Opsware

2008-01-04 Thread Bob Bomar
Does anyone use something similar to Opsware to assist in managing their 
servers?  I have roughly 15-20 servers, Solaris, Fedora, OpenBSD and FreeBSD,
and I am looking for something that is similar to Opsware, but free/cheaper.

This is for a community college, and our budget is 0, so I'm pretty limited
on what I can buy.

 You'll get better answers if you describe what you're trying to do, as
 opposed to mentioning an obscure product and expecting people to do
 their own research.
 
 Best I can tell, you're looking for something ala cfengine or puppet?
 http://www.cfengine.org/
 http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/
 

Those look like they will help.

Basically I am looking for a way to help automate patching, installing of 
software, audits, etc...

I currently use Promise IDE and SATA cards on 4.x, 5.x and 6.x without

and support is pretty good.

 Someone suggested sudo. Using sudo will install the app as root, will it
 not? Thusly requiring root to configure it?

In order to install the port, you have to be root yes, sudo will
allow a command to be run as root, i.e. make install clean.  You 
can configure sudo to only allow the command to be run in a specific

 different LBA and CHS numbers somewhere, which it
 insists on fixing by applying the LBA number. If I
 allow PartitionMagic to fix them - the result is
 always  different. Sometimes everything is OK,
 sometimes it says 'backup all data and reformat the
 drive', which required full system reinstall (incl.
 Windows) and in some cases first I had to delete the
 FreeBSD partition with the DOS FDISK as PartitionMagic
 refused to do anything and the IBM system recovery
 refused to take off.
 
 Could anybody tell me what am I doing wrong? Is it
 wrong to use PartitionMagic in general after FreeBSD
 is installed or is it something else?

What is the purpose of using PartitionMagic after the
install?  Are you able to boot into FreeBSD and Windows?
If so, then I fail to see the problem, if not, then
what errors are you getting.

It should work, it's similar to the v20z, just more processors.

I think I may be a little confused.

Are you trying to setup a cvsup mirror?  If so, then
look at net/cvsup-mirror.  That will setup a mirror
for you, and it will ask where you want to store the
data.

If you are just wanting to pull the src tree, then
you can use anon cvs and something like:

% cd /usr/local/ncvs
% setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
% cvs login
% cvs co -rRELENG_5 src
... wait for everything to transfer ...
% cvs logout

CVSROOT is where the repository resides.  I.E. in the
example above, the repository is located at
anoncvs.FreeBSD.org in /home/ncvs.

Because that sounds like something I might be interested in doing
It's mostly about impressing women, but there are more practical 
purposes as well :-)

iTunes is on my Mac, playing music which is stored on my FreeBSD 
machine.  They are both on the same private subnet.

The practical aspect of this is that I can remove my MP3 collection 
from my Powerbook and just keep it on the FreeBSD server.

If the FreeBSD machine were not behind a firewall, yes I could play my 
iTunes collection anywhere on the internet (and I suppose with some 
tweaking of my firewall, I still could) but that would be dealing with 
much smaller bandwidth.

If there were others on my subnet, yes, they too would be able to play 
music from the same collection.

I just setup a Samba server, and setup a directory that holds my music, 
then use
Hymn (playfair) to convert m4p to mp4, then lame and some other tools
to convert to mp3, and share the music across the network.  I tried 
using Netatalk, but
ran into some problems with file name lengths, and samba works just 
fine.

What error are you getting?  Are you using root's password or the user

Look at security/sudo from the ports.

I am building a machine that connects to my stereo, to play mp3's, and
does some other stuff.  I am looking a way to add a keypad for
fast forward/rewind/stop/play/pause/next/prev, etc.  I tried hacking a
keyboard, but I didnt get too far.  The one serial port on the machine 
is taken,
so it needs to be parallel or USB.

Anybody have any ideas?

 Suppose one switch will fail, then the link on one nic will be inactive.
 Meaning is that than the second nic will become active traffic will go out

 Is this possible with freebsd, anybody got any experience with it?

What you need to somthing like Spanning Tree Protocol.  STP allows
you to use multiple NIC's simultaneously, and prevents any loops
that could be caused.

FreeBSD does not have STP to my knowledge, but OpenBSD does.

