Applies To
- Zenoss Resource Manager 4.2.4
- Zenoss Resource Manager 4.2.5
Summary
It is not possible to upgrade Zenoss Resource Manager from version 4.2.4 to version 4.2.5. RPS updates to Resource Manager 4.2.4 include code that is not compatible with Resource Manager version 4.2.5. This incompatibility can result in upgrade failures.
Procedure
There are two options to prevent upgrade failures:
- Continue to apply the latest RPS updates for 4.2.4 and remain at version 4.2.4
- Migrate to Zenoss Resource Manager 5.x (recommended)
This would have been nice to know back in October 2015
^^^What this guy said^^^ *Nods in emphatic agreement.*
So Zenoss, if an upgrade to 4.2.5 from 4.2.4 is not possible, does your recommendation "Migrate to Zenoss Resource Manager 5.x (recommended)" actually come with a migration/upgrade path from 4.2.x? Or is that also a complete rebuild as well?
From what I understand it's still a build from scratch process. They were supposed to be working on a solution to did a direct upgrade but not sure how far along they are.
