Re: [Users] iscsi mpio
Im using a Equallogic iscsi SAN, and it has a special multi path driver because it uses a virtual IP for the initiator to log into, and the actual traffic ip addresses are not exposed to the initiator. I tried to install the rpm but as far as i can get is: [root@vmnode02 x86_64]# rpm -Uvh equallogic-host-tools-1.2.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm --nodeps warning: equallogic-host-tools-1.2.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 84fd3ef3: NOKEY error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Read-only file system) Is there a way to unlock the file system so i can try to install and configure this driver?

Re: [Users] Manage users without Red Hat Directory Server or IBM Tivoli Directory Server?
On 12/06/2012 10:35 PM, Charlie wrote: Supporting non-Kerberos LDAP with simple authentication and no DNS integration would significantly decrease the work required for people like Dennis. Instead of having to set up Kerberos and DNS and an LDAP provider that integrates with both, he could just set up a very simple LDAP server and use a physically secured network or SSL with self-signed keys to protect his authentication traffic. There are already LDAP servers that use simple backends, including an OpenLDAP variant that uses /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow instead of a db. If the requirement for Kerberos and DNS directory integration were removed, and simple authentication worked, you would be able to support pretty much anything out there in the linux/unix world. That way oVirt wouldn't have to reinvent any wheels, and people like Dennis would have significantly less costly and time-consuming rebuilding of their networks to do before being able to implement oVirt. I agree. hopefully we'll get to fix this soon. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [Users] iscsi mpio
Hi, I can give you some information on multipathing on RHEV-H, as I don't have ovirt-node installed at the moment. Multipath packages are installed on the hypervisor, but vdsm overwrites multipath.conf. To prevent this you have to set the following tags: # RHEV REVISION 0.7 # RHEV PRIVATE Search for MPATH_CONF_TAG in multipath.py file to get correct RHEV REVISION number. After changing multipath.conf to fit your needs make it persistent for reboots: # persist /etc/multipath.conf You can check multipath status with: # multipath -ll mpathb (b00015521f5d4) dm-0 Intel,Multi-Flex size=96G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=50 status=active | `- 0:0:0:1 sdb 8:16 active ready running mpatha (222140001553601d1) dm-1 Intel,Multi-Flex size=20G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=50 status=active | `- 0:0:0:0 sda 8:0 active ready running I hope this helps.
