Fwd: Unknown IP address shows FreeBSD server MAC in arp cache
Well I managed to find the answer!! Scanning through /etc/defaults/rc.conf I noticed this: dhclient_program="/sbin/dhclient" # Path to dhcp client program. dhclient_flags="" # Extra flags to pass to dhcp client. Then I went back to check my DHCP server's log files and indeed a DHCP request came through from the server even though the IP's are all statically configured on it. Now all I have to do is tell the system not to use the "dhclient" program and then all will be sorted :-) Few. Regards, Kaya Original Message Subject: Unknown IP address shows FreeBSD server MAC in arp cache Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 02:52:21 +0100 From: Kaya Saman To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Hi, I'm experiencing a weird problem and I have no idea where to begin with this one! Basically what's happening is that I did a host scan from my NetBSD box running Cacti in order to 'Auto Discover' machines on my network; a php script on the Cacti server added an IP address xxx.xxx.1.52. Seeing this as odd since I haven't configured any machine with this IP as it's in the DHCP range on my network and there aren't any machines running on DHCP on the particular VLAN either as everything is statically configured; I proceeded to check the arp cache of my NetBSD box which pointed to the MAC address of my FreeBSD server? Having a look round my network and servers each ping attempt to xxx.xxx.1.52 gives me a response and in the arp cache of each machine/device shows the FreeBSD server. Long ago I may have had this machine on xxx.xxx.1.52 but I can't recall and all settings in /etc/rc.conf for interfaces and Jails are fine and consistent with my Network Spec. My network has also had a massive overhaul since then as I've changed switches and router in the meantime too I have thought about arp poisoning but then again no other machine is connected to my network that I don't know about and since it's a home network there's really only me connected to it. Also I'm running OpenBSD as a firewall/router gateway which I've also checked thoroughly including Packet Filter and haven't found any issues. I also thought about RARP and bootparamd since I'm running a bunch of Sun SPARC systems in which I NetBooted but nothing on that front either showed any result. I additionally have checked the /etc/hosts files of all my systems and even my local DNS db files but nothing shows xxx.xxx.1.52 at all. The BSD version that I'm running on my FreeBSD server is 8.2 x64. Would anyone be able to help me out with this one? Basically why is a rogue or unknown IP address pointing to my FreeBSD box's NIC?

Re: Virtual Box on FreeBSD Server
I use Virtualbox and FreeBSD 9, or 10 as the base OS and the windows 2003server, 2008 server, running in the virtualbox, My cpu is an AMD8120 8cores with 16GB of memory, the filesystem is in ZFS, I put 2Gb for each windows, and the system runs confortable with 20 users in each windows machine.. (total of 40 users) The boot (cold boot) for the 2003 server (32 bits) is about 10 seconds with an drive of 20GB and another of 400GB (in the virtualbox...) the NIC is configure with bridge, the FreeBSD gives address via dhcp server... both windows run with VboxHeadless and are both enable terminal servers Runs like a charm... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: Virtual Box on FreeBSD Server
As others have said, you can run VirtualBox without X. The command line tools provided by VirtualBox are pretty comprehensive and straight-forward. To add to that, there's also phpVirtualBox: https://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/ that provides a nice web interface to managing your VMs, though it appears the project is on pause right now. I actually have a few semi-production servers running under VirtualBox on a Linux host, as I found far better disk performance there for FreeBSD guests than under KVM. Hopefully that changes soon, if it hasn't already.

