similar to: Kickstarts failing 30% of time on Dell 620 blades

I have googled, read the man page, and such. What I am trying to do is install applications to a NFS mounted drive, where the libraries and everything are locally installed on that filesystem so that it is portable across servers (I have over 100 servers which each need specific applications installed via yum and we do not want to install 100 copies). We tried the yum relocate and it was not

When I put export DISPLAY="IP address:0.0" ip address being my windows8 desktop then xhost + I get xhost: unable to open display "IP:0.0" when I try export DISPLAY=":0.0" I get the same thing.

Hi, I am running centos6-5 on dell620 blades. mirrored local root drives several (including home) mounted filesystems. The other blades are working fine. Top indicates the server is running 1% cpu, and very little memory (idleing) There is no error in the messages file There is no amber lights on the server. When I log into my server it is fine, on my remote mounted home directory. When I cd to

I have an intermittent problem with my Dell blades, out of 80 blades 69 of them kickstarted Centos 6 fine using PXE The other 11, I get a c0t0 not found error (indicating it is not finding the local disk on the blade). I can remote mount the iso image and do a basic install of centos on these blades, but when I go to do a pxe boot it gives me that error again. I have googled the issue and

I am a bit baffled on this. We recently rebuilt all our servers to CentOS release 6.8 (Final) from a prior 6.x centos release. We ran into a couple of problems such as Java not working (just had to yum install java). It was installed, but unable to create a java machine, until I yum install java solved the problem. But now a user (the big boss) is receiving xrdp errors. And it appears

I am looking for opinions and personal experience on CentOS7 for both grid and virtualized web environments. I am currently on CentOS6.5 in a production environment. I am about to add about 50 more servers to my grid and am trying to identify the advantages and disadvantages of going to CentOS7. The good part is, that I have some tolerance for backing out and installing CentOS6.5 if 7 does not

Hi, I am still trying to get kick-start centos in my vmware5 because pxe cannot find the pxe server. I do not control the dhcp or pxe server. I have both my kickstart file and my iso image for centos6.5 on my vmware datastore, but am trying to run my kickstart file from VMware guest. Can I tell the command line to run from the datastore in VMWare? Or must I convert my kickstart file to a

Hi, I have an interesting problem. I want to be able to verify that my hostname, ipaddress, and mac address are correct in the DNS/DHCP. I have the values, how do I compare. I am able to use NSLOOKUP for the hostname=ip confirmation How do I do the ip addresss = mac address comparison I tried arp and a few other things. Almost everything on google says either to logon to DHCP (which I do

This should be simple, but it's not, unless I'm forgetting something. Writing a script, an arg is a filename. So fname=$1 But I want that expanded to include the full path and filename, not just what is given as the arg on the command line. E.g., if the user's cwd is /home/joe/a/b/c/ and he specifies ../x/file-a.ext then the function/utility should transform that into the

About 15% of my blades wont kickstart. I checked to see, and they all seem to be 100% compatible. I currently do not own/direct access the kickstart server, I will build one later. Is it possible they fat fingered the MAC address of the problem blades when they put them into the PXE server? As I can build them from a locally mounted virtual CD, but cannot build from PXE At first I was

Hello Rich, I figured out how to stop the VB services. I then deleted the /dev/kvm. Then I ran the libguestfs-test-tool and it said 'OK'. Then I ran virt-resize and it was unhappy that /dev/kvm no longer existed. I have attached the debug output for your review.

I am running centos6.4. Where do I find the updated gnutls packages? I see the updated source file here: http://vault.centos.org/6.5/updates/Source/SPackages/ But I don't see the correct version of the packages in the 6.4 tree here: http://vault.centos.org/6.4/updates/x86_64/Packages/ Where should I be looking for the updated package for 6.4? Thanks. -- -MichaelC

Hello, Now that I have my Samba4 DC running great on CentOS6.4 I was wondering if somebody could help understand better how to install and configure Samba4 with winbind and PAM. I used the tutorial here: [http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Winbind](http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Winbind) This got me through to the point where "Using pam_winbind" starts.

In my bin directory, most of the binaries are linked to it. It is in my path. I have googled this and cannot find anything close. I am running bash on centos6.8 When I run "which command" most of the files in this custom bin directory show up. When I run "which file.jar" it cannot see it, but I can *ls* the file (soft link) as which only works on executables

I have the latest samba4 4.2 git running on centos6.4 but when I originally provisioned it I didn't include the --use-rfc2307 for AD posix attributes. I'd like to map certain AD users to unix users so should I do a samba-tool upgradeprovision --use-rfc2307 to add this option?

I've moved most of my user's PCs from OpenSuse (11.x, unmaintainend now) to CentOS 6.4. On my old OpenSuse latex was "texlive-latex-2010" and current version on CTAN is texlive-2013. But on CentOS 6.4 I've only the old texlive-latex-2007 and several sty files available on my previous config are not available now and users cannot compile their previous documents. Is

Greetings, We have purchased an IBM BladeCenter and I am in the process of testing Linux installation on these things (boot off SAN i.e. qla2300 driver, not using internal drives). My distro of choice is Debian, however, since I'm really not interested in trying to hand compile all the drivers, I decided to try CentOS (which I'm so far very impressed with). On boot, as with the
