[CentOS-virt] Backing up a running KVM guest
Hello This new HowTo explains how to backup a VM without powering it down. It's specifically aimed at KVM although it may work with any virtualization software that uses Linux as the host. Please review it and let me know what you think, particularly if you are already doing something similar yourself, or would like to. Do you have answers to any of the questions in the 'Questions' section? It has not been released yet and it's a first draft, so break it to me gently... http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupKVMGuest (The article's internal Wiki links are broken - not sure what's going on there, but ignore that) A taster... 1. Introduction This article explains how to backup a virtual hard disk to a remote location, even while it is use. One advantage of running software in a virtual machine is that the entire disk can be backed up in one go, including Operating System, software, configuration files, registry, permissions, data and all. Re-establishing a system after a failure is therefore quicker and more reliable than re-installing software and restoring data. The method employs LVM to take a snapshot of the guest disk and then uses rsync to update changes to a previous backup on a remote server. If there is a database server on the guest then it is flushed locked at the point the snapshot is taken. This method came into use around 2008 following wider availability and awareness of virtualization software, cheaper faster network bandwidth, and cheaper bigger disks. ...

One other alternative, with drbd: 1) break sync on other node 2) backup on other node 3) resync other node Of course, drbd may not be best suited for disk intensive uses but your milleage may vary... Rui drdb - If I understand right, this is another way to take a snapshot - similar to taking one disk out of a RAID1, backing it up then rebuilding the RAID. The LVM snapshot requires space and degrades performance during the backup and your method suffers neither of those disadvantages.

[CentOS-es] Intregracion Samba PDC con win2k3 AD
Saludos lista , Tengo un Centos 5.2 con samba pdc . las estaciones clientes estan ingresadas o metidas en el domino de samba ( son miembros de un dominio ). ok. Y estan validando contra smbpasswd o tdbsam en ese mismo Centos 5.2 con samba. hasta ahi todo funciona bien. Ahora bien , como podria hacer para que el Centos 5.2 con samba pdc NO consulte los usuarios en ese archivo local ( smbpasswd ) sino que consulte los usuarios en un windows 2003 server AD . Las estaciones cliente seguirian miembros de el domino samba, cargando sus directorios /home pero validando contra el win server 2003 AD. Con winbind y kerberos he logrado que las estaciones cliente que consultan al Centos 5.2 con samba pdc, trabajen pero como miembros de grupo de trabajo , no trabajan como miembros de dominio del samba . que es lo que necesito. El samba-winbind me esta validadndo en el win server 2003 AD , puesto que desde las estaciones win xp , al mirar las carpetas del servidor samba centos 5.2 pide login y passwd. pero estoy como miembro de un grupo de trabajo. sino ne se puede con winbind se podra con ldap ? como le hago ?

Lo mas sencillo q podrias hacer para q conversen esos servers y sus users es crear mas bien relaciones de confianza entre ambos dominios, asi podras compartir recursos entre ambos.

[CentOS] looking for some advice to monitor network usage in office
Hi all, I've been asked by a college to setup a monitor to monitor a Windows network, but on internet usage. They want to have detailed usage, i.e. on a per IP / PC basis, and if possible to get stats for every protocol, and see over a period of time what goes on. My first though wat ntop, which does all of this, but it doesn't save the data in a DB, so if the server reboots the stats are reset to 0. I also can't get Cacti to give me stats per IP per protocol (unless someone knows how todo this). I don't yet know the full network layout, but I have a feeling they're using ADSL, and have a Windows Small Business server with ISA, and possible Exchange as well. So, I'm either going to put a CentOS box between the Windows box ADSL router, or maybe even setup a CentOS Vmware Virtual PC, force all the network to route via the VPS. Does anyone have some suggestions / experience in setting up something like this? P.S. Please don't look at the fact that there's Windows on the network.

