Creating an Installation DVD from the ISO Download
If you obtained the ZENworks software as an ISO image download, do one of the following to create
the installation DVD:
“Using Windows to Create a ZENworks Installation DVD from an ISO Image” on page 35
“Using Linux to Create a ZENworks Installation DVD from an ISO Image” on page 35
Using Windows to Create a ZENworks Installation DVD from an ISO
Image
1 Download the ZENworks 11 installation ISO image from the Novell Web site (http://
www.novell.com/) and copy it to a temporary location on your Windows device.
2 Burn the ISO image to a DVD.
Using Linux to Create a ZENworks Installation DVD from an ISO
Image
Optionally, you can simply run the installation program from the ISO mount point, instead of burning
the DVD:
1 Download the ZENworks 11 installation ISO image from the Novell Web site (http://
www.novell.com/) and copy it to a temporary location on your Linux device.
2 Do one of the following:
Mount the ISO image by using the following command:
mount -o loop /tempfolderpath/isoimagename.iso mountpoint
Replace tempfolderpath with the path to the temporary folder, replace isoimagename with
the ZENworks ISO filename, and replace mountpoint with the path to the file system
location where you want to mount the image. The path specified by mountpoint must
already exist.
For example:
mount -o loop /zcm11/ZCM11.iso /zcm11/install
Burn the ISO image to a DVD.
3.3.3
Creating an External Certificate
If you plan to use external certificates, install openssl and create individual server certificate with
subject as the server’s Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for all the devices on which you plan to
install ZENworks Primary Server or to use it as Satellites with the authentication role configured.
Do the following to create an individual certificate file:
1 To generate a private key that is needed to create a certificate signing request (CSR), enter the
following command:
openssl genrsa -out zcm.pem 2048
2 To create a CSR that can be signed by the external CA, enter the following command:
openssl req -new -key zcm.pem -out zcm.csr
