Hi All I looked at this page for reference to using virtio drivers on KVM guests. http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio In the requirements section it is mentioned that we need a virtio compatible guest with kernel >= 2.6.25 One of my guest has this version: [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:28:30 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I was

Hi I am using QEMU 0.12.1 as the hypervisor in my RHEL installation of 6.5. I wanted to know if there are any side-effects with respect to VM image corruption when i use SIGTERM signal to kill a qemu-kvm process which effectively stops my VM running on the host. Appreciate if you can provide me some valuable information in this regard. Thanks Jatin

Hi I wanted to download and install the net-snmp package. Usually on my other CentOS boxes i use the following command to do it: yum install net-snmp I was able to successfully install net-snmp on 4 of my CentOS boxes but not on one of them.

Hi All Yesterday i had installed wireshark on my centos box which does not have the GUI , It is actually a hardened box. I installed the tool using the following command: yum install wireshark After installation i dont know how to proceed further in capturing the packets. I basically want to capture packets and copy them onto my windows box. On the windows box i can use the Wireshark UI to

Thanks Dominique & Daniel. Looks like i need to upgrade my VMs kernel to make it aware of virtio. Found this information from this link: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio#Disk_.28block.29_device_driver I tried without upgrading the Kernel and as soon as i start my VM it got into Kernel Panic. I will try using virtio after upgrading my VMs kernel. Thanks for all the responses and

Hi I have a linux box which has CentOS running in it. I logged into the box using root and wrote a script in the /home/proc_threads directory. saved the file and quit. I changed the file permissions such that any user could execute it using the "chmod 777 filename" command. When i log out and log in as a non-root user i was not able to execute the script though. Could some one

Hi Not a specific question on CentOS but in general about java processes running on Linux boxes. I have a couple of java processes running on my linux boxes , They basically form a component of a bigger application. My point of interest is to monitor the resource usage of the java processes running on the linux box. So currently when i have these procs running on my box they show up as

Hi I know we can get the total number of processes running in the system using the 'ps -A' command but is it possible to get the total number of threads running in the system ? Is this information exposed using any of the MIB's ? Thanks Jatin

Hi All We use CentOS 6.6 for our application. I have profiled the application and find that we have a heavy requirement in terms of Disk writes. On an average when our application operates at a certain load i can observe that the disk writes / second is around 2 Mbps (Average). The block size set is 4k ******************* [root at localhost ~]# blockdev --getbsz /dev/sda3 4096