That way the proxy/firewall can log all the activity and then you use a reporting program to report on the log data. Squid can log all kinds of data, so can iptables. Couple that with NTLM/basic authentication on the squid host and you can put names with ip addresses. The authentication can be transparent so if the user is logged on the network they auto-authenticate with the proxy. -Ross ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

SNMP normally reports traffic per interface. If you can get by with a historical total/max bandwidth report, point cacti or other SNMP tool at the switch ports facing the users. Then use ntop for snapshots of protocol usage.

As long as you have a manged switch behind the internet router you should be able to set up a mirror (monitor) port to feed a copy to an interface running ntop without actually routing through the Linux box.

Rudi Ahlers wrote: Hi all, I've been asked by a college to setup a monitor to monitor a Windows network, but on internet usage. They want to have detailed usage, i.e. on a per IP / PC basis, and if possible to get stats for every protocol, and see over a period of time what goes on. My first though wat ntop, which does all of this, but it doesn't save the data in a DB, so if the server reboots the stats are reset to 0. I also can't get Cacti to give me stats per IP per protocol (unless someone knows how todo this). I don't yet know the full network layout, but I have a feeling they're using ADSL, and have a Windows Small Business server with ISA, and possible Exchange as well. So, I'm either going to put a CentOS box between the Windows box ADSL router, or maybe even setup a CentOS Vmware Virtual PC, force all the network to route via the VPS. Does anyone have some suggestions / experience in setting up something like this? P.S. Please don't look at the fact that there's Windows on the network. I use Linux for business purposes, not as a hobby, and we also use Mac Windows where the situation calls for it. Just to add my .02, depending on the traffic level, you may do better with a pre-packaged distro like Endian which provides transparent proxy and reporting. The community edition (what I'm using) sets up very easily and pretty much works out of the box. For our mixed OS network of about 40 workstations, this serves very nicely and does pretty much what you're asking. The only thing I did to the stock install was to have the logs ftp'd to me for archiving so they don't get rotated out of existence during the normal system rotation schedule.

Re: [CentOS] Looking for a list of default services to disable in centos 5
I am looking for a list of services that you disable by default on your server. what kind of server? smtp server? pop/imap server? proxy server? web server? ftp server? logging server? voip gateway? firewall? rpm build box? swipe card reader server? development/source repo server? LDAP, NFS? or are you looking for a set of things that we disable by default on all servers? At which point I question your choice of removing sendmail (unless you're replacing it with something like exim or postfix) because most servers need to send mail, even if it's just to alert you when a cron job has barfed. personally I disable, or don't install SE Linux, Network Manager (with extreme prejudice), and anything to do with wireless/bluetooth, and X on every single server. From there it depends on what the server is doing. We've got a Kickstart server and boot off USB sticks and CDs that allow us to pick generic build types off a menu (eg; web server, smtp server, mail storage server, etc). The kickstart config just pulls down the packages we want, a few scripts get run doing various things like updating all packages, setting up our distributed config system, installing custom packages, and so on. However, I don't see the usefulness in seeing what other people disable. Everybody has different networks, different requirements, and does different things on their boxes. What you should be doing is looking at *your* servers and itemising what they do. Then remove all packages that are not needed to provide those services. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923www.knossos.net.nz signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] ISPConfig local administration
Hi list, I recently installed a package for Centos5.2 called ISPConfig. This was recommended by a buddy of mine who hosts a number of websites for various clients. Although I don't host any websites except my own, there were some features in the package that I did like the looks of. Well, today, I needed to add a new user and group, so while the machine was sitting here, I attempted to use the gui to adduser. For some reason, the process hung and never did come up. I called my buddy about that and he told me we ran through that same scenario with his machine some time back, but I had forgotten about it. The processes were shown in a ps ax as being ready to run, but again, nothing appeared on the monitor. I suspect the ispconfig somehow disables some of, if not all the built in adminstrative functions of the Centos gui, but hoped someone could prove / disprove this fact. It's rather irritating to go thru a manual user creation for me, as cli is not my strong point under Centos. I wound up using webmin to create the user and set the group for the gempak user, and then manually edited the list of allowed users in the gempak group. One thing of note, and not sure it even matters, but I got some messages like this... Resolved address xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory to a read-only configuration source at position 0. Then, it wrote out the same thing for position 1 and position 2, with then a warning that python-dbus not installed. I do know there apparently is a difference in python-dbus and dbus-python.

