Hello everyone, If create a folder called "whatever" under /var, the context is: root:object_r:var_t /var/whatever/ That's expected as it is under /var. If I then change its type: chcont -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/whatever The context looks like: root:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /var/whatever/ My question is...Shouldn't a relabeling of the filesystem change the type

Hi, is there some easy way how to shut down vmware ESXi host? We have same apc smart 1500 and I passed usb port into one virtual linux, so it can monitor ups state via NUT. So how can i make esx server avare of low battery? Maybe using vsphere-cli utils? With regards Libor -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hello everyone, Let say 5.4 goes out today; If I fully update (today) my 5.2 system...will it be equivalent to 5.4 (all RPM packages with same version/release number?)? Or is it possible for the new point release to include NEW packages that weren't on the base relase (in this case CentOS 5)? Thanks, Jorge

Hi, I just compiled libvirt with ESX support. I can login just fine, list all the guests/domains but when I try to reboot or shutdown one of my guests/domains I get this error: virsh # reboot dbcluster1 error: Failed to reboot domain dbcluster1 error: internal error HTTP response code 500 for call to 'RebootGuest'. Fault: ServerFaultCode - fault.RestrictedVersion.summary And nothing

Hi folks, I'm trying to connect to a vSphere cluster using the information from the libvirt documentation. ------------------- $ virsh -c "vpx://root at 10.51.4.11/dc1/dc1-cluster-e01/dc1-vsphere-e04/?no_verify=1" Enter root's password for 10.51.4.11: error: internal error HTTP response code 400 for call to 'Login' error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

Hi, I'm looking for a way to use virsh to connect to vCenter/VCSA and do some simple management of the VM's in case of power loss (I'm planning to run the script upon UPS/apcd event of power failure). Looking through the virsh documentation, I didn't find 2 things: 1. Login through a script (I don't see any user/password, specially since VCSA for example requires to use

Hello guys, Did anyone noticed how green CentOS 6 is compared to the previous release? I've been running a couple of "CentOS 6" VMs (on our vSphere environment) for the last couple of weeks and noticed a BIG difference when it comes to CPU usage when the VM is completely idle. I would like to share what I've seen in our environment: PfSense 2.0 (FreeBSD) VM: 40 Mhz CentOS

Hi Matt, I was taking a look on v2v to implement vSphere and I have few questions: 1) the converter should be in: Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::VMWare ( or Vsphere) ? 2) What you think if instead to mess up with the xml converter we gonna use a XSL file that take the OVF file and transform it in KVM like xml file ? Cheers, Francesco

Dear NUT users, I recently came across an interesting effort to integrate NUT with WMware ESXI, made by Ren? Garcia. This is still rough and young, but already providing a good support: http://www.networkupstools.org/download.html#_virtualization_packages We will work jointly in the coming months, Ren?, Aur?lien (from Eaton) and myself, with the support from Eaton (which is a VMware partner),

Hello, I'm trying to use the tool virsh of libvirt. I want to manage via CLI a vm on a vmware hypervisor which is hosted on a remote host (Is that what you call the node??). I read a lot of thing on your site but I really don't understand how to do something... I saw that: >virsh edit $your-vm-name I think "$your-vm-name" is the xml file you're talking about? Is it

Some may be bored with the subject - sorry... Still not decided about virtualization platform for my "webhotel v2" (ns, mail, web servers, etc.). KVM would be a natural way to go, I suppose, only it is too bad CentOS 6 will not be out in time for me - I guess KVM would be more mature in CentOS 6. Any experience with the free "VMware vSphere Hypervisor"?. (It was formerly

Does Enterprise Puppet use VSphere SDK API to deploy VMware VM? If not, what does it use?

With ESX and the vSphere Client, I can enable or disable a VM's NIC to "connect at power-on". This is very useful when cloning, since you can leave the NIC not connected, power-up the VM, connect to it's console, and modify ifcfg-eth0 etc, before bringing the VM online. Is there a virsh equivalent way of doing this. Thanks....Lyle

Hi, I have a glusterfs volume replicated on three nodes. I am planing to use the volume as storage for vMware ESXi machines using NFS. The reason for using tree nodes is to be able to configure Quorum and avoid split-brains. However, during my initial testing when intentionally and gracefully restart the node "ned", a split-brain/self-heal error occurred. The log on "todd"

Starting from libguestfs/virt-v2v 1.39.12, virt-v2v attempts to uninstall the VMware tools from Windows guests, so there is no need to remove them manually before the conversion.

Hello listmates, I have encountered a rather peculiar situation. We have a Centos 6 VM (64 bit) running on a VMware vSphere 5.5 server. It was running just fine until one day I decided to reboot it and it just would not boot up. Effectively, dracut failed to initialize the LVM, much like under the scenario described here:

Has anyone else seen this on Centos 6.x x64? Running vSphere 5.0 and I install tools from the VMware tar.gz file with ' vmware-install-tools.pl -d' it seems to do all the usual/right things. Once completed there is no 'vmware-tools' listed in 'chkconfig --list'. A reboot of the box leaves vmware tools not running. I have tried completely uninstalling tools and
