bonding driver with arp detection
by nate 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hello - Was wondering if anyone is running the bonding network driver in active/backup mode using arp_validate? I'm trying to deal with really crappy network switches from Dell and I thought I could work around their faults in the short term by switching from link monitoring to arp monitoring. But I ran into a situation just now that seems even arp monitoring isn't enough. This is my config for the system: CentOS 5.2 base 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel (I think it's a 5.3 kernel) Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.2.4 (January 28, 2008) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: None Currently Active Slave: eth1 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 0 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 ARP Polling Interval (ms): 1000 ARP IP target/s (n.n.n.n form): 10.16.1.1, 10.16.1.254 Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 2 Permanent HW addr: 00:21:9b:8d:f1:0c Slave Interface: eth1 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 1 -- Both IPs are supposed to be redundant, .1 is a pair of stacked piece of shit Dell gigabit switches, the other is a pair of F5 LTM load balancers. System had been running fine for about the past 9 days since I enabled this stuff, and then for some reason could no longer talk to 10.16.1.254, looking at tcpdump I saw the system almost flooding the link for arp requests for that address and maybe getting one in 10 answered. Communication with 10.16.1.1 was fine by contrast. 40 other systems on the same LAN communicate with both addresses constantly so I know both were more or less OK, it was something with the switch itself(have seen behavior on multiple Dell switches where they decide to stop forwarding traffic, which is what prompted me to switch from link monitoring to arp monitoring) At the time the system was running on eth0, so I brought that interface down and it immediately failed over to eth1 and things were ok again. I have since failed it back to eth0 and things are still fine. What I'd like to do if possible is configure the bonding driver to fail if either of the arp attempts fails, as far as I can see the default is even if 1 succeeds then the driver thinks it's ok. Looking at the arp_validate option it seems it only applies to slaves, not to the active link. Is there any thing I can do to make the driver fail if even one of the two addresses is not responding? I have noticed that in some cases the fail over does work, checking several systems they all have at least 1 link failure detected for each interface. Longer term my goal is to replace the switches entirely, been pushing that for about a month now. just goes to show you get what you pay for when you buy crap equipment(wasn't my idea), sigh. thanks nate

Request advise regarding Driver for Intel Motherboard
by Sanjay Arora 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hello All I made the mistake of assuming all Intel motherboards would be Linux compatible out of the box and bought one without checking support information. And now on initial install the Network is not working....the Network port is not detected at all. I have bought an Intel board DG41RQI (http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/DG41RQ/index.htm) which does not support Linux Out of Box. I am using a Core 2 Duo E7200 64 bit processor. I am installing CentOS 5.x XEN, minimal install for a XEN dom0. The Intel Linux Support page links to this page here http://forgeftp.novell.com/driver-process/pub/update/realtek/sle10sp2/commo… and lists a lot of drivers. Can someone please advise me which ones I need to install for my particular motherboard & processor type? Also, will these drivers clash with yum updatation from CentOS repos? Can someone please guide and if possible, comment on issues I will face. Intend to install minimal xen dom0 install and couple of low utilization servers and linux desktop. Also, would like to know if I can install Windows XP on same desktop under XEN. With best regards and thanks. Sanjay.

Remote backup of server
by happymaster23 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hello, I want mount directory of one server to another over internet. I was looking to NFS4, but there are no security mechanisms. I need encrypted connection using private key (something like SFTP). Or - if there is in CentOS repo (or EPEL) package, that can mount directory over internet using private key and make differential backup (like rdiff-backup). Thank you very much for links or other resources work up Martin Šťastný

What are you doing right?
by Phil Lembo 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

I'm a sysadmin by trade, so in my daily work I get to try out all kinds of new technology including operating systems. Over the last year I've noticed that many other distros won't run on some of my hardware (e.g. a Thinkpad T61, Dell E510, GX620) at work and home. But CentOS does. Without fail. Every time (well, there's that old Dell Inspiron 1200 that sits in the kitchen... but we won't go there). Last night I had a hard disk crash on one of my home boxes, so I decided to use it as an opportunity to try out another well known RHEL clone that is also currently at v5.3. Although the md5sum on the disk checked out it wouldn't even boot. I then tried their Live CD. Still no good. So for good measure I tried the latest (v9.x) from another project (you know, the one with the orange and brown color scheme). NG. So the question is, what is CentOS doing *right*? A very sincere thanks to the CentOS project team for all their hard work in making a distro I know I can always rely on.
