similar to: restore to different hardware?

Tom: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into those tools. Mark: Yes, they are using pxeboot. Right now when they boot up, the pxe config offers two options, 32- and 64bit. Are you suggesting I create multiple entries that one selects based on what the machine is going to be? Is there a way to have this done automatically so I don't have to physically have to do that for each machine,

Gotcha. Thanks all! You guys gave me the answers I needed to know and hear. For the immediate futre I will likely go with multiple pxeboot options which then picks the specific kickstart file. It's easy for me to put a label on the server that says 'web' or 'mail' etc. Then just pick the same from the menu. Eventually I'll delve deeper into custom and automated setups. On

I have a number of machines that have 4 NICs, two of which are actually in use, running Centos 5. When they are rebooted, they seem to change the eth interface names, assigning them in different orders. I'm a little fuzzy on the details because they are at a remote location and I can't access them easily - especially after the network breaks. Shouldn't: alias eth0 bnx2 alias

Less, You are 100% right. Of course I brought up my eth0 - but, like you said, with no IP. Meanwhile, I brought up eth0.48 with 192.168.48.100. However, until I would bring up eth0 with an IP address (any in the network) I would have no connection. Why? That's what I fail to understand. Boris.

Oh, and if you don't have killall installed, you can use: ps -ef | grep yum to get the pid and then use: kill -TERM pid or easier even is: kill -TERM `pid of yum` Chris On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 4:13 PM, Chris Stone <axisml at gmail.com> wrote: > try CTRL-Z to put that running process in your shell to sleep, then: > > bg 1 > > to put the process in the background.

What's "after hours" for an ISP with customers all over the world? That's why we have regular once-per-month scheduled outages. Same time, every month. Email reminders go out to customers and are announced on our web pages. People can't argue with a month's advance notice. -- Roger J.

Is idmapd supposed to work where users have different uid numbers on the nfsv4 server and client? It seems to show the right names for ownership on the client side, but if I automount a home directory, that user doesn't have permission to enter it, and if I change permission to allow access and create a new file, it shows on the server as owned by the uid number for the user on the client
