RAID storage - SATA, SCSI, or Fibre Channel?
I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 and am looking to add more storage. I know a lot of factors can go into the type of answer given, but for present and future technology planning, should I look for a rack of SATA, SCSI, or fibre channel drives? Maybe I'm dating myself with fibre channel, and possibly SCSI? I may be looking to add a few TB now, and possibly more later. What are people

usb drives & Orico ORICO 9548U3-BK
Everyone, Is there a way to manually assign usb drives to a specified device label. Is there a way to force two usb drives to be labeled as /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd? I decided to build an archive server for the purpose of backing up other fedora/centos desktops at the office. I built a machine and have installed Centos 7.3 on it with all updates current. I also purchased a 3.0 usb sata drive

Question about RAID 5 array rebuild with mdadm
I'm using Centos 4.5 right now, and I had a RAID 5 array stop because two drives became unavailable. After adjusting the cables on several occasions and shutting down and restarting, I was able to see the drives again. This is when I snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Please, someone with vast knowledge of how RAID 5 with mdadm works, tell me if I have any chance at all

add on sata card relabeling drives, installation
Hi all. I have a new server and am playing with the installation. (centos 6). My onboard sata card has 6 drives attached to it, yet the server has 8 bays. I bought a sata controller card (adaptec) and added it to the mix, adding two more drives. Everything works and all is accessible, but there is one annoying issue. When installing with anaconda, the 2 drives located on the add-on sata card

steadily increasing/high loadavg without i/o wait or cpu utilization
Hi all, I just installed centos 5.4 xen-kernel on intel core i5 machine as dom0. After some hours of syncing a raid10 array (8 sata disk) I noticed a steadily increasing loadavg. I think without reasonable i/o wait or cpu utilization the loadavg on this system should be very lower. If this loadavg is normal I would be greatful if somone could explain why. The screenshots below show that there is

PXE install in a boot on san with LVM environment, fails after reboot
Hello, I need to automate installation of CentOS 7.0 using PXE and kickstart. My server is diskless, I'm installing CentOS on a 25GB LUN on a FC SAN with 4 paths. This LUN is the only one accessible by the server. Anaconda processes successfully the installation. But on reboot, I get stuck on a prompt after BIOS. I think I have an issue with storage configuration / bootloader

CentOS 6 P2V alternatives?
Hello all, This week I've tested out a few ways to do a P2V on a rather ancient CentOS 6 server, in order to move it to a Hyper-V host. So far my tests have failed rather spectacularly. Initially I was set on doing a simple dd-routine, but was told that the server cannot be taken off-line as it's being used daily, so had to look for other solutions. The disk setup is currently as

LVM and kickstarts ?
Hey, Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ? I know I need swap and such, however in trouble shooting this issue I trimmed down my config. It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because the mount point does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol) It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not

CentOS Digest, Vol 74, Issue 31
thanks for the reply, Phil It would, were udev not inserting USB and/or eSATA drives at /dev/sdb1 and/or /dev/sdc1 and exposing the array to the udev rule intended to handle only removable devices (at sdc or sdd). The array then mounts unpredictably in /media/xxx-sdc1 or sdd1 - not what is wanted - depend on how many removable devices are plugged at the time of rebooting. Of course, a single

HD/Partitions/RAID setup
I have a machine that's been configured as follows using its BIOS tools: SATA-0 is a 160 GiB drive used as boot SATA-1 and SATA-2 are both 500 GiB drives and were configured as a RAID-1 in BIOS. When the system boots up, BIOS reports 1 160 GiB SATA drive, and 1 Logical volume as RAID-1 ID#0 500 GiB, which is what I would expect it to report, as the two drives are now raided

LSI MegaRAID system status
Dear list, I have inherited a CentOS-5 box with a LSI Sata Raid controller. It is configured as a RAID5 w/hot-standby. My concern is that I have no present means of determining the RAID status w/o downing the system and going into the bios to get status. If a disk has failed and brought the standby disk online, I would like to know about it, the day it happens by seeing it in syslog or getting

3.0.4 ACPI support and Opteron 2210 ?
Hello, I originally posted this to xen-users, but someone suggested I post it here. I am having ACPI problems on a PenguinComputing Altus1600 system. It has 2x dual core Opteron 2210 processors. The system boots with a standard Debian or Ubuntu SMP kernel, with ACPI enabled. However the xen live cd, binary xen install, as well as my own custom compile of xen 3.0.4 from source will not boot.

Problem creating volgroups with kickstart installations (on xen)
I'm testing doing kickstart installations on Xen VMs. This is the first time I'm trying out kickstart at all, so I rather think I'm doing something wrong in the kickstart configuration than it is a Xen issue. I use a modified kickstart file from an earlier manual installation with a very basic filesystem setup. It fails with "SystemError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup00".

I have been looking for environment variables for the %post section of kickstart. Namely if I start my kickstart command with "linux ks=http://serverip/ks.cfg" is there an environment variable that has serverip that I can use in the %post section? Also is there a way to pass a command line argument to the %post section when running kickstart command as the above

parted - is there a problem
Everyone, I recently added a 300gig Seagate sata drive on a Centos 5.0 and have a couple of questions. The drive was recognized with the device as /dev/sdc. The system came with some SCCI drives that are labeled as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I was surprised that the sata drives used sdc. Are the sata drives considered more like SCCI or IDE drives? The real problem occurred when I tried to
