[CentOS-virt] Using the parallel port from domU
Hello I use xen and I am trying to use the parallel port of Centos 5.2 host from a Windows XP (HVM) guest.

[CentOS-virt] Xen, Qemu and Intel VT
Hi everyone, I need to use full virtualization on my laptop, running CentOS 5.2 as host. I installed all I think is needed to run Xen. I am using kernel 2.6.18-128el5.xen as it is needed to recognize my wifi card. I was not sure my cpu supported Intel VT. A cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags yields this: flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm I guess vmx means VT is supported even if, for my T9600 cpu, it is not officially stated on Intel website (it is up to T9400). VT is enabled in the BIos. When I try to add a virtual machine with virt-manager choosing Xen as hypervisor, the enable kernel/hardware acceleration checkbox is grayed out. How can I solve this? Moreover, if I run CentOS on a non-Xen kernel (i.e.: 2.6.18-128el5) I cannot use xen of course, but if I choose Qemu as hypervisor in virt-manager, the checkbox is available. How can it be? Thank you very much for your help, N. ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

En ese caso no queda mas remedio que compilar nuestro propio binario, pero como te sugiere Epe, en vez de bajar el tgz es preferible bajarse el src.rpm y hacerlo a partir de ahi. En principio es mas tedioso, pues tienes que leerte la pagina man y la documentacion para crear una rpm, pero a la larga es tiempo que ahorras. Por un lado el binario que instalas de esa manera, queda dentro del registro de las rpm instaladas con lo que si luego vas a instalar un paquete que pudiera tener conflicto con ese, ya te avisa automaticamente. Puedes actualizarlo/eliminarlo mediante el comando rpm. Y un detalle importante, cada sistema tiene sus peculiariadades. Cuando descargas un fichero src.rpm, el codigo fuente esta modificado para que compile en tu sistema, no asi necesariamente el codigo del tgz que bajastes del sitio original. El autor del tgz pudiera haber utilizado un compilador u opciones no presentes en CentOS, que sin embargo, el src.rpm ya las tiene corregidas o al menos declaradas como dependencias que te muestra instalar (o el propio rpmbuild).

I've been buying from the Smart-UPS and Back-UPS range. Those should be ok, shouldn't they? That depends on how important it is to never fail. If it is extremely important, you might want something with redundant components like the Symmetra line. These are designed to keep working with some failed components and to allow you to replace parts with the equipment on bypass but still running. All in all about a handfull of them. They're quite pricey... 90% of them suffered some kind of a circuit board failure. Not what you'd usually expect from a UPS, rather you'd expect the battery to give up first. I bought them over a few years, so it shouldn't be a bad batch or something like that.