(using VNC to connect to the consoles of them) Creating and configuring them takes a bit more, and as I am only on the second day of getting this figured out, I am not the best person to go more into detail. I actually created my vms on windows moved them over to FreeBSD the server to run them. It can all be done command line, just takes a while to learn. I am running mine on a AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1075T Processor, with 16G ram, so far I have had three VMs running at once, two FreeBSD 9.1p2 and one windows 2008r2, 3G ram assigned to each. Performance so far has been great, I will have it down to one VM in a few days, as I will convert the two FreeBSD VMs into jails, and just be left with the windows 2008r2 vm. the disks in my system are 2 Sata3 1TB volumes, with FreeBSD host installed on ZFS in mirrored zpool. Also running the 2 FreeBSD VMs from this mirror as well, and the sytem drive of the Windows server. The Windows server has a second data drive, that is mounted off 4 500MB SATA2 drives in a zfs raidz. Disk performance is better than what I had testing this setup on Windows 7 with Virtual box, using a hardware raid 10 on the 500MB drives and hardware mirror on the 1TB drives. I intend to migrate the windows data drive from a virtual disk to an iSCSI disk pointed to the same 500MB raidz once I get the FreeBSD iSCSI target setup figured out. This should hopefully get a little more speed out of the setup. Unfortunately as this setup is still in its early stages, I can't attest to how stable it will be. -- Thanks, Dean E.

Re: Virtual Box on FreeBSD Server
Bill: >> 1. As I understand it you can install Virtual Box from the ports >> collection. That port or a good numbr of other VMWare apps exist in the ports tree - you are not restricted to V-Box. Starting the virtual machines is not xorg/login dependent. You can do this for any service through rc.conf So edit your /etc/rc.conf and insert whatevername_enable="YES" to auto-start the service. The whatevername can be found by looking in /etc/rc.d for base-system included services or /usr/local/etc/rc.d for services installed through ports. >> 2.

FreeBSD Server
FreeBSD Dear Sirs; I have a 8core, 32 GB ram server I built myself. AMD cpu, with Supermicro motherboard. I want to use FreeNAS as a database system, and I'm wondering what it will cost to use FreeBSD with FreeNAS. I see the Version I would like is $40 for a four CD set, but that does not mean I get to use the server version of it. What is the server version going to cost? Sincerely, Mark T.

Re: freebsd server limits question
Hi there Huhammet What are the contents of the following files on you're CentOS 6.x shards ? /etc/security/limits.confand /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf What version of MongoDB are you running, is it from packages (if so who's) or is it self compiled? Have you tried running the MongoDB shards on the most recent CentOS 5.x release? If so what differences do you note, if any? This could help diagnose the source of you're problems. Also what is the current stack size of you're MongoDB shards (set via the -s parameter) ? And lastly what is the system load like at the heaviest transaction points (vmstat and iostat can help you out there) ? If this is a branded name server set what is the exact model and hardware configuration? Are you running 32bit or 64bit instances of MongoDB on 32bit or 64bit CentOS 6.x ? Regards,...

Just realized that the MongoDB site now has some recipes up for what you really need to do to make sure you can handle a lot of incoming new documents concurrently….

Re: freebsd server limits question
Sorry one more thought and a clarification…. I have found that it is best to run mongos with each app server instance most of the mongo interface libraries aren't intelligent about the way that they distribute requests to available mongos processes. mongos processes are also relatively lightweight and need no coordination or synchronization with each other - simplifies things a lot and makes any potential bugs/complexity with app server/mongo db connection logic just go away. It's pretty important when configuring shards to take on the write volume that you do your best to pre-allocate chunks and avoid chunk migrations during your traffic floods - not hard to do at all. There are also about a million different ways to deal with atomicity (if that is a word) and a very mongo specific way of ensuring writes actually "made it to disk" somewhere = from your brief description of the app in question it does not sound that it is too critical to ensure "every single solitary piece of data persists no matter what" as I am assuming most of it is irrelevant and becomes completely irrelevant after the show- or some time there after. Most of the programing and config examples make an opposite assumption in that they assume that each transaction MUST be completely durable - if you forgo that you can get screaming TPS out of a mongo shard. Also if you do not find what you are looking for via a ruby support group - the JS and node JS community also may be of assistance but they tend to have a very narrow view of the world…. ;-) RB On Jan 2, 2012, at 4:21 PM, Robert Boyer wrote: > To deal with this kind of traffic you will most likely need to set up a mongo > db cluster of more than a few instances… much better.

