Hi all, How can I boot a XEN domU guest into safe mode? One of our servers was forcefully shutdown, and it seems like one of my VM''s could be corrupt, or something. When I boot it up, I get the following on the console: Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Setting up other

Hi, I am looking for an offline accounting package recommendation, please. I enjoyed using Xero accounting, but need something that's offline, and where the data remains my property. Having used Quickbooks on Windows in the past, I am looking for something similar. Any recommendations? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers Website: http://www.rudiahlers.co.za

Hi, One of my servers in a IDC in another country mysteriously went down this morning, and when I contacted the IDC, I was told that XEN doesn''t boot up, as follows: [QUOTE] This is error message on the screen " Error 19: Linux Kernel must be loaded before initrd" Server is currently up with 2nd kernel.

Hi all, Does anyone know of a good & free rsync type program for Windows platforms? Like most of us, I need to work on both Windows & Linux environments, and would like to sync some data (music, videos, photos, documents, thunderbird profiles, FF bookmarks, etc) between a USB HDD, my Linux (CentOS + KDE) PC, and Windows Laptop at the office. I found a program called Toucan (which also

Hi all, I'm looking for a (preferably free) alternative to SME / Clark Connect. I basically need the following: - firewall - nat - VPN - bandwidth limiting / monitoring - email (SMTP / POP3 / IMAP) & groupware - file & printer sharing - RAID support - if possible fail-over / high availability support. I need to support about 15 - 30 (some part time) students, so I would like to keep

Hi all, I see one of our switches doesn't want to respond to HTTPS or SSH commands, and I know it's connected to a server via a serial cable. I'm 3 hours drive from that server at the moment, so how can I connect to it from the Linux server, via SSH? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

Hi all, I'm just curios and would like some input from the community on this one. We're busy budgeting for a couple of new servers and I thought it would be good to try out the Core i7 CPU's, but see the majority of them don't offer VT-d, but just VT-x. Looking at the LGA1366 range, only the "Intel lga1366 i7 980XE" (from the list of what our suppliers stock) have VT-d,

Hi all, I've been asked by a college to setup a monitor to monitor a Windows network, but on internet usage. They want to have detailed usage, i.e. on a per IP / PC basis, and if possible to get stats for every protocol, and see over a period of time what goes on. My first though wat ntop, which does all of this, but it doesn't save the data in a DB, so if the server reboots the stats

Hi all, I have a server, with an Intel DG35EC motherboard, Q9300 CPU, 8GB Kingston DDRII RAM which can't take a lot of load. I have 4 XEN VPS's on there, which doesn't consume more than 4GBM RAM at this stage. Yet, the machine sky rockets at some times. I've moved the XEN VPS's to another server, with 4GM RAM, and it doesn't cause the same problems. So, apart from

Hi, Has anyone been succesful in installing oVirt on CentOS 5.3? While it looks like a greate virtualization package, they only support FC10, and the installation instructions are for FC9. So, has anyone installed it on CentOS yet? If so, would you mind sharing with me whether it was a problematic installation, or not really? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web:

Hi, I have a Debian 4.0 XEN dom, which is giving me some strange errors on the kernel when I try and use iptables, as such: stats:/etc/snmp# iptables -L -v Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.15.el5xen/modules.dep modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented modprobe: Can''t locate module ip_tables

Well, you have two options: 1) If your hardware supports VT, you can boot this in a Xen HVM domU (fully virtualized). To do this, you need to make sure that the initrd images in the Linux partition are set up correctly to support the PIIX IDE/ATA chipset and that your root and fstab entries use the correct device. 2) If you can install a Xen domU kernel into the Linux partition install, you can

Hi all, Does anyone know, if it's possible to reroute all (i.e. HTTP / FTP / DNS / SMTP / POP3 / IMAP / etc) from an ADSL connected machine via another server, which is currently hosted with IS and has full internet access? i.e. Can I setup another machine, on a different public IP than the dynamic ADSL IP as default gw?

Hi, We have a server which locks up about once a week (for the past 3 weeks now), without any warning, and the only way to recover it, is to reset the server. This causes unwanted downtime, and often software loss as well. How do I debug the server, which runs CentOS 5.2 to see why it locks up? The CPU is an Intel Q9300 Core 2 Quad, with 8 GB RAM, on an Intel Motherboard The last few entries

Hi all, I would like to know if I could share some space on on of my servers, to another server(s) using the iSCSI protocal? I can see that CentOS can connect to an iSCSI server, but can it act as a iSCSI server? Is so, does anyone have some good HOWTO / tutorials / docs on how to set it up? I'm running CentOS 5.2 -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

Hi, I need to virtualize a physical machine (Debian Etch 32 bit) to run on Centos 5.4 64 bit. Can I do that? I mean can a full virtualized DomU 32 bit run on a 64 bit Dom0. Thanks in advance!! -- -- Open Kairos http://www.sergiobelkin.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -
