[CentOS-virt] How to pass messages from dom0 to domU??

Re: [CentOS-virt] How to pass messages from dom0 to domU??
Thanks for the feedback. I as already planning to have a dedicated management network and had also discussed the need for some network protocol to share state information. I now feel that using a network to share state information is the right solution in our case. While xenstore looks interesting, I am hesitant to implement anything that is Xen specific at this time. I want to be able to move to KVM or the next big thing as simply as possible. Thanks again, David On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 4:53 AM, Christopher G.

Re: [CentOS] DRBD very slow....
Hello all,
For completeness here is my current setup:
host1:
Xeon Quad-Core
8GB RAM
Centos 5.3 64bit
2x 1TB seagate sata disks in software raid level 1
LVM on top of the raid for dom0 root fs and for all domU root FSses
host2:
Xeon Dual-Core
8GB RAM
Centos 5.3 64bit
2x 1TB seagate sata disks in software raid level 1
LVM on top of the raid for dom0 root fs and for all domU root FSses
common:
hosts are connected to local LAN
and directly to each other with a CAT6 gigabit crossover.
I have 6 DRBDs running for 5 domUs over the back to back link.
DRBD version drbd82-8.2.6-1.el5.centos
___
___
Ok, here is what I have done:
___
I have added the following to the drbd config:
disk { no-disk-flushes;
no-md-flushes; }
That made the resync go up to 50MB/sec after I issued a
drbdsetup /dev/drbdX syncer -r 110M
It used to stick around at 11MB/sec
As far as i can tell it has improved the domUs disk access as well.
I do see that there are a lot of warnings to be heeded with disk and
metadata flushing..
___
iperf results:
on host 1:
# iperf -s
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
[ 5] local 10.99.99.1 port 5001 connected with 10.99.99.2 port 58183
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 5] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.16 GBytes990 Mbits/sec
on host 2:
# iperf -c 10.99.99.1
Client connecting to 10.99.99.1, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 73.8 KByte (default)
[ 3] local 10.99.99.2 port 58183 connected with 10.99.99.1 port 5001
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.16 GBytes992 Mbits/sec
I am assuming those results are to be expected from a back to back
gigabit.
___
the dd thing.
I think I did this completely wrong, how is this supposed to be done?
this is what i did
host 1:
nc -l 8123 | dd of=/mnt/data/1gig.file oflag=direct
(/mnt/data is an ext3 FS in LVM mounted on dom0)
host 2:
date; dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1000 | nc 10.99.99.2 8123 ; date
I did not wait for it to finish... according to ifstat the average speed
I got during this transfer was 1.6MB/sec
___
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Coert

Not good...
But if I copy a 1 gig file over that link I get 110 MB/sec.
That tells me that the network connection is fine. The issue is at a
higher layer...
Why is DRBD so slow?
Let's see...
common {
protocol C;
syncer { rate 80M; }
net {
allow-two-primaries;
}
}
You want allow-two-primaries? That implies that you're using something
like ocfs2, but that's probably immaterial to the discussion... Here's a
question - do you have another syncer statement in the resource
definition that's set to a lower number? That would definitely throttle
the sync rate...
-I
I occasionally do migration from one dom0 to the other
I do not have clustered file sytems, so I make sure that two are only
primary during the migration.
I have no automation yet, I do it all manually to be sure.
I only have one syncer defenition, and according to the drbd manual that
is the rate for full resyncs?

Re: [CentOS] PCI modems
HylaFax.org's list of Analog/POTS SoftModems has a list of winmodems mixed in with just plain software. (Digital Modems are for ISDN / T1 phone circuits, not home). So you may want to ask their mailing list and chat room. Keeping in mind that hardware that works for one type of softmodem project (voice) may not work for another (faxing). Linux Gazette has an article on a $10 dollaer Linux Answering Machine that says that Intel 537-based modem (softmodem) works. A PCI slot that does not share interrupts is very important bc it will generate thousands of interrupts. External modems allow you to reset the modem without resetting the entire pc.

[CentOS] apache redirect rule
Hello guys,
sorry for this OT, but It seems that I am a very stupid :(.
I want to achieve one simple think in apache 2.2.
If users will type extensions.polarion.com I want to redirect him to
extensions.polarion.com/polarion/extensions However there are
following rules that apply
1) extensions.polarion.com is an virtual host alias to
community.polarion.com . There is a definition inside virtual host
which redirects all / to /polarion using this RedirectMatch permanent
^/$ /polarion/
2) what I want to achieve is to check if user comes from
extensions.polarion.com and If so to redirect him to
extensions.polarion.com/polarion/extensions
I guess something like :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} extensions.polarion.com
RewriteRule / http://extensions.polarion.com/polarion/extensions/
Is this going to work?
Thanks milion times.

