Sent: Jan 14, 2012 4:56 AM Hi all. Currently I am administering a mail cluster in which messages are stored on software RAID shared with NFS. There are several NFS servers, every one of them exports a part of all mail files for a specific frontend with postfix. We are thinking about replacing these storage hosts with one solution, maybe a storage array with appropriate disk space and I/O capacity. What are pros and cons of that solution? Do storage arrays have appropriate I/O capacity (X*software RAID)? Does it scale good? Does storage capacity also scale good in those solutions?

Re: [CentOS] Problem getting eth0 up
Alfred, I would not delete network manager, it would be better if you stop it "service NetworkManager stop" and disable from booting "chkconfig NetworkManager off"it can turn a useful tool for troubleshooting in the future. In a second note about the multi-NIC, i would focus in the actual card that have the connectionshere at work we have system with 8 NIC for redundant links, but my main focus is in the actual ports that have connectivity. Take a look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.focus in the ifcfg-ethx that is actually working in your box. Don't forget that you can always use system-config-network-tui as an alternative to using the GUI, as long as you have it install "yum install system-config-network-tui -y".I think you are in the right path, let us know how it turn out. In reference to the host name, take a look at the file /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg_ethx to assign host name informationI hope I didn't confuse you morethe Redhat documentation is rocksolid, take a glance at it.

I ended up re-installing the system from DVD this morning (don't have my kickstart server set up yet), and this time I noticed a "Configure Network" button in one of the screens. It was there that I enabled a setting to start the network on boot, and now it's working "out of the box". I can't stop to wonder why upstream decided to make this optional. Who doesn't want their network up, especially because it's not obvious how to start it once you are logged in? But the story doesn't stop there. When I enabled the network during the installation, the connection name was "System eth0". When I logged in (as root, because this is just a test system and I hadn't configured local or network accounts yet), the network was running but using a connection named "Wired connection 1" and I had two ifcfg-X files: # cat network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=bc:30:5b:e7:a7:1c NM_CONTROLLED=yes ONBOOT=no BOOTPROTO=dhcp TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes IPV6INIT=no #cat network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1 HWADDR=BC:30:5B:E7:A7:1C TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEFROUTE=yes PEERDNS=yes PEERROUTES=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=no NAME="Wired connection 1" UUID=44c68048-52ba-4e5e-807f-adf8a881552f ONBOOT=yes LAST_CONNECT=1313586374 Why on earth would NM create another config file for the same interface? Also, how do I tell NM to include the DHCP_HOSTNAME variable in the config file so that my DHCP server creates a DNS entry? I think I don't like the NM "overhead" in CentOS 6. Is it just a matter of doing a "chkconfig --del NetworkManager" to get rid off it?

Re: [CentOS] When are Logwatch errors really errors
Hi jason, Thank you for pointing this out. I am running 5.5 in 5 new boxes suddenly the boxes would start randomly rebooting. Checking the logs point out to smartd in all the boxes. I should all of them out except one. In that one I disable and shutdown smartd and the machine has been running ok for 5 hours, could smartd causing init 6 calls, if so, why isn't syslogd catching those calls. All that pointed to smartd was the last call before reboot. You can see my post at https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=29777&start=0#forumpost123773 For now I am leaving smartd off and will monitor if it keep rebooting, 5 hours have passed and things are still running. I will report back in the thread when the 24 hour mark ticks.

When I took over administrating things and set up the new incarnation of 'thin clients', I installed CentOS and with proper maintaince things run much more smoothly. The 'desktop' systems are used by patrons and library staff people alike (not techy geeks!). Things are stable and reliable.

Re: [CentOS] Troubles for an non-IT beginner
Dear Parshwa, I tend to agree with you in some of your points. I migrated my systems from ubuntu to centos and I could not be more happy. off course I have been force to learn the new places where things are "the redhat way" but not problem since the usual tools continue to exist in both platforms. I have decided to run Centos in all my machines thus far, I do have some applications that only run in Windows, in those cases I keep a Virtualbox instance to use those particular applications when needed otherwise I try keeping everything in Centos as native. Do not get me wrong, centos is an "IT" operating system but it could equally be a tool of choice for "non-IT" individuals as long as they are willing to search, read, and ask questions when all else fails. Best of luck and Centos rocks! >>> Parshwa Murdia 01/19/11 10:32 AM >>> On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 4:25 PM, Christopher R Webber wrote: > I find that in places where I don¹t have latest and greatest hardware, > CEntOS makes a much better Desktop OS than Ubuntu.

