2012-02-07 Thread Jonathan Dye
suddenly DDNS updates are not happening. the update key is set to the same thing in both dhcp and named. i've tried cleaning the dhcp and dns state up to the best of my knowledge. manual updates with that key work in the nsupdate utility. i tried watching what happened when i update a lease

so, funny you ask, last week i ran into this problem and i tried using both mod_mem_cache and mod_disk_cache. i set noderes.nfsserver to separate apache servers configured to reverse proxy and cache (alternately i could have changed the kickstart templates to use a different table entry and cha

is nodeset xxx install for esxi4.1 expected to work? i had to patch it to get it to make an honest try (i think the esxi5 patches broke it), but the hypervisors i try installing hang after all the files are transferred, possibly during some sort of post install script but i haven't looked into

are there places where we really want xcat to fulfill a single request with two different plugins? the plugin_command code in xcatd and the copy of it in Client.pm will both route requests to every plugin that makes it into the handler_hash for that request's command. this is independent of th

you don't specify a full path for a clone, and you have the arguments backward. you'll have to make a new VM since it rebased vm5 to the vm master called 'nfs_+JQ-2f+JQ-2f10.0.2.31+JQ-2fvms+JQ-2fshar'. then, you'll make a new master like this: clonevm -t [new_stateful_vm] vmmaster3 and you u

so, that's yet another problem. resolv.conf doesn't get written correctly. i see where the initrd is supposed to be copying both the resolv.conf and the lease file from the stateless environment, but it only copies the lease file. when i manually fixed resolv.conf in the guest, the retries fr

the real question in that environment is actually why updateflag.awk is failing. once you remove/background those 'tee's it just hangs on updateflag, which seems to retry infinitely. it seems to be connecting to the right port from the booting guest. i wasn't very successful in trying to att

jarrod will have to correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the old makedns took a network address and subnet mask as a sub-argument to -n. it was not like the -n flag for makedhcp which writes out a fresh dhcpd.conf. the new makedns -n does things along similar lines to makedhcp -n-- it writes f

there was a version of ddns.pm that couldn't handle fake TLDs like that where there was a TLD and no domain name (because of a bug in Net::DNS when the domain didn't contain a dot, i think). the fix was a new ddns.pm, making sure that resolv.conf pointed to the local machine, and restarting the
