Overview

Zenoss releases alot of updates. Luckily, upgrading for me has been painless so far. Here is my procedure. Its basically whats in the new admin guide.

Procedure

  • 1. Backup your zenoss data: 
zenoss$ zenbackup --save-mysql-access --file /tmp/zenoss-backup.tgz
zenoss$ tar czf /tmp/complete-backup.tar.gz $ZENHOME
zenoss$ mkdir –p /tmp/zenoss-tmp/mysql
zenoss$ mkdir –p /tmp/zenoss-tmp/zenoss
zenoss$ cp /usr/local/zenoss/mysql/my.cnf /tmp/zenoss-tmp/mysql
zenoss$ cp /usr/local/zenoss/zenoss/etc/* /tmp/zenoss-tmp/zenoss
  • 2. Download and install the latest zenoss-stack installer and copy it to your zenoss server.
  • 3. Run the installer. If you want to see the xwindows gui export you DISPLAY variable first.
  • 4. After the installer is done copy your data back in. 
cp /tmp/zenoss-tmp/mysql/my.cnf /usr/local/zenoss/mysql
cp /tmp/zenoss-tmp/zenoss/* /usr/local/zenoss/zenoss/etc
  • 5. Restart Zenoss. 
/etc/init.d/zenoss-stack restart
