[CentOS-virt] (KVM) How can I migrate VM in a non shared storage environment?
Hi, I have a server running CentOS 5.5 with KVM capabilities. I need to migrate all the VMs to another server with the exact same hardware specs. The problem is it is running on individual harddisks, not shared storage. What is the best way to migrate to minimise downtime? Thanks!

I often use rsync -a for remote systems or cp -a for local systems. I've also used dd. You can have dd output to stdout, pipe it to ssh and have ssh output to dd on the other end. You can also connect to a SAN device on the source and dd from the local block device to the SAN device. Lots of ways to do it ;) Cheers, C.J.

[CentOS-virt] KVM with bridge in one interface
Hi, I have only one ethernet port in a remote server. (eth0) I have a public address with x.x.x.164 netmask 255.255.255.240 gw x.x.x.161 and want to use in my guest OS the next available ip address (x.x.x.165 netmask 255.255.255.240 gw x.x.x.161) Is this posible with brctl to achieve this? I did a file called ifcfg-xenbr0 with: DEVICE=xenbr0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes then reboot, after that i use: # brctl addif xenbr0 eth0 I was connected to my remote server but problems begin when I assigned the x.x.x.165 ip addres to the guest OS with virt-manager to begin installation. I lost the remote connection. Maybe I miss something like this? : iptables -I FORWARD -m physdev –physdev-is-bridged -j ACCEPT to avoid loosing the connection ? i'm still receiving ping from x.x.x.165 but x.x.x.164 :( ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
Re: [CentOS-virt] (KVM) How can I migrate VM in a non shared storage environment?
This can be useful in some cases: http://www.bouncybouncy.net/ramblings/posts/xen_live_migration_without_shared_storage/ With the blocksync.py script on that page you can first make a copy of the block device while the VM is still running. Then shut down the VM and make another run only this time you only have to copy over the bits that have changed during the previous sync. Depending on HD/CPU/Net performance this can reduce the downtime a bit. Regards, Dennis On 06/24/2010 11:22 PM, C.J.

Googling for default route centos gives some interesting

nothing definitive.
route add default gw ${GATEWAYS_IP}
Our 2 nics are a wan(static) and lan(dhcp)
We set the default route for the wan, and when the dhcp lease expires and renews
it klobbers the default route with the lan's gateway.

[CentOS] Upgrading from 4.4 to 4.7
Hello all, For (system) certification purposes, we have to upgrade our 4.4 machines to 4.7. In the past I usually have just reinstalled machines to save the (perceived) headaches of upgrading. That is not an option in this case. Are there any pitfalls to watch out for when upgrading? Is it even possible to go up 3 revisions? Thanks, John -- Did you know that it costs forty thousand dollars a year to house each prisoner?...I don't think we should give free room and board to criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a treadmill and generate electricity. And if they don't want to run, they can rest in the chair that's hooked up to the generator. -George Carlin ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Why to 4.7? The current point release for CentOS 4 is 4.8. Going from
4.4 to 4.8 is trivial ('yum update' then 'shutdown -r now').

So there's definitly something fishy going on. This has been reported on over 20 machines, so I don't think it's faulty hardware we're seeing. Any thoughts, ideas on how to debug this ? Can you explain the network environment and the connectivity between the client and server some more. Clients are blade servers. The blade chassis have integrated cisco switches, which are plugged to a cisco 6509. The NFS server is on another site 40km away, directly connected to another 6509. These datacenters are linked via DWDM. Latency between a client and the NFS server is about half a millisecond. Jumbo frames are enabled. Blades have 1 Gb link The NFS server has multiple 1Gb links, used for different shares Neither are close to full utilization, maybe 100Mb/s of traffic and 20 000 paquets/s at the server end I have seen non-standard jumbo frames cause problems in the past. Can you try unmounting shares on one client, setting the MTU to 1500, re-mount the shares and see how it works? TCP between server and client will negotiate down to client's MSS so no need to change server's MTU. It doesn't seem to help. But we missed something during the first tests.. there are indeed some retransmits at the TCP level, on the server side. These go away when we set rsize to 32k. So ,probably a network issue we'll have to figure out. Thanks for your feedback, Alex ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

go. I know I will be doing this again in a month's time when they have 4.8

If you do this regularly, lagging well behind the repository, you might want to set up a repository mirror and keep snapshots at the points you expect to want later. I've always considered it a flaw in yum that it doesn't have an easy way to reproduce a known system state even though newer items have been added to the repositories - but even if it did, I don't think it would work across minor number revision upgrades the way the Centos repositories are handled. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The testing done is usually an upgrade from recent to next in the pre-release beta testing, and us likely to remain that way, because there is a cross-product explosion as successive point releases issue, and frankly, the upstream model is that the 'latest' is the mose secure (and hopefully exhibiting a durable ABI/API profile, with some noted exceptions mentioned in Release Notes) I would _suspect_ that there would no issues to bumping from an earlier 'point sub-version' directly to a later initially released 'base' of a later 'point' sub-version with CentOS as we do not back roll 'updates' into the 'base' image. Some other rebuilds do. As you are 'qualifying' a new sub-version level, this implies that you have a set of behaviours you are testing for on a deployment testing bench.

