I did a sudo service zenoss restart to verify the daemons were actually running.. and they all were.

Is there a config file that stores the IP address Because that did change between the P and the V.

Not sure why I didn't think of this yesterday.. but checking zenoss status I find the zenhub, zeneventd, zenactiond and zopectl are all not running.

I started attacking zenhub first, trying to manually start just it I get the following:

WARNING relstorage.adapters.mysql: UNable to connect: (2002, "Cant connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)")

You need to verify that MySQL is running and you can connect to it with the credentials listed in $ZENHOME/etc/globals.conf

Also restart rabbit to see if there are any errors!

As far as Mysql goes.. to checked to see if it was running

service mysql status
mysql stop/waiting

So i tried starting it

service mysql start
mysql start/running, process 4519

Then rechecked the status and it was back to stop/waiting. Tried a mysqladmin -u root -p status and got

error: cant connect to local mysql server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock' (111)

/var/log/mysql.log is empty too... Man I dont get what happened here. I mustve broke something during the P2V conversion.. Mysql is all messed up. After peeking into the /var/log/mysql/error.log It's full of errors.

I think Ill start over with a fresh install on a new VM, try restoring the backup I took three days ago on that install.

Not sure whats going on on this still.. but it seems that Mysql wasnt getting installed. I manually installed Mysql 5.5, then got a different error about the zodb not existing. So I created it, making sure that zenoss user had full perms, re-ran the .sh and now the error changed to "InnoDB: ROW_FORMAT_COMPRESSED requires Innodb_file_per_table"

Im still googling on this one.

Bicarbonate:
I _DO NOT RECOMMEND_ _EVER_ (enough emphasis) using the VMware image for production. I would suggest following the Install instructions found here: http://wiki.zenoss.org/Install_Zenoss
Note that this can absolutely be done in a VM, but it initially requires internet access to download/install.

You need to start fresh, and monitor the script install log to see what is "blowing up".
