Installation guide

System Requirements 9
Disk Space 7 GB recommended for running.
Depending on the amount of
content you need to distribute, this
number can vary greatly.
Patch Management file storage
(downloaded patch content)
requires at least 25 GB of
additional free disk space. All
content replication servers also
require this same amount of
additional free disk space if Patch
Management is enabled. If you
use Patch Management in
additional languages, each server
also requires this additional
amount of free space for each
language used.
Because the ZENworks database file and ZENworks
content repository can each become very large, you
might want a separate partition or hard drive available.
For information on changing the default content
repository location on a Windows server, see “Content
Repository” in the ZENworks 11 Primary Server and
Satellite Reference.
For Linux servers, you might want the
/var/opt
directory to be located on a large partition. This is
where the database (if embedded) and content
repository are stored.
/etc directory requires less space.

ZENworks Configuration
Management supports files with
size 4 GB.
DNS
Resolution
The servers and workstations in
the Management Zone must use
properly configured DNS to
resolve device hostnames,
otherwise some features in
ZENworks will not work properly. If
the DNS is not properly
configured, the servers cannot
communicate with each other, and
the workstations cannot
communicate with the servers.
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 (-).
IP Address
 The server must have a static
IP address or a permanently
leased DHCP address.
 An IP address must be
bound to all NICs on your
target server.
Installation hangs if it is trying to use a NIC that does
not have an IP address bound to it.
