Hi, As someone new to puppet I''m trying to work out the best way to manage different filesystems and logical volumes on different servers. Specifically I would like to be able to define on a series of nodes different LVM logical volumes to create and mount. I''m trying to do this at the moment with a define of the following type: # Manage a partition and create if needed.

Hi All, I'm having issue with creating LVM Volume via libvirt. We are running libvirtd 1.2 with KVM. We are creating Volume Group (VG01) outside of libvirt and defining a storage pool for it. Here is the StoragePool XML for the Volume Group created outside libvirt. <pool type="logical"> <name>VG01</name> <target>

Hi folks We migrated storage from local disk to SAN with: # rsync -avz /mnt/lvol00045/* /lvol00045 Why there is a difference in size? How to explain this? Do we have inconsistency? What we did wrong? [...] /dev/mapper/vg01-lvol00045_old 10321208 3930336 6286016 39% /mnt/lvol00045 [...] /dev/mapper/vg01-lvol00045 10321208 3163852 6633068 33%

Hello everybody, i am a newbie in using Xen. The first three tries to install Xen on my Gentoo box aren''t very successfull. But now i know how to get the dom0 Domain running. So my Xentoo (Xen + Gentoo = Xentoo) ist coming up. My system is configures like this: /dev/hda1 = /boot /dev/hda2 = / /dev/hda3 = LVM-Partition /dev/hda4 = SWAP /dev/vg01/SYSP = Gentoo System for dom1

I created a 1TB RAID1. So far it is just for testing, no important data on there. After a reboot, I tried to mount it again # mount /dev/mapper/vg00-btrfsvol0_0 /mnt/btrfs0 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vg00-btrfsvol0_0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or

I am running a Debian Squeeze Xen 4.0.1 Hypervisor and 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 dom0. My xen-tools.conf: lvm = vg00 size = 100Gb # Disk image size. memory = 2048Mb # Memory size swap = 2G # Swap size # noswap = 1 # Don''t use swap at all for the new system. fs = ext4 # use the EXT3 filesystem for the disk image. dist = `xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --suite` # Default

I have searched the list, and don't see this covered or didn't search for the right words. I'm running CentOS 4.8 and have some DVD's for 5.4. I have a lot of customized and additional software installed and would like to avoid starting over with a scratch install. After the upgrade from the DVD I would do a yum upgrade to 5.5. Is this a workable (and safe) thing to do? What

I installed CentOS on my home-server with 2 IDE 160GB MAXTOR HDD / RAID-1, LVM and ext3 partitions. Previous OS on this machine was FC2. I often "play" with LVM and, sometimes, have to extand or reduce some volumes size. I was surprised to see that resize2fs isn''t included anymore ! The replacing tool is ext2online but this one seems to only be able to grow a filesystem (not

I have a machine with two swap partitions (sda2 and sda8). Both will have none as mount point. When I try to use puppet (using mount type) for managing fstab I get problems because "name" in both instances (i.e. mount path) will be "none". How should I fix this within puppet? Regards Halvard Moe

hello all, Hoping for some help on copying Logical Volumes. I would like to copy an existing LV to a newly formed LV. I don't want to do a snapshot of an existing LV. Only way I've seen is to mount the to LV and: mount /dev/vg00/lv00 /mnt/orig mount /dev/vg00/lv01 /mnt/copy cd /mnt/orig tar cf - ./ |(cd /mnt/copy; tar xf - ) Is there a LV tool to do this? Or an option used with

I am trying to install CentOS from an ISO image file but the installer does not see a CD-ROM drive. The VNC viewer works but the CentOS installer indicates "Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type." Then it prompts with "[Select driver] [Use a driver disk] [Back]". I have tried several variations of the "disk" paramater, all

Hi, I am using CIFS 2.01.01 on HPUX11V2. CIFS is running in ADS security-mode. Winbind is used to map the userers from the W2K3-Domain (german) to an tdb-file. The user mapping works fine, but I have problems with the ACLS: setting the ACLS to a file or folder from windows leads in "access denied". I'm the owner of the object and have full access. The really crazy thing is,

Hi List, I run XEN 2 since some month (unfortunatly installed by a fiend of mine). Recently I bought some new hardware and tried to get XEN 3 running on a Debian Sarge 3.1. I installed via the Debian installer a RAID 1 with LVM. even though there are some devfs_mk_dir errors systems comes up. Now I installed XEN but system doe not boot as the boot device seems not to be recocnized by the

Hi All, I'm having issue with creating LVM volume via libvirt. XML of LVM StoragePool is:     VG01             /dev/VG01       (existing vg) XML of create volume in lvm pool is:     ub_test01.img     0     1                 When I create the volume with above XML defn, lvs command to list logical volume shows a value in the origin column indicating it was created as snapshot.. the

I tried to start a linux hvm domain (just for testing some things compared to a pv domain), and it didn''t start up. I then did a ''xm shutdown'', which didn''t work, then a ''xm destroy'', and from then the ''xm list'' function just hung. I then restarted xend, and ''xm list'' works, but now when I try to start the

This is happening on anything other than plain vanilla Dell servers. One R730, with dual Tesla cards, one R420, with a fibre card for a RAID device, it never switches root. All these systems have Xeons, not AMD CPUs. We've had this with every one of the 327 kernels. In addition, it seems to happen also with the 229.20.1; the 229.14.1 has no such problem. >From the rdsosreport: starting

Hi List, please excuse that this post is again about networking with XEN. Even though I googled and checked other posts for some days now I did not manage to get my installation working. Following some advises I used the late binding of pci. So I created a /etc/modprobe.de/local and added: options pciback hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0) install e1000 /sbin/modprobe pciback ; /sbin/modprobe

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

I have full virtualized CentOs with disks ike this ------------- /dev/vg00/lv_root / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 --------------- I try change my it to paravirtualized, but after reboot I got kernel panic, because /dev/vg00/lv_root wansn''t found. ----------------- this is my grub

I did something stupid when setting up a server which is now live. I think I'm stuck. I set up swap on Raid1 which is decidedly non-optimal. I'd prefer 2 independent swap partitions at the same priority. Here is the set up: /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1 -> md0 (raid1) md0 -> VolGroup00 VolGroup00 -> VG00LV00(/), VG00LV01(/home), VG00LV02(swap) I've gotten as far as : Turning
