Red Hat :: Unable To Get Multipath Configuration LVM / RHEL 5.3
Mar 24, 2011
I have and RHEL5.4 conecceted to an SAN HSV200. When I present a LUN to it, In system-confg-lvm gui appears a device like /dev/mapth/mapth0 (that�s the correct device to multipath) and other like /dev/sda or /dev/dm-N, as uninitialized entities. How could I configure to not display this device (/dev/sda) and prevent human errors?
This is the things I need:
1- I want (if it is posible...) to disappear the part where it says "uninitialized entities"
2- Is It necesary mantain the partitioning done to default (like /dev/mapper/mpath0p1) with device-mapper-multipath (kpartx command)? or Can I delete it without future problems?
There is a server with two HBA QLA2460, connected via SAN to the SE9980 disk array. RHEL 5.4 (x86_64) is running on the server. In the SAN two zones are set up: HBA1-port1 9980; HBA2 - port2 SE9980. As a result, the server can see:
i have a HP MSA 2312fc SAN with 2 LUNs configured. The first LUN (LUN ID 1) is correctly connected to the system, but when i connect the second LUN (LUN ID 30), i find in the syslog this message: multipathd: 8:64: size 6835937472, expected 5267578112. Discard
Here is the multipath.conf
[Code]....
So I correctly see the two luns, but multipath doesn't create the relative devices. Under /dev/mapper I see: control mpath0 mpath0-part1 mpath0-part1 is the first lun, the one I mounted in a directory under filesystem. I can't find the device for the second lun
After mapping iscsi storage from my netapp and scanning for new devices I run multipath -v2 to create the multipath device handle under /dev/mapping/. This normally takes about 2 seconds or less on every other linux distribution I use. On Stretch it takes a little over 3 minutes. I have tried several different versions of multipath.conf but the result is always the same.
My most recent multipath.conf file is available here : [URL] ....
and the output of multipath -v4 is available here : [URL] ....
We are planning to migrate our LINUX server from RHEL 3to RHEL 5. What are the configuration difference between RHEL 3 to RHEL 5 for webserver installations?
I have 4 partitions in my system, out of which two(sda1, sda2) have windows on them. I have installed RHEL 4 32 - bit on sda3 and after that , installed installed RHEL 64-bit on to a partition sda 5. Now i am unable to boot into RHEL 32-bit. The error i am getting is Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format.
Environment: A 32-bit kernel RHEL5.3 system running on a virtual machine. The root(/) filesystem is on an LV.
Issue: Unable to resize the FS after extending the root LV since it is mounted. After extending the LV, online resizing of the FS was not supported and the root filesystem could not be unmounted while it was in use. On rebooting, I got a kernel panic error. In runlevel 1, I couldn't run chroot, couldn't find the /etc/fstab, root FS could not be mounted, fsck did not run (tried block 31 for second copy of superblock using dd count=1 bs=4k skip=31 seek=1 if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sda2), couldn't find any rpm on installation media to install unix-utils rpm. On running commands in runlevel 1,
I have few doubts regarding fonts configuration in RHEL 5.4.
Code:
[vinay@linuxcoe4 fonts]$ cd /usr/share/X11/fonts [vinay@linuxcoe4 fonts]$ ls 100dpi 75dpi encodings misc TTF Type1 util
[code]....
Also there is no fonts.dir file, which describes fonts under a specific fonts directory in /usr/share/fonts tree. But we can find fonts.dir or fonts.scale file under /usr/share/X11/fonts/ tree. Does files under /usr/share/fonts tree are not dependent on fonts.dir ?
Friends i got an opertunity to configure ddns in my office.I already configured staic dns in linux, but this is the first time iam configuring ddns.I just configured ddns in rhel 5.2 in my office.So far every thing working fine,dhcp is giving ip address to the clients and both forward and reverse dns database is updating.
1) In windows we can use flushdns and registerdns commands to update the dns database, like this any command is in linux to update client details in dns database?
2)how to restrict multiple client entries keeping in dhcp database.
3)if i change client hostname it is not updating the dns database,it is keeping the old one.

