So I assume that the problem occurs just with the xen domU and not
with the dom0? And your solution is to reboot the domU (not dom0)?

With loosing network you mean you cannot ping your gateway ip and/or
you   cannot ping the domU from your gw?

You are running the latest kernel/xen packages provided by centos on
your dom0 and domU?

How have you configured network on this server, can you post your
configs (vif line in dom0 config aand newtork config files from the
domU)?

And you are sure you have an unique MAC address in your LAN for your domU?

Best,
Peter

   Thanks.

When outage occurs, from the host these might be good things to look at
and/or share with the list:

ip link
brctl show
arp -n (arp -n from your next-hop router too)
tcpdump -ln -i peth0 (try some activity; e.g. ping out to router, ping
in from router)
tcpdump -ln -i br0 (more activity)

Depending on your xen bridge setup the bridge might be named eth0 or
virbr0; peth0 might be different too.

Re: [CentOS-es] Instalar certificado firmado en apache

2011-10-12 Thread Miguel Gonzalez
El nombre del dominio del certificado tiene que coincidir con el del dominio de 
la web. Algunas organizaciones lo que hacen es tener su propia CA, consiguen el 
certificado firmado por una CA y con ese certficado firman los certificados de 
sus subdominios.

Hola gente, tenemos un servidor con centos 5 y en el log secure veo 
intentos de acceso por ssh muy seguramente un script (checando la IP 
google dice que es alguien de beijing).

Primero agregue la ip a hosts.deny pero luego me di cuenta que la ip 
cambio y siguio cambiando, entonces no veo el caso de estar agregando 
las ip al hosts.deny

Luego cerre el acceso por ssh a root que bueno gloogeando me tope que es 
una buena practica de seguridad, asi como tambien limitar el numero de 
intentos el tiempo para poner la contraseña y ahi de ratos veo en el log 
intentos de acceso por ahi, pero pues por ahi ya no podra entrar.

¿Alguna otra recomendacio que me puedan dar para evitar esto?

 List,

Yes.

 I got X11 forwarding to work when I have a full Xfce desktop, but not with a
 server setup.

 I would like to golf this... IOW find the minimum number of packages.

 Any hints or kickstart configs for the needy?

There's really not much you need to install.  Minimal install + xauth + gedit
and I'd have thought you were there.  xauth is the important bit that you can
accidentally miss off.  You just need to check for ssh X forwarding working.
ssh -Y to your server and echo $DISPLAY.  If it's not defined, you've got a
problem.

So, do i have to download latest drbd source package,
then untar , and do this =

{ If you are about to build RPMs for both the DRBD userspace utilities 
and the kernel module, use: }

$ ./configure --enable-spec --with-km
$ make tgz
$ cp drbd*.tar.gz `rpm -E _sourcedir`
$ rpmbuild -bb drbd.spec
$ rpmbuild -bb drbd-kernel.spec



This would be right way for me?

And waht do i have to do on updates=? Same Procedure?

Thank you.

You need uvcvideo module for your Webcam: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/

It looks like it is part of the C6 kernels.

There are versions of your Webcam that do not respond well to UVC 
commands, firmware problem, no Linux cen help you with that.

UVC on Debian (you might get hints there):
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UVC

There is luvcview in Repoforge repository to test UVC devices.

I am no expert but it sounds like you might be in the early stages of hardware 
failure.

Next time this system stop responding check the following:

1. System interface state
2. Connected switch interface

If the switch shows down but the system shows up I wold start by replacing the 
NIC on the system.

It builds fine now !

Joseph's post was:

Yeah, but generate rpm's for final installation, its trivial.
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide-emb/s-build-rpm.html

End of the link says Build Rpm. So, install building tools and 
environment, and kernel-devel on the production system (5 years ago I 
was thought that it is not wise to do so), and compile it against your 
kernel.
And there is already built and tested kmod- module from ELRepo.

Just so I can answer you (all), I visited that web page and read following:
Note that any kernel upgrade will require you to generate a new drbd-km 
package to match the new kernel.

So, my assumption that kernel upgrade without rebuilding the module 
would brake his production server was correct.

I used to use madwifi-kmdl kernel modules for my Atheros wireless radio 
card, and each time I upgraded kernel I had to upgrade/install new 
module also. Very tiresome.

