 I have the P822.  It has no JBOD or RAID 0.  hpacucli works with
 CentOS 7.0, but is broken on 7.1 -- it cannot find the controller.

My last resort might be to use one of the other controller cards, maybe
single-path the existing one, until the budget opens up

It's "enterprise" grade, where the two reds are "NAS-ready". In either
case, the TLER should be 7 sec, so it should work. The ones to watch out
for are the desktop grade, like the green (bleah!!!), which have a TLER of
something like 2 MINUTES. That will *not* work in a server

um, the Re are not Reds, they are enterprise grade, as is the Se but at

No. I'm the one who got the quote and set up the order for my managers,
and I know what it's got: the ethernet connection is to the internal
webserver to manage the RAID. the 712S I have is dual-path SAS for data.

Sorry, it's got a PERC 400, a PERC 800 (I think - lspci shows both as a
MegaRAID 2108/Liberator - I'm remembering from the reboot the other day),
*and* an HP 800.

[CentOS] Software RAID1 Drives

I have 3 4TB WD drives I want to put in a RAID1 array.

Two WD4000FYYZ

and

One WD4000F9YZ

All enterprise class but two are WD Re and one is WD Se.  I ordered
the first two thinking 2 drives in the raid array would be sufficient
but later decided its a long drive to the server so I would rather
have 3 drives and ordered a third in accidentally did not get EXACT

then yeah, you'll need a plain SAS2 external HBA card.   If your server

It's an old box, a DL580 G5. And we didn't get the card with the RAID. I
suppose I can single path each RAID from the PERC H800, until budgets open

The problem might be a bug.  Ask the openvswitch people.

It looks like the problem is probably:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ovs calls "systemctl start
openvswitch-nonetwork.service"
openvswitch-nonetwork.service "Wants" openvswitch.service
openvswitch.service is "After" network.target
network.target is the one that called ifup-ovs

So there's a deadlock.

At least, that's the best I can figure from looking at it briefly.


Thanks Gordon. I think the same: it is a bug (another one with systemd).

I will do what I am thinking previously: I will start openvswitches from 
libvirtd and I will see how it goes.

[CentOS] OpenLDAP on Centos/RHEL 6 still without openssl support?

[Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator]

Hi,

I heard that the RHEL/Centos rpm packages of OpenLDAP 2.4 should support
openssl and file pathes to the certs/keys in the online config too.

But from the RHEL Documentation it is stated, that still ONLY Mozilla
NSS DB Files are supported.

Can anyone comment on that? Is that true?

[CentOS] problem on exceptional quit

[Hua Wang]

Dear Centos Users:

I installed Centos 7 on my server a few months ago. While using ssh, there is 
always a strange message "Write failed: Broken pipe”. It forces quit of SSH. 
It’s really annoying as it happens very often with irregular time interval - 
from a couple of minutes to a few hours. I have been working using Linux (Red 
Hat, Fedora and Centos) over 15 years. This didn’t happen for me even under 
centos 6.6. I have tried the following approaches, but none of them can help. I 
wonder if it can be solved by reinstall the system again. But it’s time 
consuming to reinstall a lot of softwares.

1. Login via Mac, Windows, Linux systems from different computers.
2. Modify sshd_config on the server as suggested by many posts:
TCPKeepAlive yes
ClientAliveInterval 60
3. Modify ~/.ssh/config file on my local computer:
Host *
ServerAliveInterval 60
4. Login ssh using -Y instead of -X.
5. add ‘unset autologout’ in my .cshrc.
6. I checked IP address with the internet administrator, and it works well.
7. add a file named autologout.csh with ‘set autologout=0’.

Do you know a good solution? Thanks!

Cheers,

Hua

Re: [CentOS] problem on exceptional quit

[Hua Wang]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your prompt reply. The server is in my office. Because I tried a few 
computers, so it shouldn’t be a problem of Internet connection of the clients. 
I tried to ping the server, and it can accept all data. Is there a good way to 
check it? 

It always worked well for centos 6.6 using the same server and the same 
internet connections (IP, cable etc). The problem came out while reinstalling 
centos 7.7. I suspect it’s still a problem of system instead of network.

Cheers,

Hua

It sounds like the network connection between you and the server is dying for 
some reason.

That being the case you probably can't fix it yourself if it's a remote server.

You may need to get a better Internet connection on one or both ends.

Since you're apparently using some kind of an unofficial or non-standard 
version of Centos, you might want to try using a current (regular) one instead.

