testing zabbix appliance 1.8.4rc2

[richlv]

there have been quite some changes to zabbix appliance for 1.8.4 - including zabbix update itself, upgrade to opensuse 11.3 and so on

it would be nice if somebody had the time to try out latest version of appliance and report any problems found.

zabbix itself is not 1.8.4rc2 but a bit later version - more specifically, it should be 1.8 branch rev 15289

currently this version is available as vmware/vbox/kvm and - hooray - ovf formats
if any other formats are badly needed, they probably can be built as well, but so far it's kept down to minimum for space & time reasons.

unfortunately, suse studio does not yet allow versions like "1.8.4rc2", thus this one is versioned as 0.0.10

oh, yeah, actual download url... http://susegallery.com/a/MdKfmk/zabb...version=0.0.10

Keyboard doesn't get changed from boot F4-selection.
Still uses US keyboard.
I edited /etc/sysconfig/keyboard (changed KEYTABLE="us.map.gz"
to KEYTABLE="fi.map.gz"). Or you can say: "loadkeys -u fi.map".

Otherwise positively suprised with it.
Only after few hours of testing, thought.
But you can get a good feeling of it easily, without (necessarily) any "real"
environment.

hmm. if that is so, it's not zabbix specific thing, either suse or suse studio... i would expect that to be a known problem and on their bugzilla, though
