Wane,
Zenoss should work on solaris. We have an older version running at a
client site that uses solaris. You will need a full GNU build
environment but with that I believe it will build. Post to the list
if you have any issues. Abstracting MySQL is something people have
brought up. It might be a little work but is not impossible. Not a
top priority right now. Its being tracked in ticket http://
dev.zenoss.org/trac/ticket/113

Hi...please forgive in advance a possibly unforgiveably newbie
question.
I've been looking at ZenOSS as a possible solution to a number of
problems here and as a nicely modular offering to fit into where
I'd like to head our network monitoring and event presentation
architecture.
What I've not found anywhere laid out, at least that my eyes have
caught, is a statement of what systems are supported for hosting
ZenOSS itself, being the daemon processes and manager utilities.
What I'd *think* is that it would run anywhere that Zope and MySQL
can run and that a Python interpreter and runtime of sufficiently
modern rev level can be accessed. That may be naive when things
like install scripts are taken into account.
To cut to the chase, we have a unique requirement to host our
monitoring collection points on Solaris--both Sparc and Intel (in
addition to RHEL and FreeBSD). They meet all of the above
criteria, but I've not run across anything in the archive for the
users' list that says somebody is running on Solaris--only Linux
and FreeBSD to date. The fact that folks speak of needing to run
using VMWare makes me even more convinced there's more to ZenOSS
hosting than Zope, Python, and MySQL. Is this merely a testing
issue? Has anybody done this already (Solaris) and I just haven't
run across it?
If somehow my original instinct is correct that the support matrix
should be as unlimited as Python's, let me go for the daily double--
how hard would it be (I'm a developer of pretty extensive
experience, although only cursory with Python--to date) to abstract
the DBMS access layer so that somthing other than MySQL could be
supported? Not knowing now Zeo or other data abstractions work
internally, I have no instinctual clue on that one.
Thanks for bearing with my naivete!
Regards,
Wayne
