Re: ZMD -
The entire Zenworks system is broken for SP1. My Zenworks 7.2 patch
server still hasn't downloaded a single patch for SP1 even though
several are present on Novell's web site. The Zenworks people have
been very quite about this issue -
I wrote folks at Novell about this issue at the end of June and got
this response:
"the ZLM team is working on this. At the moment the only way to get SP1
patches in ZLM is to first use YUP, and use zlman to put the SP1 rpms
into ZLM ... either "manually" or with yup2zlm."
Now it could be that the patches are on different servers or in a
different place on the same server - all you need to do is edit your
xml config file for the Zenworks patch system's zlmmirror command and
off you go - who knows. For what ever reason they don't seem to be
saying - I searched Novell's web site several days ago and really
can't find any mention about re-configuring a working Zenworks server
to handle SP1 patches.
So, in essence if you have a running/depending on a Zenworks server
and transition to SP1 you can forget for who knows how long patching
the OS.
I'm starting to wonder if the Zenworks folks and the Suse folks ever
talk to each other - how long was SP1 in testing? Someone in the
Zenworks development team had to know that this was an issue.

Just a quick question. Since SP1, has there been any available updates? The reason i ask, is because since SP1 install i have not gotten any notice of updates. I even have packman repo in my installation source. Packman has updates just about once a week and i have not even gotten any notice about packman updates. With SLES10/SLED10 you have switched to SP1 using the migrate-to-sp1 patch?
Ciao, Marcus That is correct.
Since I upgraded to SLED SP1 I have to right click the update icon and tell it to check for updates. It will then find them. It seems like the mechanism for automatically checking is broken...
Is there a log file for updates using zmd? Maybe this would help to find out the problem.
