The HP3000 series of MPE/iX mini computers ran on exactly the same hardware as the HP9000 HP-UX systems, but were priced considerably higher than their HP9000 equivalents. However, one could not simply run MPE/iX on the HP9000 hardware. One had to pay HPQ to come in and run a system utility that reset a flag on the processor to enable that. On the other hand, one could run HP-UX on the HP3000 hardware without requiring any changes. A similar thing applied to processor speeds. HPQ would typically release a family of HP3000/HP9000 processors that differed only in speed. The trick was all the processors in the family were identical other than the firmware settings. The processing speed was throttled by firmware switches that one could pay HPQ to turn off in order to increase usable processor cycles. As far as I could ever discover the clock speed was constant so one paid the same for the electricity and a/c whether one had the lowest or the highest processor speed. Mind you, we no longer deal with HPQ or employ any of their hardware because of these and similar experiences. In fact, HPQ's business practices are what turned our firm over to FOSS and commodity hardware in the first instance (after using HPQ exclusively for 20+ years).

Steam for Linux Fedora 17 -> CentOS 6.x
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Can somebody contact "Spot" and ask him if Steam for Linux can be compiled on CentOS 6.x? http://spot.fedorapeople.org/steam/ or will someone try it from src rpm's (same folder)? or is someone willing to take over building the rpm the old fashioned way from https://github.com/xvitaly/steamrpm ? I am to relocate to another town for new job and can not afford the spare time :-/ -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant

Re: [CentOS] Yum hangs while doing anything (FIXED)

On 07/01/2013 05:52 PM Eero Volotinen wrote: > is this fixing the issue: > > http://fedoranews.org/alex/tutorial/rpm/16.shtml I couldn't read any web pages because I shut down firefox hours ago (thinking I was upgrading it) and then it (the older version) wouldn't start again. But then I just solved the yum problem, upgraded several apps (including firefox) and the new firefox is working now. All I did was put the original /var/lib/rpm/Packages file back where it was. (If you read from a post from earlier today, I mv'd off this file and then ran rpm --rebuild to recreate it. This fixed the problem with yum hanging, but then I was getting crazy error messages from yum and from rpm.) Something told me to put the original Packages file back where it was, I did, and now yum works again. And the just-upgraded firefox works too. Thanks to you and everyone else who responded. I have to say, I still don't know what caused the problem in the first place. But sometimes things just have to be a mystery.

Dovecot SLOW with sssd in centos 6
by FABIO FERRARI 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Hello, I have a big performance problem with a mail server using dovecot and authenticating users via ldap. The architecture of the machine is a local ldap and mysql server, they are used by dovecot for authenticating the mail users. If i use pam_sss the mail server has about 1/8 - 1/10 the performances it has if i use the pam_ldap. Even doing a 'time ls -l' on the mail tree (there are about 3000 ldap users in that directory) it is very very slow, the first time I try to do it after a reboot, it takes about 6 minutes with sssd, and about 8 seconds with ldap. Since I know sssd is recommended, anyone knows that there is anything in configuration I can try to increase the speed, avoiding me to use the old pam_ldap module? thanks in advance, Fabio Ferrari

Yum hangs while doing update
by ken 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

About thirty minutes ago I started an update. Everything downloaded fine. But when it came to "Running Transaction", it hung: .... Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Updating : xulrunner 1/18 And there it sits still. There's plenty of disk space. The load on the CPU is under 1.0. There is some disk activity, but no way so much as to cause anything to hang and no major writing related to yum. Disk reads are just about null, except just now when I grep'ed for something to make sure that the disk could be read. I'm not using even half of the available RAM. Anyone else run into this problem?

