when creating the
VM. For example, if the guest operating system is
specified as SLES 10 during creation of the VM,
the actual guest operating system must be SLES
10.
