[CentOS-docs] HowTo activate LVs after reboot automatically
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hello !
What to do if after reboot, your LVs get inactive ?
Maybe add the following to /etc/rc.local :
{{{
#
# Mounting MyLogVols
#
/usr/sbin/vgchange -a y MyVolGroup
for i in `ls /dev/Backup/`; do
e2fsck -p /dev/Backup/$i
case $? in
0)
mount -t ext3 /dev/MyVolGroup/$i/mnt/MyVolGroup/$i
;;
1)
mount -t ext3 /dev/MyVolGroup/$i/mnt/MyVolGroup/$i
;;
2)
/usr/bin/reboot
;;
esac
done
}}}
Other solutions ?
Could we document this issue on the wiki ?
Cheers,

[CentOS] Installing CentOS security updates to RHEL machines? (RHN subscription expired)
Hello, I hope my question is not annoying. I work as sysadmin at a 400 users firm and we have around 20 CentOS 4/5 servers and VMs and CentOS is awesome, thank you! However we have 4 important SAP-servers running RHEL5 and our RHN subscription has unforunately expired and buying it again is not an option right now. Installing CentOS is not an option too, because we'd have to pay for SAP-reinstall. Has anybody have been in a similar situation and figured out a good way to make yum update on RHEL machines to work against CentOS repositories?

Alexander Farber wrote: Has anybody have been in a similar situation and figured out a good way to make yum update on RHEL machines to work against CentOS repositories? The CentOS repositories are just a YUM repository. Simply add the '.repo' file to your '/etc/yum.repos.d/' folder. You will also need to change the '$releasever' to just '5' as rhel uses 'server5'. I just tested this on a minimal install of RHEL 5.2. Be warned that any updated versions of the RPMs will be overridden by the CentOS RPMs, which did include the kernel. Yum is fairly flexible this way. I am not sure how flexible the rhel update plugin will be if you eventually renew your subscription and try to go back, though.

The same websites are running very well on a machine with a Gigabyte G31MX-S motherboard + 4GB DDRII 800 RAM + C2D 6750 CPU. This is what baffles me, how can the same load on a slower machine work fine, but on the faster one not? Having watched all this thread, I note that certain things are not mentioned. Assuming that you followed all the previous suggestions, I'll add my own that is based on practical experience some years back, and one recent experience. Like you, I always built my own. Since you have no way to check the PS, try removing all components you can and see if that helps. _Usually_ a weak PS will show symptoms on boot, since all things are spinning up asnd doing max current draw, but sometimes not. Some BIOS have settings that allow or automatically spin up in a stepped sequence. This would not stress the PS as much. Keep in mind that PS's have different amperage draw capabilities for different rails. A seemingly sufficient PS in terms of wattage may be weak on one or more of the rails. Specs for the mobo and PS might indicate a problem. I also thought the problems was related to the power supply, but I don't have a spare one of these at the moment. I did, however, swap-out the PSU with a standard 350W PSU, and the sympoms were the same, so it's not PSU related in this case. This also reminds me that I should get a spare PSU ASAP :) Have you checked the voltage settings in the BIOS for the CPU and memory? Many/most these days automatically detect, but... I normally leave those on automatic, since I don't like running components outside suppliers specs. Check the spec sheets for the CPU and memory sticks. I recently upgraded a mobo memory and it would not boot or run reliably. The spec for the memory was not available and I left the settings as with the previous memory. Not wanting to fry the sticks and possibly void the warranty, I picked up the whole thing an carried it back to my local supplier. I explained the symptoms and told him I suspected memory voltage but didn't want to try/fry the sticks and risk the warranty. Hmmm... he said. Well, long story short, he eventually kicked up the voltage (I guess the auto in the BIOS was flaky or something) and all worked. Required +.2 volts. Most memory sticks can be run at slightly higher (+.1, +.2) volts without harm. Larger memory may require a slight increase in voltage. I guess the automatic settings can't always be trusted. Running about 6 months now, NPs. Another thing about pulling all components you can: if there is some kind of IRQ conflict, this can (used to?) cause slowdowns. Maybe that will be shown there. But that should also leave some traces in the /var/log/messages or dmesg log. There no add-in cards, nor a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM, only the on-board devices the HDD's. Taking the HDD's out doesn't help much, since the problems only occur when there's a bit of load on the system. Let's presume that the obvious problem is not the problem. What if it is not hardware directly? Examine your /var/log/dmesg carefully for any suspect messages. I've also found that occasionally drivers selected by the system may not be exactly correct. Check the specs for mobo and add-in cards and see if it looks like the best drivers for the chip sets are loaded (lsmod and modinfo help here). /var/log/messages didn't show anything related to the problem, at all. Grab any old performance/diagnostics software (maybe some on this list have current knowledge - I don't) and run it. Compare to published data for same or similar systems. Enable sar on the system, run the reports and see where the slowdowns are. I haven't used multi-core yet, but I would first check to see if all the cores are being effectively used. Maybe top will help here? Not sure. BIOS: some have oddball (not really, but legacy issues abound) settings that may limit amount of memory seen/used? Keep an eye out for those. Memory timings may not be properly detected and set. Check the specs for the memory and see if the BIOS has them properly set. BTW, _some_ memory and mobo combos will allow faster settings, but be careful. I haven't dinked with them for a long time, so I can't make any Q A suggestions. Have you upgraded to the latest BIOS on the system? Most retail mobos come with an early BIOS version that has... issues. Check the manufacturers web site and see if there is a later BIOS. No, I don't like BIOS upgrades unless absolutely necessary. OTHER: Of course, you have manually re-seated all connections, yes? A slightly loose cable, add-in card or memory not fully seated can do things such as you describe. Other than RAM, the only other cables to reseat are the power cables SATA