I no doubt agree with the fact its really a personal choice and like me (from not IT or computers), I at first would see the ease of use (yes, probably because I have come from Windows, totally GUI). I like (as what I have found reading and comments I got) Cent OS is secured, stable and an excellent OS, but if you talk of easiness, I guess Ubuntu is above in ranking, where I only talk of ease of use and again its totally the wish of the individual one who is going with what distro. But as for a person, who is really not from IT or uses computers more frequently but want to use one Linux distro, I can say that anyone be it, Cent OS or Ubuntu or even Fedora, at least it is Linux!! -- Regards, Parshwa Murdia Making the simple complicated is commonplace, making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's innovation.. -C Mingus ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] how to recreate eth0 - Realtek 8169sc [SOLVED]
Tommy, I think your scenario only pertain to those of us that clone macs with different prefixes, we are assuming that rudi is using the original MAC from the actual device. Not two macs are equal unless you change the physical device parameters via mac-changer/modification. Let's hope he is not aliasing the original mac with a multi-fake mac group link to the original NIC. >>> Tommy E Craddock Jr 1/10/2011 8:54 AM >>> Hey, If it happens again, or maybe it might show in /var/log/messages, if there was a MAC address conflict in the ifcfg files. I've seen where eth0 won't come on as the MAC address set in the cfg file wasnt matching. Some times it fails with a message on an ifdown ifup, sometimes it doesn't. Now that eth2 was created and the MAC is matching it works. The pieces line up but doesn't mean that it was happened. Just an idea. Tommy C.

Re: [CentOS] how to recreate eth0 - Realtek 8169sc [SOLVED]
Rudi, Sounds like a module conflict/misconfiguration, but anyway glad its working back. have you upgrade this system with the latest kernel build. I am guessing both onboard NICs are the same brand, take a look at messages and see if the card give me problems in the future. make sure you look for packet drops or errors that may hinder a bad NIC in the near future. Put your admin hat on a design a good plan to tackle this issue so you don't sweet it in the near future.

Re: [CentOS] how to recreate eth0 - Realtek 8169sc
I like your analogy David..." rock is too small to be turned around now" I think you put it in the right context.

My immediate hunch is ... and I'm sorry to say it ... but your NIC is often referred to as Realcrap NICs - unfortunately that's not without a reason. However, check what lspci says. If you don't see your NIC there, it is most likely a hardware issue (or caused by BIOS changes). If you see it, then look closely in dmesg for anything related to loading the kernel module for this NIC. See if that spits out any error messages. You may also try to reload your NICs kernel module (modprobe -r && modprobe ). Another thing is to figure out what you did before it stopped working. If you want to say "I did nothing" and that means you rebooted your box, upgraded packages or other things which might sound safe and innocent, it might just as well be connected. The only times I've experienced issues and where I really did nothing, it was related to physical hardware issues. But those times where I did "nothing" (rebooting, upgrading, innocent configuration changes) and got troubles ... it was always connected to that I did the "nothing" thing. Sometimes even disabling "useless features" in BIOS turned out to disable quite a useful feature after all. So no rock is too small to be turned around now. Go carefully through all your changes you did before it stopped working. kind regards, David Sommerseth ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Netinstall & NFS using local server.
ok, playing around with netstat I figure all the ports that need to be open in iptables for this thing to work, I figure having the firewall down was too big of a risk so why not figuring out the ports and opening them in iptables and sharing the knowledge with you guys. The following ports are to be open: 111 tcp/udp 32803 tcp/udp 32769 udp 892 tcp/udp 875 tcp/udp 2049 tcp/udp If I only mentioned tcp or udp after the port it means either or both, if you see one/two it means both protocols must be enable.

Now, Let us distinguish between first install in any setup and future installs/re-installs Now the first install part. This is the long way. at least. full install preferred. once and highly recommended -- helps later in troubleshooting network scenario quickly through the first machine. Let us call this Machine FirstFullCentos for this example. Now one needs an existing server -- say like FirstFullCentos to carry out further installs.

Re: [CentOS] Netinstall & NFS using local server.
Thank you for the responses, still I don't find an answer. I am learning Centos from the ground up, I need to learn how to install this via NFS. I am aware that FTp and HTTP and options available, but what is the point of having NFS during the install if it doesn't work. I need to find a way to get the installation going at least for learning purposes. If you have any clues give me a hand, I am not planning to have to running in my environment but at least i would have the concept under my belt.

