Hi, 

I am new and wanted to try out zenoss core in lab as standalone deployment. What is the right order to proceed with installation?

As i am trying to install zenoss on single VM of below configuration.

VM

1

Cores

4 CPU CORE

Mem (GB)

24 Main Memory

HDD (GB)

Purpose Size

1: Root (/) 30GB [xfs]

2: Swap 16GB

3: Temporary (/tmp) 16GB [xfs]

4: Docker data 50GB (mount point = none) [LVM thin pool]

5: Control Center internal services data 50GB (mount point = /opt/serviced/var/isvcs) [LVM]

6: Application data 200GB (mount = /var/log/serviced) [ LVM]

7: Application data backups 200 GB (Mount point: /opt/serviced/var/backups ) [xfs] [LVM thin pool

Confusion is, 

:should i install Control center first and later i need to install Resource manager?

:is it possible to do it on same single machine?  

:What are the prerequisites i must follow?

I tried zenosssupprot portal and document shared there, but nothing is straight. 

I am not interested in install script, rather want to set it up manually.

You should be able to install everything on your single box.  Control Center first, then Zenoss Core.

If you follow the documentation link from the right hand side of this forum home page then you should find install and install planning guides.  They seem to have given up on docs specifically for Core (the free version) but get the RM (Resource Manager) guides along with Control Center.

If you do just want to have a play with Zenoss first, again from the right-hand side of this forum, scroll down, and there are virtual machine OVAs available for Core 6.2.1.

Cheers,
Jane

Thanks Jane.

Alok---I recommend installing the OVA for 6.2.1 if possible. It makes the installation a lot easier. I haven't tried installing 6.2.1 piece by piece.

I would prefer rpm/tar to understand the dependencies.
