I am now receiving this error when I run the zenbackup.py script:
mysqldump: Got error: 1033: Incorrect information in file:
'./events/alert_state.frm' when using LOCK TABLES
I have a feeling that some things have changed in the database since the
version I'm running was written. (0.23.0)
Any advice at this point? The old zenoss install now refuses to run
zenping, so I'm currently not monitoring anything but SNMP data. (about
half of the Zenoss process will not start, and there is nothing useful
showing up in the logs.)
Thanks in advance,
--Todd

Hi Todd,
Great uptime!
You are right you'll be able to get the latest zenbackup and use it on
your instance. Before doing anything tar up your $ZENHOME.
OK, so you need to download three files from the trunk
http://dev.zenoss.org/trac/browser/trunk/bin
zenbackup.py
zenrestore.py
zenbackupcommon.py
Put these files in your bin directory and try it out. It should work.
Let me know if that works for you.

I don't have a zenbackup.py available to me. :/
I am running Zenoss version 0.23.0 right now.
I need to move things over to the Zenoss virtual appliance that I've
got running (1.1.1) on the new box.
Any ideas? Am I going to have to upgrade the version on the old box
before I'll be able to do the backup.. or should I be able to snarf
zenbackup.py from somewhere that will work with version 0.23.0?
Thanks.
(Just a note..current uptime for zope is 98 days, 17 hours, 26 mins.
Stability is a good thing! =D )

Todd,
You can use ${ZENHOME}/bin/zenbackup.py to make a backup .zip file
that contains:
- A copy of your events
- A copy of the device tree
- Performance information (rrd files)
You can run "zenbackup.py --help" to get additional options on what
you can pass to zenbackup.py.
zenbackup.py will produce a tarball, which you can then scp over to
the new machine. You can then use zenbackup.py --restore to expand
the tarball into the zenoss installation.
As for your latter question about a separate zenoss box... Depends
on how many devices you plan to monitor. I monitor about 40 devices
and run zenoss alongside nfs, samba, apache, mt-daapd, mysql, and
some other services.
If you're looking to monitor 500 devices you might want to allocate a
box just to running zenoss. :)

Is there a procedure or a README available about how to properly
migrate Zenoss data from one machine to another?
Also.. am I better off building a box that has Zenoss, and a lot of
other things running on it, or am I better off using the VMWare
appliance? (VMWare is already installed on the box, and installing
the appliance wouldn't be a difficult task.
Thanks,
