Server :: Limit On The Number Of Virtual Machines Running On RHES / CentOS XEN?

May 2, 2009

We've been experiencing sudden host server crashes minutes after starting a fourth virtual machine. Our setup looks like:

Dell Poweredge T300
1 x Intel Xeon X3323 Quad Core 2.5 ghz
16 GB Ram
CentOS 5.3 (64 bit)

Server is running a stripped down version of CentOS 5.3 (64-bit), running only the built-in Xen Virtualization Environment. There is no other services running on the server (not samba, httpd, sendmail, cups... nothing except Xen) We've created several virtual machines, and as long as we don't start a fourth virtual machine everything runs smoothly (impresive hardware).

Each virtual server is configured as:

PARAVIRTUALIZED
1 Virtual CPU
1 GB RAM

However, 5 minutes or so after starting a fourth virtual machine, the entire host server crashes and restarts itself. Are we limited by the number of cores on the host machine CPU (4 cores)? 1 for the host and 3 for virtual machines? We've read in forums about other Xen setups running up to 11 virtual machines on less powerful hardware? (a dual core server). Should we be using FULLY VIRTUALIZED virtual machines instead? Is the number of XEN virtual machines in fact limited by the number of cores? If so, how can someone run several virtual machines on a single core host?

By the way, we were replacing a previous Dell Server (Poweredge 2600 with 512 MB Ram and a single Xeon single core processor running Open Virtuozzo). We were able to run up to 16 virtual machines at the same time. Of course none of the machines endured hard work (testing environments, etc). But hey, my point is that we expected to get a much higher number of virtual machines on this new hardware.

Ubuntu Servers :: KVM Guests And Host Connection - Run Two Virtual Machines

Jul 23, 2010

We got a new server with 2 network interface cards with 4 MAC addresses in total. We would like to run two virtual machines (vserver1 and vserver2); one should connect via eth1, the other via eth2, and the host (mainserver) via eth0. The content of /etc/network/interfaces is as follows:

[Code]....

A connection from mainserver to vserver1 or vserver2 is not possible; a ssh connection from mainserver to vserverx ends with a login to mainserver.

Security :: Limit The Number Of Ssh Connections?

Dec 13, 2010

Dist: Fedora 14
SSHD: OpenSSH 5.5p1

I need to limit the number of ssh connections a user has. All the users are using tunnel only so their shell is set to /sbin/nologin The logins do not open a shell they just create the tunnel so /etc/security/limits.conf has no effect on them at all.

I tried setting 'MaxSessions 1' in sshd_config but either that doesn't not do what I expect it to or it plain does not work as even with a normal user I was able to open an unlimited number of sessions. I need a good secure way to limit each user to 1 ssh session without them having a shell but Im unable to find a solution.

Fedora :: How To Limit The Number Of Files In A Particular Directory

Aug 31, 2011

I was nosing around in my /home folder and I noticed that the /.thumbnails directory had 38,000+ files in it. That number seem a bit excessive to me. Is there a way to limit the number of files that are allowed to be in that directory, and maybe delete the oldest files automatically when the directory reaches it's limit in order to make room for the new incoming files, so there are no "directory full" type of errors?

Programming :: Limit In Number Of Fields That Awk Can Handle

Mar 2, 2011

I have a file with 200 000 lines and I want to append the fields of each line based on matching first field. The resulting file should have 70 000 columns but has "only" 18 000. The command I'm using is working perfectly with a smaller file, wich lead to 14 000 columns. Could there be a limit in number of fields that awk can handle ? Here's my awk command :

Code:

awk -F, 'END { for (k in _) print _[k] } { _[$1] = $1 in _ ? _[$1] FS $4 : $1","$4 } ' file > out

Also, this command writes ^M (windows line break) after each columns. Removing them is easy but where do they come from ? Working on Ubuntu 10.10

Ubuntu Security :: One Limit The Number Of Open Sockets To Prevent Exploiting?

Dec 6, 2010

I was searching around and I stumbled upon a Linux Kernelix Sockets Local Denial of Service exploit.I downloaded the exploit, compiled it ran it to check if I am vulnerable.As I was expecting, the exploit instantly "killed" my Maverick system and I had to use the power button to reset my computer...Is there any way to limit the numberof allowed open sockets?I don't think that this can be done using /etc/security/limits.conf in a similar way of preventing the fork bombs

General :: Physical And Virtual Memory Upper Limit For 32 Bit?

Jun 26, 2010

I have a 32 bit Ubuntu installed and my Laptop has 4GB RAM, but only 3GB is considered by Linux. My question is: what is the reason for the upper limit on physical memory ?

Code:
dmesg | grep Memory [0.000000] Memory: 3052428k/3112960k available (4673k kernel code, 56364k reserved, 2121k data, 656k init, 2200904k highmem) I am familiar with the virtual memory concept where linux splits upper 1GB for kernel and lower 3GB for user processes. In total, linux 32bit can address 4GB virtual addresses. Does this meant that 1GB of physical memory is already mapped to 1GB of kernel space and Linux only shows the remaining 3GB physical memory left for the user in the above command.

I did some searching on the internet and found some articles related to this, but it only confused me further since some articles suggest 4GB is the upper limit with mentioning whether it's virtual or physical memory, some bring in the concept of PAE, etc. I'm relative new to Linux's memory management, so it'd be really helpful if someone could answer this.

CentOS 5 :: Limit To One Connection Per User For Ssh / Sftp?

Is it possible to limit each user so that only one can connect via each username for ssh/sftp? I work with a small company where there aren't really enough of us to justify using a revision control system, but we don't want to accidentally step on each other's toes, so we'd like to try simply preventing more than one person from accessing a given domain at once.

CentOS 5 :: Control Groups To Limit The Memory Usage?

Aug 13, 2011

I was looking into using control groups to limit the memory usage of each user on my CentOS system. I was told that this required me to recompile the kernel to have cgroup support. Is this true? Or is there a kernel module that will allow cgroups to work for users and groups on the system without kernel re-compile? Or, is there another way to limit the users memory usage? I have tried ulimit and it doesn't seem to work right.

I ask since this setup will be on a VPS system, that means to re-compile the kernel I need to use Xen instead of OpenVZ. Plus I have never in my life re-compiled the kernel, least of all with different modules ha ha ha so I would have to pay my NOC to do it. So if I don't HAVE to recompile the kernel to get cgroup support.

Server :: Limit The Suphp User Memory Limit?

May 12, 2010

I have a VPS server with 512 MB memory. The php.ini is set so script memory limit = 16 MB. However, I have noticed in my top report, instances like the following:

Quote:

5484 coldclim 25 0 46476 32m 5920 R 0.0 6.4 0:00.93 php

The bold number of 6.4 is the % of sever memory this process is using. 6.4 % of 512 MB of memory is about 32 MB of memory, so it appears that this isn't being limited by php.ini. Am I correct? This leads to the next question: Is there some way to limit the amount of memory a single suphp process can use? (Basically, something like the setting in php.ini which limits suphp processes in the same way.)
