Hi all, Read many posts on the subject. Using 802.3ad. Few problems; Cannot ping some hosts on the network, they are all up. Cannot resolve via DNS which is one of the hosts that I cannot ping, internal nor external DNS hosts. Unplugging the NICS and plugging them back in will then not allow pining if the default d=gateway. When cold booting it somewhat works, some hosts are pingable while

took a couple months off due to road blocks, hoping a fresh look would allow me to use my server as desired. I have three ports, eth0-2 over two nics. I want to bond them, and then use a bridge to connect to virtual machines on the virtual host computer. Never having done this, I am confused on some parts. Here is where I am at now and any pointers helpful. Single server, centos 6.x My issue

Hi all, I've a 30TB hardware based RAID array. Wondering what you all thought of using ext4 over XFS. I've been a big XFS fan for years as I'm an Irix transplant but would like your opinions. This 30TB drive will be an NFS exported asset for my users housing home dirs and other frequently accessed files. - aurf

Hi all, Don't mean to double post as I sent this to the general Centos list. But, does any one have 802.3ad (mode 4) working on there Centos6 KVM setup? This would be a bridge+bond setup of course. If not possible, would I still bond the interfaces on the switch and then bond them in the guest rather then from within the hypervisor? - aurf

Hi all, Really enjoying KVM as I was a long time user of Xen. Both are cool, just enjoying the new thing. Wondering if any one could share some nuggets on how to get a Centos 5.1 VM guest to use virtio? Trying to use virtio over the ide. Thanks in advance, - aurf

I had so much trouble putting Centos 6 guest VMs on a Centos 5 host that I finally switched to a Centos 6 host. I've not needed more that test VMs, so I've used Virtual Machine Manager on the old system, which worked pretty well, so I decided to create my first KVM guest machine. I noticed when I created it, I only had the options of NAT for my network interface, so I used that

Hi, I've been using qemu-img resize for a few days now, seems fine. But if I du the VMs image file, it still shows the size before resizing. Inside that VM, the new size shows correctly. Is qemu-img resize the right tool for this? Once I qemu-img resize, I then use various fdisk/ LVM tools, etc... to resize within the VM just incase you all were wondering. - aurf

Hi, I'm VNCing into my KVM server and opening virt-manager. When trying to manage a newly created guest, I'm finding the mouse pointer stays on the outside of its virtual machine window. Any insight as to why its tracking so oddly? Thanks in advance, - aurf

Any ideas would be very appreciated. - aurf

Hi all, Taken from this link; https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/print.php?form=1&topic_id=34988&forum=55&order=ASC&start=0 Seems like I am having the same issue. I assigned my boot loader to be on /dev/md0 rather then the default of /dev/sda1 Does any one have insight to this? Thanks in advance. BTW, I have no swap partition and will do a swap file instead, easier to

Hi all, I never really paid attention to this but a file on an NFS mount is showing 64M in size, but when copying the file to a local drive, it shows 2.5MB in size. My NFS server is hardware Raided with a volume stripe size of 128K were the volume size is 20TB. My NFS clients are the same distro as the server being Centos. Is this due to my stripe size? Nuggets are appreciated. - aurf

Hi all, I noticed that my ssh logins to a particular server were taking up to 5 seconds to finally login. My tcpdump -vv weren't producing much output (not good) and my pings to and from that host were normal and almost identical to other hosts on my subnet that had no ssh login delay issues. Log files also showed nothing alarming. My hosts file was missing this at the very end of

Hi all, I'm migrating from my Cent 5.x LDAP server to Cent 6.x. But wondering if there are any advantages to the Directory Server package itself? Been using regular old LDAP server for years now. I manage it both via Webmin and command line as well as some tweaks to a Drupal module. The fail over has always sort of bothered me as the secondary LDAP servers pull vs being pushed to, at

Hi all, This topic is one that I am ignorant on and appreciate any guidance. My scenario; I have a wild card SSL installed on one of my CentOS boxes. As I understand it, this server was used as a sort of master when originally generating and receiving the wild card SSL cert (got the cert from GoDaddy BTW). So, now I must export some file(s) from that server so that I can import it/them to

Hi, I am doing xen in box gsoc project. The aim of the project is to have custom installer ISO which delivers xen stack running on c7 along with necessary bridge networking configuration. But I am getting confused over how to package bridge networking settings, so that I can deliver that during installation itself. I can use bridge-utils and package ifcfg-* files as differnet package. But for
