Hi all,
I need to assign persistent names to some scsi disks on one host
(CentOS 5.3 fully patched), but I can't because scsi_id doesn't returns
any results. For example:
[r...@c5srv01 etc]# scsi_id -u -g -s /block/sda
[r...@c5srv01 etc]# scsi_id -u -g -s /block/sdb
[r...@c5srv01 etc]# scsi_i
Hi all,
sorry if this question gets duplicated, I can't seem to get
e-mails to the list.
I've installed vnc-server and kde-desktop but there appear to be no
fonts available. All the text is little boxes.
What else do I need to install to get the fonts?
thanks

All right.. So the /etc/sysconfig/network is the right place for changing
hostname.
The change in /etc/hosts is to map new hostname with IP address.
