B.1 Preparing the Environment

Before you use ZENworks 2020 or later to upgrade the OES 2023 servers to OES 23.4, you must have the following:

  • A ZENworks 2020 or later server installed and running in your network. For more information, see the ZENworks Server Installation.

  • The ZENworks 2020 or later agent installed on each OES 2023 server that you plan to upgrade.

  • Each OES 2023 server registered with the ZENworks 2020 or later server.

  • Each OES 2023 server updated with the latest OES 2023 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, (SLES) 15 SP4 patches: OES2023-SLE-Module-Basesystem15-SP4-Pool, OES2023-SLE-Module-Basesystem15-SP4-Updates, OES2023-SLE-Module-Basesystem15-SP4-Updates-patches, OES2023-SLE-Module-Containers15-SP4-Pool, OES2023-SLE-Module-Containers15-SP4-Updates, OES2023-SLE-Module-Containers15-SP4-Updates-patches, OES2023-SLE-Module-Desktop-Applications15-SP4-Pool, OES2023-SLE-Module-Desktop-Applications15-SP4-Updates, OES2023-SLE-Module-Desktop-Applications15-SP4-Updates-patches, OES2023-SLE-Module-Server-Applications15-SP4-Pool, OES2023-SLE-Module-Server-Applications15-SP4-Updates, OES2023-SLE-Module-Server-Applications15-SP4-Updates-patches, OES2023-SLE-Product-SLES15-SP4-Pool, OES2023-SLE-Product-SLES15-SP4-Updates, and OES2023-SLE-Product-SLES15-SP4-Updates-patches.
