to do was add

naturally that should read

Hi
Anyone got a driver disk for a CentOS 5.1 install running on an ESX 2.5
server ?
When the install runs it seems it cant find any hdd's - In the past with
4.x i have loaded a driver disk but i cant seem to find one for 5.x
Does anyone have this running?
thanks
Did you use the LSI Logic SCSI adapter? CentOS5/RHEL5 does not
include a driver for the BusLogic SCSI adapter.
thats the adapter yes - is there any work around available here or
something available from VMware ?

Hi
I recently installed some hba's into a bunch of these 585's as they are
forming a RAC cluster - previously to this they were all using DAS
without issue.
After the qlogic cards were installed i reinstalled the OS and now once
installed the OS will not boot - the box just reboots
My fundamental question is why dump claims it cannot access what I
want it to back up. What's to say other solutions - Amanda, etc,
will work any better? I want to know how to resolve the source
problem before looking into other products. How will BackupPC or
Amanda do any better?
I have a couple C5 systems I want to back up. My plan is to, one way
or another, back them up to a C5 machine in my office. I have samba
installed on the systems to back up, the machines are mounted on the
system in my office, and a tape library hanging of the system in my
office.

I need to backup data to an HP autoloader, it needs to be *full*
backups each time so using Amanda doesn’t make sense.
Can someone point me to what utilities to use to access the
autoloader, I would rather read up on this myself as my knowledge here
is very weak. I am moving this unit
but not before you boot single user and copy all the contents across manually
and then modify /etc/fstab to reflect the new location of /var.
If I boot from single user mode and copy /var directory to new
hardiisk, What will happent to permissions?
use rsync to copy the data over
Actually, you would use dumpcycle 0 to get amanda to do full backups
every run. tapecycle should still be set to however many tapes you
have -- anything other than that and you lose amanda's ability to
track the tapes for you.
yeap - my bad

Strange problem here i think but - I can ssh in to the box fine as root

I have added this to my pam.d login file
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
my bad - this is x86_64 so

should read

The CentOS DVD images (not sure about CD images) have an images

First off I am a linux / CentOS newbies so go easy on me.
Just curious if anyone out there is running Nagios on CentOS 4.5.
I have now installed it on a second server due to issue but the issues
have come back to haunt me.
The OS is running on an IBM NetVista. Every thing in both installs
Hmm, could i remove then reinstall perl or did you have to rebuild the
server?
no its a nagios thing not a perl problem - so i just recompiled my
nagios, although this was when rpm's were not available so i rolled my
own. Why not try using some of the pre rolled rpm's ??
thanks for this - alas for me it still gives me the same issue during
the kix namely 'no network cards available for kickstart' or words to
that effect.
it seems crazy to me that HP have shipped kit that RedHat appears to
not see out of the box.

I need to recommend some backup options for a web server running
CentOS 4.1. The client prefers using a tape drive as their backup
device and has access to safe offsite storage. I was thinking of
system backups weekly and differential backups nightly but don't know
what software to recommend
As it turns out, I did this for 4.2, instead of 4.5...but here are my
notes from when I did it:

How old is the DL585? There were a bunch of firmware issues with the

That's at least the default in CentOS 5, I don't remember how CentOS 4

It's a worthless winmodem. I'd suggest throwing it in the trash and

are any good, YMMV.
