[CentOS] Emergency help needed on host network randomly stop working.

2011-10-12 Thread Magicloud Magiclouds
Hi,
  This is a Centos 5.5 host with one xen guest.
  About 2 weeks ago, the host randomly lost network connection. By
this I mean I could not connect to the services on it, or ping it.
Also was the status of the guest.
  From serial console, I connected to the host, trying to see what
happened. No clue (any error messages) in messages or dmesg.
ifdown/ifup the interface did not help, either. Only rebooting was my
only choice.
  Searching through Google, I got the information that some other guys
met similar problem, and resolved by setting stp on with the bridge
interface.
  I set it, too. And the problem still occurs.
  Any idea what I should check now?
  Thanks.

Hello Joesph,

i am a gentoo child.
So, do i have to download latest drbd source package,
then untar , and do this =

{ If you are about to build RPMs for both the DRBD userspace utilities 
and the kernel module, use: }

$ ./configure --enable-spec --with-km
$ make tgz
$ cp drbd*.tar.gz `rpm -E _sourcedir`
$ rpmbuild -bb drbd.spec
$ rpmbuild -bb drbd-kernel.spec



This would be right way for me?

And waht do i have to do on updates=? Same Procedure?

I do not see any flac-devel packages in Repoforge, only in 
Atrpms-testing. Do you have it enabled?

Can please avoid top-posting (writing at the begining?) Norm here is to 
write bellow the written tekst. And try deleting signatures etc., making 
your post shorter, easier for reading.
Thank you.

You need uvcvideo module for your Webcam: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/

It looks like it is part of the C6 kernels.

There are versions of your Webcam that do not respond well to UVC 
commands, firmware problem, no Linux cen help you with that.

UVC on Debian (you might get hints there):
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UVC

There is luvcview in Repoforge repository to test UVC devices.

I am no expert but it sounds like you might be in the early stages of hardware 
failure.

Next time this system stop responding check the following:

1. System interface state
2. Connected switch interface

If the switch shows down but the system shows up I wold start by replacing the 
NIC on the system.

Re: [CentOS] Mock - Problems building Centos5 package on Centos6 - where can I ask for advice ?

2011-10-12 Thread Morgan Cox
Hi.

Thanks I have managed to fix the issue.

Rather than modify a Fedora src.rpm - I used a Centos6 one.

I also changed the lines in the .spec file from


-
%build
# aclocal workaround - to be improved
cat `aclocal
--print-ac-dir`/{libtool,ltoptions,ltsugar,ltversion,lt~obsolete}.m4
>>aclocal.m4

# Force use of system libtool:
libtoolize --force --copy
cat `aclocal
--print-ac-dir`/{libtool,ltoptions,ltsugar,ltversion,lt~obsolete}.m4
>build/libtool.m4



to

--
%build
# aclocal workaround - to be improved

# Force use of system libtool:
libtoolize --force --copy
cat `aclocal --print-ac-dir`/libtool.m4 >build/libtool.m4

It builds fine now !

Thank you so much for your offer of help though.

Keep rocking the 'free' world,

Joseph's post was:

Yeah, but generate rpm's for final installation, its trivial.
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide-emb/s-build-rpm.html

End of the link says Build Rpm. So, install building tools and 
environment, and kernel-devel on the production system (5 years ago I 
was thought that it is not wise to do so), and compile it against your 
kernel.
And there is already built and tested "kmod-" module from ELRepo.

Just so I can answer you (all), I visited that web page and read following:
"Note that any kernel upgrade will require you to generate a new drbd-km 
package to match the new kernel."

So, my assumption that kernel upgrade without rebuilding the module 
would brake his production server was correct.

I used to use madwifi-kmdl kernel modules for my Atheros wireless radio 
card, and each time I upgraded kernel I had to upgrade/install new 
module also. Very tiresome.

Then I studied kmdl vs kmod packages and learned that kmod packages do 
not need any recompilation after kernel upgrade. They use "weak-update" 
model (essentially symlinks) as long as new kernel has same ABI as 
previous ones. Install process of new kernel checks kernel modules of 
currently installed kernels and symlinks them, avoiding need for 
building them or installing new packages (hoping they are already 
available). I was delighted when I saw that ELRepo developers use kmod 
model, no more messing with kernel modules.

That is why I suggested using ELRepo kernel module package instead of 
self-built one. Only reason I can see in building your own module is to 
use those other packages (like drbd-heartbeat).

I hope this finally clears up what I tried to say:

1. Joseph's link clearly stated it was for self building the rpm(s) so I 
did not need to visit the link to know what is on the page.

2. Developers of kernel module packages rarely use kmod approach in fear 
people will mess it up (like installing vanila kernel on CentOS sistem 
and still calling it CentOS,...). Ubuntu and Arch users especially have 
this problem, so it is safer to build for each new kernel.

