Re: [CentOS-virt] Performance tunning CentOS / Xen

So I move forward to tune the performance, are there any recommended documents/tutorial that specialized on performance tuning VM host/guest, on CentOS / Xen architecture? I usually limit dom0 memory to 512 MB or 1024 MB to make sure memory ballooning is not needed while creating new domUs/guests. It could cause weird problems if you boot up your dom0 with all the physical memory available to it (possibly multiple gigabytes), and later it gets ballooned down to only a few hundred MBs. Also you might want to dedicate a cpu core only for dom0, so disk/network IO requests from domUs will always have enough CPU power to be executed by dom0. Xen hypervisor (xen.gz) boot options to play with: - dom0_max_vcpus= - dom0_vcpus_pin - dom0_mem= And possibly running xm vcpu-pin commands after startup to force dom0 vcpu(s) to a specific physical cpu(s)/core(s). In addition to that you also need to limit the physical cpus the domUs/guests can use (so the dom0 cpus/cores stay reserved only for dom0). Also you might want to give dom0 more weight than domUs so it is always able to have enough cpu time.

I once found a gdm binary that had been subverted. I'm certain that would fly below the radar of many organizations. hence 'rpm -Va'.

The install failed with a list of dependencies that could not be resolved. Searching the repos for those dependencies did not yield gold, and pbone couldn't find them either. The moral is, install one package at a time if a group fails.

The key is to keep the reports simple, and to make updating easy (and to have procedures that monitor systems to be sure they's still alive and reporting in). So how do you track the inevitable changes? Not saying you can't, just curious. For me, when I look at a batch of changes, some of them are obviously stuff I've done, other stuff not so obvious. I also filter reports through a script that sort of does a diff and makes an attempt to limit the boilerplate. Sometimes it is a bit too terse. First off, we don't allow automatic updates on most systems, much preferring to do them manually making it pretty easy to refresh the comparison database immediately after the update is complete. The odds that a cracker will get in and do their dirty deeds while this are going on are pretty low, and can probably be ignored. We handle pretty much all server stuff under the OpenPKG portable package management system so things like spamassassin, amavisd, clamav, and postfix are not the distribution versions, but those from OpenPKG (which are generally updated more quickly then the distribution's). A typical occurrence will be that we get an e-mail saying that clamav is out of date from the nightly freshclam update, I will pick up the new sources, update the OpenPKG SRPM for it, and deploy it 40 or so systems running it, and expect to see a corresponding set of notices the next morning that files under clamav have changed. The clusterssh program makes this sort of thing much more efficient as one can execute shell commands on multiple systems simultaneously. We create a file system initially, the same size as ``/'', and make a copy of ``/'' in it identical except for the /etc/fstab entry. This is not mounted in normal operations, but the system can be booted from it to get to a clean system. Wow, elaborate. How do you protect this file system from intruders? Exterrnal and powerred off? That's one way to do it. We also run a fair number of Linux servers under VMware so periodic snapshots and backups simplify the task. I have not seen many successful cracks of Linux boxes that we have configured from scratch. Some basic things can be done to minimize the chances of cracks. + Create the baseline for intrusion detection tools before putting the syste on line, and monitor it daily. + Configure openssh to refuse password authentication requiring authorized_keys access. + Configure openssh with tcp_wrappers support, restricting access by IP address and/or domain names. I consider this absolutely mandatory if one needs to all username and password authentication. + Use fail2ban or similar techniques to quickly block IP addresses that are found probing the system (don't forget to look at POP and IMAP logs for failed login attempts). + Use /bin/false as the standard shell for accounts that don't have good reason for shell access. This does not affect e-mail or most services that a typical ISP customer needs. + Use OpenVPN for access. This works well even when in hotels with NAT firewalls, and is not easily hacked anonymously. + Restrict access of webmin and usermin to local networks so they are not vulnerable to outside attack. These services are available to people outside connecting with OpenVPN. Cross Site Attacks (CSRF, XSS) make webmin very vulnerable in this scenario. It is a bad idea to use a single browser. If in Firefox, you already logged in to webmin and browse to a malicious site (many reputable sites unknowingly have malicious javascript -- see HoneyNet), the malicious site could do nasty things via webmin or any other internal webserver. Yes, NoScript may help, but NoScript has to be updated daily and Firefox restarted. The best practice is to Install three separate browser application such as Epiphany or Dillo and only use this for internal websites. Use Firefox for email. Use Chrome for everything else. The idea is to have completely separate processes using completely separate memory and harddrive locations. I don't think there are many malicious variants of InvisibleThings's BluePill or BlueChicken, but if a malicious variant can elevate itself to become the Hypervisor, then all of your virtual machines could be monitored by a HyperKit -- rootkit in the hypervisor. Again, i don't know if there are many malicious in-the-wild versions of bluepill, but if just one malicious vmware image is uploaded to the Amazon EC2, then every other VM on that same hardware at Amazon can be controlled by a hyperkit.

I have not used dkim yet, but have it on my to do list. The text record of your domain stored in your zone file in bind is referenced when any query accesses the information about your domain. ie the command : host -t TXT domain.com will display the text record in bind if you have one.

Somewhere during the course of recent updates I've lost the Java plugin for Firefox. Not sure when it happened, but I know Java was working in Firefox earlier this year. Firefox comes up empty when searching for a suitable plugin. I'm running a fully updated CentOS 5.3 with the following packages installed: firefox-3.0.12-1.el5.centos.i386.rpm java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115.i386.rpm java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.2.b09.el5.i386.rpm Any ideas what I'm missing? The Java plugin is not something I use often, but when I need it, I need it. Do I need to dump openjdk and get Java directly from Sun? It looks like libjavaplugin_oji.so went away when Sun Java got replaced by the openjdk version. -- Bob Nichols NOSPAM is really part of my email address.
