similar to: OT: ZFS appliance Oracle / Sun 7120

Hey folks, I've got a CentOS / RHEL (5.x) environment and am in the process of migrating the 5.3 file server over to an Oracle/Sun 7120 appliance. I want to keep my main 5.3 server as our NIS server but am moving NFS and Samba functions over to the appliance. NFS was a no brainer as one can imagine. Samba seems a bit trickier because of the authentication requirements in the ZFS server.

Hey folks, I'm running RHEL 5.3 on 6 boxes - and on every one of them sensors-detect finds nothing. 5 of them are Sun fire 2250 machines, and 1 is Sunfire 4170. Googling and searching this list does not seem to find anything. When I log into the Sun hardware management interface (web interface) I see that it of course is correctly detecting various temperatures of things. But for some

Hi all, Back in March someone asked about deduplication in Centos and I replied I'm using LessFS. I want to report that my overall experience is that I have performance issue up to the point that I would like to abandon it. The OP was asking http://www.opendedup.org/ How is it? Thanks Fajar

Hey guys and gals, Anyone have any experience with getting lm-sensors to run on Sun hardware? In particular Sunfire x2250 and x4170 I was running 5.3 on these boxes and sensors-detect would not find anything. I did a bit of research and as I recall thanks to this list discovered some bugs that were affecting me, so upgraded to 5.7. CPU temp sensors were then detected, but no fan sensors. At

Hi All: We have been looking at implementing deduplication on a backup server. >From what I have been able to find the available documentation is pretty thin. I ended up trying to install LessFS on this CentOS 5.7 box but we have now encountered problems with fuse version. Has anyone out there been able to get LessFS running on CentOS 5.7 and can provide some pointers? If not LessFS can you

Hey folks, I'm at colocaiton in the middle of a big rebuild and it seems I have a faulty CD rom in the server that I need to put Centos on via Kickstart. So I cannot boot the Centos 5.4 net install CD. Is PXE kickstart easy to set up? I have a laptop here with DHCP already going. I google and a bunch of stuff comes up but it does not look simple. I'm just shooting htis out ther eon

Hi, I'm currently running GlusterFS over XFS, and it works quite well. I'm wondering if it's possible to add data deduplication into the mix by: glusterfs --> lessfs --> xfs or glusterfs --> opendedupe --> xfs Has anybody tried doing this? We're running VM images on gluster, and I figure we could get a bit of space saving bu deduplicating the data. Gerald

Hi all, Sorry for the OT. Does anyone can share to how to reset an IBM Bladecenter Advance Management Module web access? Recently, I've got an IBM Bladecenter chassis E 8677. There's no one in the office who knows about the IP nor the password for it.

Hey folks, I looked at the man page and don't see any way to do this - maybe it is a function of the compression program used I dunno. Is there any way to get gtar to report on the compression it achieved? I can't just check file sizes because I'm writing data to tape. The basic problem is that I know how much data is there to begin with but I don't know how much room it took

Hey guys and gals, Yesterday I had one of my scientists kill one of my servers when his program ran amok and gobbled up all the memory, or forked too many processes, or I'm just not exactly sure what to be honest. Is there something I can run manually in cron to look for rampant programs and kill them? I know that may be hard to discern but I could also include a list if "known

Hey folks, Is there a Linux tool that will monitor a disk and tell me which directories are growing over time? I could cobble something together myself of course, but if there is already a good off-the-shelf solution, why bother? Even if it only checks once per day that would be fine. Graphs would be pretty too :-) cheers, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on

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

Hey folks, I have 1 system ( Sunfire x2250 running 5.7 ) that is having issues with RAM, but I'm not sure how to debug it. And unfortunately it is not under support anymore. I started the job about 4 months ago and when I came aboard the guy who handed stuff over to me told me this issue was on his list of things he was unable to get to yet. He told me he'd seen errors in the past in

Hey folks, I am sure there must be an easy way to do this. I am currently running 5.3 and "yum info db4" tells me that they have version 4.3.29. Is that telling me that this is the version in 5.3? Or that this is the latest version in the 5.x stream? If the former, then how do I find out what release of the db4 software (sleepcat berkeley db) is in 5.7? I don't want to

Hey folks, It looks to me like the httpd on CentOS is stuck at 2.2.2 - what's up with that? Even after a yum upgrade. I need 2.2.10 or greater, and would prefer to get it via yum or at very last an RPM if at all possible. But I cannot even find an RPM out there. For some reason both EPEL and Dag Wieers do not even seem to have an httpd RPM for RHEL5 Any idea where to look? Why are we

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Remember my thread that I can''t FTP into my server? It seems that (well, what Tom has suggested) ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp weren''t loaded. I don''t know why in that particular machine mdk9.2 doesn''t load them by default, whereas in other machine they were loaded. I have put them in /etc/modules, and

Hi all, I'm not sure whether it is samba related, but I've got this situation: I'm sharing a clipper program with samba, and then user access it using dosemu installed in each workstation. The program runs fine, except, when it creates a temporary file, it creates the filename in small letter (not in capital letter when run in DOS). Seems that the program is having trouble with
