I inherited a RHEL5 box with Zenoss 1.x on it. I wanted to go to
Zenoss 2.x (current) on this box. I don't really care about
migrating data. I went through the steps outlined in Data Migration:
Zenoss 1.x to 2.0 but I went to 2.1.3. When I start Zenoss and
browse to :8080 I get the Zope Quick Start page. I'd be just as
happy if I could remove Zenoss completely and install fresh but
don't see that mentioned in the Admin Guide. I tried to search for
this topic but didn't get any hits that gave this information.
You can't go straight from 1.x to 2.1.3. You have to stop on the
latest 2.0 version in between. So the process would look like this:
On 1.x: Run zen2dump.py to dump your database.
Upgrade to 2.0.x: Run zenrestore to load in the database.
Update to 2.1.x: Nothing special. A regular (no dump/load) upgrade.
One thing that might have happened to you is that 2.0.x might have
already had a database so zenrestore didn't overwrite it. You can try
the following steps to delete the database so that zenrestore can work
properly.
zenoss stop
mkdir ~/zenbackup
mv $ZENHOME/var/Data.* ~/zenbackup/
zeoctl start
zenrestore
zenoss start
If you don't care to do this and just want to destroy your database
and restart with 2.1.3 you can do so by doing the following as root.
service zenoss stop
touch /opt/zenoss/.fresh_install
service zenoss start
The .fresh_install file tells Zenoss to build you a new database.
