Yes. You want to go from the same version of Zenoss VMWare to the same version native install. • Install the native install however you like, source, stack, RPM… • Install the same Zenpacks you had on the VMWare Appliance to the native install. • Do a ZenBackup on the VMWare Appliance. • Copy the resulting backup to your native install. • Use ZenRestore to put the data into the native install. At this point, you should be where you started, but on the native install. NOTE: If you want to migrate from a 32 bit to 64 bit platform, you will need to migrate your RRD files.
