Situation

After a upgrade to ZCM 11, the CC (Zenworks Control Center) reports the primary agent as 10.x

Load the xplat agent in debug
/etc/init.d novell-zenworks-xplatzmd debug
 
Error received on the terminal session running the agent:
VM configuration file not found
Attempting to locate VM configuration file /opt/novell/zenworks/share/zmd/java/lib/amd64/jvm.cfg
VM configuration file not found
 

Resolution

Verify java is working properly and has the needed files called during startup as shown in the debug logging.
ZCM 11 ships with jre1.6.0_16.  In this case jre1.6.0_21 was installed and was missing files includeing jvm.cfg.
 
Resolution included installing jre1.6.0_16 and create a symbolic link:
ln -sf /usr/java/jre1.6.0_16 /usr/java/latest 
 
 
 
 

Additional Information

/opt/novell/zenworks/share/zmd/java -> /usr/java/latest
 
/usr/java/latest should have a symbolic link that prints to /usr/java/jre1.6.0_16
Example:
