similar to: Amazon EC2 - building a minimal centOS ebs bootable image

I''m trying to provide some "disaster-proofing" on Amazon EC2 by using a ZFS-based EBS volume for primary data storage with Amazon S3-backed snapshots. My aim is to ensure that, should the instance terminate, a new instance can spin-up, attach the EBS volume and auto-/re-configure the zpool. I''ve created an OpenSolaris 2009.06 x86_64 image with the zpool structure

Hello, I get a VM crash while trying to load a database. The "smaller" tables are loading OK, but When I try a bigger one (#3 000 000 rows) the ASCII dump file is #766 MB. When I try to load that table the machine crash and I find always the same message in the "qemu....log'' file : xc_map_foreign_batch: mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory xc_map_foreign_bulk error 12 I

Greetings! I''d appreciate hearing from anybody who''s had experience with any of this. I''ve got a Rails app that currently deployed on EC2 with MySQL and am readying to move from a dev / prototype model to a full-scale production model. Right now I''ve got a single MySQL instance. I''m getting ready to move that to a master-slave setup. I''m

Another GlusterFS 3.1 question on my blog (http://cloudarchitect.posterous.com). Any help/ideas will be appreciated. Thanks Joshua ---- Here's my challenge: I have several 1 tb ebs volumes now that are un-replicated and reaching capacity. I'm trying to suss out the most efficient way to get each one of these into its own replicated 4 tb gluster fs. My hope was that I could snapshot

Is it possible, using puppet, to configure an EC2 instance so that when it boots it attaches & mounts an EBS volume? If so, what steps would one take to achieve this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Dear List-Colleagues: I have been working on installing Xen on Suse 10.3 for some time now. I am green as grass - both a total newbie to Xen and a relative newbie to Linux (as well as a total newbie to SuSE). Currently, I am at the point that when I click on the Xen entry in my grub loader I see Xen starting and running through much of its early setup. Eventually, however, it quits on

Thanks you all guys. I am able to create the RHEL5 PVM on RHEL5 host successfully. Only thing that i need to add is /mnt/etc/fstab in inintrd command and preload to both the fronthend drivers.

First let me say that I'm not a sysadmin, but am simply wearing that hat this week so please excuse my ignorance. I need to temporarily move some virtual servers from a CentOS-KVM platform to a CentOS-XEN platform while I do some upgrades to the CentOS box. I've created a local LV, and used DD and SCP to transfer the block device from the VKM machine to the XEN machine. For quite a

hello, just for a success story : After bad experience on fedeora core 6, I have tested a OpenSuse 10.2beta2. I have installed with success a Windows XP SP2. The hardware: A intel DQ965gf Intel Core 2 Duo 6700 USB DVD reader IDE disk (PATA) Set AHCI mode in BIOS and add all-generic-ide in boot option. The opensuse 10.2beta2 does not well configured the xen kernel, you should do a mkinitrd and

I followed the book called "Professional Xen Virtualization" written by William von Hagen,and published by Wiley Publishing,Inc. Here are some configuration files: #cat /xen/ubuntu/ubuntu.xen3.cfg kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.1.16.el5xen" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.1.16.el5xen-no-scsi.img" memory = "512" name = "Ubuntu804" vif =

Hey all, Ok, so I've been having some trouble for a while with an EC2 instance running CentOS 5.11 with a disk volume reporting 100% usage. Root is on an EBS volume. So I've tried the whole 'du -sk | sort -nr | head -10' routine all around this volume getting rid of files. At first I was getting rid of about 50MB of files. Yet the volume remains at 100% capacity. Thinking

Hello, I just gain experiences in using XEN and hope you can help me. My hostsystem is Centos5 that I installed on a Software-Raid (Level 1). Afterwards I downloaded the debian-tarball from the jailtime.org website, extracted/mounted the image and copied the "*/lib/modules/*<kernelversion>"-folder from my host to the guest. My XEN-Configfile looks like this: kernel =

virt-p2v was able to convert my centOS 5.2 physical machine to xen virtual machine and it runs great. Now, I am working on to convert this full virt machine to para virt . Under my domU i have installed kernel-xen (since it is needed ) , and edited my grub menu to use the installed kernel. My grub menu file in domU looks like: ---- kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen ro

Hi, how can i make actual xen kernel to work under my domU virtual machines? When i will provide as kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen as ramdisk /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen.img , it will not work becouse of error that root device does not exists. And when it is booting it is showing that raid md0 and my logical volumes does not exists - like those on dom0. I believe it is becouse

Hi, I am trying to copy the latest CentOS image to my own AWS account so that I can enable EBS volume encryption. It currently looks like the option when sharing the image is not enabled to allow direct copying of the snapshots, and I am wondering if this could be looked at? I can start an instance with this AMI, then create a new snapshot for the purpose of enabling EBS volume encryption, but

Hi All, The following is my domU''s cfg file. # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ kernel = ''/usr/local/src/xen/vmlinuz'' ramdisk = ''/usr/local/src/xen/initrd.img'' memory = ''256'' name = ''centos5.2'' vif0 = [ ''bridge=xenbr1'' ] disk = [ ''phy:/dev/server/cbox,xvda,w'' ] on_reboot =

Hi, this series implements the first bits in v2v to convert Debian/Ubuntu (and derived) guests. The series does not complete the support (see known issues below), but all the patches here should be fit for review and inclusion. The series does not enable the conversion, yet. Known issues: * there is no grubby nor Bootloader::Tools Perl module available in Debian, so there is no way to know

Hello. We have a number of Xen 3.4.2. boxes which have constant iowaits at around 10% with spikes up to 100% when accessing data over NFS. We have been unable to nail down the issue. Any advice?