Yes, I tried ssh -vvv. It gave a lot of information while login, but it quit 
without any further information except for “write failed, broken pipe’.

We have moved it into place here, which is where it is going to live
permanently:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/i386/

I am working on a wiki page now and we are still doing some testing, but
the 32 bit arch should be completely usable right now and installable
(in its final form) from these isos:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/i386/

The 2 bugs listed in the link above are still there:

1.  If installing on a QEMU (kvm) i386 VM, you must modify the VM cpu to
use "copy host cpu"

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8748

2.  The gnome desktop will not exit or log out from the menu.

 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8834

Both have workarounds listed.

We should have a release announcement fairly soon and hopefully EPEL
will start building 32 bit packages soon(ish) as well.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

BTW, I have tried to get a dconf config file working to fix this issue
(trying to automatically replicate:

gsettings set org.gnome.SessionManager logout-prompt false

But I can not get it working.  If someone can get a good dconf working
(or figure out the actual issue), I would be willing to modify the
gnome-session.i686 RPM to fix the issue.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

I am well aware of the costs of dns lookups which is why I worded the
question as broadly as I did.  In the end whois provided the necessary
information.

Thanks to all who replied and provided advice.

It's not a systemd bug.  If I'm correct, it's a bug in the openvswitch 
init scripts.  It's simply wrong for a component of the network startup 
to tell systemd that it needs to start after the network service is up.

[CentOS] ssmtp config for gmail

[Jerry Geis]

I have tried to setup ssmtp to relay through gmail.

root=my gmail address
AuthUser=my gmail address
AuthPass=my password
FromLineOverride=YES
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
UseSTARTTLS=YES
TLS_CA_FILE=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

I get this error:

Authorization failed (534 5.7.14
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754 145sm16287775qhb.20 - gsmtp)

I am not using two step verification at this time. I can sign into my
account just fine.

Am I missing a step?

Thanks

I believe that your issue is the fourth bullet point in on the
support page they link to:

  -- Your mail app might not support the latest security
 standards. Learn how to allow less secure apps access
 to your account.


If you aren't using OAuth 2.0 (which you aren't in your context):

  

you need to set your gmail account to accept connections from "less
secure apps".

I'm not familiar with JetStor, but a P800 is a older high end SAS raid
controller that expects to talk to individual SAS or SATA drives. you
can manage it with hpssacli from centos.



I have the P822.  It has no JBOD or RAID 0.  hpacucli works with CentOS 
7.0, but is broken on 7.1 -- it cannot find the controller.

I haven't used ssmtp with gmail for years--your file looks like what I used
to use.  Is there any chance of switching to msmtp?  That one still works
well for me with gmail, and I cover its setup on a page I have about mutt
at http://srobb.net/mutt.html#Sending

on newer OS's.

Thanks  Richard,

I actually logged into my gmail account and found the setting for Allow
less secure apps and there
was a checkbox there already.

How do I add Oath 2.0 to either smmtp or sendmail. I dont care which.

Thanks,

[CentOS] OT hardware issue: HP controller to 3rd party RAID

[m . roth]

Hi, folks,

   Got an old HP box with a P800 Smart Array controller. The HP RAID box
plugged into it's failing, and we got a new JetStor. Anyone know if we
can just plug the JetStor in and set it to passthrough, or if we have
to use the P800's firmware to set up the RAID, or other gotchas?

I *think* we could use the RAID boxes firmware to build the RAID, but last
resort would be passthrough, and Linux RAID.

The page also says it does RAID 0, but I did not see that in the 5.42 BIOS.

on many of those P4/P8 series raid cards, raid6 support is an extra cost 
option, but once its enabled for a given card, it continues to work on 
that card even if its moved.The P420's I have support raid0 (stripe)...



I googled JetStor, and saw a whole lineup of NAS/SAN boxes that support 
NFS, ISCSI, etc. these wouldn't work with a raid card like a P800, 
but a SAS expansion tray from a JetStor should work if direct connected 
to the SmartArray card... a JetStor that has its own embedded raid 
controller with SAS host connectivity won't work with a hardware raid 
card like a P800, you would instead want a simple HBA card, such as a HP 
H221 Host Bus Adapter

JetStor, from AC, is a *real* nice solid line of RAID appliances... and
esp. when you get to the bigger ones, runs half or a third the price that
NetApp, HP, or Dell RAID boxes run, literally. Really reliable hardware -
we've got some that have been running for well over six years with no
troubles (other than an occasional dead drive). (No, I'm not getting any
kickbacks from them - I really like their hardware.)