[CentOS] live audio feed via telephone link
I'm looking into costs and feasibility of moving a live feed from a FM radio station from the station to a point that's past the usable range of their radio signal. It's a rural location and Internet service is not available at the station. If the destination was closer or their transmitter was more powerful, I could avoid this step and just plug in a radio, but My best idea so far is to rent a dedicated phone line from the station to the point where we need the feed, then get some kind of on-the-fly audio compressor to hook up to the main board in the station, push it out over the phone line, then decompress it at the destination. I'm pretty sure there is dedicated hardware to do the compression/decompression (whatever they use to do those radio remotes from Sally's Sofa Sales without sounding like they are broadcasting from the bottom of a rain barrel) and I'm currently looking into that angle too, but I'm wondering if it would be cheaper/easier/better to have something running on Linux at both ends of the connection to handle the audio compression/decompression. Especially since I'm planning to run a Centos server at the destination end for other aspects of this project if we proceed with it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Monitoring IP masquerading on LVS load-balancing
Quoting David Dyer-Bennet d...@dd-b.net: I've got small numbers of connections moving through a load balancer configured in NAT mode. So I've got an iptables table called nat, which has in it a line -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE (lan connect is eth0, private lan inside the cluster is eth1). The load balancer is working; connections made to the virtual ip on that host do get routed to one of the real servers behind this load load balancer. But I want to observe the connections on the load balancer. My first attempt was to use netstat with the --masquerade switch. This produced the result netstat: no support for `ip_masquerade' on this system. Consistent with this, there is no /proc/net/ip_masquerade. On the other hand, the load balancer *IS* working; those connections *are* getting NATted and routed. Also, lsmod shows varous relevant modules loaded: iptable_nat40773 1 ip_nat 53101 2 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat ip_conntrack 91237 5 xt_state,ip_conntrack_netbios_ns,ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,ip_nat nfnetlink 40457 2 ip_nat,ip_conntrack ip_tables 55329 2 iptable_filter,iptable_nat x_tables 50377 7 xt_state,ipt_REJECT,xt_tcpudp,ipt_MASQUERADE,xt_multiport,iptable_nat,ip_tables So, netstat just isn't somehow the right monitoring tool, right? So what is the right monitoring tool? I need to know the source IP and real-server IP of connections being handled by the load balancer. I don't need a lot showing exactly how each one was handled, but I'd like to be able to determine the state of any connection currently active. How can I do this? ipvsadm -L -c -n should do the trick. Also, you shouldn't need that MASQ rule unless you need to MASQ traffic originating from inside your private network. LVS handles all LVS related NATing. Be careful .. you must use the lower case 'c' in this command as the uppercase 'C' will CLEAR your ipvs table and break things. Hope this helps.

