Command line tool to test bandwidth between 2 servers
by Dan Carl 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

What's the best way to do this? Daily, jpg images are added to an inhouse server. Everynight I want to backup these images to a server offsite, via rsync. What I want is to determine what to set the bwlimit to. I also want to estimate how many MB's of images I can move nightly. Thanks Dan

PCNS for CentOS and APC ups's
by Joseph L. Casale 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Apparently there is only an Itanium client for RHEL according to APC? I need to setup a few boxes to shut down safely and don't know if the PCNS 2.2.3 Linux version will do it? Anyone know why it needs Java as well? (Blegh) Assuming APC is fairly popular, how do you guys shutdown your CentOS boxes with a UPS with a management card in it? Thanks! jlc

Re: [CentOS] PCNS for CentOS and APC ups's

Well I'm not near the config, but I remember it was easy. The default timings match APC's defaults, so all you really need to do is set the UPS name (for identification purposes) and the comm type will be snmp, port will be something like <hostname>:161:<community> and set an email address to send alerts to. Testing is a little tricky as it dials directly in to the snmp interface, you could lower the "time on battery" and kick the plug on the ups and see if it initiates a safe shutdown, but that depends on how many other hosts are on the ups and if this host is in active production. It has worked in my environment though. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org <centos-bounces(a)centos.org> To: centos(a)centos.org <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Wed Feb 06 18:50:23 2008 Subject: RE: [CentOS] PCNS for CentOS and APC ups's >I use apcupsd from epel > >-Ross Reading about that now, it sounds a lot cleaner then that silly java based one from APC. Can you elaborate on how you add it as a device into the UPS and share a config in this scenario?

Installation problems with large mirrored drives
by Bowie Bailey 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

I am trying to install CentOS 4.6 to a pair of 750GB hard drives. I can successfully install to either of the drives as a single drive, but when I try to use both drives and mirror the partitions, I start having problems. Anaconda crashes as it is trying to format the drives. This is what I'm trying to create: /dev/md0: 200MB, /boot /dev/md1: 2GB, swap /dev/md2: rest of the drive, LVM PV LogVol00: 10GB, / LogVol01: rest of the VG, /home I uploaded the anaconda log to the CentOS bugtracker, but I don't know if or when I should expect a response from that, so I'm asking here as well. If you want to see the log, here's the link: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2652 Is there a way I can work around this problem? It has been suggested that I build the system with a single drive and then add the mirror to it. Is it possible to add a mirror to a partition that is an LVM PV? Can someone give me a link to a good set of instructions for doing this? Thanks, -- Bowie

One other person has reported seemingly the same nfs problem in the Scientific Linux mail list: http://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0801&L=scientific-linux-devel… According to this post, "It only seems to affect x86_64 systems, or affects them much more noticeably than it does i386 ones."

The problem only occurs when I try to mirror the partitions. I may give your suggestion a try tomorrow when I have more time to play with the system. -- Bowie
