It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read and follow the upgrade instructions available from the download page before upgrading or installing!!! http://dev.zenoss.org/trac/browser/trunk/inst/ZEN2UPGRADE.txt?format=txt ======================================================= Download and additional information available from: http://community.zenoss.com/code/zenoss-2.0 Issues fixed in this release include: Problems with zen2load.py ======================================================= There was a bug in zen2load.py that caused it to not index the organizers properly which made many of the auto discovery features not work. As a result people who have done an upgrade from 1.x will need to rebuild the indexes. To do this run the following. $ zendmd >>> reindex() >>> commit() Problems with zen2dump ======================================================= There were a couple of issues with the zen2dump.py script. This has been fixed but you must redump and then reload your data for the fix to happen. * Duplicate IPs could be created as a result of the order in which zen2dump.py was exporting the Network tree. The problem would only occur when the default zProperty zDefaultNetworkTree was changed. * Any templates that were defined on a device were not being exported properly Special Instructions After Source Install ======================================================= Builds from source will need to set the permissions on zensocket. To make this change, use the following command: su root -c "chown root $ZENHOME/bin/zensocket; chmod uog+rx,u+ws $ZENHOME/bin/zensocket" Changes Since Beta 1.9.6 ======================================================= * IE should be fully functional * cleanup of device menus so that actions on a device list and on a device class are pretty much the same * set the "Monitored" flag to true by default on WinService and IpService. This shortens these list significantly * handle bad renderurl so that it doesn't go into cazy recusion * event history page is cleaner * longer timeout period for zentrap and zensyslog so that bogus hearbeat failures don't occur * refactor of zenmodeler's locking code * properly display Production State names in where clause builder when they have been changed * networks with /31 or /32 don't show -2 IPs available * Bind Templates and Reset Bindings menus in DeviceClass now * zenbackup has option to choose its temporary directory * return in event filter box doesn't blank out the event list * lower the number of SNMP packets in flight to make sure we don't overrun system buffers * respect monitored state of a box when pushing configuration changes * add --monitor flag to zendisc that allows the selection of a remote collector * make execution of user defined commands from the UI work properly * Fix Edit Product page so that it doesn't blow up with missing isOs attribute * Handle missing ZenPack directories better * Folder links in OS Process sequencing page now work * Major update to initial DMD database load Regards, Zenoss Dev Team -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=6813#6813 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