Re: freebsd server limits question
To deal with this kind of traffic you will most likely need to set up a mongo db cluster of more than a few instances… much better. There should be A LOT of info on how to scale mongo to the level you are looking for but most likely you will find that on ruby forums NOT on *NIX boards…. The OS boards/focus will help you with fine tuning but all the fine tuning in the world will not solve an app architecture issue… I have setup MASSIVE mongo/ruby installs for testing that can do this sort of volume with ease… the stack looks something like this…. Nginix Unicorn Sinatra MongoMapper MongoDB with only one Nginix instance can feed an almost arbitrary number of Unicorn/Sinatra/MongoMapper instances that can in turn feed a properly configured MongoDB cluster with pre-allocated key distribution so that the incoming inserts are spread evenly against the cluster instances… Even if you do not use ruby that community will have scads of info on scaling MongoDB. One more comment related to L's advice - true you DO NOT want more transactions queued up if your back-end resources cannot handle the TPS - this will just make the issue harder to isolate and potentially make the recovery more difficult. Better to reject the connection at the front-end than take it and blow up the app/system. The beauty of the Nginix/Unicorn solution (Unicorn is ruby specific) is that there is no queue that is feed to the workers when there are no workers - the request is rejected. The unicorn worker model can be reproduced for any other implementation environment (PHP/Perl/C/etc) outside of ruby in about 30 minutes. It's simple and Nginix is very well suited to low overhead reverse proxy to this kind of setup.

NOTE: The machine has 2x igb(4) interfaces and we're negotiating at 1000baseTX "Gigabit" full-duplex link-speed. We had similar problems, but have had zero problems in the past 2 months with high-load (read below).

We have an online messaging application that is using mongodb. Our members send messages to "the voice" show's (turkish version) contestants.

I use VirtualBox these days, but if memory serves it is very much like Vmware in this regard. The OP needs to understand that the default install provides a NAT and a DHCP for the guest VM so it can be brought up automagically. I know in the VirtualBox documentation it is clearly explained about how incoming connections are not passed through this NAT. There are typically 3 networking configurations available: the default as described above, bridged, and host-only. Host-only does exactly what it sounds like - only the host machine and guest may communicate with each other. Bridged networking is what you want to set up if you want your VM to be totally available to your outside network. Hint: the "bridge" is not on the VM guest OS side, but rather the bridge would connect your Windows 7 host's NIC to the VM. A bridged config replaces the default install NAT. I haven't used Vmware for a while now, but in VirtualBox you can use the VBoxManage command line to enable port forwards in the default install's NAT. This is OK if you only want to make a small number of services available, like let's say only a web server on port 80. But you'll want a bridged config if you want the entire VM visible. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

He's very likely using NAT on his virtual machine. So outgoing connections work just fine: NAT from the guest through the host.

In particular, *do not* miss either of the quote marks, or your machine will hang at next boot, and force you to boot into single user mode to recover from it by adding the missing quote mark and booting again. This is not the end of the world, but until you figure it out, it can induce feelings of fear, nausea, helplessness and acute embarrassment. However, about the third time you've done it, and recovered from it by your own efforts, it's no longer a big thing.

Sap. Don't confuse FreeBSD with Linux. Especially on FreeBSD mailing lists. It's like mistaking a Scotsman for an Englishman. Tends to cause a lot of red faces and shouting, if not actual fisticuffs... Hmmm... with the firewall config set to 'open', ping should work. Are you behind a NAT gateway? Anyhow, your problem is this: you need to turn /on/ a daemon process to enable remote access. Unlike many widely used OSes, FreeBSD ships with just about everything available in the OS turned off. Which might seem perverse to the uninitiated, but trust me; it's a real blessing over all. Edit the file /etc/rc.conf and add the line: sshd_enable="YES" Then run this command as root: # /etc/rc.d/sshd start (you only need to do that as a one-off -- adding the line to rc.conf means the daemon will be started automatically on reboot from now on) Then you can use a SSH client from windows to remote login to your FreeBSD box. If you need a client, try putty from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Nb. by default, you won't be able to SSH in as root -- so set yourself up a normal user account, add it to the wheel group and then use su(1) once you've logged in.

