You can require the target server to have a certain operating system before installing the software package.
However, in order to process the software package, the target server must also have a ZENworks for Servers 3.0.2 Subscriber (with Interim Release 1 or later) or a ZENworks 6.5, 6.5 SP1, or 7 Server Management Subscriber installed and running. Therefore, only the network operating systems supported by these Subscribers can be specified here.
Add Requirements to Control Availability of This Component
Specify an identification for this operating system requirement.
Platform
Specify the platform required for installation of the software package. Currently, Linux*, NetWare®, Solaris*, and Windows* are available.
Version
You can specify which version of Linux, NetWare, or Solaris, or any relationship to that version, such as:
Any
Less Than
Less Than or Equal To
Equal To
Greater Than
Greater Than or Equal To
For Windows servers, version information cannot be specified. Therefore, Windows is not included in the table below.
If you select an option other than Any for the Version field, the following fields should be filled in:
Major
The upper version limit.Minor
The upper version limit.Revision
The required service pack revision.Fill in the above fields according to the information from the following table.
IMPORTANT: Support packs or OS versions that are released after this file is published are not included in this table. For the most updated version, see "Operating System" under Requirements for Server Software Packages in the ZENworks 7 Server Management Administration Guide on the documentation Web site.

You do not need to specify the Subscriber version here; however, the software package cannot be successfully sent and extracted on a server with one of these network operating systems unless the correct product version for the Subscriber software is running on it.
It is possible to have both ZENworks 6.5 (or later) Server Management and ZENworks for Servers 3.0.2 running in your network, such as when you are upgrading incrementally. This table provides platform information for both ZENworks product versions. See the Upgrade section in the ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Installation Guide for information on upgrading incrementally.
2 Where variable is listed for the Linux platforms in this table, the number that you enter in the Revision field is the kernel revision that was either first shipped with the installed Linux operating system, or a later version that you might have updated your Linux servers to. You can use the uname -a command to determine the exact Revision number.
Also, the Revision number you need to enter depends on what you specify in the Version field (Equal To, Greater Than, and so on). For example, you could enter 0 in the Revision field and select Greater Than in the Version field to include all kernel revisions.
3 Because Linux versions are the same for Red Hat and SUSE, and you can only select Linux in the Platform field, to differentiate between those two Linux distributions, elsewhere in the software package you can require a certain file belonging to either Red Hat or SUSE to exist on the server. For example, the /etc/SuSE-release file could be required on the server, so that only servers with the SUSE LINUX version are accepted for receiving the software package.
