Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management - ZLM7.2 IR1 HP3

Situation

Running zlmmirror cv path_to_config_file did not report any syntax error with multiple catalog sections defined.

Resolution

To obtain access to a hot patch with the fix for this problem, follow the instructions in KB 3469853 "Updates to Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

Additional Information

Multiple catalog sections can be defined, however, each section must point to a different catalog and not to the same catalog.

But if both syntax are correct then the name of the catalog should not be relevant and zlmmirror should be able to perform everything defined in the xml file whether it is:

1. To have multiple catalog sections each with a single architecture -
.
or
2. To have a single catalog section with multiple architecture specified.