Re: adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server
Using the standard version query syntax below.. dig +short @ns1.partnershiphp.org version.bind txt chaos "DNS Server v2090" She seems to have a DNS server that I'm both unfamiliar with and unable to find with a search engine. So, as you say, this is a DNS server question not an OS question. Ola, you must find out which software is being used to provide DNS name service from this machine before proceeding. If 'lsof' is not already installed, as root, install it with pkg_add -rv http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-4.11-release/All/lsof-4.73.1.tgz then as root use lsof -i :53 to identify the name service binary and current PID on your machine. With that data, you should be able to ask more specific questions about managing the name service being used. - Mark On 17 Mar 2011, at 21:54, Ilya Kazakevich wrote: > Hello, > > What name server do you use?

Re: adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server
Hello, What name server do you use? I am almost sure you have BIND. You must open your zonefile, add SRV record and reload zone. I think your zonefile is somewhere in /etc/namedb/ read bind manual, man named and man ndc (or rndc) to solve your problem.

Re: adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server
Ola, You have BIND 8.3 as you wrote to me. Check manual if it supports SRV records. If so -- you do not have to upgrade your OS now. FreeBSD 4 is REALLY OLD but I do not think upgrading freebsd is what you want to do now: your issue is to update SRV record, right?

Re: Very simple file sharing between FreeBSD server and
I've watched this thread for several days now and to put in my 2 cents: 1. Samba is not that complicated. I've been using it for years and can have it up and configured in a matter of minutes. 2. Samba quickly allows you to see your FreeBSD servers from your windows clients just like it was a Windows Server. A simple smb.conf file is all you need. 3. You can get a lot more complex setup with Samba with security, R/W options etc... but for what you're descibing I'd recommend Samba or use a graphical FTP client on your Windows clients to access your FreeBSD server. Command line FTP is an option but it's a lot more complicated than just setting up Samba. Good luck. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Many retail stores now carry these. 3. Webdav (included with Apache 2.2). This setup is as complex as Samba; but you can access it securely across the internet via SSL.

Stress testing a new FreeBSD server?
I would be grateful if anyone could recommend any tests, scripts, ports or packages which would stress test a new FreeBSD box? - both CPU and disk I/O. I would particularly like to get the processors nice and warm! :-) We already use bonnie++, unixbench, etc. but I was wondering if there is a proper suite of tools for doing just this and google hasn't brought up anything particularly appealing.

Unfortunately, this doesn't include the hostname and the IP address that mx1.freebsd.org failed to resolve. If you are worried about privacy issues and you don't want the IP address to appear in the mailing list archives, can you post it personally to me? Then I can check from *.freebsd.org machines to see if it resolves correctly both ways: from a hostname -> address and backwards. pgp4ij8dbOmMW.pgp Description: PGP signature

Are you sure that: - your mail server gateway name resolves into your mail server gateway IP and - your mail server gateway IP reverse resolves to your mail server gateway name Both should be resolve properly. The check should be done outside of your own subnet, from an Internet Cafe (use Windows nslookup command, same syntax as nslookup on Unix) from home if you use a different ISP than for the machine that makes problem...

When using on 4.11, "-L" seems not working with dump. Also I have one question, I clone file system from one machine to another different type of machine. The source machine's file system is on /dev/da0s1, but destination's is on /dev/ad0s1. Then I run following to update boot loader: fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad0 bsdlabel -B /dev/ad0s1 However, the cloned system can't find kernel on reboot. What am I missing?

