How can I apply SLE 10 Service Pack updates to devices that are offline or that have limited connectivity to the ZENworks Linux Management server?
If the managed devices are distributed across remote geographical locations and have limited connectivity with the ZENworks Linux Management server, the patches or updates cannot be distributed directly by using bundles because the redundant data is transmitted over the network to all the managed devices. By using the File bundle, the downloaded updates can be distributed to each remote server device at a particular location. The remote server can be configured as a Web Server to publish the deployed packages in the Yum repository. All the agents can trigger update from this local Yum source by using the rug up command, by assigning a Remote Execute Policy from the ZENworks Linux Management Server.
