Before you can use ZENworks 11 SP4 to upgrade OES2 SP2 servers to OES2 SP3, you must have the following:
A ZENworks 11 SP4 server installed and running in your network.
For more information, see the ZENworks 11 SP4 Server Installation Guide.
The ZENworks 11 SP4 Agent installed on each OES2SP2 server that you plan to upgrade.
IMPORTANT:The agent included with OES only provides package-management capabilities via the ZENworks Management Daemon. Unless the full agent is installed, updates cannot be scheduled from the ZENworks 11 SP4 server.
Each OES2 SP2 server registered with the ZENworks 11 SP4 server.
Each OES2 SP2 server updated with the latest OES2 SP2 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 SP3 patches.
It doesn’t matter which update method you use.