3. Kernel module re-packagers from ELRepo have luxury of safely offering 
kmod packages for EL kernels, and I believe this is safest and best 
approach.

No, use elrepo, do not compile and build a rpm by yourself.
This was already done be elrepo.

I had similar problems with my server and first thing I did was to hook 
it up to Monitor and keyboard (serial is good too).

In my case, it was (probably) network cable loosing connection. I new 
that once I was able to access server via keyboard and still had no 
connection. But in my case both NIC and switch showed connection just 
not blinking.

Did reboot help? Can you prepare another switch and LAN cable? Or maybe 
cheep router so you can connect them directly and try to ping router 
(set it on the same subnet).

NIC starting to broke can also be an issue, but you should also try 
looking for newer NIC drivers in ELRepo repository, some drivers have 
small bugs.

Upgrading from 5.5 to 5.7 might also solve your problem, is it is a 
driver problem and not hardware.

its in CentOS-Base

it was late at night last night, but after posting that first message, I 
realized I'd yum upgraded the system from ~ 5.4 to 5.7, and tried the 
`yum install flac-devel` and got the error I pasted (I'd gotten it 
before the yum upgrade, too), but it went away after a yum clean all 
(I'd done this once or twice already prior to the yum upgrade).

all I really wanted was 'flac', I couldn't even see that package before 
the full update.  huh.

[CentOS] Scp and SFTP speed much difference???

2011-10-12 Thread mcclnx mcc
we have CENTOS 5.X on server A and Server B.  Both servers have Gigabit network 
card connect to same switch.

I test network speed from Server A to Server B and found speed much difference:

SFTP:   42 MB/Sec

SCP:20 MB/sec

SCP command:  scp -Crp -o CompressionLevel=1 user1@ServerB:/TMP/File1 .

Anyone know how to improve SCP speed?

disks 2TB and up have to be formatted as GPT rather than MBR, so old MBR 
tools like fdisk are useless.  use parted

I would build a LVM vg with the multi-terabyte volumes, using lvm 
mirroring, and then create an XFS lv on the vg  xfs seems 100% 
stable and high performance on centos6

don't specify compression on gigE, it will just slow you down.

scp/sftp should be virtually the same speed, all else being equal

What I'm looking for is the way to make md raid autodetect and
assemble on boot.  With fdisk, you would set the partition type to FD
for that, but I don't see an equivalent in parted.

With GPT that's set using flags.  This is done in parted with the command
"set  raid on"

I just thought of one other thing.  You'll want to read up on bios boot if
these large drives are being used for the grub boot loader.

set 1 raid on

but I was suggesting forgoing mdraid entirely, and using lvm mirroring 
(lvcreate -m 2 ... vgname)

Not booting from them, but is there a problem with kernel autoassembly
on large partitions?  I see this in dmsg:

md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: invalid raid superblock magic on sde1
md: sde1 has invalid sb, not importing!

But
mdadm --assemble /dev/md5 /dev/sde1
works fine after booting.  (The array was created with a missing
member which hasn't been added yet).

LVM seems unnecessarily complicated unless mdraid is broken on large
devices.   And I already have data on the md partition (moving stuff
from a pair of 1.5TB drives to 3TB).  If md isn't going to work, can I
put LVM on a single drive, add the data, then add the mirror (reusing
the one that now has the md partition and currently holding the data)?
 The old disks are still around but not in the machine now.

When using mdadm you don't even have to partition a drive if you are using the 
whole thing. Just make sure the block device is set to GPT in parted if it is 
not already. After creating the RAID1 get the uuid of the raid by doing mdadm 
-D /dev/dm5. Then use the following format in the /etc/mdadm.conf to have it 
auto assemble at boot.

ARRAY /dev/md5 devices=/dev/sd[e-f] uuid=$UUID_FROM_MDADM

I believe (from memory) you'd add the 2nd drive to the volume group, then

 vgextend vgname /dev/(newdisk)
 lvconvert -m 1 logicalvolumename

one nice thing about lvm mirroring is you can do it with a mix of drive 
sizes without having to worry about geometry or layout, it will simply 
ensure that each block exists on two devices

Thanks - I already had the raid and filesystem (and data) on a
partition - it just wasn't restarting at boot. The above approach with
the device names of the partitions seems to bring it up in time to
make it work when included in /etc/fstab.   That's better than
nothing, but I'd really prefer kernel autoassembly because the disks
are all in swappable enclosures and I do move things around once in a
while.  Does that just not work for large partitions?  I see that 'cat
/proc/mdstat' says 'super 1.0' on this device and none of the others.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.7 PHP upgrade

Sorry Mark, I started this upgrade project a few days ago and am stepping
back to it now that I have a little more time. I tried the php53u package
like eero suggested but the package could not be found still. I did a "yum
search php" and there aren't ANY packages that start with php, the closest
I have is phc which is the php compliler. We would love to be able to
figure this out so we can run php.activerecord.