Dont feel bad.  5 years ago I asked the same question.

If you have the internet set up on the machine,
Here is what I would suggest.  Login as root:

#xf86config

If that does not work then

#cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
#make install clean

When that finishes, or the first worked, 
answer the questions, the mouse will be /dev/sysmouse,
and then do a

#startx

If that worked, then login as your user, adn run the 
%startx

And now you have X setup and running, next you can decide on what
windowmanager to use:

http://www.plig.org/xwinman/

And then you can install the one you like.

I would suggest KDE or GNOME for a new user.

 we did a mass pkg_delete with the intent of reinstalling everything.
 This worked great and the machine is very healthy now. We do however

Try a :

If you just moved the drives, and did not edit the /etc/fstab
then just boot to single user mode, and edit the /etc/fstab.
Remember that when you boot to single user mode, you will not 
have the partitions mounted, do a mount -a -t ufs to get the 
/ partition to read/write, and then you can mount the other 
partitions as neccessay, I would recommend mounting /usr and
/var so that vi will work, or you can use ed to edit the /etc/fstab.

 QMAKESPEC has not been set, so configuration cannot be deduced.
 
 upon reading the INSTALL instructions at ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/INSTALL, 
 i figured out that this was probably due to my path not being set correctly
 trolltech's docs recommend you place
 
 QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
 PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
 MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 
 export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 
 in your .bash_profile - since i'm on freebsd, the directory /usr/local/qt doesn't 
 exist.  i was confused about whether or not i needed to install the qt 3.1.2 free 
 version from tar archive downloaded off the trolltech website.  i had downloaded the 
 tar file and was halfway through installing it manually when i was informed by 
 someone on irc not to do this.
 i have kde 3.1 installed, so i have qt 3.1.1.4.  i was wondering what the correct 
 directory was to set as QTDIR in my path, so that i can use qmake and finish the 
 tutorial.  i was informed that i could get my correct QTDIR from 
 /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.kde.mk, but i can't make out from that file what the correct path 
 to my QTDIR should be.
 
 has anyone done this before?  i'd like to continue with the tutorial but am not sure 
 how to proceed
 
 thanks again
  

You can set the QMAKESPEC to /usr/X11R6/share/qt/mkspecs/freebsd-g++
or you can do:
 qmake -spec /usr/X11R6/share/qt/mkspecs/freebsd-g++ hello.pro

 vmware2 is already in ports:
 
 /usr/ports/emulators/vmware2
 
 It works fine.
 
 

I was under the assumption that there was an initiative
to actually port the app to FreeBSD, instead of running 
it in Linux compatibility mode.

 Can you get the info from your 4.7RC install? (it may just be pciconf -l
 there.)  I can't really do anything unless I can determine what the PCI
 IDs are that its looking for.
 

Sorry, I miss understood.  Here it is:

 Since you've said it can not assign the resource your best bet is to 
 disable 'PnP OS' in your BIOS and then restart the install. This was not 
 necessary for me in 4.5 (disabling PnP) but was, on the same hardware, for 
 4.6.x.
 

I have tried it both ways, enabled and disabled.

Yes, I have.  I found out that this card and another card in another

NIC problem

2002-09-17 Thread Bob Bomar

I have a dual P-200 file server that is haveing some connection 
problems.  When I ssh to the box, I login in fine, but some times
it lags for a while, but the two boxes are physically sitting next
to each other, and are on ports that are side by side on the
switch.  While I ssh out of the box from the console, to another 
box on the LAN, it is still intermitant.  Any body have any ideas?

Re: NIC problem

2002-09-17 Thread Bob Bomar

  A linksys, dc0, and the switch is a linksys 8-port, so I cant see any
  errors.  I have swaped it out with an Intel card, fxp0, but it does the
  same thing.
 
   Anything wierd in the logfiles?  Any device timeouts, eg fxp0
   device timeout?
 
 

There are no messages regarding timeouts or anything.  I have noticed
though that sometimes this box runs slower than my single P-166.

 Look for any errors on the interface you are using.
 
 Please post the results back.

Just did that, and no errors came out.  The only diffrences 
were the amount of packets sent/recieved.
