Environment


Novell ZENworks Tally Systems TS.Census
Novell ZENworks Asset Management 7 - ZAM7
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9

Situation

Error: "Creating target directory /tmp/makeself.extract.20958
Verifying archive integrity ... CRC checksums do not match:
Expecting: 2510400236 10569744
Actual: 1187546363 10569574
Writing sysinfo path to config file
ERROR: sysinfo executable missing after install, install failed? 
The Linux box is discovered by the management server, but the information does not scan in.  Message on the management console "1 workstations will be scanned when reconnected" and then it never scans.

Resolution

Check  to see if WinSCP FTP is being used to upload  the mcsysinfo-5.1.3-linux-x86.sh file.  By default, WinSCP uses the "automatic" settings to transfer the files via text mode rather than binary.  Manually select the binary method re-upload the file.
