I'm going do exactly that within our Zenoss production server in the next couple of days. After upgrading my test environment I came to the following conclusions: - Migrating Zenoss & MySql from 32 to 64bit using the same Zenoss version is pretty painless - Migrating from 32 to 64bit and updating Zenoss at the same time should be possible, but I would advice against it. - Migrating RRD files from 32 to 64bit is a real pain in the ass. So my current migration strategy looks like this: - Configuring a new 64bit server with Zenoss 2.2.3. (the version we use on our production server). - Restore MySql Event & Zope Database via ZenRestore - Write a script that dumps & restores the RRD files between the old and new server - Upgrading the new server to Zenoss 2.3.2 One of the things I'm toying with is the idea to add an --rrd-dump option to zenbackup that backups RRD files in XML format instead of native integer format. But I don't know if its really worth the effort. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=30988#30988 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