Sometimes, the number of colors is updated, but *never* the Resolution. Below is my xorg.conf file. What do I need to include in xorg.conf for the resolution to be 1280 x 1024 instead of the current 1600 x 1200? Display is a Dell M991 and the Video Card is shown as Nvidia NV11 (GeForce2 MX/MX400). CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) fully updated. TIA! The nv driver is not very good. From your writeup, it is not apparent if you ever get the resolution you want. If it never works, I suspect you are up against the limitations of nv itself. On my systems, it is really really limited, plus there is no 3D support. If you are willing to use the proprietary (but free of cost) Nvidia driver (http://www.nvidia.com), you will likely be happier. It includes a GUI settings thing called nvidia-settings and it also supports xrandr. The nvidia driver has a long README file and in my experience it is one of the better manuals for no-cost software. I have *not* found an up to date RPM for the nvidia driver for Centos, and so it appears to me the only feasible route is to run the script installer on www.nvidia.com. That's bad because it steps on some files you might want back later. One main purpose of rpm.livna.org was to keep up to date on the rpms for nvidia, but it appears to me that the transition to the rpmfusion network has let some things fall through. Last I checked, rpmfusion was a few editions behind on the nvidia driver, even for Fedora linux, and they were never very interested in helping Centos/RedHat. (I keep thinking I built an nvidia RPM myself, but I can't find it today). However you install it, that nvidia comes with a program 'nvidia-settings' and that helps quite a bit to see what you are up against. It is like system-config-display, sorta, except that it does not look like crap and it actually lets you see settings and information on the system. I've not had the trouble you report that system-config-display refuses to do anything while logged in, incidentally, but that is pretty easy to fix. You can google for boot into runlevel 3 or other ways of getting to a virtual terminal after turning off the X display (in the old days, it was /sbin/telinit 3 as root would close X entirely. Maybe Alt-Control-F2 (any F1 through F7 is OK on Centos). You may not need to do any fancy customization to get nvidia to work. Just change the xorg.conf to replace nv with nvidia. nvidia requires a kernel module, and that has to be rebuilt when the kernel is updated. On the Fedora systems here, I think the dkms framework is used to automatically build that kernel module when a new kernel starts. Right now I'm using an Ubuntu machine (because RedHat/Centos lag too far behind the software curve for me to do my development work), but i believe the xorg.conf I'm attaching would work on a Centos system that has the nvidia driver. I want a resolution of 1400x1050, which I can get with the windows nvidia driver on the same laptop, so I know it is possible. However, that mode is lacking from the linux side. So it is necessary for me to stop the card from guessing EDID frequencies of the laptop display, and I have to create modelines that allow the card to show the resolution I want. If you keep fiddling with settings and you find your resolution is always stuck where you do not want it, then it means that your video card is looking at the EDID frequencies of your display and refusing to send the signal you want. Sorry, didn't mean to start writing a book. I've wrestled with these so long that it is starting to seem like i should make a career out of it. pj # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section ServerLayout Identifier single head configuration Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout us EndSection Section Device Identifier Videocard0 Driver nv EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Videocard0 DefaultDepth 16 SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes1600x1200 1600x1024 1440x900 1400x1050 1280x1024 1280x1024 1280x960 1280x960 1280x800 1280x800 1152x864 1152x864 1152x768 1152x768 1024x768 1024x768 800x600 800x600 640x480 640x480 EndSubSection EndSection

We are retaining control of our network, and mail server and relaying all outbound mail out this new connection. Incoming mail will transfer as normal from all sources except from this private network which could have confidential patient records, and it needs to come in this new connection from an authenticated mail server to my box. If this is just for mail, why not run another instance of sendmail to accept and forward between connections so you get logging and a little more control of what is forwarded? If you want fairly complete control you can run something like MimeDefang as a milter and examine it any way you want before accepting. You could run this instance on a different host or bind it to a different IP address and/or port and perhaps require an ssl connection with authentication to connect. - At one facility I work at we have two Exchange servers. One of them is on site and the other is remote hosted. On site mail server accepts ssl and authenticated connections from subnet A and B (two separate facilities). Actually subnet B is wireless then forwards smtp to remote server. Both servers sync with smtp and POP3. Basically the onsite server is a exchange archive server. Your better off setting up another sendmail server for fowarding and connection handling than going through you Elbow to get to your A$$ if you get what I mean. I tried that route your trying to do. The reason why they give you only info on Exchange is because it is more reconized in healthcare settings than an open source mail server. Novell would be next up on the list.

Yes - the one thing to watch out for is the possibility of forwarding to addresses that don't really exist, especially if there is any chance that this server can you can get hit with spam or anything generated by viruses. In this case you'll accept the message and forward it on to another host that will have to generate a bounce message and try to return it, probably also to an undeliverable address. If you have LDAP in the picture you can probably use it as the 'local user' lookup before accepting. Otherwise you might use sendmail's virtuser table to map the legal address to the forwarder so you can quickly reject anything else. Or with MimeDefang you can verify that the destination address will be accepted via SMTP before accepting for forwarding. I guess what I really need is a Cisco 515 router.

