Re: [CentOS] Kickstart with multiple eth devices
I have a Dell server that has two built-in ethernet devices. When I kickstart the machine, they are correctly identified as eth0 and eth1 (correctly meaning they correspond to the physical device ports 1 and 2). I need a third one and want that to come up as eth2. After adding the hardware, kickstart now fails because for some reason it goes through a rename process where it makes the newly added card eth1 (or eth0, I forgot). Is there a way to stop this rename process so kickstart correctly uses the physical hardware the way they are, meaning physical port 1 = eth0, port 2 = eth1, and the additional ethernet card then becomes eth2? Should I be using the device's MAC address when I set the 'network' option in the kickstart file? So instead of 'network --device=eth0' I make it 'network -device=aa;bb:cc:dd:eee:ff' ? ksdevice=aa;bb:cc:dd:ee:ff in your above example will ensure the device with that mac is the kickstart device. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi After returning from a trip to discover the delights on being burgled i wonder if anyone has any experience of IP security camera(s) and software that can constantly record the stream?

Re: [CentOS] DNS search in anaconda
I could be the issue is thus (i have worked around it but its not clean enough
for my liking)
i have a service that runs under SSL that is a global service that resolves
locally - That is in dc A the IP is different to dc B however the service sits
behind the same SSL certs that are non domain specific meaning that if i append
a domain then you'll get a certificate mismatch. In all situations apart from
kickstart this is fine as a local resolver can sort out the destination of the
service based on the search domain, anaconda cant.
It seems a bit annoying i can manually specify a resolver to anaconda but not a
search domain - its a non issue now, but an annoyance.
cheers

[CentOS] DNS search in anaconda
Hi Does anyone know if its possible to set a search domain within anaconda to use during kickstart?

Does dig use libresolv or read directly from resolv.conf? Also do you have a timeout configured in resolv.conf or are you relying on the os default?

[CentOS] 10gig NIC - Link Delay
Hi I am having real trouble with a new batch of Intel NIC's - We were using another type of 10gig card and they were fine but got EOL'd from Intel and are now using something subtly different. I dont have all the details yet on the issue but basically there is a major delay in when the link comes up and this is causing major issues with PXE amongst other things. The log states this Nov 23 23:18:53 xxx kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready Nov 23 23:19:09 xxx kernel: ixgbe: eth0 NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX Nov 23 23:19:09 xxx kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready So 16 seconds for the link to come up - The only real difference between the old card and the new is that the new seems to support FCOE whereas the older one didnt Has anyone got any clues as to what causes link delays? thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] tar - ssh - standard out
Hi I have a process that creates 'some data' and outputs this to standard out and i want to shift this data over ssh to a remote box without ever writing anything locally. I have been experimenting with tar to create the archive as the i dont know what the contents of 'some data' might be so i just need to capture it and output it on the other side. I have been trying with $ tar czf - . | ssh -q 192.168.122.2 "tar xzf -" and this works fine to create an archive of this '.' directory and pipe that over to the other side but i want to take standard out so $ tar czf - `the thing that generates standard out here` | ssh -q 192.168.122.2 "tar xzf -" Would that work or is there a better way to get this over to the other side? It needs to be a data stream though so things like scp and rsync are no good and i need to know what the command is on the remote side being run so that i can restrict this in the ssh public key on the remote side. thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi
I have to use find to change the perms of a directory and files within

top level directory, as its a netapp and so contains a read only
.snapshot dir.
I have tried...
# find /var/data/foo -path '\.\/\.snapshot' -prune -o -exec chown
usera:groupb {} \;
but
chown: changing ownership of `/var/data/foo/.snapshot': Read-only file

chown: changing ownership of `/var/data/foo/.snapshot/hourly.0':
Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of
`/var/data/foo/.snapshot/hourly.0/filename': Read-only file system

[CentOS] intel nic vanished with 5.3
Hi I have boxes with a quad card that shows up with e1000 e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection However since rebuilding a box from 4.7 to 5.3 this card has vanished - I would have thought this card is pretty generic so i dont believe there are not drivers for it - Any other thoughts? It does not show up at all in messages etc, and ethtool knows nothing of it either. thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] OT - Tomcat CLASSPATH issue
if this is ignored then fair enough as its not really the place for it but if anyone has seen this it would be good to know tomcat is 6.0.18 CLASSPATH is set in /etc/sysconfig/ and this IS getting used as _some_ configuration items are being picked up from /etc/ but the issue is when default setting from within the webapp are not being overwritten by settings in /etc/ ie if they are in /etc/ and /var/lib//webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/foo then the webapps location wins. If i echo the CLASSPATH during app start then /etc/ comes first so i dont see why the values in here are not taking precedence any thoughts? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

i can do it in cheetah templating with
set myloc = $getVar("hostname","")split('.')[-3]
the -3 says the last 3rd field in the string - i need the same so maybe
awk can do this

Hi I have inherited some kickstarts that attempt to remove some packages that at some point its been deemed they are not required. I am migrating all this over to cobbler but trying to get to the bottom of this error that although the kickstart completes sshd cant start as the package nss is not installed.
