[CentOS] problems creating read-only, 'consumer' dirsrv replica

2011-03-16 Thread Jon Detert
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 rep

[CentOS] is there a way to make the kernel see a new ethernet device without rebooting?

2011-09-27 Thread Jon Detert
I have a VMWare ESX server with virtual machines running CentOS. I want to add an ethernet interface to one of the CentOS virtual machines. VMWare allowed me to add a virtual NIC to the CentOS virtual machine while it was running. However, the CentOS o.s. cannot see the new NIC. Is there a c

did anyone mention https://www.icinga.org/ ? I'm a long-time nagios user, but just heard about it yesterday. It is a fork of nagios, has a more modern web interface, and nagios plugins are compatible with it. It looks/sounds good. Anyone have experience with it? - Original Message -

Re: [CentOS] Will CentOS 6.1 still be supported?

2011-12-21 Thread Jon Detert
No more updates for v6.1. This is the RedHat/CentOS model. Think of the minor version numbers as 'service packs', as opposed to releases. For example, let X < Y. Then, Everything fixed in 6.x is also fixed in 6.y. However, updates new to v6.y are not made available for v6.x. - Original

[CentOS] questions about upgrading

2011-09-19 Thread Jon Detert
I'm pretty new to the task of upgrading CentOS or RedHat o.s.'s. I'm more familiar with upgrading Debian based o.s.'s. Here are my questions: 1) will yum ever upgrade the major version? I understand that there is no upgrade path from v5.x to v6.x, but is that always the case? e.g. was there

Starting maybe ~ 12 hours ago, the proverbial floodgates were thrown open on emails sent to the CentOS-announce mailing list for CentOS 5.x, all on account of individual package releases. RedHat have not done the same. What's up? Are these mistakenly released re-announcements of (previously re