Powerware and APC are the two biggest and most wellknown UPS-manufacturers I know of. APC does make a full line of units. Perhaps you aren't buying the right ones if they aren't serving you well. I've been buying from the Smart-UPS and Back-UPS range. Those should be ok, shouldn't they? That depends on how important it is to never fail. If it is extremely important, you might want something with redundant components like the Symmetra line. These are designed to keep working with some failed components and to allow you to replace parts with the equipment on bypass but still running. All in all about a handfull of them. They're quite pricey... 90% of them suffered some kind of a circuit board failure. Not what you'd usually expect from a UPS, rather you'd expect the battery to give up first. I bought them over a few years, so it shouldn't be a bad batch or something like that. You might blame one or two on bad components, but this sounds like something is wrong with the input power at your location. I assume they are lasting at least through the 2 year warranty period. We have at least a few dozen of them and haven't noticed any pattern of problems other than aging batteries. Are you tracking the in/out power levels on the smart units to see what they have to deal with? I will vouch for the reliability of power continuity with the Symmetra line. They can be configured from 2kva up to about 16kva and have almost complete redundancy. I have 35 Symmetra RM and LX single phase units protecting network closets and labs. I have never lost a load in the five or so years I've been running them. Components do fail, especially the batteries (we always hope for five years, but 3-4 years life is not uncommon...the nature of the VRLA beast). However, my experience with APC is that I've never worked with a better tech support operation. This is my own opinion based on my experience. I have no financial interest other than to protect my networks from the cost of outages. BTW these APCs replaced banks of Best Power FERRUPSes. That technology is no longer relevant in an environment that demands hot-swapability with no down time.

Re: [CentOS] Emergency rescue help needed
I've always felt UPS's should be in pairs, one for each side of each server's redundant PSUs. that way you can take one UPS offline entirely for service, whatever, and the systems can continue to be protected by the other UPS via their 2nd PSU. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Linux HA or Heartbeat IP address question
Hi all, I am following the guide on HowToForge to get Heartbeat going for two Apache web servers (http://www.howtoforge.com/high_availability_heartbeat_centos), a quick question for anyone who might have a similar setup. Do I have to assign the service IP to either of the NICs or does Heartbeat do that automagically?

Do I have to assign the service IP to either of the NICs or does Heartbeat do that automagically? Heartbeat does it for you - basically, Heartbeat for apache can be setup in less than 5 minutes. It's no more complicated than the link you posted. Each box has its own address, then there's the VIP. To get a little more advanced, you could configure a private link between them with a crossover cable and monitor that in heartbeat if you wanted to, but it's not required. Also, I'd turn off auto_failback... but that's just me. Some notes: 1. Disable apache from automatic startup via: chkconfig httpd off 2. Enable heartbeat to startup automatically via: chkconfig heartbeat on 3. Consider using the aforementioned private link, as the broadcast traffic can be maddening on a busy segment. 4. Consider using a private vlan rather than a crossover cable. If a crossover cable, or either side of a private link dies, and you've got STONITH enabled, both nodes can, under certain circumstances, kill each other. 5. Consider installing mon as well to monitor the cluster. 6. auto_failback means that that if you default to node01, then node01 fails, as soon as its back up, it'll fail back to node01. That can be good, but it can also be very bad... think of the case of using Heartbeat with mysql, and ask yourself how often you want to fail over a live database cluster. ;) Have fun! -I ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

So not only do I need mail and LDAP, but I need ssl and authentication and certificates. I do have another box here that I had planned on using for the forwarding taks, I suppose that I could set it up to accept mail and forward to the main server. The main server could still use the smtp smarthost as the outbound default mailer and go out the second server's connection? I guess what I really need is a Cisco 515 router. I should have thought of that a while ago. I am just currious here. Your up to about 2 or 3 mail servers correct? That is for handling 2 different subnets or domains? Lets say domains. Ok? Add on top of that a POP3 or IMAP servers. Now your up to adding in LDAP for user management, slapping in a Cisco PIX 500 Series. How many total users do you need to support? That we don't know. To be completely honest I think your just creating a big mess to keep up with and manage. That is way to much Administration Overhead to put up with in my opinion. I think that your best solution outcome to this is to use Exchange Server 2007. Scalix can't top what your wanting to do or need to do either. Exchange is fully HIPPA and SOX Compliant. You can do with one exchange server what your trying to get accomplished with 3 sendmail servers. You have right there mail, mail archiving, search by date and name, mail retention policies and backup. If the company gets hit up with a E Discovery for Email pertaining to certain keywords you will have the ability to do so on site with exchange. That happens quit often at times. All of this is now the default standard in Exchange. The big drawback is the cost (per user). A wild guess is $10.00 per user account. Active Directory (ldap) can even run on top of exchange. Also the databases can reside on a SAN now also. I am an open source person but when it comes to something like that I hate to say it but Exchange has it covered. What's others opinions? How would you do it? I'm currious to know how you would do this in an environment that has many compliance problems. Mainly issues of privacy rights not being violated.
