Hey

I just noticed that Zenoss Core 4.2.4 has been released, unfortunately I don't see any documents explaining how to perform an upgrade?

Today I'm running Core 4.2.3 on Centos 6.4 64bit, it has been installed by the auto-deploy.sh script available on wiki.zenoss.org.

I tried to download the new autodeploy, but it seems as though it requires me to uninstall everything (mysql libraries and zenoss 4.2.3). Is this actually the case? If so, will this not delete everything I have made in zenoss?

Can anyone explain in simple terms the "correct" way of upgrading?

Regards
Thomas

You should be able to do as root:
service zenoss stop
yum install --enablerepo=epel redis
rpm -uvh zenossrpmname
service zenoss start

You may need to go into the WebUI and re-set the zenhub passwords in the daemon config for the daemons that have it - to the default or whatever you might have changed it to.

James, in the installation document section 5.1Preparing to upgrade, step 5 mentions installation of ZenUP patch management tool which seems to belong to Zenoss Service Dynamics. Does this apply to Zenoss Core too ? Also step 6 requires installation of Zenoss dependencies repository. Do you know what is this for ?

ZenUP is close to released for core as I understand it, or maybe 4.2.4 was the release of it. Zenoss just needs redis as far as I know for dependencies...

Thanks for the pointer...

I found the RPM location and filename from the core-autodeploy.sh script and downloaded the RPM file manually, did rpm -Uvh rpmfile, and startet zenoss again. It auto-upgraded different things and everything looks ok.

We have some distributed collectors as well, using the same approach gives the following error:

Our collectors have been installed via the autodeploy script and then provisioned by the Distributed Collector zenpack... apparently this breaks something that the package needs to check.

Ah, I noticed that running zendmd on the remote collector failed because of some inconsistencies in the configuration, had to edit zodb_db_*.conf because hostname and password did not match my main zenoss install, after I changed this, upgrading did work out fine.
