Re: [CentOS] Intel igb driver question

2012-03-20 Thread Lisandro Grullon
I am not sure, but I was having a lot of problems with the stock driver in 
6.2...I updated to the latest 3.3.6 and it all seems normal now.

>>>  3/20/2012 12:38 PM >>>

Does anyone here know which CentOS release added support for 8086:1521,
some I350 class device? We cannot get it to work under 5.4/igb driver

5.8 driver is 3.0.6-k2-2 and current is 3.3.6.

Re: [CentOS] Storage - posibilities?

2012-01-14 Thread Lisandro Grullon
I hope you will be clustering those storage arrays since email is such a vital 
service for any organization. What are your current choices? I don't think 
there would be any major issues as long as you plan you current and long term 
capacity needs. Let us know what are your plans at the moment.

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?

Best regards,
R.

Certainly something of concern James...the best thing for us is to keep digging

for RHEL 6.x appears very limited in a cluster like fashion. keep us posted if

I've been pulling my hair out about this, and its just one of many 
things that has driven me nuts within 6.0.  I was able to get this 
working in 5.6, but unfortunately, that is a route I can't take for this 
project because the powers that be are concerned about future support 
(i.e. updates).  I personally just want what works and what will work.

I've come across other somewhat viable solutions, but I'm also kind of 
limited in the options I can take, because without a web interface (or 
god forbid a GUI) I'm concerned that no one else would ever know what is 
going on with the systems/cluster.

Hi James,
I have been having all sort of issues playing with conga is 6.x as well. To the 
point that I am giving up on it until I find a how to properly configure this .

>>> James Edwards  9/8/2011 9:36 AM >>>
Hi all,

I've spent the past little while attempting to setup Conga on a two node 
CentOS 6 cluster.  While I do have the cluster up and running, I'm 
running into problems attempting to start services through luci on 
either node.

A little background information:
-Both nodes have dual NICs, one interface on each node will be used for 
the WAN, the other is a private gigabit crossover link between the nodes.
-Both nodes are in /etc/hosts
-The nodes are up to date, and both are running x86_64
-SELinux and iptables have both been disabled
-To get the cluster running, luci, ricci, and their dependencies were 
installed, and 'service start ricci', then 'service start luci' where 
issued.  ricci created certs when first run.

The problem is: I've successfully created an IP resource through luci, 
but when attempting to start it through 'Services', it fails to start 
and I get the following error in /var/log/luci/luci.log:

07:32:33,648 INFO  [luci.controllers.cluster] User "root" started 
service "ip failover" in cluster "MailCluster"

When I connect to port 1 using openssl, I receive 
'Clients_SSL_certificate_required' and the connection closes.

Also, netstat reports:
tcp0  0 :::1

I hope I've provided enough information, but any input or thoughts would 
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
James

I would download Parted Magic from
http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=downloads

Copy it to a CD.

Boot from that CD. It runs in RAM.

After setting the screen size form an icon on the left side, run GPARTED
which will give you a clearer understanding of your hard disk drive.

Good Luck,

I hope you have good backups, print the partition table and reload the OS in

Alternatevely, you can always try installing X window system from init 3, try 
doing a yum grouremove "X Window System" "Desktop" -y && yum groupinstall "X

Thank you peter for the input...I don't think its the motherboard as I
have 5 of these boxes and they all experiencing the same problem
(running the latest bios). I tried switching the RAM around and did
manual timing at 667 in the BIOS, hope this fixes the problem. Kingston
won't be too happy if I tell them that there memory is not working in my
systems specially when we talking about 512GB of memory. Let's see what
happens, I will report back as I monitor this situation.

Re: [CentOS] Problem getting eth0 up

2011-08-17 Thread Lisandro Grullon
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. Best of luck to you.

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?

I'll be working on getting the CentOS 6 installation automated via kickstart 
later this week and hope to resolve all these issues before then.

Thanks for all the help/pointers,
Alfred

Any led on the motherboard (even better if next to a RAM slot)?
Usually, the best (if you can) is to swap RAM modules.
If the error follows the RAM module; it is a module problem.
If the error stays at the same position, it is the motherboard.

