Dell Perc snmp
by Joseph L. Casale 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

I am trying to help a friend with a 2850 and snmp monitoring of a controller and its arrays. I don't have any dells, do they have a rpm to make easy work of this for the Percs? They have a monitoring solution already. Any hints I could pass on would be appreciated! Thanks, jlc

What fires logrotate
by Al Sparks 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

I've been taking a look at how RedHat (and CentOS) handles logrotate. According to the man page, logrotate is supposed to be fired by cron. But when I look at root's crontab $ sudo crontab lu root no crontab for root What exactly fires logrotate (and other scheduled events like "logwatch", which ends up in root's inbox)? === Al

Try this: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/hardware You can actually use yum to download Dell's rpm repositories. Also, they have their own mailing list that I've found very helpful for these types of issues. It's at linux-poweredge(a)lists.us.dell.com. === Al ----- Original Message ---- From: Joseph L.

VPN traceroute is not consistent/ Bind cannot transfer
by Fajar Priyanto 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I've got this strange thing: I setup a openvpn link between two openwrts. NetA: 192.168.2.0/24 NetB: 192.168.0.0/24 In netA there is a mail server + DNS: 192.168.2.44, with domain name branch.abc.com In netB there is a mail server + DNS: 192.168.0.44, with domain name abc.com I setup both DNS server to be a slave server of each other domain. - From NetA, it is able to 'copy' the abc.com zone from NetB. But from NetB, it isn't able to copy the branch.abc.com from NetA. In /var/log/messages, the error is: mail named[1566]: zone branch.abc.com/IN/external: Transfer started. mail named[1566]: transfer of 'branch.abc.com/IN' from 192.168.2.44#53: connected using 192.168.0.44#50125 mail named[1566]: transfer of 'branch.abc.com/IN' from 192.168.2.44#53: failed while receiving responses: REFUSED mail named[1566]: transfer of 'branch.abc.com/IN' from 192.168.2.44#53: end of transfer mail named[1566]: zone branch.abc.com/IN/internal: refresh: unexpected rcode (REFUSED) from master 192.168.2.44#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0) I've put allow-transfer in: zone "branch.abc.com" { type master; allow-transfer { 192.168.0.44; }; file "branch.abc.com.zone"; }; Adding to the confusion: - From NetB, doing a traceroute to 192.168.2.44 result is OK. But, when I restart named, the traceroute to 192.168.2.44 brings no response. But, tracerouting to other PC in NetA succeed.

I am now > older and wiser and have read things like: > http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/SourceInstalls?highlight=(cpan) I attempted this once while building a new machine. It was amazing how fast I got bogged down in dependencies. Almost none of the modules that I needed were available from the repos and as soon as I packaged up one and tried to install it, I found I needed 3 more for dependencies (which also weren't available). I finally gave up trying to install Perl modules via Yum/rpm. I now use CPAN to install Perl packages and Yum for everything else. I find this works well for me and saves an incredible amount of time. If someone would come up with a way to automate the dependency resolution so that I could grab and package everything at once, then I would do it, but I just don't have time to go through the download, package, install, find dependencies, download, package, install, ... process. Apparently, this is on the wishlist for cpan2rpm, but is not implemented yet. -- Bowie

RE: Adaptec 2820 & 2gig+ partitions
by Brian Marshall 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi All, I have some general questions about setting up partitions. I have been struggling to get an array to mount since I upgraded the drives and exceeded a 2 gig partition so now the logical drive won't mount after the install. That being said I have a few questions. Does anyone have any experience or advice for setting up large arrays on 5.2 x86_64? My understanding is I need to setup a GPT partition but I am not having any luck getting a good configuration during the install process. Should I just not try during the install and use parted afterwards or is there a better way to go about this? Also, during testing I just let it do a default configuration on the drives and noticed that it setup a 100mgb partition with the boot map on it and the rest as a LVM volume. Is this a preferred way to do it these days? Thanks for any advice/help Brian

I grabbed the file and tried it out to see what it would do. It dumped what looked like a spec file and then gave an error. $ ./dar-perl.py Compress::Zlib [normal spec information snipped] %files %defattr(-, root, root, 0755) %doc Changes MANIFEST META.yml README examples/ %doc %{_mandir}/man3/Compress::Zlib.3pm* %dir %{perl_vendorlib}/Compress/ #%{perl_vendorlib}/Compress/Zlib/ %{perl_vendorlib}/Compress/Zlib.pm %changelog Traceback (most recent call last): File "./dar-perl.py", line 679, in ? print >>out, '* %s %s - %s-1' % (time.strftime('%a %b %d %Y', time.localtime()), authorities[logname], version) KeyError: 'bowieb' $ Any idea what happened here? What exactly is this program supposed to do? Can someone give me an example of how to use it to install a Perl module and its dependencies? -- Bowie
