Environment
Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management - ZLM7.2
Situation
If there is a refresh schedule time and system lock time set for the same time, then after unlocking the system, if a rug ref is preformed, the following is displayed:
zlm-automation2:~ # rug ref
ERROR: A Refresh request already Running. This Refresh is Ignored. Please Try
After Sometime.
After Sometime.
After multiple attempts using rug ref, the same error is produced.
Resolution
To obtain access to a hot patch with the fix for this problem, follow the instructions in TID 3469853 "Updates to Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support
Additional Information
This happens because while the refresh was
already in progress and immediately the device gets locked, then the
zenservice refresh capablities fails. So even after unlock the
refreshprogress is still in memory and hence it does not allow any
future requests. It can be fixed by allowing the current refresh to go
through when a device lock is triggered.
