How to prevent host boot problems with virtual client disk?
by Theo Band 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

I added one new disk to my Centos5 machine and I want to dedicate this disk to one of my virtual machines (also Centos5). After I added the (empty) disk the machine starts up fine and identified the disk as /dev/sdd It makes we wander what might happen to the host during a future (re)boot. The new disk will get a partition table and logical volumes, all which should be private to the client. The (KVM) host however will also see this disk during boot. My host volume group has a non standard name to prevent collision with the volume group name of the client (VolGroup00 for instance). I know I can even ignore the client group all together on the host. Now I am afraid that during boot time the host sees /dev/sdd as the first disk and tries to boot from it (bios update/reset for instance). Is this a real risk? My question is thus, how can I prevent that this (physical) client disk can be used for booting by the host without messing with the bios/cables? Should I first partition the disk and give one partition to the client (the disk than has a second disk layout stored on this partition). A similar thing can be done with a logical volume, but is this wise? Theo

Images tagged as -6- are updated, most current images that we recommend everyone use. The other set of images are tagged as -6.3- and represent package sets at 6.3 release time. More details about this can be found on the Release Notes page at http://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS ---------------------- About the CentOS Cloud SIG We are a group of people looking to address issues and help people with CentOS adoption in the cloud. Both as a cloud platform and as consumer images. A small but growing group, we hang out on the CentOS Virt list ( http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt ) and on the #centos-virt irc channel. Everyone with an interest in CentOS, Virtualisation, Cloud and related technologies is welcome to join in. These AWS images are developed, curated and released as a part of the CentOS Cloud SIG efforts. ---------------------- I'd like to thank everyone who helped with this release including the guys at AWS Marketplace. Tru Huynh for all the work helping with the image builds, the automation, testing and release work. Aaron Dunlop for testing and writing the Amazon CLI page in the wiki, JP Mens for his testing work and his Ansible page contribution in the wiki. Fabian Arrotin, James B.

Centos 6 Server has no GUI
by richard.hedin＠nokia.com 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

I believe I have the exact answer to "Centos 6 Server has no GUI" but I don't see how to attach my answer to that thread. I am running in Virtual Box on a Windows machine. When I changed my memory available from ½ Gb to 1 Gb , and my video memory to 24Mb, my installation script went from an interface reminiscent of MS-DOS in the 80's to a nice GUI installation, and my number of packages installed went from 200 and some to 1400 and some. Apparently, the installation identifies what your box is capable of, and installs only what's appropriate. And doesn't tell you! Regards, Rick

Centos 5 mock seems to be broken

The mock package updated today on our build server, and mock suddenly started to fail. The new version uses "try .. finally", which isn't available in python24. Anyone else seeing this?

RoR 3.2 can get by on 1.8.7 but support for Ruby versions prior to 1.9.3 is being dropped in the forthcoming RoR v4 release. Thus, a RHEL/CentOS rpm package for Rails really will not give you much, if anything. I suggest that you investigate both RBENV and RVM as alternatives to using the rpm packaged Ruby. I advise you consider that for RoR projects the Bundler gem is the preferred way of installing and managing project specific packages, including Rails itself. The down side to this approach is that your production servers need to have development tools installed to build the Ruby interpreter and the support gems. The up side is that you can version specific ruby vms and gemsets on a project by project basis. https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv https://rvm.io/ http://gembundler.com/ I used rvm almost from its inception but have recently changed to rbenv as this has a much smaller footprint on the user's environment. But both are excellent products. If you are installing RoR for a production environment then you will almost certainly need to consider using Passenger (mod-rails) as well. https://www.phusionpassenger.com/ HTH. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

The next release of ruby? from RH? will be the 1.93 or > some such, and include all the stuff in the enterprise version. RNENV and RVM are Ruby language installers that create a custom programming environment by user. REE is simply a modified Ruby VM based on 1.8.7 which was produced by the same people who provide the Passenger gem. Support of REE is / will be discontinued as MRI (Matz Ruby Interpreter) version 1.9.3 addresses most of the issues with v 1.8 that REE attempted to correct. > Development tools on a production box are a very, VERY bad idea. I > assume you can build the ruby app on your development box, and then > move it as a package to test, then prod. I am not sure that I can agree with this. All of our application servers are sealed. There are no local users other than administrators and application pseudo-users so the presence or absence of development tools is mostly moot. Anyone who penetrates a sealed server already knows enough that the absence of development tools is a negligible inconvenience. On the other hand, many RubyGems must be custom built on their target hosts. This is particularly true for DB adapters. To keep these gems up-to-date requires build tools. I suppose that I could direct that all build tools be removed after a gem update and reinstalled as required but the illusionary security benefit is simply not worth the very real labour cost. > > I've also seen an article or two about ruby not scaling up well. > From my experience here, the apps seem to be *very* fragile, and First, there are a lot of fragile COBOL applications that have been running in large corporations for decades. I know, I worked on some of them. On one system, run by a now defunct telecommunications giant, the corporate accounting staff had to calculate foreign currency adjustments off line and explicitly ADD the resulting figures to the production cost system as component items. This was necessary because the existing system did not handle foreign currencies and NO ONE was going to take the responsibility for breaking the entire cost accounting application just to add that feature. Just consider how fragile that is. The reason that there are a lot of fragile Ruby (and a plethora of any other languages that you care to name) Apps is mostly due to the sudden popularity of the language generated by the creation of a 'cool' new framework (in this case Ruby on Rails). The result is attraction of swarms of people from other languages who throw up (in both senses of the term) hastily built, generally untested, toy applications that simply are not designed to handle growth; or simply not designed at all. That is likely the case with most of these supposed 'fragile' apps. Apps which no-one seems able to name however. If one comes to Ruby from Python or PHP or MVB or dot.net or Java or C++ or C and just starts coding then one likely will end up with a Python, PHP, VB, dot.net, Java, C++ or C application. It will be written in Ruby but it will not be a Ruby app. The problem is succinctly put by the observation that one can write Fortran in any language. Of course, if you come from Smalltalk, then the case is somewhat altered. But, I digress. > it reminds me of python 10-12 years ago, where updating it one or > two subreleases broke everything that had been working, including > system tools. I cannot speak to what happened with Python a dozen years ago but it seems to me irrelevant to what is happening with Ruby today. > > ObStmt: No, I don't like ruby.

selinux policy and httpd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Nov '12

I upgraded a development server last week, and it started spewing selinux errors to the log. I googled. What finally *seems* to have stopped it was a) setsebool -P httpd_setrlimit 1 b) yum downgrade selinux-policy\* This is on a 6.3 box. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? mark

Hello, has anyone tried out HP Data Protector 7.0 on Centos 6.3? I have problems with uiproxyd, similar to http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Data-Protector-Support-and-News/DP-7-and-RedHa… It fails to start, and provides no usable information, neither with debug or strace. Thanks in advance,

System->Administation->Network
by Steve Campbell 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

I found quite a bit on google about the problem that "Network" does not show up under the System->Administration menu any more. All the solutions seem to indicate that I just need to install system-config-network-tui, but that doesn't change anything. I've turn off Network Manager before trying to do any of this because I want to configure my network offline. A little push in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks steve campbell
