Re: [CentOS] Upgrading CentOS from 7 to 8
by Young, Gregory 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

The way we did in place upgrades from CentOS 6 to 7 for our network appliance VMs: 1. Take a backup of our appliance (database, settings, uploads, etc.). Store the backup on a separate partition/volume. 2. Copy the CentOS 7 Minimal .iso, with our added packages, to the backup partition/volume (disk.iso in the below code). 3. Copy the initrd and vmlinuz images to the boot partition (cp loop/isolinux/vmlinuz loop/isolinux/initrd.img /boot/). 4. Backup the current GRUB config (cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.bakupgrade). 5. Copy our custom kickstart file to the boot partition/volume. 6. Drop the upgrade GRUB menu config on the boot partition/volume. ``` default=0 timeout=0 serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 terminal --dumb --timeout=5 serial console title upgrade root (hd0,0) kernel vmlinuz rd.lvm=1 rd.md=1 inst.ks=hd:/dev/${disk_device}1://ks.cfg inst.repo=hd:/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_backup://disk.iso inst.sshd inst.cmdline inst.noninteractive inst.noshell inst.headless net.ifnames=0 selinux=0 ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0 vga=792 modprobe.blacklist=floppy consoleblank=0 biosdevname=0 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 initrd initrd.img ``` ${disk_device} can be found using: ``` disk_device=$(lsblk | grep disk | grep -e '^[h,s,v]da' -e 'xvda' -e 'nvme0n1' | awk '{print $1}' | head -1) ``` I can't guarantee the LVM route will work with CentOS 8, we had to use CentOS 7.3's LiveOS image to do this, as after that version the ability to access the .iso on a LVM disappeared (I think it was an unintended feature of 7.3 and older).

Hi, I'm doing some tests of upgrading CentOS from 7 to 8 reading this step-by-step guide: https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnetshopis… I'm trying this upgrade in a VM, so I can save "snapshots" and restart in a past saved point. However, all my test ends wrong, exacly in Step 4 when I run "rpm -e `rpm -q kernel`". Then, systems says that some packages are kernel dependencies. After I remove that dependencies, I can't remove kernel... Anybody has tested process upgrade from 7 to 8?

snmpd[11277]: Duplicate IPv4 address detected, some interfaces may not be visible in IP-MIB
by Thomas 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Hello. I have installed a new Centos 8 VM and trying to install net-snmp as I did already a 100 times. But this install is stressing me :-) I get the error in the subject when starting the snmpd daemon. I am 100% shure that there is no duplicate address on this machine. It has two IPv6 addresses in it's /64 range but the error speaks about IPv4. And it has just one IPv4 on the public interface and an internal IPv4 (private range) on its internal interface. Tried to create a new snmpd.conf file with "snmpconf -g basic_setup" but it gives always the same error. Anybody had this problem already? Thanks for any suggestions how to resolve this.

How do I install the "right" python3-tkinter in CentOS Stream 8?
by Steven Rosenberg 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

In CentOS Stream 8, A yum upgrade just upgraded platform-python to platform-python-3.6.8-41.el8.x86_64.rpm. The upgrade wouldn't go through until I removed python3-tkinter-3.6.8-40.el8.x86_64. Now I want to reinstall python3-tkinter, and the only version yum is offering is 3.6.8-40, and it offers to downgrade platform-python to 3.6.8-41. python3-tkinter-3.6.8-37.el8.x86_64.rpm python3-tkinter-3.6.8-38.el8.x86_64.rpm python3-tkinter-3.6.8-39.el8.x86_64.rpm python3-tkinter-3.6.8-40.el8.x86_64.rpm python3-tkinter-3.6.8-41.el8.x86_64.rpm How do I get yum/dnf to let me install the "right" one (3.6.8-41)?

how to display/create DUID?
by hw 19 Sep '21

19 Sep '21

Hi, I would like to assign an ipv6 address through the DHCPv6 server of pfsense. To configure a static address, I need to tell the DHCPv6 server a DUID. Apparently DUIDs belong to a particular machine and aren't supposed to ever change unless you re-install the operating system. I guess every network card would need it's DUID because devices can have multiple network adapters, though ... and what happens when you change out the card? IIUC, the DUID is required to ask for/get ipv6 addresses from a DHCPv6 server. So there must be a way to create one, and perhaps it has already been created. Does networkmanager do that? So how/where do find I this DUID on my server?

external USB drives, strange result on reawaking
by Jon LaBadie 18 Sep '21

18 Sep '21

My backup system (using amanda) stores its data on external drives in a single 4 bay USB enclosure. As these drives are only needed during backup or recovery operations I have used hdparm to enable them go to an idle state after a period of inactivity. If I attempt to access any of the data when the drives are sleeping I get a strange result. Suppose I try to list one of the mountpoints, "ls .../D2", there is the expected delay while the 4 drives spin up and then ls completes with no output. I know each of the 4 drives has 40 subdirectories under the mount point. And each of the 3 other reawakened drive lists properly. But the directory I used to awaken the drives lists as empty. This effect is not limited to inititally listing a mount point. Had my command been "ls .../D2/DS1-044", DS1-044 would appear empty, but DS1-043 and all other similar directories list properly. Further, if I attempt to access a file I know exists in DS1-044 by its explicit name, that succeeds. It is like having execute permission, but not read permission on the directory. If I unmount and re-mount the filesystem, all is normal. Any clues as to why this happens, or ways to make the invisible visable again without the unmount/mount sequence? Jon -- Jon H.
