Installing Zabbix to Custom Partition

[delawless]

I'm currently working on installing zabbix in our RHEL 7 DEV VM environment. I've allocated an application partition for 500gb of disk space. It turns out the VM build only has 4gb of /usr partition where it seems that zabbix wants to be installed.

From either the repository via yum or from rpms, is there a way to ensure that zabbix gets installed on my application partition instead of the /usr partition, or should I request the SAs to move some disk space around (if that is even possible)?

Second question:

Is there a published guide somewhere on configuring Zabbix to use an remote Oracle database (cluster) vs mysql?

4gb is enough for the application to be in /usr (My zabbix-server+frontend with CentOS installs use only 20Gb disk for whole system), you're gonna want the high disk space to the database in a second machine (Quick Tip: Use SSD).

Comparisons? Never saw any, but you can look at this vídeo for some guidance on choosing a backend database: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LOyNqRmwZs
