Hi all I hope anyone can help me with this. I'm trying to get vmware to play along nicely on CentOS 5.1 x64, but I get errors when I try and start a vmx image, or list them. This the the error: [root at backup vmware-mui-distrib]# vmware-cmd -l Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/VMware/VmPerl.pm line 114.

Hi I see some distro's, like Ubuntu has a nice short chime / sound when a machine is fully booted.

Hi all I'm looking for the linux source files for CentOS 5.1 2.6.18-53.el5. To install VirtualBox, I apparently need the kernel sources, and even after installing kernel-devel & kernel-headers via yum I still get an error saying I need the kernel-sources [root at gimbli ~]# ll /usr/src/kernels/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5-x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1

Hi all If I do a "dig mydomain.co.za" from a Linux server, how do I know which DNS nameserver returns the queries? I seem to have a faulty DNS server, but can't see which one, so I want to find out which nameserver (if there's 4 - ns1.myserver, ns2.myserver, ns3.myserver & ns4.myserver) returns the queries? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web:

HVM = fully virtualized. The question is, why are you using fully virtualized domUs?

Hi all I've been thinking about using CentOS on a Dell R200 server and turn it into a firewall / network monitor / traffic shaper in our datacentre, instead of using a dedicated firewall device. One of the devices that I have been looking at, with my limited budget, is the D-Link DFL 860 - http://www.netdefend.eu/Product.aspx?m=15&ref=DFL-860 It provides AV, SPI, VPN, DOS, P2P, etc

Hi all I have a CentOS 5.1 x64 server, running Xen version 3.1.0-53.1.21.el5 & Windows 2003 VM. After doing a software update in Windows (via Remote Desktop), I rebooted windows, but it never came back up. So, I logged into the server via SSH, and destoyed the VM, and recrated it. Yet it doesn''t boot up ( I can''t connect to it via RDP). So, how do I debug it to see

I've run into some trouble with a new cPanel VPS, and noticed that it's running CentOS by default, installed via the CentOS http server.

Hi I'm thinking about setting up a local / LAN respository for my CentOS, and probably other (Fedora Core) disto's, but have never done it before, so here's some questions: If I setup a repository, can it hold different distro's / architectures & versions? Say for example, CentOS 4 (i386 & x64), CentOS 5.0 & 5.1 (i386 & x64) - will each one have it's own

Hi all I want to shrink one of my LVM based domU''s, but don''t quite know how to do it. I have searched the Wiki & HOWTO''s, and they all show you how expand / enlarge a LVM based domU, but not shrinking it. So, I stopped (destroyed) the domU, and then resized it as follows: lvresize /dev/data/cpanel1 -L10GB (It was 100GB), but when I a started it up again, I

Hi all I''m running CentOS 5.1 x64 + Xen 3.0 & I have setup a CentOS 5.1 x64 domU as a HMV. For the setup I used VNC, but I would prefer to be able to access it via "xm console cPanel" via SSH directly. Here''s the output cPanel HVM: [root@pc-00059 ~]# more /etc/xen/cPanel name = "cPanel" uuid = "ff940501-507d-04ca-e590-831e79ba0397" maxmem =

Hi all I want to look at setting up a simple / cheap SAN / NAS server using normal PIV motherboard, 2GB (or even more) RAM, Core 2 Duo CPU (probably a Intel 6700 / 6750 / 6800) & some SATA HDD's (4 or 6x 320GB - 750GB). My budget is limited, so I can't afford a pre-built NAS device. Can this be done with CentOS? I've been looking FreeNAS (which is built on FreeBSD), and it

Hi all, Has anyone seen something like this before: I want to use a laptop as a KVM console. Basically when a technician goes to one of our datacentres, or clients he has to look for a free LCD, keyboard & mouse to connect to a server (no network access, reinstall, troubleshoot failed kernel / HDD, etc). And then hopefully there's an open power socker in that cabinet. So I'm

Hi all, Has anyone managed to get CentOS 6 domU (i.e. guest) working on a Debian 6 do0? Both OS''s are 32bit and I''m running XEN 4.0.1 with HVM support. A CentOS 5.6 domU works fine on this very same server though. When I start CentOS 6, I get the following error: newusaxen:~# xm create -c /xen/genocide.cfg Using config file "/xen/genocide.cfg". xenconsole: Could
