Hi Eric, thanks for the advice. When I did the upgrade, at the very end I got this output:
configuring build/libsmi-0.4.5/Makefile installing libsmi installing conf/zope.conf.in Restoring backup tar: ./backup/test.sql: Cannot open: File exists tar: ./backup/2006-09-09-17-13-05.dat: Cannot open: File exists tar: ./backup/tmp.sql: Cannot open: File exists tar: ./backup/information_schema.sql: Cannot open: File exists tar: ./backup/2006-09-09-17-13-05.fs: Cannot open: File exists tar: ./backup/mysql.sql: Cannot open: File exists tar: ./backup/events.sql: Cannot open: File exists tar: ./backup: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Starting Zope Object Database . daemon process started, pid=5551 Migrating data Data migration failed i started ZenOSS and took a look at my devices, and everything seems to be in place. Should I be concerned or attempt another install? I am pretty sure those files were created by my daily backup cron job (and yes, I did a backup before I did the upgrade :) :) >>> On Tue, Sep 19, 2006 at 3:23 PM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi Dave, > > The install- in- place situation is actually easier. > Just pull down the tarball, unpack it, and run install.sh. > It will prompt you to preserve your data. > > That being said, a smart person always makes a back- up before upgrading: > > $ zenoss stop > $ cd $ZENHOME > $ tar - czvf /tmp/zenhome.tar.gz . > > - Eric > > DAVE CUSHING wrote: >> I am not on the VMWare, I installed on my own SuSE server, I assume the >> procedure would be the same though? >> >> >> >>>>> On Tue, Sep 19, 2006 at 1:41 PM, in message >>>>> >> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> >>> Hi Dave, >>> >>> We are still working on a strategy for updating the VMWare images. >>> >> We >> >>> made a major switch with this release to the RPath virtual appliance >>> >> to >> >>> create our VMWare images. >>> >>> The following procedure will move your configuration from a running >>> zenoss to the new image. >>> >>> 1.
