[CentOS-virt] small cloud interface : http://karesansui-project.info/
hi guys, just wondering if anyone had feedback about this project : http://karesansui-project.info/ ; I had a go at setting it up, and it took about 5 minutes to get going and be productive. their installer is extremely odd, its a tarball with RPMS ( although they do provide a yum repo as well ). And its based on CentOS ( hardwired version numbers from centos-5.3 to 5.5 - does not seem to like 5.6 unless you change their detection string, not sure why ). - KB ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

I guess the question is how much such an interface buys you compared to lets say virt-manager? If you only have a hand full of virtual machines then using virt-manager is probably easier then setting up any of these cloud tools and if you have more then a hand full of guests then many of the functions become redundant as you'll need a dedicated monitoring solution like Zabbix anyway so all those nifty graphs become pointless. BTW what happened to Red Hats RHEV-M System? They wanted to release an open-source version of that a while ago. Does anyone know what the status of that is?

Re: [CentOS-es] YUM roto. No se puede instalar/actualizar nada
Compañero Gerardo, eso ocurre cuando el sistema tiene corriendo el proceso de actualización, para solucionar el impase has lo siguiente: 1. ubica el proceso yum-updatesd ps -efd |grep yum 2. Cancela ( kill -9 #proceso) el yum que este corriendo. 3. Ejecuta nuevamente la instrucción yum update, posteriormente el yum paquete que deseas instalar Recomendación personal (recuerda que esto es a gusto del consumidor): Una vez instalo CentOS (físico o virtual) yo le desactivo ese demonio de tal manera que el proceso de actualización lo controlo yo. Para desactivarlo ejecuta desde la linea de comandos el mandato ntsysv, ubica el demonio yum-updateesd y retira el asterisco (desmarcalo), acepta los cambios y listo. Saludos. Carlos R!

You wont need to remove anything. As long as you do not edit that file it will be managed by centos-release-5-7 and centos-release-cr-5-7 etc. Because, as step 1, we did not want to default everyone over into moving a machine's state unexpectedly : we created this one time manual step. Depending on how things go and how people feel we could potentially remove that manual step in the future. The important thing here is that you have an option to either get onto or not get onto the cr/ release process, and you can opt out whenever you like by removing the file. But as long as you are 'in', you wont need to do anything manual from this point on. And yes, I think its worth getting the security fix's at least out to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. Segregating these security fixs, their build deps and their link chains is super complex and in many cases of dubious value in the EL release frame. Which is why we have the security, bugfix and enhancement updates rolled in here. What bugs me about this is the manual overhead for adding and removing the repo on the systems. I presume when TUV 5.8 gets released and I want to be up-to-date I have to add the CentOS cr repo again and then remove it when CentOS 5.8 is out? no, if you leave the centos-release-cr installed on your machine, you wont need to do anything. just keep the yum updates going That way people interested in the rolling release would only have to enable this only once on their systems and stay on this rolling release train until they deliberately deactivate the repo again. What we have now should be pretty much the same thing.