Usually those would be regexps, so the right syntax for what you want
would be something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =extensions.polarion.com
RewriteRule ^/$ http://extensions.polarion.com/polarion/extensions/
The = in RewriteCond forces it to treat the second parameter as a
string (if that does not work for you, try ^extensions\.polarion\.com$
instead.)
In the second rule, you want to redirect only requests to /, so you
need to anchor it with ^/$.
And don't forget that you will also need:
RewriteEngine on
Other than that, it should work fine. But I suggest you test these
rules in a test environment first before commiting them to your
production machine.

Hello guys,
sorry for this OT, but It seems that I am a very stupid :(.
I want to achieve one simple think in apache 2.2.
If users will type extensions.polarion.com I want to redirect him to
extensions.polarion.com/polarion/extensions However there are
following rules that apply
1) extensions.polarion.com is an virtual host alias to
community.polarion.com . There is a definition inside virtual host
which redirects all / to /polarion using this RedirectMatch permanent
^/$ /polarion/
2) what I want to achieve is to check if user comes from
extensions.polarion.com and If so to redirect him to
extensions.polarion.com/polarion/extensions
I guess something like :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} extensions.polarion.com
RewriteRule / http://extensions.polarion.com/polarion/extensions/
Is this going to work?
Thanks milion times.

For home directories NFS is still the most appropriate protocol to use. If you want scalability and high availability, you might set up a couple of servers using a GFS filesystem and have both of them serve NFS to the clients, but GFS is not a set up and forget kind of technology and if you don't have the knowledge or resources I believe it will actually cause more downtimes than it can prevent... For simple scalability, I suggest you set up multiple NFS servers and spread home directories of different users in different NFS servers. You may use automount with LDAP in order to define in which server a specific user's home directory is. If you want something more robust and with more features (like thin provisioning, writable snapshots, etc.) you might look into NAS storage such as NetApp or Celerra or Isilon or BlueArc.

So I thought one of the first things I had better do is consider are there alternatives to the way we do things now that could be better for us.

Re: [CentOS] Need help on start samba

He used the source tarball. one would wonder why Why? IIRC, I think the term is ready for this *Open Source * Further, the samba project has added a great deal more than what is in the standard RPMs. However, if you are using an *enterprise* distro, it usually means you want to use well tested and stable versions of packages. If you want cutting edge versions, you should probably go with Fedora or Ubuntu. If you want to install from source, you should probably go with Gentoo. But more to the point, if you install software from source, you can't expect to go to the CentOS mailing lists and ask for help. In this specific case, the OP should either uninstall Samba from source and install the CentOS RPMs, in which case the mailing list would be able to help him, or should go to the Samba website and mailing lists asking for help instead. In this specific case, it's clear he doesn't know what he is doing and how to fix a fairly simple problem, in which case I expect him to find other problems just after this one is fixed, not to mention that he will probably not be able to update and keep his versions current, applying security patches, etc., so I think he would be better off by uninstalling his source build and installing the CentOS RPMs instead, in which case the experience should be smoother and, while it would still require some skills, those would be simpler than the ones required when building and maintaining from source yourself.

Re: [CentOS] Drupal installation
Timothy Murphy wrote: Sorry, I should have made myself clearer. Drupal-5 is available on EPEL, so it can just be yum-installed. The question is, what to do after that? Eg is it a good idea to create a user drupal who will own the database one has to create? No need to create a user Drupal at the OS level. You need to create a database and a database user/password. The database/user/password go into the settings.php file. There is a Drupal support list too, which may be more appropriate at some point. -- Sincerely, John Thomas ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Setting up Linux File Servers in a University Environment

Currently we provide a users home directory via NFS from a file server. Generally it works well for us, but I have been asked to look at our options for expanding the storage we have available. So I thought one of the first things I had better do is consider are there alternatives to the way we do things now that could be better for us. My initial research suggests that the only real alternative to NFS in this context is ISCSI or perhaps the combination of ISCSI and GFS. So I was wondering has anyone on this list in a similar field implement ISCSI for home directories instead of NFS? And if so would you be able to give me some idea of the costs/ benefits of doing this? ISCSI isn't really suited for this. You would use iSCSI to provide storage to your NFS servers probably from a large storage box like an EMC, 3PAR or such. You could make your own massive storage server and present the storage in parts via iSCSI to different NFS servers serving different parts of campus. Some time ago I was toying with the idea of having a number of hosts exporting network block devices to a server where I would coalesce them by means of LVM, then exporting the filesystem on one logical volume with NFS. Is this too crazy a setup? I understand reliability drops because of too many critical points of failure, but I would expect (though not know for sure) gnbd should come with some form of redundancy. Could this work as a cheap, scalable, poor man's solution? -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
