Here is something I am currently lokoing at, and wondering if you'd considered it or if anyone here has done it. I've got a bunch of existing hardware - really good IBM stuff that is all installed with CentOS (with a few exceptions). We want to move to virtualization, but

Hey folks, We've got some new hardware and are trying to figure out what best to do with it. Either run CentOS right on the bare metal, or virtualize, or several combination options. Mainly looking at : - CentOS on bare metal - CentOS on ESXi 4.0 with local disk - CentOS on ESXi with 1 VM running Openfiler to serve disk to other VMs And want to benchmark these 3 scenarios So far all we

I saw this in the openfiler thread, and realised it is another major hole in my knowledge What do you all use for clustering, and does it run out-of-the-box with CentOS? My main areas of interest are : - DB clustering (PostgreSQL) - yeah, we're looking at commercial stuff and skytools - web server clustering - Apache on CentOS - storage clustering thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything

Hi all, I've been googling for this for a day now and I can't seem to find a coherent structured way to build a fiber channel storage box where CentOS 6.7 is used both at the fiber channel target and initiator ends. My Brocade HBA:s are installed and the driver loads just fine in both boxes. Any ideas, pointers or URL:s are more than welcome. Thanks, Joacim

/dev/rawctl is part of the "raw block device" driver interface. You need to turn on the raw device driver option (CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER) in your kernel build. I have always created a new file system from my 2.4 kernel (that has all possible modules built and properly configured to load when needed), so I don't know for sure if mkfs.ocfs will work correctly after turning on the raw

Hi, I'm looking information about using libvirt with san (fiber channel) based storage and googling for a while i don't see anything about it. I send this email in order to get advices about libvirt and shared storage We use here, for 3 years now, 8 linux centos server connected to an hitachi FC SAN (multipath devices). Each server run Xen dom0 and use SAN LUNs to store Virtual machine

Has anybody tried or knows if it is possible to create a MD RAID1 device using networked iSCSI devices like those created using OpenFiler? The idea I'm thinking of here is to use two OpenFiler servers with physical drives in RAID 1, to create iSCSI virtual devices and run CentOS guest VMs off the MD RAID 1 device. Since theoretically, this setup would survive both a single physical drive

Hi, I am doing a test setup of 11G RAC, and I am using Jeff Hunter's document to achieve this. I have 3 nodes all running Linux Redhat 4 htsscsun06-openfiler htssclin5 htssclin4 I have created the Logical Volumes on htsscsun06-openfiler - fdisk -l shows fdisk -l Disk /dev/hdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of

Please forgive the (almost?) OT post. (and the fact that I need a clue-bat) We've got a situation at one of our sites where a construction crew is likely to dig up our conduit which houses some data fiber and one pair of fiber used to tie a Definity 3gsi at a small office building to the rest of the phone system (school district). We're using a pair of Aeronets to the data network stays

Greetings, I have a 500Gig hdd with and XFS filesystem created by openfiler (which strangely switched from lovely CentOS for reasons best known to them). I fired up a Centos box with this hdd. I then did yum install kmod-xfs.i686 xfsdump.i386 dmapi xfsprogs and it wnt through. But when I try to mount this volume mount -t xfs /dev/hdd1 /mnt/test I get the error: mount: /dev/hdd1 already

Hey folks, Is there any way to fake a "yum update" just to get yum to force a download of all the files it needs, without actually installing them. I finally have a RPM cache/proxy working and I just want to populate it. The server I want to actually update cannot be updated until tomorrow but I'd like to do a fake update just to force the RPMs into my cache so they will all be

I need to set up a NAS. Got a box with a 200Gb drive ready to go. I have installed Openfiler 2.0 on it but..... I really can't add other services, like FreeRadius (keep the list simple for now). So maybe I should just stay with what I know and use Centos. Other experiences? Are there good DIY NAS instructions for Centos 5?

Greetings list friends, Just wondering if anyone is using openfiler with Xen or XCP? If so how has the experience been? Any particular points to keep in mind? thanks, CJP _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello to all. I''m setting up a high capacity farm that''s going to allow many departments of a company or project have their own resources. I have little to no control over the brand of CPU (I would have much preferred AMD) and name brand of the gear, but I do get some input on what goes in each node.

Hello Everyone, I am looking to getting converged with the local ILEC here in Canada (Bell or Telus), and was wondering if I can get some more information about typical setups. DIDs and channel offerings from third party clecs does not fit our business model and that's why we are looking to purchasing phone numbers directly from the ILEC, and manging our own PRIs for a convergence of sorts.

Hi, I'd like to use PSTN and analogic telephone with a Asterisk server which works on a LAN connected to the outside with fiber optic, on which voice stream passes too. Do I need some particular solution, some particular card to make it works or I just need a Digium or similar fxo card?

Hey folks, I'm trying to use a 5.3 box to run some JNLP apps, but all I get is a view of XML. I try doing some googling and don't come up with much other than this one thread that says I may need both 32 and 64 bit Java to run JNLP. But it is not clear to me how to do that. thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV? ? ? ? ?? - Michael Pollan,