A resize + a dd copy to shift the position might be feasible time-wise if that would work. I think so. Your partition starts at sector 63, you need anything divisible by 8, so: - 64 is my expectation, - 56 is a fallback solution if the partition does not fit on the disk with 64 sector offset - 2048 would be perfect (1M alignment is currently preferred by Centos 6 and many other OSs) To be on the safe side, take the disk out of the array (mdadm -f /dev/md0 /dev/sdX1 ; mdadm -r /dev/md0 /dev/sdX1) and clear superblock using mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdX1. Then repartition the disk using fdisk using the following commands: fdisk /dev/sdX u -- display units are sectors c -- no DOS compatibility (== no cyllinder rounding, you definitely want that) o -- new dos partition table n -- new partition p -- primary 1 -- partition 1 64 -- starting offset 1465144065 -- exact size here, because (just to be on the safe side) you do not want to have a larger partition on a rescue disk than on a base disk. Your partition sdh1 has 732572001 1k-blocks, as you wrote in one e-mail, multiply this by 2 (sectors) add 64, (starting offset) subtract 1 because the offset is inclusive. You get 2*732572001+64-1=1465144065. If fdisk complains that this is too much then offset 64 cannot be used and you need to repeat the procedure using offset 56 (don't forget to recalculate ending sector). t -- type fd -- linux raid autodetect w mdadm -a /dev/mdX /dev/sdX1 And everything should be fine. One more follow-up on this. This did work fine but it turned out that the disk I was using was defective which is probably what threw off my earlier attempts to get the alignment right. It would start with some promising values for the resync speed, but would keep slowing down more and more as it went and eventually it got to the point where there were errors reported. I returned it and the replacement is a pretty close match to the 3.5 drives in speed. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This repository contains rpms to be included in the next CentOS-5.x release. Because these include security and bugfix updates, we strongly recommend everyone using CentOS-5 install and update their system using this repository. - Download and Install: Installing the CR repository needs a manual step. You must download the correct centos-release-cr rpm and install it on your machine, this would setup the CentOS-CR.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ i386: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/cr/i386/RPMS/centos-release-cr-5-6.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm md5: 67bbeb40cb77a91379847074667d2956 sha256: 50cd9f3d35b391a9009a9caae80182dcfccfa5abaf4ff4ef5f4d880bcf26b04c x86_64: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/cr/x86_64/RPMS/centos-release-cr-5-6.el5.centos.1.x86_64.rpm md5: c447f54818a657a9dfd7fdd28a28cfcc sha256: dab390a0fca17612e438b215fc90448ebcef982e96e25cbea8426f00edc8b7a5 Notes: - All rpms in the CR repo are signed with the main distro key - We hope to have the 5.7 Release ready in the next 7 to 10 days - All updates released since 5.7 upstream, will also be added to the CR repo in the next 24 hrs - Once 5.7 is released, the 5.6/cr/ repositories will be removed ( they will not be available on vault.centos.org ) - We will create and test a migration path from 5.6/cr to 5.7/os. Everyone running regular updates will automatically be moved to the 5.7 release repositories once they are available on the mirrors. - Baseurl for the CR repo is set to only use centos.org internal machines, this is to reduce the amount of time we need to spend in seeding and then managing external mirrors. - All contents in the CR repo will be announced into a separate announcement list; once 5.7 is released the announcements will be re-sent to the centos-announce list.

[CentOS] Problem getting eth0 up
I'm just starting to test CentOS 6 in our environment, and as a first step did a basic install from DVD (Desktop target, all defaults). Next I will try to automate the installations as I did for CentOS 5 using the anakonda-ks.cfg file generated by the manual install. However, I can't wrap my brain around the new NetworkManager to get it to configure the eth0 interface to obtain an IP address from our DHCP server. I've seen the FAQ on the wiki and the interface is up, but it doesn't get an IP address. I've done the installation from DVD multiple times now, each time with the same result. What am i missing?

[CentOS] Centos Gotcha: YUM Groupinstall
Folks I have encountered a situation with YUM that isn't what I expected. Let's suppose I want to install a group, call it G. My first question would be -- is the group already installed. Realize all of this is scripted. So, I use yum groupinfo and I see the list of installed groups, and those not yet installed. If group G is in the list of installed groups, one would think that there's no point in issuing a groupinstall. But, to my surprise, a group can be listed as installed, only to find that a groupinstall will actually do a lot of installs. So, I had to adapt my script to perform a groupinfo G, parse the modules, and individually test them to see if they need installation.

[CentOS] 5.1.6 php to 5.3, a few questions
Alright, looks like I have to do this (centos 5.x install). Some questions.. 1) I imagine I have to uninstall my current version of php...will yum remove want to take a ton of programs with it? Would I have to individually uninstall each package instead? 2) yum down the new version from some repo and then install it. I imagine nothing from the previous setup will be there and I would have to start going through the program and config files to make it work with my system, yes? 3) for those that have done it, how many things broke when you took out the old and added the new? honestly just thinking about getting a new comp, installing centos6, adding some virtuals, moving the sites over to the new one and being done with it. Not comfortable with a version of php that will not be backported like 5.1.6 is with centos team. any problems you encountered, would love to hear about them. thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