Re: [CentOS] Problem getting eth0 up

2011-08-16 Thread Lisandro Grullon
Is you network card even loaded when you type "ifconfig -a" in the $hell? Give 
us more details as to what you are doing to get the DHCP address.

>>> Alfred von Campe  08/16/11 4:57 PM >>>
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?

I guess you don't need that line as the xorg.conf file is no longer used.

Re: [CentOS] When are Logwatch errors really errors

2011-01-19 Thread Lisandro Grullon
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. I got the feeling that smartd is being evil to us.

The local library was originally setup with Ubuntu, but the tech geek
who set it up was NOT very good at maintaining things (applying
updates, doing basic admin stuff).  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.  The fact that
stuff is not bleeding edge is not something that really has much
effect for most people.

*I* use CentOS on *my* desktop AND on *my* laptop.

Re: [CentOS] Troubles for an non-IT beginner

2011-01-19 Thread Lisandro Grullon
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!

Means in your opinion, for a stable OS, cent OS is better. 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!!

Test 5 is the most stressfull for exercising memory. You can

I have a server right now which passed three memtest iterations but 
throws intermittent errors on one DIMM when it gets warm enough (warm 
enough being about 2 or 3 C warmer than the normal system temp under 
full stress test load with all covers on in my build environment).

It isn't really common - but it does happen.

If its two servers doing the same, then I guess it's not likely they both
have the same hardware problem. The thing is, that's not something centos is
going to do on its own, so it's some program that's been added, or some
common bios setting that's wrong.

Do they connect to a UPS with a serial/usb cable?

See if that is owned or at least writeable, by named.  I vaguely
remember running into something similar, and that was the issue--the
file wound up being owned by root and not writeable by named. 

I fear I don't remember the details well.

yum runs, it's just telling you that there are unresolved dependencies.
First, I think I'd clean all; then, it may be that you need to add another
repository. Finally, you might have to uninstall some stuff, then try to
reinstall - I'd do the topmost level (the audio player, say), and let it
decide what all it needed

[CentOS] Yum packages error.

2011-01-14 Thread Lisandro Grullon
Dear group,
Last night I was playing around with my home desktop trying to get the sound to 
work and somehow I broke some dependencies, now yum update would not run. Can 
someone help me troubleshoot this. This is the output I am getting from yum 
update. Thank you in advance.

Since the RHCE exam is based on RHEL, that would be the best OS to work
with.  If you don't want to shell out the money for RHEL, then CentOS 5
would be the next choice.

[CentOS] Server reboots unexpectebly.

2011-01-14 Thread Lisandro Grullon
Dear group,
I am in the process of configuring 2 new servers. They are running Centos 5.5 
and for the last three days they have been rebooting unexpectedly, can you 
point me in the right direction what to look for in the logs. I have been 
checking /var/log/messages but don't see anything that hint me any clues why 
this is happening. Your input is much much appreciated. Lisandro

The last time I was given a choice, I used rsnapshot to back up to

Hi

Try to create an account with UID 0 and try if Backup Exec accept
this. Report back if it works. You may also ask this question at the

Re: [CentOS] parted usage

2011-01-11 Thread Lisandro Grullon

What filesystem are you planning to use, I am hoping for XFS in such a large 
volume.
>>>  1/11/2011 4:41 PM >>>
Hello again,

Been an interesting day.

I'm attempting to use parted to create a partition on a 28TB volume  
which consists of 16x2TB drives configuired in a Raid 5 + spare, so  
total unformatted size is 28TB to the OS..

However upon entering parted, and making a gpt label, print reports  
back as follows;

Model: Areca ARC-1680-VOL#000 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdc: 2199GB
Sector Size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Why is the disk reporting ~2TB?

Should I be using another partitioning tool for such a large volume?

Re: [CentOS] how to recreate eth0 - Realtek 8169sc [SOLVED]

2011-01-10 Thread Lisandro Grullon
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.

This is purely cause the ADSL router in the office is on the

onboard one since I had to take everything out of the 1U chassis,


which doesn't support more than 1 additional NIC.

This is really weird, after I installed the 2nd D-Link card and booted
up the server everyone could work again. But I noticed and eth2 being
loaded as well, which could only make sense if the onboard NIC was in
fact still working. And it was. So I took out the D-Link, deleted
eth2, rebooted and it worked again as normal.

