If your trusted repo doesn't have all the packages needed, the system you tested on does not match the installed systems, hence you have no good test. If you have multiple system configurations, you need to test once on each system configuration. At that point, you will have all the packages you need to upgrade their peers. You might need one repo per system configuration, if the difference between them is great enough. But the number of such repos needed cannot be large, else you cannot be testing properly. For this whole scheme to work, you have to be able to one test machine for each stable machine, and say, "These two boxes have the same RPM set." >> A local repo is just a copy of a set of packages that does what you >> want.

That seems somewhat unreasonable. No. There is no more coupling here than between you and Red Hat. The private repo is a decoupling mechanism. The person updating the private repository does not have to be the one who uses it. >> If you think you want the freedom to install random things in an ad hoc >> fashion, that kind of goes against the idea of a tested repo. > > I don't want my own tested repos containing the same packages that are > available in the distribution.

Isn't it overkill to keep a whole repo > snapshot copy when you really just need a way to tell yum the package > versions you want on the 2nd box? Why all the agida? This isn't difficult: Step 0, done only once: set up yum repo, and modify the "stable" clients to use it: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/tony_smith/yum/ Leave the test machines pointing at the official yum repos. But, enable the "keepcache" setting in their yum.conf. Step 1: When each test machine is deemed stable after a yum update, rsync its /var/cache/yum/updates/packages tree into the yum repo. Step 2: yum-arch the updated repo Step 3: yum update the dependent machines. You can substitute cron discipline for Step 3, so that the yum updates always happen while the repo isn't being changed. That's it. Some minor setup, then three (or two) easy steps per update. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] XEN or KVM - performance/stability/security?
A late reply, but hopefully a useful set of feedback for the archives: On 04/20/2012 05:59 AM, Rafał Radecki wrote: > Key factors from my opint of view are: > - stability (which one runs more smoothly on CentOS?) I found that xenconsoled could frequently crash in Xen dom0, and that guests would be unable to reboot until it was fixed. I also found that paravirt CentOS domUs would not boot if they were updated before the dom0. In short, Xen paravirt was very fragile and troublesome. I never tested Xen with hardware virtualization. I have had no such problems with KVM. In my experience KVM is much more stable than Xen paravirtualization. Xen HVM probably would suffer at least some of the same problems. > - performance (XEN PV/HVM(with or without pv drivers) vs KVM HVM(with or > without pv drivers)) PV drivers will make some difference, but the biggest performance difference you'll see is probably the difference between file-backed VMs and LVM-backed VMs. File-backed VMs are extremely slow. Whichever system you choose, use LVMs as the backing for your guests. > - security There have been bugs that allow guests to escalate privileges and access host resources, but they're relatively few. I don't think there's a significant difference between the two in this area. Overall I advise the use of KVM. It should be more stable, and has the advantage of Red Hat support. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] when is the o.s. considered to be at a certain minor version? Or, is it safe to apply only certain package updates from the next release version?
If you dig through the Red Hat site enough, you will find that there is no Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2. There is only RHEL6. 5.x,6.x are NOT defined outside of what is on the isos. So far as I know, it applies to CentOS. This is not Solaris/AIX/HPUX/Windows. There are no defined releases or 'service packs' which guarantee a particular _set_ of minor versions to be present. .

I don't want my own tested repos containing the same packages that are available in the distribution. I want to be able to tell yum to reproduce the package list/versions that are on the tested system. It knows where to get them. Isn't it overkill to keep a whole repo snapshot copy when you really just need a way to tell yum the package versions you want on the 2nd box? If packages were routinely deleted from the public repos, cloning them to make sure you could get a copy of an older version in the future might make sense, but I don't think that has ever been an issue. And even simpler than tracking the full package/version list would be a way to tell yum to pretend that any packages in the repo newer than the update on the test box were not there.But, I don't think that meshes with the way repo metadata normally works - it probably would have trouble finding versions newer than installed but not the very latest even though it is trivial to see them in a directory listing yourself. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you only need IP handling then you can use keeplived which is more lightweight than pacemaker but can only deal with networking and nothing else. Hearbeat isn't developed anymore so if you want to go the pacemaker route you probably want to go for corosync+pacemaker instead.

[CentOS] Cyrus-imapd update from 2.2.12 to 2.3.16
We are trying to move our mail store from a host running cyrus-imapd 2.2.12 under CentOS-4 to one running 2.3.16 under CentOS-6. The current host is a 32 bit architecture. The new host is 64 bit. We have followed the update guide found at: http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.3.16/install-upgrade.php The steps we followed were: 1. Install cyrus-imapd et al on the new host. 2. Modify /etc/cyrus.conf and /etc/imapd.conf to suit our requirements. 3. On the old host dump the mailbox.db in flat format using /var/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_mboxlist -d > mboxlist.txt 4. Copy the mboxlist.txt file and the mail spool from the old to the new system 5. Run SELinux restorecon -fr on /var/spool/imap to set the correct contexts and ownership. 6. Load mailbox.db from mboxlist.txt using cat mboxlist.txt | /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_mboxlist -u 7. Run /usr/lib/imapd-cyrus/reconstruct -rfg user 8. Run /usr/lib/imapd-cyrus/reconstruct -G user 9. Run /usr/lib/imapd-cyrus/quota -f 10. Start saslauthd and cyrus-imapd services. All the transferred mailboxes are seen and the imapd configuration data seems correct. The problem is that the quotas reported for each mailbox tree do not seem to aggregate under 2.3 as they did on 2.2. So, for example a user with an overall allocation of 500Mb reporting 70% utilization for the INBOX on the 2.2.13 version reports 3% on the 2.3.16 server even though the contents of the mailbox trees are identical. It seems that the new version calculates quota only for the INBOX itself, and not for all of the sub-directory contents. Is this a change in behaviour for 2.3 vice 2.2 or do I have a problem? Has anyone run into this and if so, how was it resolved? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

