Environment


Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 Imaging

Situation

ZCM 11.2.4 - imaging upgraded with drivers from November 2013 Imaging Update, or ZCM 11.2.4 MU1

When attempting to using imaging on a device that uses the ALX driver (e.g., HP 7500 MT which uses the Atheros AR8161/8165 NIC), the ALX driver is selected, but does not issue a DHCP request, so no IP address is given.

Resolution

 This is fixed in version 11.3 - see KB 7014213 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.3 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7014213

This is also fixed in the ZENworks Imaging Driver Update for January 2014, which can be downloaded from https://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=oOaONfBNtCg~
