[CentOS-virt] Xen to KVM migration
Hi, I'm thinking about how to go about migrating our Xen VMs to KVM. Migrating the configuraton should be easy using the virsh dumpxml/define commands but what is the best way to transfer the (logical volume based) images without too much downtime for the guest system? Can rsync operate on logical volumes? If so I could potentially use dd to transfer an initial copy of the image to the destination host and then shut down the guest, rsync the logical volumes which shouldn't take too long as not much data has to be transfered thanks to the initial dd and then boot the guest on the new machine. Is something like this possible or would you do something different? Regards, Dennis ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

Morning, On 10 Oct 2009, at 17:12, Brian Mathis wrote: The better solution would be to make sure you are prepared for when the hardware does fail. Inform the client that you understand that they don't want to upgrade the servers, and that hardware failure is not a case of if but when. Lay out a plan to them describing what would happen when that occurs, and how you will make sure that their downtime is minimal. Can't agree more. You want to present to the client that you care first and foremost about their business needs. It's a simple calculation - work out what's involved in maintaining the old systems, and compare that to the cost of upgrading. These sorts of conversations are often about the difference between operational expenditure and capital expenditure - your client may be willing to pay more long term support costs, and not be prepared to buy new hardware and pay you to upgrade the systems. It sounds to me that you want to upgrade because you're assuming it's the right thing to do. That's a big assumption - go through the business cases, and make sure your client understands you're on their side which ever way the decision goes.

[CentOS] trying to understand OSS, GPL, BSD other licensing model for software distribution.
Hi all, We are busy developing some software (some is web based, others not) and I am having a bit of hard time understanding (or rather, choosing) a license model to work with, We will offer some free software (PHP based scripts, and even Windows based applications) and for this I'm sure the GPL, or even LGPL (for the network side?) will work fine. But, we also need to suppose these scripts, and will be charging for support (other for installations, customization, or even custom derivations, etc), but at the same time we need to distribute some commercial software to cover developer's salaries, rents, marketing, business growth, etc. Now, my question(s) is as follows: Can I sell one script as GPL, but another as AGPL, or even BSD under the same company name? And if these 2 are tied together (i.e. being able to be used together, although seperate programs / script - for example Apache + PHP), how would I license them? We are writing a series of PHP + MySQL based scripts which can be used on the internet, either stand-alone, or in conjunction with other scripts (API driven), and I want to offer a free, limited edition, as well as commercial edition with more features. We're also writing some software that makes use of MySQL / sqlite / postgresql, and even MSSQL, so I need to take their licenses into consideration. What would be the best license for this? I know it's broad, but there's just too much to readup on the different licences and I've read a lot already, not knowing where to go. I have a feeling that I may need to go the dual / multi-license route, but even then I don't know which licences to use. The open source projects wouls also be open for other people to add their own modifications, but I would also like to allow others to write commercial addon's as well.

You want to present to the client that you care first and foremost about their business needs.

But, we also need to suppose these scripts, and will be charging for support (other for installations, customization, or even custom derivations, etc), but at the same time we need to distribute some commercial software to cover developer's salaries, rents, marketing, business growth, etc. Now, my question(s) is as follows: Can I sell one script as GPL, but another as AGPL, or even BSD under the same company name? And if these 2 are tied together (i.e. being able to be used together, although seperate programs / script - for example Apache + PHP), how would I license them? We are writing a series of PHP + MySQL based scripts which can be used on the internet, either stand-alone, or in conjunction with other scripts (API driven), and I want to offer a free, limited edition, as well as commercial edition with more features. We're also writing some software that makes use of MySQL / sqlite / postgresql, and even MSSQL, so I need to take their licenses into consideration. What would be the best license for this? I know it's broad, but there's just too much to readup on the different licences and I've read a lot already, not knowing where to go. I have a feeling that I may need to go the dual / multi-license route, but even then I don't know which licences to use.

