similar to: Samba HA on two nodes

I have a customer that is using 250 gig drives for his business data. I have been using rsync to keep mirror copies of his data on a second machine. In the last 3 months I have lost 2 of four drives, the last one being the system drive. I have been doing a manual switchover. Each time rsync runs, I copy my samba conf files, passwd, shadow and group files from etc. Has anyone setup a HA

I am planning to upgrade the DCs using the join and promote method. List of DCs ----------- 1) SAMBA1 2) SAMBA2 3) DC1 4) DC2 Currently SAMBA1 is the PDC and SAMBA2 is the "SDC" and are in sync with replication and rsync sysvol. DCs SAMBA1 and SAMBA2 are 4.1 git releases with AD Schema version 47. My plan to get to AD Schema version 69 was... 0. Add entries to the DHCP Server for the

List, I am deploying a number of Samba servers across a WAN. To date I have manually uploaded printer drivers from an XP client to the Samba server. But it's slow, and I systematically upload the same drivers over and over again. I'm not quite sure of the recipe, but I'm sure there must be a way of replicating all the drivers, from a central point, out to the remote servers. Copying

good morning all, i have an interesting issue with browsing. details: i have three subnets. (subnet1, subnet2, and subnet3) i have a samba server on each subnet.

(m$1) samba1 is the domain master and wins server with ip 192.168.0.1 win2k clients authenticate to their local server and wins is set to 192.168.0.1. when i run a

Does anyone use it on a regular basis and would therefore be distraught if it were gone in a future 3.0.x release ? cheers, jerry -

Hi, can I establish interdomain trust between two domains across NAT. If yes, please how??? Thank you, Sopik Bronislav

While trying to solve my printer problem, I have come up with another question that Google is not helping me with. What happens to a print job after Samba submits it to Cups? Is it 'finished' even though Cups is still printing it? Is that why my users aren't seeing their print jobs, because Cups has already snatched them and Samba assumes they are done? I would much rather if

Hello, I am using samba to acces a printer on my Linux server from Windows XP Home SP2 clients. It was working very well until yesterday evening. Since yesterday, I can print from the server (with cups) but I can't print from the Windows clients. And all the shared folders are still OK. There is only printing from Windows clients which doesn't work. We changed nothing on the server

Hi all, I have been having the weirdest network browsing problems on my network the past week. Come to find out the wins.dat file got corrupted. Removing that file fixed everything. Because our systems typically have uptimes measured in months rather than days, and it is difficult for me to restart Samba except as a scheduled task (which I'm afraid to do because there are users who

Dear all For some reasons I would like to run two samba installations (/opt/samba1 and /opt/samba2) on the same host. Is such a dual installation supported? If yes, what do I have to consider?

I'm configuring a HA-cluster to share disks using heartbeat from http://www.linux-ha.org/ Two machines, lets call them server1 and server2 share the same disk with an ocfs2 file system. However, the two machines have separate disks for their OS installations. The two physical servers have two gigabit nics each and on those nics I place four virtual IP addresses which heartbeat makes sure is

Hello List, I have a special L2 VPN connected samba deployment setup and I want to make sure the name resolution arrangement is the best for the network. Setup : network 1 + Samba1<<SAME IP range>> <L2 VPN> network2 <<SAME IP range>> + Samba2 I have noticed that the wins server and wins support options are non-inclusive. Samba2: name resolve order =

Hi Folks, I'm part of a Novell department that is working on moving from Novell NDPS printing to Samba printing. I have been told that the Samba environment will have to be clustered to assure the same level of redundancy for printing. Does anyone have any pointers? Whether actual experience in this or a location of good documentation of the clustering process? Thanks for

Here is my scenario when a client wants to resolve a name on my local network: CLIENT --> VPN --> SAMBA --> DNS The client is set up like so: DNS1 = ISP DNS1 (204.26.64.1) DNS2 = ISP DNS2 (204.26.80.3) WINS1 = my samba1 (10.10.1.5) WINS2 = my samba2 (10.10.1.8) This all _seemed_ to have worked 3 days ago for roughly 6 months but stopped suddenly without me doing anything. When the

Hello all, I have a few samba servers running winbind that are joined to the AD 2003 domain. Is it possible to designate one samba server to host the users' home directories instead of each one of them? If we have samba1, samba2, and samba3 and designate samba1 to host the home directories and when a user accesses samba 2 either via ssh or as a share, the home directory that the user sees

Getting worse and worse .... I demoted samba3 and then also

Hello! I'm using samba with CUPS printing (with raw passthru) for a long time now and it worked very well. But after upgrading my samba installation from 3.0.2 to 3.0.9, the printjobs (sent from XP Workstations) aren't removed from the joblist anymore. Means: the job is printed correctly, but opening the printqueue on the XP machine still contains the job (not only mine, but jobs from

Is there a way foe me to get the print job name to be something other than "remote downlevel job"? All my jobs are now printing flawless except for this. I would like to be able to get a file name or program at least. Thanks Tony McGrew www.multicam.com
