Hello: I am trying to follow the RHEL virtualization guide to set up a bridge on a system running CentOS 5.4. I copied my ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth0:1 and set its content to this: DEVICE=eth0:1 HWADDR=[The MAC address from eth0] ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br1 I then created ifcfg-br1 with this content: DEVICE=br1 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.2.255 IPADDR=192.168.2.202

Hi, I am pretty new to libvirt, but have succeeded in setting up two VM's, Windows 10 and ClearOS (a Centos derivative) and they both have the same issue. I have installed both of them with a UK English keyboard, but the host machine is remote and in the US with a US locale. When I access either through VNC (I've tried TightVNC and VNC-Viewer), a number of my keys don't map

This is offtopic, but related to what you’ve told me so far. I’m having some trouble getting the VNC connection to work. Technically, the “connection” is working fine, but the Windows TightVNC Viewer comes up with an error dialog saying this: Xsession: unable to start X session --- no "/home/.../.xsession" file, no "/home/.../.Xsession" file, no session managers, no window

Hello: According to the Red Hat Virtualization Guide, Windows Server 2003 32-bit will only run as a fully virtualized guest on an AMD64 system. I thought I have seen a lot of discussion about running paravirtualized Windows on CentOS. Is that a bad idea?

Hi all, I am having issues with running tightvnc-server on a CentOS 5.1 x86_64 machine (currently up-to-date, kernel 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5). Occasionally, the Xvnc instance will just crash, taking with it everything that I was running. When it crashes, it seems to do so when I try to open some GUI program. So, for instance, I click on a shortcut to open a program, and poof, it crashes. But it does

Hello: I am looking for a recommendation for a PCI-e RAID card for my server. The server has a PCI-e x16 low profile slot so the card has to be at most 6.6 inches long x 2.536 inches high. I would like to use RAID 5 with 3 drives so I have to have those capabilities. It has to be CentOS 5.4 compatible (Of course!). I took a look at the offerings from 3Ware, but their cards are too long. If

Just new to Centos 5.6. I'm trying to install an Xvnc server Downloaded tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.bz2 I made thru configure but when I make I get these messages make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/michel/importe/tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/programs/Xserver/hw/vnc' make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../.././/../libvncauth/libvncauth.a', needed by `Xvnc'.

Hello: I have a host running two KVM guests. The guests use br0 and each has a static IP address. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to use snmpd on the host to measure the traffic usage of the guests. I do not want to require anything running on the guests since I do not control them. Looking at netstat -in on the host, I see this info: Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met

I tried to use tightvnc back in August and had some help, but I stopped due to IPv6 support. Now I am back at tightvnc and cannot get the server started. This is on a new Centos install that did have regular vncserver working on it (I did a yum erase vnc-server first). So I have a working /etc/sysconfig/vncserver and my user has the appropriate ~/.vnc files that worked with regular vnc.

I’m confused. You’re asking if I’m able to connect with VNC in response to my comment that I’m unable to connect with VNC? What I see when I open the viewer on the port is a window titled “<username> X desktop”, with a grey background, an “X” cursor, and an error dialog (with an “okay” prompt) saying what I described before. Ctrl-Alt-F1 and similar keys do nothing. From: Jeff Tchang

Hello: I am looking at the RHEL 5.4 virtualization guide. According to Chapter 17, if I want to use KVM on my machine, I need to check if it has the constant Time Stamp Counter by running this: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep constant_tsc When I do that on the server (Currently running CentOS 5.3), I do not get any output. According to the output, that means my system does not have the counter. It

Hello: I have been looking into projects that will automatically restrict hacking attempts on my servers running CentOS 5. I think the two top contenders are: DenyHosts - http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net Fail2ban - http://www.fail2ban.org >From what I see, DenyHosts only blocks based on failed SSH attempts whereas Fail2ban blocks failed attempts for other access as well.

Hello: I am using kvm on a CentOS 5.4 server. I am trying to install the TunkeyLinux Core appliance found here: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/core I downloaded the ISO file from the web site.

Hello all: Is there a network switch that will give me traffic stats at an IP address level? Right now, I only get statstics at a port level, but that does not help since each of my servers run several virtual machines and I need to measure traffic per virtual machine.

Using Centos 5.2 with Xen. I'm making a group of nodes behind an LVS load-director to perform computing services. Those nodes are only accessible from the LVS nodes (I'm using LVS NAT mode). Actually it's Xen virtual servers on the physical nodes behind the LVS boxes that I'm mostly concerned with. When you create a guest with virt-install, there's a vnc param and a vncport

Thanks for replying. Good info so far. After I start the VM, I’m going to need to see the boot console, and I’ll need to ssh into it with a hostname or IP. What are some required steps for those needs? This VM is going to need to access a few associated networks. I can see that the “—networks” option is part of the interface for configuring this. What are some things I’ll have to do for