[CentOS] Bug in cfdisk?
Hi, I'm currently working through Sander Van Vugt's Beginning the Linux Command Line (Apress), just for fun. Right now I'm just trying out all the examples in chapter 5, dedicated to managing partitions and logical volumes. After some work with fdisk (which I normally use), the book introduces cfdisk (which I've been using in Slackware days). Curiously enough, CentOS' cfdisk doesn't seem to work. I'm experimenting with two USB sticks connected to an old NEC Powermate, which appear as /dev/sda resp. /dev/sdb. I can access them with fdisk OK and partition them any way I want. Except I can't seem to open them with cfdisk. When I try it, I get the following error message : ** FATAL ERROR: Cannot seek disk on drive Press any key to exit cfdisk ** Now I don't really mind about that error, since fdisk does anything I need. But I'm just wondering about why that happens. Any idea? Niki ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Why to 4.7? The current point release for CentOS 4 is 4.8. Going from
4.4 to 4.8 is trivial ('yum update' then 'shutdown -r now').

CentOS versions do track RHEL version numbers. CentOS n.m == RHEL n.m.
The only difference is mostly the 'flavor' of the eye candy: RHEL n.m
will have Red Hats (TM) showing up in various places and CentOS n.m
will have a different graphic in place of the Red Hats (TM). In other
places the words Red Hat have been replaced with CentOS. This is
just a replacement of tradmarked images and phrases. I think there are
a couple of non open-source packages included in RHEL n.m that are not
present in CentOS n.m (nothing essentual, just some extra 'goodies').

Re: [CentOS] HOWTO - Install HP PSP On CentOS 5
On another list I'm told there is a newer HP PSP version that comes with an installer so all this may be moot. Brandon, Check the itrc forum, the PSP Developer participated in a thread with myself and another user and cleared up a good chunk of info wrt the psp. Not only does the new installer provide some customizability but there are quite a few poorly documented notes with the psp and linux namely the very long lag between support for current kernels. I generally just install the relevant rpms in the correct order and skip the majority of the package as its not useful for me. Hpsum is now used, and in the 8.50 psp for Linux x64, there is an xml file called bp000793.xml, scroll to the very bottom and the select ion syntax should obvious. http://h2.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=encc=ustaskId=120prodSeriesId=3716246prodTypeId=18964objectID=c02136631 http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1277400343662+28353475threadId=1343632 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Using CentOS on commercial product.
Hello, I've sent this mail when I didn't subscribe this mailing list. Now I subscribe and I sent again. I'm sorry to bother you. Our company make and sell some measurement system controlled by PC. We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the PC currently. We are thinking CentOS is another option for us. There is no technical issue but we don't have enough information about license. We will do the following, 1) Install CentOS and our applications on the PC. 2) Sell the PC to our customer. 3) Distribute DVD made from CentOS iso image file to our customer. Question 1 Is there no problem from the view point of CentOS license? Question 2 Should we donate to CentOS community?

[CentOS] Using CentOS Live CD to recover trashed RHEL system
Hi, There's a RHEL5 system somewhere across the internet with a trashed root file system. I have VPN access to the subnet where it lives. But the system is not talking to the network. The current plan is having an onsite person boot from a CentOS Live CD, copy a small script to configure networking, set a password for the centos user, start sshd, and tweak the default firewall to allow incoming ssh connections, once I have remote access to the live cd environment I'll create a new lvm logical volume, create a file system, and restore from a level 0 dump taken from a lvm snapshot just before things broke. I'm pretty confident I have all of the above under control. The part I'm not certain about is the grub voodoo to get the system to boot to the lvm with the restored root file system. I'm not certain of the vintage of the restored root file system it was built from an old RHEL5 installation cd and last updated a year or so ago. I have a CentOS 5.5 live cd .iso image staged for the onsite person to burn. Are there differences in the boot process for CentOS/RHEL 5.x versions that I have to worry about. Would it be better to try to get a closer match between the root file system and the live cd vintages. At the moment I'm googling for info on the grub incantations for changing the root file system logical volume. Any comments suggestions would be appreciated.

No, you're simply booting to env that allows you to create a new FS, this might matter if the recovery env created an FS that was some revision ahead of what your dumped OS uses, but given the info you provided, I think you are fine, give'er and let us know... jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I have booted from a cd and am running CentOS, I'm assuming my active root file system is some sort of read/write ram disk overlaid on top of the read only file system from the cd. At the moment the right terminology to express this escapes me. I have the original system disk that is corrupted. It needs at least two partitions since the boot loader does not yet understand lvm. There is a tiny ext2/3 file system that contains /boot which contains the boot loader/grub stuff. I assuming we are talking about legacy grub not grub2. And there is a second partition containing an lvm PV and within that is a LV containing the root file system. I do have a level 0 dump of /boot in addition to the level 0 dump of / I can restore the contents of /boot and / but things will proabably not end up in the same physical sectors.

Actually as I try to explain my current understanding things are getting clearer. It seems to me that at least one more step is required. getting a proper chroot jail environment set up so I can run a grub command to update the boot sectors on the RHEL5 system disk to transfer control to the right place in /boot and update /boot so that it can mount the right filesystem on / I'm still hoping to find complete documentation with an example of how to do this. -- Drew Einhorn You can see a lot by just looking. -- Yogi Berra ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
