charset="iso-8859-1" All, The CentOS-4 distribution (current version 4.9) will be at End of Life on February 29, 2012. That means there is only 3 months left in the life cycle. This coincides with the date that the upstream provider stops releasing updates for their EL4 products. Users who still need the EL4 platform can contact Red Hat for their Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) product: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/extended_lifecycle_support/ Be advised that the upstream provider does NOT release their ELS source code publicly and therefore after February 29, 2012 they will no longer release security updates for their EL4 product line. Soon after 1 March 2012, the CentOS-4.9 tree will be moved off the main CentOS mirrors and placed on http://vault.centos.org/ where it will be available for reference. All users currently using CentOS-4 are advised to begin planning the upgrade to CentOS-5 (EOL Date: March 31, 2014) or CentOS-6 (EOL Date: November 30, 2017) ... or a move to the upstream ELS program for EL4. This will be the 3rd enterprise Linux distribution that the CentOS Project has taken to EOL, with CentOS-4.9 joining CentOS-3.9 and CentOS-2.1 in the vault. If you have any questions, please use one of the getting help methods from the CentOS Wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/Documentation?action=show Thanks, Johnny Hughes

megaraid/PERC
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 02 Dec '11

I've got two drives from a now-dead server, they were RAIDed, a mirror, I'd assume. I need to see if there's anything on them I need to transfer to the replacement, so I just shoved them into another Dell server, with a PERC 5 controller - I think that's what the dead one had. I fired up MegaRAID storage manager... but can't see any way to tell it to recreate that RAID. Anyone done this? mark

HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller
by Richard Gliebe 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hello, I'm trying to install CentOS 6.0 64bit on a HP ProLiant ML110 G7 with a HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller. One logical drive (RAID 1+0) on the RAID Controller is already build. CentOS Installation can't find the logical Drive, but it shows me the zwo physical drives (sda+sdb). After searching the web, I found following hints: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/raid-array-not-de… http://linuximagination.blogspot.com/2011/04/centos-installer-wasnt-detecti… OK. Downloaded the file "hpahcisr-1.2.6-7.rhel5.x86_64.dd.gz" and do the dd from another Linux workstation. # dd if=hpahcisr-1.2.6-7.rhel5.x86_64.dd.gz of=/dev/sdb (4Gig USB Stick) starting the CentOS 6.0 64 bit installation from the DVD boot: linux dd After loading the kernel, the installer is asking whether I have driverdisk and asked to indicate which drive (sdc) /dev/sdc is my 4Gig USB Stick. My problem is now, the step "Driver Disk" is failed: Failed to mount driver disk. any hints are very, very welcome. Thanks in advance Richard

System Time - UTC and Local Time
by Johan Martinez 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I have installed CentOS on a VM by checking 'System Clock uses UTC' option. Later I selected CST time zone. Now the date command shows UTC time with CST timezone: "Thu Dec 1 04:14:39 CST 2011". How do I change system clock to show CST local time? Also, more likely a dumb question but why isn't date command showing UTC here instead of CST? jM

how to install standard software on systems with heterogeneous hardware?
by Thomas Burns 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I've been thinking about ways to proceed if I need to set up 5 machines with basically identical software but somewhat variable hardware. A simple approach would be to just set up my golden system and clone the disk, but the hardware differences would probably cause problems. One approach that appeals to me is to install minimal centos on the first system, add a few rpms after installation, do my desired config file tweaks, then somehow generate an rpm that depends on all the post-install rpms and contains my custom versions of the config files I tweaked. Then, to set up the other 4 systems, I'd use the kickstart file from the first, then yum localinstall my custom rpm, which would install all the dependencies and tweak all the config files. I assume the centos install would deal with the hardware differences. Does this idea make sense? What happens when two different rpms want to provide the same config file? Are there any other simple alternatives I have overlooked? What is the best practice when setting up identical software on multiple systems with heterogeneous hardware? mahalo, Dave