[CentOS] Netinstall & NFS using local server.
Dear CentOS community, I have install centos via CD, DVD and Directly off the net via http and FTP. Now I want to do a NFS install from a local server and a client. Both, client and server are in the same vlan 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0. The server has a static 10.14.10.15 address and the client gets its own address via DHCP. I download the DVD image from one of the mirrors and placed it under /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso which is a dedicated partition on the server to hold all images. After that I exported the usual entries under /etc/exports and reloaded NFS using /sbin/service nfs reload. This is what my exports file looks like: [r...@zeus DVD]# cat /etc/exports /centos-media/centosdvd64 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash) /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash) After doing so, I also modified the entries under IPtables to allow traffic in 111 and 2049 at the UDP/TCP level and restarted the service as shown bellow.

As stated in the KB articles quoted in the bug report: https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-31516 https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-38013 the patch is in the kernel-2.6.18-194.3.1 and onward. CentOS/RHEL 5.5 comes with kernel-2.6.18-194 which has the bug. RHEL-6's kernel is much newer at 2.6.32-71, so it does not have this bug. Therefore to get around this issue, as suggested in one of the KB articles, you first install CentOS *5.4* and then update it to the current kernel thus skipping the problematic kernel.

I did install this system with Centos by itself and it load ok, but the virtual machine its not loading and it just keep crashing with the same error as the bug you provided/posted. Maybe someone can shine some light on this.

[CentOS] Centos 5.5 - Kernel Panic while booting.
Dear centos community, I was in the process of loading the latest 5.5 release of centos in a VMWARE ESX 4.1 host as my first virtual machine, suddenly while booting I got a panic error with the following on screen. Can someone point me in the right direction. This machine has 24 cores and I allocated 1 for Centos to use with 1024MB of memory. Any clues or workaround to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

Re: [CentOS] Antwort: MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e -- Centos support.
The centos has support for this controller by default, I just had to do some tweaking in the actual controller in order to see the virtual console. I think it was my mistake all along to get this thing going, my box is flying using Vmware ESX 4.1, the nxt step is to configure centos, redhat, windows 2008 R2, debian, ubuntu and all the other goodies I am testing, opps almost forgot Solaris 11 express and Opensolaris. Testing time for me.

I assume RHEL/CentOS 5.5 does not (yet) contain a driver for that HBA, so they're making it easier to use that HBA. In the future (maybe in RHEL/CentOS 5.6) the driver is probably included in the distro, out-of-the-box. -- Pasi > Timo > > > Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® > > > > -Original Message- > > From: Timo Schoeler > > Sender: centos-boun...@centos.org > > Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 15:33:22 > > To: CentOS mailing list > > Reply-To: CentOS mailing list > > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Antwort: MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e -- Centos support. > > > > thus Lisandro Grullon spake: > >> Thank u andrea for the response, but unfortunately a floppy its not > >> an option in my box.

No. It's not. CentOS lacks a number of the clustering features available to RHEL, which are burdened by non-open-source licenses or patents. RHEL is also investing considerable money in development, which is helpful to support, especially if you need bleeding edge drivers (as someone just needed here for a new SAS controller), and for which you'd have to hope Google has an answer or you find someone like, well, *me* to bundle you a new version nad fix it for you. CentOS is also much, much faster to update once the updates are published, and to use OS image building tools like "mock", because of the distributed source repository rather than the burdensome DRM involved in the RHN registration tools. CentOS also publishes kernels with NTFS and similar support that RHEL has been leery of. > So, the price of RedHat is money, the price for CentOS is patience. > The product sold by RedHat is support, the product 'sold by' CentOS is > self-support. > The relative value of the two arises from your ability to support your > systems.

Re: [CentOS] MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e -- Centos support.
Yes, the entire install will be done from a box using this controller and 10 SATA HDDs. Probably will load a mirror from two disks partitions to have some fault tolerance them do the rest of my partitions using LVM. Just having a difficult time loading the LSi driver from the loading process. I wish this can be done from a USB stick since the machine does not have a floppy. >>> "Joseph L.

Re: [CentOS] Antwort: MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e -- Centos support.
Timo, Its interesting, I am presently attending a conference in NYC and in one of the tables I saw the redhat vendor. My first question to them was " What do you think about centos", they reply "You are using a distribution without support and that is prompt to failure..." I don't think this is an accurate statement is it? Anyway to make the story short, they keep telling how bad centos is for our datacenter and that I should consider adopting redhat which is more "robust", offers "virtualization" and nearly real-time support for its customers. I didn't go the extra mile to ask for pricing but would appreciate your input about what they said about centos.
