Zenoss ZenTech Community

I had a question, I've got Zenoss 5 installed. I really like the new version. The look and feel is nice, the docker deploy was pretty simple. I have a question though, I want to install the AWS zenpack, however when I go into the docker instance and try to install it thought the instructions it gives me an error connecting to the local database. Is there an updated procedure that I'm missing. I will post the error on instruction below. Thanks.

Error:

Great, that looks a lot better. However I'm now getting this error when I try the install. The sever is a RHEL 7.1 EC2 instance.

I figured out what the error was, I didn't setup the storage correctly. There needs to be at least two more drives added with 60GB one the first and 2GB on the second. These drives need to have two partitions each and the first two need to be over 15 GB for brtfs to work correctly it seems. Just in case someone else run into this. Thanks for the help again.

Please read latest installation guide (or use autodeploy script) - latest Zenoss v5.0.5 requires just one btrfs filesystem /opt/serviced/var/volumes. Doc: https://www.zenoss.com/resources/documentation

The person that installed our Zenoss 5 installation did not creat the btrfs mount for /opt/serviced/var/volumes. Now the commands to create ZenPacks fail with this error:

F1201 14:38:25.460065 33131 shell.go:227] Error committing container: 4ba649d246528163f74b623207c1436a27d803ae020df826d3e18e82f69d98a5 (could not create subvolume: /opt/serviced/var/volumes (unable to run cmd:[btrfs subvolume create /opt/serviced/var/volumes]  output:ERROR: '/opt/serviced/var/volumes' exists
error:exit status 1))

How do I fix this

Thanks in advance...