Why would this happen, or have happened in the first place? Why would
a NIC just loose it's drivers like that?

Re: [CentOS] how to recreate eth0 - Realtek 8169sc [SOLVED]

2011-01-10 Thread Lisandro Grullon
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. Two cents.

I like your analogy David..." rock is too small to be turned around now" I 
think you put it in the right context. It is always a good idea to check on 
dmesg upon boot and make sure those modules are loaded as David mentioned. Try 
to start from the beginning to troubleshoot the problem. Tow cents.

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

Re: [CentOS] Netinstall & NFS using local server.

2011-01-05 Thread Lisandro Grullon
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. Also make sure you tweaked 
around you /etc/sysconfig/nfs file, I noticed that by default you need to have 
some of the stuff from there un-comment for it to work, I will post my file so 
you can use it as a skeleton to change yours. If you have any questions let me 
know and I will try to help you out.

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

*Don't*. From painful experience, the NFS is very fragile to local
network interruptions and tends to leave unreleased mountpoints
reported on the NFS server, which makes getting meaningful monitoring

What is the actual path you are giving it? Are you looking at the top
of the relevant NFS exported directory? And did you pout all the
contents of the ISO image there, are are you doing somehing stranger?

Did you actually mount the ISO file, to expose the directory structure
to the netinstall script? I don't think it can read ISO's directly,
but I could be wrong?

Re: [CentOS] Netinstall & NFS using local server.

I tried both way, I mounted the ISO to /test then copy its full content to the 
root of my export and even left the ISO there just in case. I still see the 
error "That directory does not seem to contain a CentOS installation tree", do 
I have to dd the ISO I just did a simple cp -rf *

[CentOS] Netinstall & NFS using local server.

2011-01-04 Thread Lisandro Grullon
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.

[r...@zeus DVD]# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel

When I try loading the net-install disc from the client i get to the area where 
I specify the Ip of the server and the NFS path in the server, hitting enter 
returns "That directory does not seem to contain CentOS installation tree", I 
triple check the ISO and I know its there with all appropriate permissions. Can 
someone tell me what am I missing? I have spend all day trying to get NFS 
working in the local vlan, i know that all ports are open within the vlan at 
the routers level. Any clues?

2011-01-03 Thread Lisandro Grullon
This was very helpful Akemi...I was loading centos in two other identical 
servers today and was having such a hard time loading it from DVD, DVD appears 
to be crashing, I even re-downloaded the image 3 times from three different 
mirrors and burn them with different applications (Nero, Roxio, and poweriso), 
worse case scenario it must be something with the Memorex DVD Media. Anyway,  
after two hours of trying I decided to do a network install and everything went 
flawless. Good to have many options, Centos rocks!

This is not a CentOS bug. 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.

this may be a bug in the loading process. I did install this system with Centos

The centos has support for this controller by default, I just had to do

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

I don't think LSI has proprietary drivers.. they provide the sources,
and also pre-compiled driver disks for some linux distros.

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.

Thank you Nico, i think at this point Centos will be my next testing platform. 
Sounds good so far.

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.

And to cover your ass.

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.

Are you installing CentOS to boot off this controller, yes or no?

Download the driver, you get a dd disk for new installs when your root boots 
off the controller
and an rpm can you use after, and or if the controller is not backing your root.

2010-12-14 Thread Lisandro Grullon
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. Lisandro

You're welcome.

Ah, and welcome to the world of proprietary drivers. This is something
that the OpenBSD guys do right: They ignore them. ;)

Should work similar to writing to a FDD.

Maybe you have to experiment if plugging the stick into the machine
*before* booting or when anaconda requests the driver disk works -- I
have seen machines behave differently in this regard.

[CentOS] MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e -- Centos support.

2010-12-14 Thread Lisandro Grullon
Dear centos community,
I was in the process of installing centos in a machine however during the 
install the OS is unable to see the controller "MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e", i 
noticed that LSI has some drivers for centos. Can someone guide me on how to 
load the drivers so the OS can see the controller as it loads. Thank you in 
advance. Lisandro