No, its not what I what. I have multiple boxes but in different locations, all of which have good internet connectivity - better than to each other.. And the people who can verify the application level tests are not the same ones who would be managing a local repo copy so it would be much more cumbersome to mirror a repo to the same rev at all locations to freeze the contents, update a test box from it, have the testing performed, then update the production boxes from those frozen repos - and probably duplicating all that infrastructure for every application since different testing would be involved and the timing overlap would not be predictable. So far I've been fortunate that breakage from updates is very rare, so I've gotten by by just watching the list of updates that yum intends to perform for changes likely to affect anything between the tested version and the production rollout, but I'd really prefer it if yum had a way to do repeatable operations even if there are additions to the repos. Like Johnny said - he (and upstream) is in control of what yum will do - and realistically there has been more QA/testing on the code than any individual is likely to match so the possibility of breakage comes down to very specific things about your applications or hardware. Still, there is the suggestion that very controlled testing would be a good thing - but it would be even better if the tools supported it without having to roll out a vast amount of new infrastructure and administration. It seems really crazy to have to mirror an entire repository in every state that you might want to re-use just to be able to pick up updates to a minimally-installed system predictably. If you've included a few programs from EPEL (etc.), do you mirror that too? -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It seems to me that if you want this "stop on 6.x" feature, it's because you certainly[*] have more than 1 box to manage, which means keeping a local repo with local copies of the RPMs will result in faster updates, with less impact on your Internet link. So it's a feature. [*] If you have only 1 box to manage, there can be no need for this, unless you have some third party telling you which 6.x snapshot is blessed. Otherwise, you're testing that 1 box, and after testing, you're updated, so there is no need for a blessed repository. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

With any failover/VIP setup there is always the possibility of a split-brain but for the most part I haven't seen this happen in my environment. Also, use IPaddr2 as the resource type as it will do an gratuitous arp, significantly decreasing the failover time. eg. [haresources file] node.fqdn IPaddr2::10.10.10.10/24/eth1 Substitute your IP, mask and network interface. There are some options you can set as well that tell it not to fail back automatically, just so you can check the box that failed before pushing services back to it.

Hi, right now I am using only one external server as a gateway for the internal servers. I would like to enable a fail-over on a second server. To implement the floating VIP, should I use heartbeat+pacemaker? Or is there something more "lightweight"? Basically, I just need server2 up the VIP when server1 is down, and server2 down the VIP when server1 is back up (or server 1 does not up the VIP seeing server2 has it already).

Hm, I've used one block device for multiple VMs, which made it easier, and
prevent the hassle with x block devices for x VMs.
Other than that, no idea if virt-manager can do what you're looking for.

I tried that but find it a lot of effort to maintain. One shared (NFS) filesystem gives a lot more freedom to move a VM to a machine host machine that has a lower load. I don't mind doing that by hand. It's not for high availability. Theo ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yes, the script enumerates and runs the dhcp-plugin scripts in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/. I tried to create such a script there, but NetworkManager still does not run it.

Are those machines clustered? I used drbd/pacemaker/corosync to achieve
something similar across two CentOS hosts with KVM machines, and the VM can
only be started on the master node where the DRBD drive is mounted and
accessible. Live migrations are fairly easy too with this method

Whatever my namer server is (bind or dnsmasq) I still want to read the nameservers listed by DHCP, to pass them to it, and I still NM to allow DHCP to list its nameservers, but to only write 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf. So the way I see it, the problem is not dnsmasq, it is the lack of options in NM.

[CentOS] How to prevent virtual machines running twice on the disk images?
I use KVM on two identical centos5 hosts. I can live migrate the virtual machines from one to the other and it works great. Once I do this, I can see VM definitions on both hosts using virt-manager or virsh list --all On one machine the VM is running, on the other it reports "shut off". The disk images are accessible to both host machines and I want to have only one running a the time (of course). If the VM locks up, I could by mistake think that the machine is not running and try to start it on the wrong host. My question is, how can I prevent host A from starting a "shut off" VM that actually has been migrated to host B? The VM could actually be running on any another host. It could also have been crashed. The most simple solution would be some sort of lock file placed next to the disk image location, so seen by all hosts. But perhaps there is another way of working with virt-manager that I am not aware of? Theo ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

But if I make a separate file like /etc/nameservers than I will have to update it every time DHCP returns a different list of nameservers.
