Has anyone had any luck getting Zenoss Core 6.2.1 running using the Zenoss Deployment tool at https://github.com/sergevs/ansible-serviced-zenoss? I've created a CentOS 7.6 VM with 4 CPUs and 12GB RAM. This is for dev purposes, so supposedly I can get by with lower requirements. 100GB LUN for the root volume group, a blank 100GB LUN for the pools. I installed all the prerequisites, got ansible running. Added entries for zcore, zcore5, zcore5.zenoss.zenoss, zcore6 and zcore6.zenoss.zenoss to /etc/hosts (the playbook still references zcore5). I run the playbook and everything seems to go ok until it tries to start zenoss, then spluh. After it bombs out I've checked and docker is running, but no zenoss (of course). Log of the ansible session is attached, if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. I've got a snapshot just before I run the playbook, so it's easy to revert and start over.

I did FINALLY find the documentation for Core 6.2.1 thanks to a post from Arthur with this link: https://help.zenoss.com/zsd/archive/community-edition-core/community-edition-core-6-2-x. Many thanks, Arthur, and I'll try the manual install tomorrow, but I'd really like to understand what's going on with the deployment tool.

Many thanks, everyone! Chris

See if firewall is running I fought with this for awhile and finally just disabled it since it's dev for me as well right now.
Finally got it installed and looking to login for the first time now.

I think the word I'm looking for is "D'oh!" Thanks Matt, firewall was the problem. Could have sworn I checked that, but I guess not. Up and running like a champ.
