Did you verify that this was working before applying those settings in the NSA guide? What does/is VMM "claiming" ... are you seeing only fully virtualized and not paravirtualized as a selection or what is the problem that you are encountering? I am not an expert on KVM, but when I install a KVM VM in Virtual Machine Manager, I have to select "Fully Virtualized" initally, then if I want to install the virtio (paravirtualized) drivers, I need to do it like this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/centos-rhel-linux-kvm-virtulization-tutorial/ http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Virtualization/chap-Virtualization-KVM_restrictions_and_support.html I am fairly sure that only if you are running Xen will you actually see a "Paravirtualized" selection in Virtual Machine Manager ... however I would suggest that you use KVM and not Xen as KVM is where RHEL Virtualization is moving towards and Xen is being moved away from. The BIOS of many machines can "disable" virtual machine extensions (also called other things ... usually with Virtual, Virtual Technologies, or VT in the name). According to KVM (link below), sometimes certain settings do need to be turned off while others need to be on, so there may be a specific set of on and off that make it work on this type of machine. So, it is possible for vmx to show up in the cpu flags but for it to be disabled. Specifically, some Dell machines need "Trusted Computer" or "Trusted Execution" enabled as well. http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/FAQ#.22KVM:_disabled_by_BIOS.22_error Verifying the latest version of the BIOS is installed can be very important for memory sizes greater than 4 GB of RAM and proper APIC operation on Linux as well. If you need to flash the BIOS on a Dell machine that has Linux installed, I use a "Free DOS" iso to boot from and put the Dell BIOS on my USB key, which is normally detected as C: or D: on my machines when booting the "Free Dos" ISO. I use fdfullcd.iso from here (use the LiveCD and do NOT install Free DOS on your main drive :D): http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/ Some machines (if Linux is supported on them) have the ability to flash the BIOS via Linux, but I normally do it via FreeDOS anyway.

[CentOS] problems creating read-only, 'consumer' dirsrv replica
Hello, I am trying to deploy an additional read-only replica (aka. 'consumer') in a single-master dirsrv environment. The master, and the other pre-existing consumer servers, are all 'fedora-ds' running on Fedora 7. I'm trying to add a consumer running on Centos 5.5. Ultimately, I intend to replace the Fedora ds servers with Centos dirsrv servers. I'm trying to deploy the Centos dirsrv consumer without running the dirsrv-admin. I've been following the directions at http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.1/html/Administration_Guide/index.html , specifically in chapter 8. When I get to "8.7.2. Configuring Consumers from the Command Line" ( http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.1/html/Administration_Guide/Managing_Replication-Configuring-Replication-cmd.html#Configuring-Replication-Consumers-cmd ), I run into problems: 1) ldapmodify complains that I'm missing the required attribute 'nsds5replicaId'. So I add it, and guess at the replicaID number (cuz the guide says nothing about the ID). 2) even after resolving issue 1) above, I get an error: "ldap_add: No such object" The return value of the ldapmodify command is 32. The changetype of the operation is 'add', so ldapmodify knows it's trying to add an object. The input I pass to ldapmodify is just like shown in the guide, but w. the addition of the nsds5replicaId attribute mentioned in issue 1) above: dn: cn=replica,cn="dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config changetype: add objectclass: top objectclass: nsds5replica objectclass: extensibleObject cn: replica nsds5replicaroot: dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com nsds5replicatype: 2 nsDS5ReplicaId: 65535 nsds5ReplicaBindDN: uid=RManager,cn=config nsds5flags: 0 Any idea what's wrong? Do I have to first create dn: cn="dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config ? If so, how? The guide doesn't seem to have a step for that, except for when adding a 'hub' dirsrv. However, I mean to add a 'consumer', not a 'hub'. Thanks, Jon ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What tools are available for me to watch a directory. In an example, if a file is added to a directory I want to run a shell script that will do some conversation on the file to produce a second copy. I have the shell scripting down, I am not sure how to watch, realize change and kick off the script with the parameters of the directory and what was added.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.5 does not recognise SAS drives with LSI 1068E Controller
Hi Peter, I too was very undecided about using the LSI 1068e (on-board many supermicro boards) in production for this very reason. The problem is that chipset is basically unsupported by LSI and updates to it are sometimes necessary to maintain compatibility. The driver won't build sometimes on updated kernels forcing you to hold onto a particular version. Even if you could get away from that, the driver is black box and we found it to be somewhat unreliable (read: crashy). I believe even in IT mode that chipset requires a different driver (not megasr, mptsas?) and was also black box. We decided after a few update mistakes and trips to the datacenter, it wasn't worth it. I suggest instead buying a separate megaraid card (highly recommend the 92XX series) which are very well supported by the open source, in-kernel driver (megaraid_sas? megasas?). I don't believe the 1068e is a wise choice for new installations and the 4i variants run as low as $180 new. We currently run, in production, the X8DT3 with a 9240-8i card and skipped the onboard.

What's not true? That you can use the Samba keytab to acquire a ticket
and perform an LDAP operation on it's own Computer account? It
certainly is true. In fact Samba uses the keytab to authenticate with
and at least query AD services on a regular basis to perform normal
day-to-day operations.
But from looking at you other response I wonder if "net ads keytab ADD
HTTP" adds servicePrincipalName attribute values (I don't use Samba
like that so I don't know). If is supposed to, and the AD account does
not have them, then I agree, something is wrong and he should start
over. It could be a replication issue.

I don't know what the official view is on going through a CNAME but I
think that is probably a dubious practice. The proper way to handle
this scenario would be to add another servicePrincipalName value for
HTTP/www.friendly and a corresponding keytab entry for
HTTP/www.friendly@KRB-REALM.

Go easy on yourself, and : a) don't try to match the quotation marks verbatim. Instead, match them with simply a . b) use parenthesis to 'remember' a pattern that you don't want to have to specify again. E.g. to replace the path on the right-hand-side, do this: (i replaced it with a /; you could of course replace it with whatever you want) perl -i -ne 's/(^\s*\$conf\[.nagios_base.] = ).\/nagios\/cgi-bin.;/$1 \"\/\";/; print;' phpConfigFileName E.g. to delete the line outright: perl -i -ne 'print unless /^\s*\$conf\[.nagios_base.] = .\/nagios\/cgi-bin.;/;' phpConfigFileName Cheers, Jon ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Today I tried including something other than driverdisk (I put the partitioning commands in an include file), and it works fine. So it's something specific to the driverdisk command. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
