[ilugd] RHEL upgrade

2007-03-15 Thread Yashpal Nagar
Hi All
We have few RHEL 3.0 AS, Taroon Update 8 (32 bit arch) servers which we 
now wanted to upgrade to RHEL 4.0 ES (64 bit).
All the servers are 64 bit arch hardware and were installed 32 bit OS 
due to application compatibility matrix. Now application is available 
for 64 bit OS.

Is such cross upgrade Ok? what precautions should i take, can anyone advice.

Cheers!

Probably that is why i did't send it to Redhat List. I don't want to 
understand here what Redhat support and what does't and what is entitlement.

What i want to understand is since we are moving the arch 32 bit OS to 
64 bit and also crossing the RHEL AS to ES, what will happen to glibc 
and other libraries, will redhat installation overwrite them with 64 bit 
or will keep 32bit and also install 64bit libararies.
Will there be any issue such as library conflict ?

I have spoken to redhat help desk which as usual first difficult to 
understand what is the question and recommended me a fresh format.

Cheers!

You do need to know that if you ever want to talk to them later on and 
ask for help / support on issues. So talk to them anyway.

 64 bit and also crossing the RHEL AS to ES, what will happen to glibc 
 and other libraries, will redhat installation overwrite them with 64 bit 
 or will keep 32bit and also install 64bit libararies.

The main diff in ES and AS is in what RH will support you with on the 
machine, and the number of cores you can really use within that 
entitlement. It does not really have any difference in the code and 
binaries themselves.

Secondly, hade you decide how you are going to do the upgrade itself ? I 
would recommend you setup a vmware hosted environ ( not Xen ) and rsync 
the present OS root into there, and play around - work with options, 
there are quite a few ways of making this move - and depending on how 
critical this is, or how much of time you are ready to spend with it - 
doing a trial run inside a virtual machine would we well worth it.

What ever you do, DO make backups and DO create a VM image of the 
present machine!

now, to your question - EL4 has a direct upgrade path from EL3 - and on 
the x86_64 platform. So all your 32bit'ness should work fine under EL4 
since it contains all the major compat-foo stuff needed. Also, the 
x86_64 EL4 is multilib right through, end to end. While there maybe 
things that dont run, the systemspace is well split, so adding fluff to 
achieve the goal is mostly trivial ( with user $clue, you've been active 
on this sort of issues for a while, so my guess is you have that ).

Remember, once you move, and unless you disable selinux from the first 
stage ( pre-install, during install and post install ) your ext3 
filesystem, once migrated, will no longer be usable on EL3 - so its a 
way one street. Some people have documented reverse path as well, I've 
not tried it and this is significant enough an issue to mention here.

 I have spoken to redhat help desk which as usual first difficult to 
 understand what is the question and recommended me a fresh format.

If you can, thats not a unwise suggestion. You really should not be 
thinking of doing a live migration anyway, use the installer to move you 
rather than userland package manager.

HTH, let us know how you get along.

 Hi guys, Does anyone own a Motorola Ming? It's a Linux based Smart

 Since the A1200 has a Linux OS, it doesn't matter what Linux Distro you are 
 using. You can mount it just like any other USB thumb drive when it is USB 
 mode. I have also seen somewhere that the Projects like OpenObex can be used 
 to communicate to it using modemmode.

Hi Raseel, I finally received my Motorola Ming today and it's awesome!
But I haven't been able to mount it on my Debian System so far :(

dmesg shows that the USB device is recognised and a device file
/dev/ttyACM0 is created for it (sorry I cannot paste the output
because I don't have net access at home), but when I try to mount the
device, it asks me to specify the filesystem type (which I presume is
ext2 but I want to be sure).

I have tried using the phone in both USB and modem mode but to no avail.

How did you mount the device memory on your system?

Thanks and Regards,
Anupam Jain

[ilugd] Red Hat Strikes Back With Next Generation Linux

*Red Hat Strikes Back With Next Generation Linux*

Red Hat released the latest version of its Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL)
flagship product today with a flurry of new features, upgrades and
improvements. The RHEL 5 release comes as Red Hat faces a multi-front battle
in the operating systems space against rivals Microsoft, Novell and Oracle.
In this release, Red Hat is touting new virtualization, security, storage
and application options that it hopes will keep it ahead of competitors
making a run for Red Hat's market share.

Looks like you can't mount the system memory and only SD Card, if inserted, 
can be mounted.

What you saw was the phone in Modem mode. Usually, just switching from USB 
modem to USB Mass Storage mode will render the phone mountable.
But sometimes, you need to physically unplug it from the USB wire, switch to 
USB Mass Storage mode and then reattach it.

I am using Ubuntu (Debian clone) and it immediately detects and auto mounts the 
External SD Card as /media/usbdisk

However, one thing I have noticed that the in-built phone memory is NOT 
mounted. ONLY the SD card is mounted for A1200. For the A780, you can mount 
both the memories.
So a possible issue in your case might be that you did not install the SD card. 
Is that the case ?
