Here are some examples of ZLM 7 ZLMmirror configurations – fresh from cvs.
There are several key changes to mirroring from ZENworks 6.x Linux Management or Red Carpet Enterprise:
– a single configuration file for all mirror services
– configuration file is now an XML document rather than a conf file
Examples will be given for mirroring from RCE/ZLM 6.x (such as update.novell.com), YaST Online Update, Red Hat Network and finally ZLM 7 upstream services.
Here is the basic structure
<ZLMMirrorConf>
<Session>
<RemoteServer>
<Base>base</Base>
<Proxy>proxy</Proxy>
<Type>type</Type>
<User>user</User>
<Password>password</Password>
</RemoteServer>

Notes:
Mirroring from ZLM/RCE
This is a sample zlmmirror configuration file for mirroring from a Red Carpet Enterprise (RCE) or ZENworks Linux Management 6 server.
Required steps to mirror using this configuration file:
1. Using the <RemoteServer><Base> field, specify the URL of the remote RCE or ZLM6 server you wish to mirror.
2. Configure the <LocalServer><User> and <LocalServer><Password> fields below with the local ZLM server’s administrator name and password.
3. Specify a catalog name in the <Catalog><Name> field below. Use “zlmmirror server‑list‑catalogs” to see a full list of catalog names available on this server.
Optional steps to mirror using this configuration file:
1. If you wish to mirror to an RCE/ZLM6 server using account information from another machine, copy the user and password values from that machine into the <RemoteServer><User> and <RemoteServer><Password> fields. See the <RemoteServer> section below for more information.
2. If you wish to connect to the remote server via a proxy server, specify the proxy server URL in the <RemoteServer><Proxy> field.
3. If you wish to restrict the mirroring to certain portions of the remote catalog, you may specify those restrictions using the following fields in the <Catalog> section: <Target>, <ExcludeTarget>, <Bundle>, <ExcludeBundle>, <Package>, <ExcludePackage>
4. If you wish to mirror more than one remote catalog during this session, create another <Catalog> section.
*** RemoteServer section for Red Carpet Enterprise/ZENworks
Linux Management 6 servers ***
If this machine has not registered with the remote RCE/ZLM6
server, or you wish to use the account information from another
machine, you may copy the account information from that other
machine into the <User> and <Password> fields. The username on
a RCE/ZLM6 machine is stored in the /etc/ximian/mcookie file.
The password is stored in the /etc/ximian/partnernet file. For
ZLM7 machines, the username is stored in the
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/zmd/deviceid file, and the password is
stored in the /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/zmd/secret file.
<Base> must contain the URL of a Red Carpet Enterprise or ZENworks
Linux Management 6 server. For example:
https://red‑carpet.ximian.com
<Proxy> (optional) may contain the URL of a proxy server.
<Type> must contain “rce” for RCE and ZLM6 servers.
<User> contains the user account to use for authenticating
to the RCE/ZLM6 server. If not specified, the contents of
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/zmd/deviceid is used.
<Password> contains the password to use for authenticating to the
RCE/ZLM6 server. If not specified, the contents of
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/zmd/secret is used.

*** Catalogs configuration section ***
You may include multiple <Catalog> sections to mirror multiple
remote catalogs during a single session.
<Name> must contain the name of a catalog on the remote server.
Use “zlmmirror server‑list‑catalogs” to see a full list of
catalog names available on this server.
<LocalName> (optional) may contain the name of the local catalog
to receive the mirrored packages. If not specified, the remote
catalog name is used.
<Folder> (optional) may contain the full name of a local folder
(e.g. /folder1/folder2/folder3) in the Bundles folder of
the ZLM Data Store where mirrored catalogs and bundles will
be created. If not specified, “/zlmmirror” is used.
<Target>, <ExcludeTarget> (optional) may contain targets to
include and exclude in the mirroring. May contain regular
expressions (for example: . matches one character, .*
matches multiple characters, …).
<Bundle>, <ExcludeBundle> (optional) may contain remote bundles to
include and exclude in the mirroring. May contain regular
expressions (for example: . matches one character, .*
matches multiple characters, …).
