Looking at what my best options for managing KVM via a gui. Running Centos 5.4 and have several machines and want to migrate off of vmware server 2.x. So far it appears that the management tools haven't quite cought up to Vmware but are gaining and closing. I have been looking at convirt, and others. I like what I see in Ovirt but I'm not sure it is available for centos 5.4, or is it?

hi Guys, As we get ready to start publishing Cloud Images ( or rather images consumable in various virt platforms, including public and private clouds ) - it would be great to have a baseline package manifest worked out. What / how many images should we build. At this time we were thinking of doing : - CentOS-5 32bit minimal - CentOS-6 32bit minimal - CentOS-5 64bit minimal - CentOS-6 64bit

Hi all. I am currently building a small test cloud based on Eucalyptus 2.0.3 and CentOS 5.8 x64. I have a choice which hypervisor to use: KVM or XEN. KVM is the default in CentOS 6 but I have read also many good things (for example PV guest machines, isolation between Dom0 and DomU) about XEN. Key factors from my opint of view are: - stability (which one runs more smoothly on CentOS?) -

I am a little new to managing large numbers of CentOS/RHEL servers and was wondering what you experienced sysadmins prefer, Spacewalk or Puppet?

Hi Guys, Some of us are yet-again going to be getting together for a CentOS Beer evening on the 10th Nov 2009 at the Kings and Queens. The Pub is mostly quiet during the week, has a fair selection of drinks and is central enough to most people in the city. The full address is : King & Queens, 1 Foley St, London, W1W 6DL? Here is a Google Street view of the place http://bit.ly/1PchSO We

hi Guys, We've been trying to get something like this setup for long time, now thanks to Khusro Jaleel's efforts its online! The CentOS Promo request system is available at http://promo.centos.org/ And we have some TShirts there - three different designs, six different colours and a few options on sizes for each type. Get them quick! The TShirts are already paid for by sponsors, all you

hi Guys, Over the last 24 hours we have had a series of stability issues. First, the DC our mail/lists machine is hosted in had power issues ( Internap LGA9, NY, USA ); then we had a h/w failure and needed a chassis swap ( thanks to the guys in the DC who executed this within minutes ); and we have since again had network issues - although power to the DC and the server seems stable now. Over

Hi All, I see that sparc.centos.org does not contain any ISO's so that I can install from CD. How does one install over the internet? I have never done it before. I assume use the boot.iso and make sure that I have DHCP turned on so that I get an IP automatically from my router? Any advice? -Jason

hi, Some of you might have seen the email on the centos-devel list, for the rest I just wanted to point out that we've been working on getting opennebula ( http://www.opennebula.org/ ) rpms and contextualised images for opennebula available with a very low barrier to entry for CentOS. The 'win' with OpenNebula is that its easy to install, easy to get going, scales well and mostly

My stock CentOS 5.4 box won't come up after a reboot as reported from my office. Error is: "duplicate or bad block in use" Before rebooting xm dmsg had printk suppressed messages. The box is remote, 2 hour drive. Some advice on what hardware to bring with me and how to approach this via fsck would be welcome. Its an nvidia dmraid boot on WD Velocirapters. And Happy New Year to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I just did my daily news scan and saw some screenshots that illustrate the press release [0] announcing the first collisions at the LHC. Those screenshots show windows and buttons that exactly match my CentOS GNOME Desktop [1]. AFAIK, SuSE/Novell has different skins, as has (Open)Solaris and AIX, for instance. So, has there anybody more

I noted centos-release source rpm is missing on repositories, and after search a bit I found this thread: http://www.linux-archive.org/centos/272321-centos-release-srpm.html Anyone have news about this? Thanks in advance -- Renato Botelho

Who was the genius that decided that system-config-network-tui should NOT be part of the base CentOS 6.3 install ?? Not to mention it has insane deps like wifi firmware packages... not really if all you want to do is configure eth0 from the command line... FC

Hey, folks, I just saw Johnny mention 5.9 yesterday, and this morning, my manager tells me he got about 100 emails from somewhere about 5.9 and a CR repo. So, my questions to the team is: is there a CR repo, and is there some urgency to enabling it, or shall we just wait for the release? The *only* thing I can think of having real issues with is the newest PIV cards.... mark

Hi all Just on a fresh CentOS 6.2 minimal install, it doesnt find lxc: [mihamina at dev-spare ~]$ sudo yum install lxc [...] No package lxc available. Error: Nothing to do [mihamina at dev-spare ~]$ yum provides lxc-create [...] No Matches found Well, I think this is not really a problem: there probably is a personal packager that made his own lxc package and some people in

Hi subscribers, the sponsor of the machine our mailserver runs on will be physically moving the machine at around May 27th 04:00 UTC. This move will take until around May 27th 07:00 UTC (or shorter). This means that there will be no activity on the mailing lists during that time. We all hope that the machine will come up without problems again after the move. If it doesn't, service (mailing
