from admin guide:

If you used the *--save-mysql-access* option when you created the backup file then you only need to specify *--file* when you run zenrestore. Otherwise, you need to specify dbname, dbuser and dbpass also.

your mysql db have zenoss default password or you customize it?
your mysql db is up and running?

if mysql daemon is stopped zen restore correcly gives you this error

**Can't connect to local MySQL server**

start only mysql daemon and restart zenrestore

Dear Andrea,

I have also perform these steps in below manners.
1.Stop Zenoss (./ctlscript.sh stop zenoss).
2.Start MySQL (./ctlscript.sh start mysql)
3.Perform Zenrestore (*zenrestore --file=/home/abc.tgz*)

Then no error was come and then i start all zenoss services but ZENHUB,ZENEVENTLOG,ZENPROCESS and ZENWIN demons are not running and devices cant poll current data.

Regards,
Arshad Ahmed

Any chance your permissions got messed up for mysql.sock, or permissions on the /tmp directory?
* You've updated /etc/hosts to reflect the new address
* You've updated the 'bind-address' directive in /etc/my.cnf to reflect either the new IP address, or '0.0.0.0' to bind to all local addresses.
When you get a chance, verify the above conditions are met and if they are then the answer to the problem likely is contained in the mysql .err log.

Why not ensure both BOTH source and target can properly resolve the names to IPs? than the question becomes irrelevant.

Hi All,

I am setup new zenoss server(ver 3.2.1) so I take backup of current zenoss (ver 3.1) and restore the same in new.
There was no error in the backup and restore. I started zenoss on new and it started without error but I am not able to see my devices, users,etc. but only events are there. I tried it 4-5 times but result was same. I also tried zenmigration but no luck.

than I upgrade my current zenoss to 3.2.1(as new one is 3.2.1)and do the same backup and restore.but same error this time I cannot see the devices/users/groups/location it only show the events.

I am not sure how to restore the backup on new server.

HBisht

harish / arshadkhan:

Restore normally then untar a copy and move the Data.fs to $ZENHOME/var/ replacing the destination file.

Zenrestore / Zenbackup isn't a great solution in v2 and v3. In v2 and v3 to backup the zodb simply zeopack and copy the $ZENHOME/var/Data.fs.old. That's the entire ZODB. Backup the file structure as you would any and backup the events db using an occasional mysqldump. In v4 zenbackup works much better..

Best,
