Choosing the NIC(s) for IPMI is not a general configuration of IPMI; that's going to be a vendor/hardware specific setting (if it can be done at all). Different vendors have different methods of configuring which NIC(s) have IPMI access. You won't be able to configure that with ipmitool; it'll typically have to be set in the BIOS and/or BMC boot configuration menus. -- Chris Adams ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Are you planning to run a bare metal hypervisor, or vmware under Linux or windows? What are you performance requirements? IO? CPU? What will the VM's be used for? Do guests requre a graphics console? Various vmware products ranging from ESXI to vmware workstation are very popular. I've run several of them. They work. I now use the Linux included, kvm/qemu based Red Hat/CentOS virtualization and it meets my needs very well for general testing/development, email server, web server kind of stuff. I also use this setup along with spice to run test systems with various graphic GUI's. I would not say that my virt servers are very heavily loaded. I have a Dell R210 running CentOS6 KVM/Qemu and a Dell XPS 9360 running Ubuntu 18.04 with kvm/qemu. If you prefer fancy mangement GUI's over writing scripts and editing config files, vmware might be better for you. kvm/qemu does include virt-manager which is a fairly simply GUI to create and manage VM's, but the user interface is not as comprehensive as the interface for managing ESXi. Red Hat does have their high end virtualization products, of which I believe at least 1 is a bare metal hypervisor. I have no personal experience with those products, though if client came to me with need, I would examine and seriously consider the Redhat products. One advantage to the kvm/qemu solution or possibly the redhat virtualization product is more integrated support. When I ran vmware, I used to run into situations where I wanted to beta test the newest release of some random linux distribution only to find out that vmware had not yet implemented support for the graphics driver or some other new hardware feature being used in the OS that I was trying to test. In this way, kvm/qemu feels more integrated. Like other software, kvm/qemu has bugs here and there, but overall, I'm very happy with it and I like the price of using it under CentOS and Ubuntu. I see clients all the time, go out and spend a fortune on huge vmware clusters, that end up very lightly loaded and could easily be run on a simple kvm/qemu server running under CentOS (or even one of the desktop virtualization solutions) with a backup server for redundancy, so I suggest to consider what your requirements really are. You could always go with Redhat if you require support. Nataraj ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Problem was selinux, which I proved by temporarily disabling it (setenforce 0). Doing "setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs 1" then reenabling selinux (setenforce 1) seems to have fixed it. at least for now. BTW, I also have max and min smb versions set to 3_11 in my smb.conf and it all still seems to work. With 6.9 some of the values/settings may need to be different, but one thing to check when remote stuff doesn't work, and you've checked everything else, is to try with setenforce 0. If it suddenly miraculously works, then its a selinux issue. -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - "And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Do I give it eth1's MAC address as > a gateway? No, use the IP and MAC of the gateway you wish it to use, as if you were configuring another network device that's on the same network as eth1 (assuming it's sharing the eth1 physical network port). THe important thing to remember is: The BMC is not eth1. It just happens to share the physical port you're plugging an ethernet cable into. It behaves like there's another computer inside your case, with a vampire tap on the ethernet port's cable. For example, if this is your eth1: $ ip -4 a show dev eth1 2: eth1: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 inet 10.0.0.5/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eth1 valid_lft 567262sec preferred_lft 567262sec $ ip -4 route default via 10.0.0.1 dev eth1 proto dhcp metric 100 10.0.0.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.5 metric 100 $ arp -n 10.0.0.1 Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 10.0.0.1 ether 00:00:11:11:22:22 C eth1 Then you would pick an IP on your network (lets call it 10.0.0.6) and set the IPMI interface to use 10.0.0.6/255.255.255.0 and use 10.0.0.1 and 00:00:11:11:22:22 as the defgw MAC. You won't be able to ping the IP from the same system, but it should be reachable from other systems on the 10.0.0.0/24 network above. -- Jonathan Billings ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

No way to boot this hardware with 3.10 kernels, I'm afraid, this was my first struggle with it (Dell XPS-15 9560). At first with this configuration, I was running WS v12, which was showing the issue (periodic network disconnection). Upgraded to WS v14, was not installing at all at the beginning, since few updates it installs but the issue is there again.
