Resolution

Note: Upgrading Primary servers to ZENworks 11 SP4 (11.4.0) must be done with media, not via System Update, and with ZENworks services on all but one Primary server shut down.

The media is downloadable from https://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=5XgKbcTLiss~ and the documentation is at https://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks114/ - look at this very carefully, especially regarding prerequisites and upgrade methods.
