Hey Dave,
No worries: the main thing to be concerned about is $ZENHOME/var.

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 :) :)

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 .

I am not on the VMWare, I installed on my own SuSE server, I assume
the
procedure would be the same though?

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. On the old install, create a backup of your var and perf
directories:
$ zenoss stop
$ cd $ZENHOME
$ tar - czvf backup.tar.gz var perf
2. Copy the tarball over to the new image. In the new image, do
the
following:
$ zenoss stop
$ cd $ZENHOME
$ rm - rf var perf
$ tar - xzvf backup.tar.gz
Copying the file to the new image is not trivial.
You can use scp on the command line to copy it across.
You will need to set the root password on the destination image
for
scp to work.
3. Note that mysql on the new image uses the username and password
'zenoss'.
You may have to update your configuration to use these values:
Start Zope:
$ zopectl start
Point your browser at the new image and use the following URL to
change the username and password:
http://new- image- ip-
address:8080/zport/dmd/ZenEventManager/manage_propertiesFor
m
4. Whenever you upgrade Zenoss, you should run the migration
script:
$ zenmigrate run
If that succeeds, run it again and commit the changes:
$ zenmigrate run -- commit
Let me know how you make out; this will be easier in the future.

Once I download the new version, how do I upgrade without losing
any
of
my existing data? Just the regular install? (I haven't done an
upgrade
thus far, and I couldn't find anything in the admin docs).