That's why I asked you to do a list, not search (I actually haven't used
the latter), with wildcards, to get *everything* that's got php in it.

Aahhh, I forgot about base repo. When I search local mirrored repos I 
use locate (since it is set to pull file lists via NFS), but forgot 
about base repo inside ISO file.

clean all might be a good idea, but I always use escaped wildcards, so
there's no chance of shell interaction. Works fine fer me. Here's the

What bothers me is "Excluding Packages in global exclude list" he got 
when runing yum. It looks like he has active global Exclude list or 
maybe base protection including php* files.

"yum list \*php\* --disableplugin=* --enablerepo=* --showduplicates" 
might help.

I'm guessing you want to be able to ID a failed drive visually and mdadm can 
make that a challenge.

A SATA backplane likely will have a signal bus connector (Suoermicro server 
backplanes do)  but onboard controllers probably won't supply the other end  
Built servers definitely will as john points out.  Better hardware RAID HBAs 
probably shoild have the complimentary signal bus connector.  Make sure your 
system builder or supplier gets you the right cable bits - i'm pretty sure 
they're not universal.

While everyone was right, John got the "Gold Star" award for reminding me

interferes more than it ever helps when I am trying to manually install

Starting in CentOS 6 one cannot see the patches that are applied to the kernel 
by upstream as they are slip streamed into the kernel source tree.

Therefore one should test, test, test, test...

BTW Building the RPM directly from DRBD sources is fully supported by Linbit. 
Installing an RPM compiled by a third party, not so much.

[CentOS] Virtual host package, command line, I need help

2011-10-12 Thread Bob Hoffman
I am at wits end with this KVM. It is hard to get the information needed 
to do this properly with centos 6 and KVM since it is so new and the 
googling of 'KVM' brings up everything except kernel based virtual machines.

What I have done...
1) my cpus have virtualization
2) centos 6, selected 'virtual host' package
3) it goes to command line
4) I have made virtual guests with virt-install, in LVM folders, not images
5) 'cannot display' is all I get from command line

The packages installed seem to have many gnome and vnc rpms. (and 
x-windows stuff too)
Virt-manager was installed but only produces errors when run from 
command line

I am unable to get anything past getting the guest running since I 
cannot open any kind of display.

I have been able to easily do this in a gnome desktop, but figure 
command line is going to be less overhead for the server.

I have added --vnc and tried some other things, but for the life of me I 
cannot figure out how to get a graphic or text install to come up on the 
local machine to save my life.

With all the gnome packages (and there are quite a few) that were 
installed with the 'virtual host' package I figured something would come 
up, but all attempts have failed miserably. I am stuck in command line 
with no way out.

I do plan on putting up a step by step video when I finally get one 
working, but after a few days of this (and seeing hundreds of websites 
with others having the same issue) I am wondering if anyone has ever got 
it working and what they did?

This is just a pure install of centos 6, 'virtual host' package, command 
line, yum updated, able to make guests, no video options working for me.

what is the magic command to bring up some of that gnome stuff for 
virt-manager or to just see the install window for a guest??

any help appreciated and most welcomed.

Thanks.

thanks arek, but I have been through that a million times, backwards and 
forwards. I do not have
any issues making the storage, the files, the guests...

I cannot, in the command line, bring up a video or text install for the guest 
installation though.
It is almost like the user (I am root) is not allowed access to the video 
device.
I have installed x windows group and no go for any video, bounces out with 
errors.

If I go full desktop, I can easily install a guest with a video interface.

The virt host packages default install should be enough for me to do it...yet I 
get bounced
out of any video attemtpt, even text install, with 'cannot open display' and 
things like that.

There is obviously something I am missing. Perhaps this is only meant to be 
used remotely via ssh-x tunnel
and not a local install.

The errors I get are all over the net, many listed in bugzilla but shown not to 
be bugs, yet no answers.

There has to be a way to get a video or text install locally from the default 
virt host package without
installing x windows system, gnome, or kdealthough many little bits of 
those packages were installed.

it really feels like my user is not allowed to go into a graphic view of 
anything relating to guests.
at least not locally (the only way I would rather do it, do not know how to 
x-tunnel and all that)

tomorrows a new day...will try to get into the config files for a quest 
and see what I can do
sdl kept chokingI am sure it is just a configuration error.
however, most stuff is for rhel/centos 5.x and the newer packages are 
much mature and changed from the examples.

there are numerous errors in the dmesg like 'composite sync' and stuff 
relating to a grub bug, but I do not think that is it.

When I get it done, will post a vid and add to my forums for others to 
be able to just walk through it...if I ever get it
figured out.

I just hate to think about being forced to go with gnome for my 
server...yuck.
