B.1 Preparing the Environment

Before you use ZENworks 2020 or later to upgrade the OES 23.4 servers to OES 24.4, 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 23.4 server that you plan to upgrade.

  • Each OES 23.4 server registered with the ZENworks 2020 or later server.

  • Each OES 23.4 server updated with the latest OES 23.4 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, (SLES) 15 SP4 patches: OES23.4-SLE-Module-Basesystem15-SP4-Pool, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Basesystem15-SP4-Updates, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Basesystem15-SP4-Updates-patches, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Containers15-SP4-Pool, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Containers15-SP4-Updates, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Containers15-SP4-Updates-patches, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Desktop-Applications15-SP4-Pool, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Desktop-Applications15-SP4-Updates, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Desktop-Applications15-SP4-Updates-patches, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Server-Applications15-SP4-Pool, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Server-Applications15-SP4-Updates, OES23.4-SLE-Module-Server-Applications15-SP4-Updates-patches, OES23.4-SLE-Product-SLES15-SP4-Pool, OES23.4-SLE-Product-SLES15-SP4-Updates, and OES23.4-SLE-Product-SLES15-SP4-Updates-patches.