And really, how can KingMax RAM or Seagate HDD's from one supplier be better than from another supplier? I only use the recommended types, i.e ECC (non registered), and Seagate RAID edition SATAII HDD's. I dunno about Dell, but most vendors, their own 'branded' hard drives have customized firmware thats been tested and validated to work in all their various raid systems. its a lot of little things. a Sun 72GB SCSI drive will always be an exact size, no matter what 72GB drive is in it, while a whitebox generic drive from the same OEM(seagate/hitachi/etc) might be 50MB bigger or 10MB smaller or whatever. this really matters when you replace a raid drive.raid controllers in particular interact with hard drive firmware in some rather complex and subtle ways, and the drives really need to be tested and qualified for a specific application. as an example, a seagate ST3100 drive might have 100 or more variations, indicated by different part numbers (the 9L9005-xxx number in the case of Seagate) to meet specific OEM requirements. mix and match the generic 'whitebox' versions of the drives in systems, and you're the one doing the qualification testing in production. This is interesting, thank you for letting me know :) Memory has a lot of little specs that aren't readily apparent, and DDR2-533 Registered ECC can have differing CAS timings, different voltages, and even if all that is identical on paper, may or may not work reliably in a given system due to timing subtleties.. The HP or Sun or whatever ram has been fully qualified to work in their systems and most importantly is supported by their field service people. The stuff you get cheaper at mom-n-pops compuRus, who knows, you're the one doing the 'qualification testing' on your production systems. since you've mentioned dell, I'd have to say, in my personal experience, Dell's are the cheapest and least reliable of the brand name servers... their field service in the US at least is decent, but they have a far higher 'infant mortality' rate than about anything else I've used (mostly HP, Sun, IBM). Sun, IBM HP servers in our country are far over rated, and they don't deal with the small companies, only the larger corporates, so it's not really an option for me. Intel server are easier to get hold of, but also very expensive. Tyan - I don't know who sells it in our country your supermicro vendor, he doesn't want anyone elses parts in the system he sells and warranties because he doesn't want to be be responsible for fixing ensuing problems. he's selling stuff he knows works, he knows meets the specifications, and that he's warrantying and supporting.If you bought a new Volkswagen, then installed an aftermarket camshaft, and the engine eats a valve, you're not going to expect Volkswagen to repair the piston damage, are you? Not quite. The CPU, RAM HDD's that sells is 30% more expensive than the other suppliers on the same thing, and this make the servers also more expensive than what they can be. I'm sitting with a lot of CPU's, RAM HDD's which I'd still like to use, and don't see the point and throwing them in the bin to buy new ones. My other big problem, is if I want to upgrade anything, then I need to take the servers back to their warehouse, which with traffic is 2 - 3 hours drive from the DC, during office hours, and then there's a 2 day turn-around on upgrades. Our dells can get upgraded by ourselves, we get the component from Dell and then schedule upgrades for a Sunday night - very convenient. And Dell will also come to the DC 24/7 if needed. For this reason, I don't want to purchase from the current SuperMicro supplier. See, the thing in our country is, some companies have monopolies in their market, and they set the trends for how their clients may use their products / services - which doesn't always make business sense. It has nothing todo with he doesn't want anyone elses parts in the system he sells and warranties because he doesn't want to be be responsible for fixing ensuing problems. he's selling stuff he knows works Even our Intel suppliers (there are a few of them) don't have this stupid policy.

You want the nm-applet utility (provided that you have configured and running NetworkManager service). It is a gnome utility, so you need to start it yourself if you are using KDE.

The point behind my asking was if one would be able to run RHEL/CentOS 6 as a dom0 - as it is derived from Fedora and reflects the available bits at the time of the OS freeze. In other words, if there is a normal upgrade path concerning Xen from RHEL/CentOS 5 to 6 or not. So, at the moment it looks like you can't run RHEL 6 as a dom0, but this may change until it's release depending on the upstream (kernel.org?) kernel having the relevant xen bits in time for an RHEL release (which is promised for 2.6.29 or so at the moment). You can probably run RHEL 6 paravirtualized on a RHEL 5 dom0. Correct interpretation so far? Yeah, more or less correct :) Then again Redhat guys have not yet commented about planned features for RHEL6.. -- Pasi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