Duplicate existing FreeBSD Server in VM
Hi, I have just installed a machine and have it setup running a web based CRM solution. I want to have an exact duplicate of this machine running as a VM for redundancy reasons. What is the best way to go about getting this exact machine transferred to the VM? Both machines exist on the same network and will be able to talk to each other, I have been thinking of a couple of different ways to get all my data across which is the easy part, but I want to match everything that is installed, base system, ports etc. Anyone have any ideas or point me into the right direction? I know I have already asked this question but there is a slight difference, the real server is running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p8 AMD64 version. The duplicated version which will be running in a VM is only going to be the i386 version. What would be the best way to attack this problem? The stuff that needs to be synced would be a MySQL database along with a website. Everything else probably doesn't matter...

I often used it to move BSD or Linux systems to new hardware or transfer them into a VM. I usually make sure that the kernel supports all important hardware on the target machine and that /etc/fstab is correct. After that I start to transfer filesystem after filesystem with e.g.: # rsync -avxH --delete --exclude /etc/fstab / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ You might want to exclude other files (e.g. /etc/rc.conf) from being overwritten, I guess. The nice thing with rsync is that only diffs are transferred, so it would be easy and fast to keep your VM in sync with the source machine. Uwe P.S.: Yesterday I moved a FreeBSD 4.5 system from a Proliant 3000 (~7 years old) to a VMware Server VM using rsync. All I had to take care of was the use of a GENERIC kernel, a new /etc/fstab and a changed ifconfig line in /etc/rc.conf. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There are better ways I am sure, but this is quick and easy if you are familiar with FreeBSD installs. Note #1 In the first comment line I say to boot the live file system CD, that is what you would do in the VM, just as you would normally boot an installer CD, but use a Live filesystem CD instead. Note #2 I used several slices with sizes some may not agree with. It was a choice we made for various reasons, the servers have been running for three years. You may have more or less slices of varying sizes, adjust the steps below to your preferences. Note #3 You will need to check and WRITE DOWN which slice is which mount point, /, /var, /usr and so on. Your disks may be different if you choose not to create a seperate /tmp, or /var. I'll be out of the office for a week, but you can try and adjust as needed, it won't hurt anything and you can always overwrite and try again. WRITE IT DOWN. Works for us, I've used it several times, adjusting as needed for the system I am cloning.

Duplicate existing FreeBSD Server in VM
Hi, I have just installed a machine and have it setup running a web based CRM solution. I want to have an exact duplicate of this machine running as a VM for redundancy reasons. What is the best way to go about getting this exact machine transferred to the VM? Both machines exist on the same network and will be able to talk to each other, I have been thinking of a couple of different ways to get all my data across which is the easy part, but I want to match everything that is installed, base system, ports etc. Anyone have any ideas or point me into the right direction?

I used to use DLT tapes, and I looked at AIT before I decided on disks. The disks have a couple of advantages that would be hard to match with tape. One is that the backups are completely unattended; I have two USB drives plugged in at a time, and some little scripts wake up each night, figure out which disk has the least recent backups, delete enough old stuff to make room for a new backup, and then use pax -r -w to make the backup from each of the computers on my LAN. The only manual work I need to do is to swap a drive with the one in my safe deposit box once a week. Also, since they're disks, getting files back from a backup is a snap, just cp them from the most recent backup copy. The three disks together cost under $500, and if I need more backup space, I can just buy some more larger ones. To get approximately the same unattended backups I have with my USB disks I would need an AIT jukebox for about $4000. Getting files back would be much more painful, since I would have to spin through an entire dump or cpio image to find a file. Tapes make sense if you have a vast amount of data, multiple terabytes. You need a lot of terabytes before the cheaper media makes up for the much more expensive drives, and it's still nowhere near as convenient as disks.

LTO is pretty fast, though it doesn't seem to have the fast search that was about the only thing I liked about DAT/DDS tape. But the cost of LTO for a home system is hard to swallow. You could get about a dozen USB drives to rotate for a similar cost. Tapes are nice for archiving or long term storage though. Their data format seems less likely to change over time than disk. jerry > > Robert Huff > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Tapes are a bit more expensive, but overall a more static backup / archiving solution than disks. Besides, they're cheaper in the long run from what remember.