I believe the problem is evident from the strace. He binds the socket to
eth2 based on querying the MAC address. That means he will only receive
packets on eth2 and since the network layer has determined that origin
and destination are the same, it's passing the traffic across the
loopback interface. Thus he will never see a response from the ietd
daemon.
If my interpretation is correct, then the two possibilities I see are
that this is either a design restriction or a bug.

I don't understand why he was using external ip addresses for a
loopback connection. He should just have used 127.0.0.1 in the
iscsid.conf and allowed it in the initiators.allow and targets.allow
and been done with it.
Nobody should bother with MAC addressing it's iSCSI not FCoE or ATAoE
so MAC addresses are irrelevant, it can even run over P2P connections
with no MAC addressing.

Re: [CentOS] Simple way to banish IP addresses ?
There is an iptables geoip module to allow you to specify countries. I never used it thought. The advantage of denyhosts is that it not only bans addresses but also shares banned hosts with a network of a few thousands of installations (an opt-in option), so you are not on your own. Moving ssh to a none standard port is the best thing you can do under the circumstances you describe, IMHO. Another option might be to tar-pit attackers (using iptables) - that way you can slow down their traffic so hopefully they'll eat less of your bandwidth. -Amos On 10/10/09, Toby Bluhm t...@alltechmedusa.com wrote: Toby Bluhm wrote: Niki Kovacs wrote: Hi, I just set up a web server... and my bandwidth is being eaten by some chinese folks trying to brute-force-ssh their way into the machine.

Cheers, Try fail2ban from rpmforge. Also, if you're using the standard fw that ships with centos, you can stop entire blocks of IPs by manually inserting rules after iptables starts: iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT 1 -s 1.2.3.4/24 -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP IP ranges by country: http://www.countryipblocks.net/country-blocks/select-formats/ The IP ranges will change from time to time, so you have to check often. You could script in a download from http://www.countryipblocks.net/continents/ to keep it current. Like someone said, if you have to keep ssh open to the world, changing the port number will dramatically cut down on the attempts. -- tkb ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CentOS 5.3 on X86_64: yum installs both i386 and x86_64 packages
Hello, Is it advisable to clean up the system by deleting the i386 rpms? If so how do you know which ones to remove and which ones CentOS or RHEL require to be installed? You can use “yum list installed \*.i386″ to list all of the i386 rpms installed on your x86_64 system and I assume you could use “yum remove installed \*.i386″ to remove them all. If there were a few which were necessary to keep you could exclude them in yum.conf. Thanks for the help, Patrick ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It depends on what you're doing. If you really need some package which does
not exist in x86_64 version, use i386. If all you need exists in x86_64, there
is no need to use i386 packages.
If so how do you know which ones to remove and which ones CentOS or RHEL
require to be installed?
You don't actually require any i386 rpms at all if you're not using any i386
programs.
You may find the output of the following two commands interesting:
rpm -qa --qf %{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n | grep -v 'x86_64\|noarch\|gpg-pubkey' list
rpm --test -e $(cat list)
You can remove all i386 packages with this command:
yum remove \*.i?86
If yum tells you that it's removing something you need at this point, then you
should obviously stop and fix it (with excludes or whatever) before continuing.

If we are talking about a workstation for a user, better keep, but if you talking about a server, maybe. Most probably you will have to install some i386 packages at some point.

Re: [CentOS] customized centos 5.4 install, core install?
Hi, Thanks for all your replies. I checked out spacewalk and cobbler, both of which look like they require a network support infrastructure, at least a tftp server. I want to use a CD or DVD. Kickstart sounds like the way to go, but i'm looking to have everything self contained, for example if i want to install the postfix package, i'll want to remove sendmail, set up postfix to start at selected runlevels and configure the main.cf and master.cf files so that when the box reboots postfix is ready to go. I'd also like to have this install as slimmed down as possible, for example i probably won't be using x so i'd prefer not to have any x packages in the install dvd. Thanks. Dave.

On the other hand, it's a *massive* investment of time to install, configure, and get working correctly. Furthermore, it was late April, right before my contract there ran out, that they went up to release 0.5. I would *NEVER* recommend using a release under 1.0 for anything important.