If a movement like CentOS is going to survive it's going to have to grow and the only way it can grow is by solicitating donations then depending on the offered ones it recieves now. Do I smell a special interest group http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup here? Or another mailing list or IRC channel? If Ross is correct, and I hope he is correct, that Google, Amazon, large ISPs, etc., would donate $, wow. If they are using CentOS and they only contributed USD$1 for each server, imagine how much $ that would be for the CentOS project. :-) Obviously, more than one dollar per server is the goal. You would be surprised at how many vendors are using CentOS right now for large commercial endeavors and even commercial software packages (Citrix Xen). There is a phenominal need for an enterprise OS with long term support, but void of messy licensing and royalty fees striped of all intellectual property, and if these companies are using CentOS to fulfill that need then they have a vested interest to make sure it succeeds now and for the foreseeable future. To this end it would cetainly not be rude to ask these companies for appropriately sized donations to make sure CentOS keeps going strong, completely voluntary of course, anonymously if preferred, otherwise they can be prominantly listed as a valued supporter. Just before any of that happens some ground work, as Ralph pointed out, needs to be established. I think CentOS should be registered as a non-profit both in America/ Canada and in the European Union. Call it CentOS.org NA and CentOS.org EU. Maybe there is an attorney on the list that would like to donate some pro-bono work in putting together applications for each in return for a tax write-off (applicable when filing for 2009 of course!). -Ross ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] CentOS won't shutdown ... or do anything else
I started to have problems similar to ones described in the past on
this list but could not find any kind of resolution. I did an
lsmod, a mount command, and for fun, did an strace on shutdown to
see where it is hanging, and an ltrace as well.
Any thoughts?

Re: [CentOS] live audio feed via telephone link
Frank Cox wrote: I'm looking into costs and feasibility of moving a live feed from a FM radio station from the station to a point that's past the usable range of their radio signal. It's a rural location and Internet service is not available at the station. If the destination was closer or their transmitter was more powerful, I could avoid this step and just plug in a radio, but My best idea so far is to rent a dedicated phone line from the station to the point where we need the feed, then get some kind of on-the-fly audio compressor to hook up to the main board in the station, push it out over the phone line, then decompress it at the destination. I'm pretty sure there is dedicated hardware to do the compression/decompression (whatever they use to do those radio remotes from Sally's Sofa Sales without sounding like they are broadcasting from the bottom of a rain barrel) and I'm currently looking into that angle too, but I'm wondering if it would be cheaper/easier/better to have something running on Linux at both ends of the connection to handle the audio compression/decompression. Especially since I'm planning to run a Centos server at the destination end for other aspects of this project if we proceed with it. Can't you find a place that has both radio reception and internet service to park something like shoutcast?

People need to be reminded that these services are only available through their kind contributions. Also some organizations need an actual governing body to donate to, an organization that is recognized as a non-profit institution by the local government so they can get a tax deduction.

I don't think it's available there. Even the next-nearest town has only dial-up Internet. The nearest location that has real dedicated Internet service available at all is the location that I'm looking to move the signal out to. Or look into a microwave or satellite link. As always, cost is THE factor. I have no idea how much a 24-hour satellite link would cost but I suspect it might be more than a phone line. Based on my (very limited) experience with tv satellite dishes around here, they don't seem to perform very well when it's -50 degrees outside and blowing snow. Some years back I had to go out and try to beat ice off of a dish a few times in those conditions and didn't really enjoy it all that much. I don't think you will be able to compress a radio signal enough to fit over a dial line without a lot of loss. You would need several lines multiplexed together for a decent sounding broadcast. Well, that's what I'm looking into. I remember listening to streaming audio over a 14.4 modem way-back-when which wasn't great quality but modems have gotten a lot faster than that since, too. I don't know enough about it (yet) to be aware of exactly what can be accomplished. There are many point to point links that will cover 40 miles (65 km). I don't know how far you have to go. That's another thought. The station's antenna is on top of a hill but for protection from the elements and whatnot, the studio is down in a valley (i.e. a hole). They currently use a microwave link to send the signal up the hill from the studio, so I'm not sure how feasible that would be to get a point-to-point solution going, but it's worth looking into. Do you have any recommendations for hardware that might work? I just checked, and Google Maps tells me that the distance is 52.3km. I've been talking to the station manager for quite a while about doing something to get their signal online, but the stumbling block has always been how to get the signal out where you can get an Internet connection. I just had this dedicated phone line idea last week; if it (or something else) will work, then I'll be able to provide him with a set of costs that he can take to his board of directors, and we'll see what happens after that. The phone company is working on a proposal for me so I'm now trying to get the rest of it figured out. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