Suffice it to say, everyone on this list knows their name, and they're not exactly a small VAR. Your assumptions are unfounded. Like at most companies, the purchasing folks are as far removed from the actual server operations/build folks that there's a complete disconnect anyway... I could talk to the wall as well as I could specify a vendor. They're pizza boxes. > our HP partner does *any* communication with HP for us as well as watching > that all neded licenses are re-newed before they are running out > > that is why they are certified gold partner and if your's is and does > not work like one it is *up to you* to intervene at HP so your vendor > is losing his gold-partner status They are, and I disagree. HP plays games with vendors and customers, they just deserve to lose them. I have better things to do with my time than tattle-tale on a VAR who's not keeping up on the metric ton of horsepucky coming from HP on what aren't really even high-end servers. Hey, if they want to play hardware licensing games on a giant blade server, okay... no biggie. These are pizza boxes that are literally less than $1000/ea in quantity. Over-engineering them to garner an extra couple hundred bucks to turn on hard disks, is a game... a game by a company not interested or not paying attention to what customers actually use these for... commodity hardware built by a large brand name with the ability to show up the SAME DAY with replacement parts. Otherwise, we'd all just buy the stuff at MicroCenter and let stuff fall out of the cluster as it croaked... the DL360/DL380 series, ain't high-end stuff by a large stretch. > if he does not have you are the fool responsible to hire the wrong one > > hint: no they are not expensive if you have a serious business and > work with the principle "live and let live", ours and his techs > after a few years became *real* friends with a lot of specific > knowledge and if you give them the feeling you would like to > have all for no money it's your fault and you are not a serious > business We get along fine with our VAR, and they've changed how they order those machines now... but HP's silly hardware licensing games are HP's self-created problem, which trickles down to the VARs. That can't be blamed on the VAR. They have hundreds of other vendor's products to keep up with, too. These are the types of cheap servers that the admin has always just TURNED ON THE SERVER AND USED IT. It's a pizza box. It isn't a mid-range HP-UX machine. It definitely isn't a Sun box. The rest of your snotty response and assumptions about the business, have been summarily ignored. Mostly because... a) Hey, it's a sysadmin job and the company is what it is. I've now been through something like 15 companies in my fairly long career (if you want to call it that), since before any company on the planet was using Linux... and some are good, some are bad. It has nothing to do with my opinion of a dumb feature added to cheap pizza box servers. b) Attacking people by claiming their company is somehow bad on a public mailing list is a great way to have your resume' find the round file immediately as soon as anyone recognizes your name on it from the tech lists. Sheesh. c) You're boring me to death. Feel free to say you like the new HP licensing features of their commodity cheap hardware, or you don't. I don't care what you think of any particular company practice here, or our choice of VAR. I *suspect* the person who posted just got the same surprise we did the first time it happened. Here's the kind of stuff people do with pizza boxes... 1. Open box, throw away (oh, I forgot... need to be PC... "recycle") cardboard. 2. Install drives and check nothing got unseated in shipping. 3. Boot and install OS from server or media with automated scripts/etc. 4. Shove in rack at datacenter and let it soak for a couple of days for infant mortality. 5. Send traffic to it and make money with it. HP added: 2a. Go find paperwork from purchasing department or stuffed in one of the many boxes with a pile of new servers to find some stupid license key and type it into BIOS. It's a complete waste of time for such low-end hardware and how most people use it. You ... may enjoy the additional silly step designed to annoy and garner a couple hundred more bucks from you, at your pleasure. The rest of your misguided opinions, as I said, will be summarily ignored. My initial response to the thread was curt and to the point and covered why HP servers now do this, succinctly. And IMHO, accurately. I wish you good tidings, and may you always be the smartest person with the "Best l33t GOLD level VAR EVAR !!1!" LOL... (just a note: I remember when there were no such things as "service levels"... you bought a server, the company would send you caviar and roses and wipe your butt just because you called, because servers were EXPENSIVE... the world got rid of/over that, a LONG time ago... just repeat after me... commodity hardware... commodity hardware... commodity hardware... I'm not saying I LIKE it, but hey... virtual farms and what-not... no one needs a pizza box acting all uppity like it's important in the grand scheme of the data center these days... servers that need things typed into the BIOS to find their hard drives... are dumb. Period.) Nate
