OT iSCSI best practices
by Ugo Bellavance 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi, I have an HP MSA 2000i as SAN (iSCSI) and since I'm starting with SANs, I'm seeking for advice. We are currently using HP Proliant 380 G5 + MSA 70 (SAS, direct-attached storage) for our production servers. At first, I thought I'd be using the SAN only for non-critical operations, like temporary additional storage for disk-based backups and snapshots, so I planned on using my existing network equipement to connect the SAN. Now I'd like to use it as storage for some blade servers that I want to use for virtualisation, so reliability is more important. I'd just like to evaluate the risk, to make sure I plan correctly. The SAN is a dual controller, dual-port, with a mix of RAID10 and RAID 50 arrays, so this is pretty solid. However, if I'm using only one switch to connect the initiators to this SAN, is it more risky than relying on the non-redundant RAID controllers that are in my HP servers? If it is recommended that I use multipathing, I guess that means 2 switches, additionnal nics but also another interconnect in the blade enclosure? If you need more information, just let me know :). Thanks in advance, Ugo

Clamav question after upgrade to 5.3 and 0.95
by Rob Kampen 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi list, I have installed ClamAV from rpmforge and followed the excellent CentOS how to on installing amavisd - all has appeared to just work as advertised - thanks to all those involved in getting these instructions together. Come time to upgrade to 5.3 and ClamAV 0.95 (logwatch has been encouraging me to do the ClamAV upgrade for a week or two) All appeared to work fine. However I now notice the following in my logwatch --------------------- amavis Begin ------------------------ 102 messages checked and passed. 3 messages with bad headers were found. ---------------------- amavis End ------------------------- --------------------- clam-update Begin ------------------------ Last ClamAV update process started at Wed Apr 8 04:02:26 2009 Last Status: main.cvd is up to date (version: 50, sigs: 500667, f-level: 38, builder: sven) Downloading daily-9211.cdiff [100%] Downloading daily-9212.cdiff [100%] daily.cld updated (version: 9212, sigs: 38627, f-level: 41, builder: guitar) Database updated (539294 signatures) from db.us.clamav.net (IP: 207.57.106.31) Clamd successfully notified about the update. ---------------------- clam-update End ------------------------- --------------------- Clamav Begin ------------------------ **Unmatched Entries** Database correctly reloaded (1039377 signatures) ---------------------- Clamav End ------------------------- My question is the number of signatures reported by the clam-update has never equaled the number reported in ClamAV database reload - they alway differed by around 792 or so. But after the upgrade to 0.95 and CentOS 5.3 it now reports nearly twice as many signatures! Whats up? Do I have two databases? Where do I find these? Interested in understanding this a little better. Thanks

FreeIPA
by Craig White 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

doing some googling, this seems to be about the most current/relevant thing I have found wrt to running freeipa server on CentOS http://howtoforge.com/how-to-build-rhel-ipa-rpms-for-centos-5 which I'm not totally adverse to doing but I have to ask, is there something packaged? (I've looked in 'testing' and in 'extras' and in epel) Has anyone followed some other instructions?

Trouble with 5.2==>5.3 upgrade
by fred smith 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

I've updated two 5.2 systems without a hitch. But this third one is giving me some grief. See errors below. Googling for "Package does not match intended download" turns up a bunch of hits, but none of them (that I've seen) offers any working solution. Can someone suggest how to overcome the following error(s) Thanks a bunch! Downloading Packages: (1/1): kernel-2.6.18-128. 100% |=========================| 15 MB 05:41 http://centos.mirror.nac.net/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el…: [Errno -1] Package does not match intended download Trying other mirror. http://ftp.lug.udel.edu/pub/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-128.…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror. http://mirrors.rit.edu/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.e…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror. http://mirror.newnanutilities.org/pub/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror. http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror. http://mirror.stanford.edu/yum/pub/centos/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.…: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror.

I've tried several times, one of the retries I re-did "yum clean all" to see if I had bad metadata, and it re-downloaded ALL 250 packages again but still encountered the same error. I tried again using "yum clean metadata" and that didn't help either. Advice appreciated. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The Lord is like a strong tower.

I don't know if I really like this background though it is kind of neat. Where do I find the app to change this?