Then I studied kmdl vs kmod packages and learned that kmod packages do 
not need any recompilation after kernel upgrade. They use weak-update 
model (essentially symlinks) as long as new kernel has same ABI as 
previous ones. Install process of new kernel checks kernel modules of 
currently installed kernels and symlinks them, avoiding need for 
building them or installing new packages (hoping they are already 
available). I was delighted when I saw that ELRepo developers use kmod 
model, no more messing with kernel modules.

That is why I suggested using ELRepo kernel module package instead of 
self-built one. Only reason I can see in building your own module is to 
use those other packages (like drbd-heartbeat).

I hope this finally clears up what I tried to say:

1. Joseph's link clearly stated it was for self building the rpm(s) so I 
did not need to visit the link to know what is on the page.

2. Developers of kernel module packages rarely use kmod approach in fear 
people will mess it up (like installing vanila kernel on CentOS sistem 
and still calling it CentOS,...). Ubuntu and Arch users especially have 
this problem, so it is safer to build for each new kernel.

3. Kernel module re-packagers from ELRepo have luxury of safely offering 
kmod packages for EL kernels, and I believe this is safest and best 
approach.

 On Wednesday 12 October 2011 03:43, the following was written:

 I am no expert but it sounds like you might be in the early stages of hardware
 failure.

 Next time this system stop responding check the following:

 1. System interface state
 2. Connected switch interface

 If the switch shows down but the system shows up I wold start by replacing the
 NIC on the system.



I had similar problems with my server and first thing I did was to hook 
it up to Monitor and keyboard (serial is good too).

In my case, it was (probably) network cable loosing connection. I new 
that once I was able to access server via keyboard and still had no 
connection. But in my case both NIC and switch showed connection just 
not blinking.

Did reboot help? Can you prepare another switch and LAN cable? Or maybe 
cheep router so you can connect them directly and try to ping router 
(set it on the same subnet).

NIC starting to broke can also be an issue, but you should also try 
looking for newer NIC drivers in ELRepo repository, some drivers have 
small bugs.

Upgrading from 5.5 to 5.7 might also solve your problem, is it is a 
driver problem and not hardware.

don't specify compression on gigE, it will just slow you down.

scp/sftp should be virtually the same speed, all else being equal

Not booting from them, but is there a problem with kernel autoassembly

md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: invalid raid superblock magic on sde1
md: sde1 has invalid sb, not importing!

mdadm --assemble /dev/md5 /dev/sde1

When using mdadm you don't even have to partition a drive if you are using the 
whole thing. Just make sure the block device is set to GPT in parted if it is 
not already. After creating the RAID1 get the uuid of the raid by doing mdadm 
-D /dev/dm5. Then use the following format in the /etc/mdadm.conf to have it 
auto assemble at boot.

ARRAY /dev/md5 devices=/dev/sd[e-f] uuid=$UUID_FROM_MDADM

I believe (from memory) you'd add the 2nd drive to the volume group, then

 vgextend vgname /dev/(newdisk)
 lvconvert -m 1 logicalvolumename

one nice thing about lvm mirroring is you can do it with a mix of drive 
sizes without having to worry about geometry or layout, it will simply 
ensure that each block exists on two devices

Re: [CentOS] raid on large disks?

 Not booting from them, but is there a problem with kernel

 on large partitions?  I see this in dmsg:

 md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.

 md: sde1 has invalid sb, not importing!

 But
 mdadm --assemble /dev/md5 /dev/sde1
 works fine after booting.  (The array was created with a missing
 member which hasn't been added yet).


 When using mdadm you don't even have to partition a drive if you are using 
 the whole thing. Just make sure the block device is set to GPT in parted if 
 it is not already. After creating the RAID1 get the uuid of the raid by doing 
 mdadm -D /dev/dm5. Then use the following format in the /etc/mdadm.conf to 
 have it auto assemble at boot.

 ARRAY /dev/md5 devices=/dev/sd[e-f] uuid=$UUID_FROM_MDADM

Thanks - I already had the raid and filesystem (and data) on a
partition - it just wasn't restarting at boot. The above approach with
the device names of the partitions seems to bring it up in time to
make it work when included in /etc/fstab.   That's better than
nothing, but I'd really prefer kernel autoassembly because the disks
are all in swappable enclosures and I do move things around once in a
while.  Does that just not work for large partitions?  I see that 'cat
/proc/mdstat' says 'super 1.0' on this device and none of the others.

