How to connect disks from iSCSI array and from SAN network. I found that it is possible to establish iSCSI on solaris by using COMSTAR [url]
Questions: Could you give me some tutorial how to do this ? I don't have of course SAN network in my home lab and iSCSI array too, is there some way I can simulate this on VBOX or VMWARE ?
I am running RHEL5.5 its a fresh install and we are testing Xen Virtualization. We are wanting to use our iSCSI SAN for the VMs. I have created the initiator iqn, and discovered the target address. We are connected to the target, but there is no new block device in /dev.
I have a server wich is connected to an iSCSI storage and gets harddisks from this storage. Sometimes I have to add new disks to this server. Everytime I add a disk and make an /etc/init.d/iscsi restart on the server the disks don't have the same device name as before the iscsi restart.
It should be possible to gave the disks persistent names using udev rules. Now I tried to create different rules in "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-static-iscsi-names.rules" e.g.
# /dev/sdc KERNEL=="sd*", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -s %p",RESULT=="360a98000503355344c4a576864467877" NAME=="sdc%n" In "/etc/rc.local" I added "/sbin/start_udev" and in "/etc/scsi_id.config" I added the line "vendor="NETAPP",model="LUN",options=-g"
I have never done this before but stood up a new Debian (testing) x64 system. It only has 146GB available for RAID1 so I created a 500GB iSCSI LUN on my NAS device on the network and am really confused how I can attach my Debian to the iSCSI LUN I created. Right now the OS is installed all locally on the machine but I would like the iSCSI LUN to be the /home directory for mail storage. Is this possible or do I need to mount the LUN to a newly created folder / mount point that is locally attached?
I have a problem here for which I am unable to find any relevant info on google. I have an openfiler server and another server which is running OEL(redhat5). When i give the following command iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.2.13it only gives me one line output which is:192.168.2.13:3260,1 iqn.2006-01.com.openfiler:tsn.03821172572cNone of the mapped LUNS gets identified neither it shows me any message that it is connecting. I have setup CHAP in openfiler to accept an incoming user plus gave access to my OEL server.Any feedback is helpful. If you need the contents of /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file let me know
Our org uses Foundstone. I gave them a wheel user and verified connectivity with putty from their server to my RH box. Foundstone never makes it in and I don't see anything from faillog, sshd logs, etc.
I have servers which contain SATA disks and SAS disks. I was testing the speed of writing on these servers and I recognized that SAS 10.000 disks much more slowly than the SATA 7200. What do you think about this slowness? What are the reasons of this slowness?
I am giving the below rates (values) which I took from my test (from my comparisons between SAS 10.000 and SATA 7200);
dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.txt bs=1024 count=1000000 when this comment was run in SAS disk server, I took this output(10.000 rpm)
(a new server,2 CPU 8 core and 8 gb ram)
1000000+0 records in 1000000+0 records out 1024000000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 12.9662 s, 79.0 MB/s (I have not used this server yet) (hw raid1)
I have/had a PC with several hard drives, and a mix of ubuntu and windows on multi boot.The old boot drive died screaming, and I need to start again. (But my data is safe! yay!)
Is there anything special about which drive can be the main drive to start booting from? Or to put it another way, can I install to any of the other 3 and expect it to work, or do I need to switch them around so a different drive is on the connections for the recently dead one?
I have two internal harddisk. Harddisk 1 has ubuntu, fedora installed and harddisk 2 has ubuntu installed. I normally connect either one, and use it. How can i always keep connect both harddisks, and at the start, select from which harddisk to boot? Or it's not possible?
When trying to mkfs -t ext3 /media/HD-CEIU2 mounted drive, I receive "is not a block special device". Then after answering yes to proceed anyway, get messages indicating the device couldn't be read. I did fdisk the drive and rebooted.
I am newbie in Linux, using RHEL5. I created an account for user. User cannot log on from GUI but able to log on from command line by (ctrl-alt-f1). As a root I can log on from GUI mode.
I have installed Dlink-DWL-G520 in RHEL5 - kernel 2.6.18-8.el5. Now I want to give WEP key to get IP from my wireless accesspoint. How I can give that key?
I have installed a second NIC to my Desktop on LINUX (Oracle Enterprise Linux 5). However, it does not get recognized while I'm performing the install and only eth0 card shows up.

I have rhel5 running ok and windows7 running ok, and currently access both via grub (both os are on separate disks) I want to be able to switch between both without rebooting. xen is installed and working but I cannot configure windows to run as a guest as xen wants an iso or img file.
I installed redhat enterprise Linux 5 on an acer laptop to dual boot with windows vista the nic works perfectly with windows but does not work with the RHEL5.
I have a Multitech MT9234ZBA-USB modem. The CD included RHEL drivers which I have installed with RPM. The lsusb command output shows the modem: Bus 004 Device 005: ID 06e0:0319 Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.Which communications software should I use to connect to the modem and issue AT commands?
i am using RHEL5,so i like to use console/terminal that's why i want to browse internet on terminal window of RHEL5 pls suggest me the right answe.....
I'm trying to mount a USB key in a RHEL5 box to upload some file. I found doc online and followed it and mounted it fine the first time. Then I unplugged it and found that I have another file to upload so I plugged it back in. However this time it's not assigned a partition (last time was sdb1) and I can't mount it anymore. I think the USB key is recognized and the driver is installed properly:
I did a yum install libxml2 then later had to do a yum remove libxml2
on my rhel5.5 machine. During the course I answered 'y' to one of the questions asked, which may have lead to the problem I'm about to describe - I don't know because I can't reproduce the problem at the moment.
After doing the 'yum remove libxml2', which seemed to complete successfully, I tried to do a 'yum search <some other package>' and a 'yum install <some other package>' - both commands failed. The error message I get is
[root@server etc]# yum search libxml2 bash: yum: command not found [root@server etc]# which yum /usr/bin/which: no yum in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/bin:/bin)
I'm afraid during the 'yum remove libxml2' I must have removed some essential system libraries and applications, including yum.
