Question about iostat output
by Pascal Robert 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hello, We are planning to moving most of our servers to ESX but before buying our SAN, we want to do some I/O stats to see if iSCSI is enough or if we have to go with FC. So I found a plugin for Nagios that can log I/O stats with iostat. So far it's fine with single disk/one partition servers, but on our Oracle Database 10g server, we have two drives in RAID 1 (/dev/sda) and 4 other drives in RAID 10 (/dev/sdb). When I query iostat, I get : [root@golgoth ~]# iostat Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp (golgoth.acaiq-ctb.lan) 09/21/2009 avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle 1.83 0.00 3.04 0.79 94.34 Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn sda 8.44 12.25 32.40 489731534 1295151278 sda1 0.00 0.00 0.00 21360 7478 sda2 6.60 80.90 44.41 3234128950 1775185432 sda3 0.05 0.20 0.23 7852212 9358056 sda4 0.00 0.00 0.00 2 0 sda5 41.16 38.59 95.20 1542695170 3805566528 sdb 2.84 72.63 28.91 2903208392 1155519494 sdb1 3.67 77.14 23.90 3083762026 955474128 sdb2 1.62 102.92 5.00 4114412086 200045262 So why sda have a lower TPS and bytes read/write than one of it's partitions (sda5, which is the root partition)? I guess I would have to collect the stats for each partitions to get what the total?

Xnest unable to connect with firewall enabled
by Sid Kapoor 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hi all, I have worked on both CentOS 5.2 and CentOS 5.3. In CentOS 5.2, I could connect to a remote X-server using Xnest binary provided by the package xorg-x11-server-Xnest-1.1.1-48.41.el5 with firewall settings enabled. I enabled the firewall settings from system-config-securitylevel. Now in CentOS 5.3 with firewall settings enabled, I am unable to connect to the remote X-server using Xnest (xorg-x11-server-Xnest-1.1.1-48.52.el5). To successfully connect, I have to either disable firewall settings or filter the TCP ports on which Xnest connects to the remote server. Is there an issue regarding firewall settings in CentOS 5.3 ? I want to connect to the remote X-server without disabling the firewall settings. How is possible ? Thanks in advance. Siddharth

dhcpd logging to dhcpd.log only
by Dan Carl 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

I've added this to my dhcpd.conf log-facility local6; and added this to my syslog.conf local6.* /var/log/dhcpd.log It's still writing to dhcpd info to both log files. How do I stop this. I've googled but all suggested modifications I've made to the dhcpd.conf causes dhcpd to not start. Thanks Dan

Re: [CentOS] Xnest unable to connect with firewall enabled (possible bug with 5.3)
by Sid Kapoor 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hi, My requirement is to use Xnest only. It was working seamlessly with 5.2 but not with 5.3 I am using this command to connect to the remote X-server. Xnest :1 -geometry 800x600 -query *<ip-address-of-X-server>* Can anyone confirm the same behavior? Or shall I file the bug in bugzilla?

Clarify TTY and virtual consoles
by Yungwei Chen 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hi, I need some help to clarify TTY and virtual consoles. Thanks a lot. 1. I learned that to switch from one TTY to another, one must be at the physical machine. Does the same apply to virtual consoles? 2. My /etc/inittab includes the following. Does that mean there's only one instance of TTY on my CentOS? ... # Run gettys in standard runlevels co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav #1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 #2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 #3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 #4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4 #5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 #6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6 3. My CentOS was installed with Base option only. (This should be the minimum.) I don't plan to use any GUI stuff, and I always connect to my CentOS server using SSH. In this case, do I still need virtual consoles and TTYs defined in /etc/securetty? 4. What does "console" mean in /etc/securetty?