Sorry Mark, I started this upgrade project a few days ago and am stepping
back to it now that I have a little more time. I tried the php53u package
like eero suggested but the package could not be found still. I did a yum
search php and there aren't ANY packages that start with php, the closest
I have is phc which is the php compliler. We would love to be able to
figure this out so we can run php.activerecord.

 it was late at night last night, but after posting that first message, I

 `yum install flac-devel` and got the error I pasted (I'd gotten it
 before the yum upgrade, too), but it went away after a yum clean all
 (I'd done this once or twice already prior to the yum upgrade).

 all I really wanted was 'flac', I couldn't even see that package before
 the full update.  huh.


Aahhh, I forgot about base repo. When I search local mirrored repos I 
use locate (since it is set to pull file lists via NFS), but forgot 
about base repo inside ISO file.

 (sorry if this appears basic but I have no experience with such hardware)
 
 
 typically, a server will have a SAS backplane which sas/sata drives hot 
 plug into, and 1 or more 4 channel SAS ports that plug into the host bus 
 adapter or raid controller.  this SAS backplane usually has a 'SES' 
 controller[*] embedded on it, which appears to the host as another SAS 
 device, and manages the LEDs.   If its a brand name server (hp, dell, 
 ibm, etc) using the vendor's raid cards, the LEDs all just work.if 
 its whitebox stuff, with JBOD, getting the right failure LEDs to come on 
 may require some custom configuration.
 
 
 [*] SES supercedes the earlier SAF-TE design for the same functionality.

I'm guessing you want to be able to ID a failed drive visually and mdadm can 
make that a challenge.

A SATA backplane likely will have a signal bus connector (Suoermicro server 
backplanes do)  but onboard controllers probably won't supply the other end  
Built servers definitely will as john points out.  Better hardware RAID HBAs 
probably shoild have the complimentary signal bus connector.  Make sure your 
system builder or supplier gets you the right cable bits - i'm pretty sure 
they're not universal.

While everyone was right, John got the Gold Star award for reminding me
that this server has WHM Cpanel installed on it. So far the control panel
interferes more than it ever helps when I am trying to manually install
packages. Thank you all for your support, I have been very impressed with
the promptness and ability of the list. I am now running the newest
version on the machine by installing through the CP.

Thanks again
Alan

 And what does grep -r exclude /etc/yum* return?  What control panel is

Re: [CentOS] Centos 6.0 , DRBD

 Bear in mind that RHEL kernel is not stock kernel, 
 there are number of back-ported patches in it. It is safer to use a 
 package with applied RHEL specific patches (if necessary) done by people 
 working with RHEL kernel regularly.

Starting in CentOS 6 one cannot see the patches that are applied to the kernel 
by upstream as they are slip streamed into the kernel source tree.

Therefore one should test, test, test, test...

BTW Building the RPM directly from DRBD sources is fully supported by Linbit. 
Installing an RPM compiled by a third party, not so much.

[CentOS] Virtual host package, command line, I need help

2011-10-12 Thread Bob Hoffman
I am at wits end with this KVM. It is hard to get the information needed 
to do this properly with centos 6 and KVM since it is so new and the 
googling of 'KVM' brings up everything except kernel based virtual machines.

What I have done...
1) my cpus have virtualization
2) centos 6, selected 'virtual host' package
3) it goes to command line
4) I have made virtual guests with virt-install, in LVM folders, not images
5) 'cannot display' is all I get from command line

The packages installed seem to have many gnome and vnc rpms. (and 
x-windows stuff too)
Virt-manager was installed but only produces errors when run from 
command line

I am unable to get anything past getting the guest running since I 
cannot open any kind of display.

I have been able to easily do this in a gnome desktop, but figure 
command line is going to be less overhead for the server.

I have added --vnc and tried some other things, but for the life of me I 
cannot figure out how to get a graphic or text install to come up on the 
local machine to save my life.

With all the gnome packages (and there are quite a few) that were 
installed with the 'virtual host' package I figured something would come 
up, but all attempts have failed miserably. I am stuck in command line 
with no way out.

I do plan on putting up a step by step video when I finally get one 
working, but after a few days of this (and seeing hundreds of websites 
with others having the same issue) I am wondering if anyone has ever got 
it working and what they did?

This is just a pure install of centos 6, 'virtual host' package, command 
line, yum updated, able to make guests, no video options working for me.

what is the magic command to bring up some of that gnome stuff for 
virt-manager or to just see the install window for a guest??

any help appreciated and most welcomed.

Thanks.
