Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.4 Imaging

Situation

The ZENworks May 2016 Imaging Update defaults to the Kernel Parameter "consoleblank=600" (600 Seconds).
Prior versions of ZCM Imaging defaulted to "consoleblank=0" (Never).

Resolution

This is fixed in version ZENworks Configuration Management 2017 Update 1 - see KB 7020155 "ZENworks Configuration Management 2017 Update 1 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7020155

As a Workaround add the Kernel Parameter "consoleblank=0" to the Imaging Environment.