I believe that SU log messages are supposed to be appended to /var/log/messages but I'm not getting any log entries. I edited the /etc/syslog.conf and added the line below
su.* /var/log/sulog
Then ran /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart (I also ran this prior to editing the syslog.conf file just in case). I'm still not getting any SU log messages.
I am trying to install and configure nagios on RHEL 5. I have apache 2 installed and php all working as exepected. When i install nagios following the these steps [URL]. The nagios folder that is suppossed to be placed under apache2's httpd is no where to be seen. So when I try to open localhost/nagios/. It says: The requested URL /nagios/ was not found on this server. What can I do for the nagios to work on this system. The apache and php are working fine.
issue in starting up Open view monitoring on couple of linux servers and here is the output from mii-tool looks like.
eth0: 100 Mbit, full duplex, link ok eth1: 100 Mbit, full duplex, link ok
[code].....
Based on what I understand, eth0 goes to monitoring and the other 2 ethernet cards go to FE. I am not an expert in system administration but would like to know if there is any issues with the above settings/configuration (in fact, im also looking for what do they infer and what is the settings?
One monitor is working fine but the display is not coming on other monitor. I guess no problem in monitor because I swapped the cable to check the individual monitor. When I try to install the new driver its giving GCC-VERSION-CHECK while installing. And I do not think I have to install the new driver because it has already one. What should I do to configure the dual monitor. Do I have to edit any configuration file.
My system configuration details are below. Redhat version : Redhat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon update 4) Driver in SRBC 26: NVIDIA-LINUX-x86_64-1.0-7664-pkg2.run Nvidia card model : Quadro fx p171 Bios version of Nvidia : 4.35.20.23.07 p/n : 900-50171-0400-0000K 600-50171-0002-201J
I want to create a small network of 3-5 computers. I want to have one computer as my server and have services like NFS, DHCP, NTP, etc. I want to connect it to 2-4 other clients that have the bare minimal installation of linux on them. I would like 1 client computer to have a static ip address and I would like another to receive a dynamic ip address from the server. How would I go about doing all of this without the assistance of GUI's? I want to be able to do all this with the ks.cfg and network config files.
I am new to mysql can some one provide me the documentation or some recommended links to start the configuration of mysql server on RHEL. Also if I get the database schema, how can I replicate the same in my machine. Any documentation for this?
I have installed RHEL5U5 but I've also tested RHEL5U4 and the problem is: Once configured the multipath, I restart the server,and with the command-ll mutipath I can see the LUN presented correctly:
What are the bare minimum configuration files that would be needed to rebuild a RHEL server?We are thinking about creating a generic base image and then just copying over the necessary files (fstab, hosts, networking, etc) to get a failed system back up and running in the least amount of time possible. I am fairly new to Linux and have suggested that we have a share on a redundant server that is /server_configs/Svr_name/*.* (names are subject to change and *.* would be all of the pertinent config files to make a fresh build customized enough to emulate the failed server).Is this even possible and/or plausible?
how to start wifi on rhel 5 then from some source i got a little bit knowledge but it is stil not working steps followed by me were:
system/administrators/network
network -configuration wizard opened here i did some steps which result into the following line [checked]active eth0 eth0 wireless then i click activate it gets activate as shown in the above line means it gets activated but iam not able to ping from my router iam provided with network key and ip address now what to do? i have entered the key and ip address.but it is not still pinging from router. one more thing before rhel, i have ubuntu 9.04, on this i configure wifi my ownself. but why it is not working on rhel.
our oracle(oracle 10G) server got a serious problem, the OS is SLES 9 SP4, two HBA adapters(QLogic 2340) with NetApp FC Storage(FAS3140), we have installed multipath-tools on this server and ensure that physical connection and swith configuration are correct, but we only can see a path
I upgraded a DL580 G4 server from Red Hat 4.4 to 5.2 (2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and now when I run the multipath - l command I only see one path. There are 4 LUNs being presented on each fibre channel, so I should see sda - sdh in /dev, but I only see sda - sdd.
I am working on a server which connected to two EMC storage box. when i am checking the multipath information of a disk its showing as 8 paths. how to understand 8 paths for a single disk.
I was using win-7. I tried to install RHEL 6 today. [dual boot]/ = 40000 MB and /boot = 1000 MBThe installation completed successfully.The problem is that it is not showing the graphical mode.
