In the previous versions of Zenoss virtual appliances (2.0-2.5) i used the Rpath appliance agent to manage the static IP assignment for Zenoss, DNS settings, network time, Zenoss updates, and perform Zenoss backups. In the previos versions of Zenoss virtual appliances the url for the Rpath appliance ( https://ip:8003/rAA https://ip:8003/rAA ) was displayed in the in the command line console in VMPlayer or VMWare Workstation allong with the url for the Zenoss management interface. I lit off the 3.2 Zenoss virtual appliance today (new download not an upgrade) via VMWare Workstation and noticed the url was not listed for the Rpath appliance. I tried using the previous format ( https://ip:8003/rAA https://ip:8003/rAA) and was not able to connect to the appliance. I rebooted the virtual appliance several times, watched the boot process from the console, and did not see a service for Rpath listed. I am aware I can manage some of these task from the command line and others from the management console, but i did appreciate the centrallized management from the Rpath agent. If Rpath is no longer available, is there another managment interface that has taken its place?
Thank in advance
Bret
