[CentOS] Centos 6 - Networking: Some Queries
Hello all I am setting up a Centos 6 machine with one network card & one onboard network port. Both are recognized & work. Onboard Network port is unused yet, but is required for dedicated access to LTSP LAN, which would allow older PIII machines to boot from this system. I have installed LTSP but again Networking seems to be the problem area, as the clients won't boot from this machine. Have muddled & tinkered with Networking a bit...deleted & reconfigured the ifcfg files again & again but as I don't understand NetworkManager and Google is not helping get relevant results, so I have brought the system to minimum working condition, where one network card is providing LAN access on which Internet Router is configured. And now I am posting my system's condition below as output of various commands. My network-scripts directory: [root@swyam network-scripts]# ls ifcfg-Internet_GW ifup-eth ifcfg-lo ifup-ippp ifdown ifup-ipv6 ifdown-bnepifup-isdn ifdown-eth ifup-plip ifdown-ipppifup-plusb ifdown-ipv6ifup-post ifdown-isdnifup-ppp ifdown-postifup-routes ifdown-ppp ifup-sit ifdown-routes ifup-tunnel ifdown-sit ifup-wireless ifdown-tunnel init.ipv6-global ifup net.hotplug ifup-aliases network-functions ifup-bnep network-functions-ipv6 Ifconfig output: [root@swyam network-scripts]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr E0:69:95:77:A7:F3 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:20 Memory:fe60-fe62 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:52:0C:0B:DE inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2245698 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1785431 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3105161344 (2.8 GiB) TX bytes:148843277 (141.9 MiB) Interrupt:16 Base address:0x2000 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:525 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:525 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:53459 (52.2 KiB) TX bytes:53459 (52.2 KiB) [root@swyam network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-Internet_GW TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=192.168.1.3 PREFIX=24 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 DNS1=218.248.245.1 DNS2=8.8.8.8 DOMAIN="218.248.245.1 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=no NAME="Internet GW" UUID=d4535709-a05b-459d-a4fd-f08ec9460bcc ONBOOT=yes DNS3=8.8.4.4 Network Manager is running and the above card "Internet_GW" was configured through the NetworkManager applet. Internet works. One can disconnect Internet through the NetworkManager applet. Yet the applet's Edit Connection --> Wired --> Last Used status shows "Never". Now let's come to what I want to do with this machineThe Onboard network port for LTSP servicesNetwork card on network 192.168.1.0/24(192.168.1.1 is the ISP ADSL router) to provide LAN access & Internet access. Now what I want to do is to create a third network for my virtual machines (KVM) say 172.16.1.1/24. Now create some sort of dummy bridge and get these machines talking to the Internetsaid bridge to either forward the packets through the normal Internet path or somehow use NAT to do it. I think this should be doable but haven't come across any example or any tutorial for this. Now comes why I want a separate networkwhy not use 192.168.1.0/24...problem is...I don't want to disable Network Manager by putting Managed=NO in my ifcfg file. As with Network Manager enabled, I can use USB devices whenever my ISP goes downand I'm afraid it happens more frequently than I care to bear. I frankly also don't understand how Network Manager worksin a broad mannerliterature I found was either too technical or too old or was focussed on a particular problem. I would like to know a network/bridge/device topology that can solve my issuethree networks...lan. ltsp, virtual machines, all having access to each other & the net, while keeping the option of using networkmanager or any other tool (I'm open) to plugin any other wireless internet access device. I am not very advanced admin, but can follow instructions. Kindly help. With regards & thanks. Sanjay. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] VMWare Issue
Ok. I run several linux distro's via vmware on top of my windows 7 machine. Currently have an Ubuntu 32-bit 10.4 guest for work. An Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit for misc stuff. Also an OEL 6.2 guest running an oracle database. I just installed CentOS 5.6 32-bit and I can't get the display to work right.

[CentOS] Setting overcommit_memory=2 kills system
Hello, In general I am in the habit of turning off memory overcommit because I believe it's a bad thing in a multi-user environment. This was never a problem on rhel5 systems, but on rhel6, I am having issues.When I try to set overcommit_memory=2, my system locks up. It basically behaves as if the memory is all used up... I see the same behavior on centos6 or rhel6. Following is some output from each platform. # -- RHEL6 # uname -a Linux joker 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Nov 9 08:03:13 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux #lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseWorkstation Description:Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.2 (Santiago) Release:6.2 Codename: Santiago # free total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem: 2052176 2348281817348 0 15352 112852 -/+ buffers/cache: 1066241945552 Swap: 2052088 02052088 # sysctl -a |grep commit vm.overcommit_memory = 0 vm.overcommit_ratio = 50 vm.nr_overcommit_hugepages = 0 # sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=2 vm.overcommit_memory = 2 # ls -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory # #--- CENTOS6 -- # uname -a Linux joker 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 6 19:48:22 GMT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description:CentOS release 6.2 (Final) Release:6.2 Codename: Final # free total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem: 2052176 3786681673508 0 19472 252576 -/+ buffers/cache: 1066201945556 Swap: 2052088 02052088 # sysctl -a |grep commit vm.overcommit_memory = 0 vm.overcommit_ratio = 50 vm.nr_overcommit_hugepages = 0 # sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=2 vm.overcommit_memory = 2 [root@joker ~]# ls -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory One last point. If I set the overcommit values in /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot, the values get set correctly on boot and everything seems fine. In addition I can then change the value of overcommit_memory to 0 and back to 2 with out any ill affects. Searches for issues with setting overcommit_memory=2 haven't turned up anything useful..
