I've /never/ seen RHEL/CentOS or any of its predecessors renumber ethernet ports on a working system.. Yeah, I have never seen it renumber either? I've seen it number them backwards, such that eth0 was the port labeled '1' outside the chassis and eth1 was port '0', but it was extremely

[CentOS] pxe menu help

2008-09-03 Thread Joseph L. Casale
I am trying to setup a series of vmware esx 3i systems to be provisioned by pxe. Since you can pass the extracted config to the hypervisor in the pxe append line as a file on the tftp server, I presume I can use my CentOS DHCP/PXE server to hand out assigned ip's to specific hosts. Thus, I need a

I haven't tried esx 3i myself yet, but kickstarting ESX 3 was similar to red hat kickstart with anaconda and stuff, I did all my configuration by hand afterwards because of the trunked/tagged network ports which aren't compatible with PXE, and I surely didn't want to risk an automated install to

WHat do you mean? Do you boot from one of the NICS, or a CD, or what? If you boot from a NIC via a TFTP server, you may be encountering the issue I describe which simply needs a kernel arg to fix you up. jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org

nice doesn't really do anything with respect to I/O. Yes I tried it and it never made a diff from one end of the spectrum to the other:) The best way to control I/O in this manor is to physically isolate it from the rest of the system(be it on a different controller connected to different disks

I need to replace a slow HP MSA20 that's a bottleneck right now (We are an HP shop). HP's only option with 3.5 SATA drives is stuck at SATA I behind a SAS controller. Dell makes an MD1000 that claims SATA II speeds behind a SAS Perc 5/E (Don't know anything about dell). Anyone got any real

If that doesn't do it for you then maybe choosing a different scheduler then cfq can help. Something like 'deadline' may work better for the workload. AFAIK ionice will only work with the cfq scheduler for now. Appreciate that info, I have just been reading about the difference but cant say I

I assume you're talking about the MSA60? Yup We have several of those installed and haven't seen any bottle necks there. Even the fastest SATA drives fall short of the 150MB/sec max SATA I throughput. And if you could push the 1.5Gb/sec on the SATA side, then the SAS side with a 4x port

Sorry for hi-jacking this thread, but it's very interesting. What's the difference, apart from the speed price between SAS SATAII? SAS is more enterprise geared, relating to speed and MTBU (probably a load of crap on that point) and SATA is cheaper and does not perform as well, supposedly

Postrouting is the correct one. After everything is routed it is MASQ before leaving the interface. That makes sense, but I am stuck at making the transition, should I simply pull the port specifications from my third line in the FORWARD chain to the first line in the POSTROUTING chain?
