Hello, Is there a standard programmatic way to manipulate yum configuration files, particularly the .repo files? I want to add things like "priority=..." per repo, or "check_obsoletes=1" to the priorities plugin config. I can cook specific search/append using perl or sed but was wondering whether there is a more elegant way. I found Perl's Conf::INI module but it

Hello, I'd like to set the io scheduler on some of the disks on our Dom0 (CentOS 5) to "deadline". The way I found to do this is with "echo deadline > /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler". What is the Right Way(TM) to set this automatically during boot? I sort of expected to use sysctl but it appears to only deal with pseudo-files under /proc/sys, not /sys. Also

we have a linux box Debian with Xen install on it for vitualizate windows enviroment. We follow this instruccion http://www.xensource.com/files/xen_install_windows.pdf but when we run "xm create win_2k.hvm" the windows installation pop up never appear.

Hello, I'm beginning to give up on making Linux-HA's heartbeat work for my environment (CentOS x86_64) and am wondering what other option have I got to help me: 1. Use IPVS to maintain a cluster of virtual servers, either master/slave or load-balanced. 2. Use DRBD in master/slave fashion to keep a home-grown application highly-available. The first thing I stumbled upon is RedHat Cluster

Hello, I created a CentOS 5.0 x86_64 guest under Debian Etch with Xen 3.0.3 and it boots fine except for one re-occuring problem - whenever it boots the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script gets renamed to .bak and doesn''t configure the ethernet device. Here is the content of this file: TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.0.247

Hello, I just discovered Gluster a couple of weeks ago and went through the initial documentation and got it compiled. It looks very promising both for my home network and for work. For now I'm concentrating at home - We have to Ubuntu 8.04 desktops, one for me and one for my wife. We generally try to keep them off when not used but at any time any one of them could be up or down. I was

Hello, I''m writing my first puppet function rspec test and am having a problem which I don''t see how to solve. The function (and the test) involve access to files through the File Server. In order for the function (and the test) to work I need to pass "--fileserverconf=fileserver.conf" parameter to Puppet. So far I haven''t found a way to do that. If I

My environment: Ubuntu LTS 12.04, carbon (https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon) 0.9.9 installed using "pip". I just learned why when I run "pip freeze" on a system I don''t see the "carbon" package even when it installed successfully - I should run it with "PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/lib/ pip freeze". (ref:

Hello, Has anyone got Heartbeat 1.2.5 (latest Heartbeat 1 version) to compile and run on CentOS 5? I downloaded the source but hit difficulties compiling it, presumebly because it was never quite tweaked to run on the latest version. Thanks, --Amos

Hi All, Yes, I know, it's really really embarrassing to have to ask but I'm being pushed to the wall with PCI DSS Compliance procedure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_DSS) and have to either justify why we don't need to install an anti-virus or find an anti-virus to run on our CentOS 5 servers. Whatever I do - it needs to be convincing enough to make the PCI compliance guy tick the

Hello, Is there a generic built-in way on CentOS to overlook that a specific process is alive and re-spawn it (or just run a configured command) when it dies? I know how to script things so a parent will watch its child, but was wondering whether there is something more readily available instead of having to reinvent the wheel. The process must be controlled via a /etc/init.d/... script and

Hello, Is there any package on CentOS 5 which provides perl-libnet? Beartbeat 1 depends on it but so far I couldn't find a package. Also - is there a way to find which non-installed package contains files with matching names (a-la Debian's apt-file)? I know about "rpm -qf" but it only works on packages which are already installed. I saw some place mentioning a command called

Hello, Has anyone here had experience using Puppet (2.7 for now) to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (or even 2012, for that matter) on Windows Server 2008? So far I didn''t find anything on the web, the forge or Github. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hello, When I needed to build Xen guests under Debian I could follow more or less the instructions in http://preview.tinyurl.com/2oc48r and the advantage of this approach is that it allows me to setup the Xen guest directly on the LVM partition without making it consider the LVM partition as an entire disk with a partition table. The advantages of this approach are: 1. I can add more LVM's

Hi. I am running Xen 3.0.3-1 on Debian Etch. Does anyone have a sample config file for creating a windows DomU? I have the ISO file from my windows CD. I''m not using LVM Thanks in Advance _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello, I've just noticed that the file /etc/ha.d/resource.d/drbddisk, which belongs to package drbd-8.0.6-1.el5.centos, is missing from one of my test machines: # rpm --verify drbd S.5....T c /etc/drbd.conf missing /etc/ha.d/resource.d/drbddisk I'm looking at this as an opporunity to learn something about RPM which bugged me for a while - in Debian, aptitude and apt-get provide

Hello, In order to overcome a known performance bug in perl-5.8.8-10 in centos 5 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=196836) I downloaded the perl package from fedora 8 (http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SRPMS/perl-5.8.8-30.fc8.src.rpm) and mod_perl

Hello, I'm following instructions in http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.LVS-DR.html#route_on_non_ip_interface to allow my xen guest real hosts to serve virtual IP's behind LVS without having to allocate real public IP addresses for each such xen guest. I have eth1 connected via a "back-end" switch to the eth1/xenbr1 of the xen host and the other physical

Hello, Is it possible to share a single host's Logical Volume among multiple local KVM guests which mount it read-only? I'm asking this because I have an idea to run multiple idential KVM guests (they all have exactly the same software installed on them), booting them from a shared local Logical Volume read-only root file system, or alternatively let them share the bulk of the software

Hello, When approaching hosting providers for services, the first question many of them asked us was about the amount of IOPS the disk system should support. While we stress-tested our service, we recorded between 4000 and 6000 "merged io operations per second" as seen in "iostat -x" and collectd (varies between the different components of the system, we have a few such
