Server :: Beowulf Cluster With Xen On IBM Bladecenter For Private Virtual Machine Farm
Feb 16, 2009I'm probably dreaming, but I have a hobby project in mind that I would like feed I have an opportunity to purchase a 3 year old fully populated (14 x 3Ghz dual Xeon nodes) IBM bladecenter relatively inexpensively.I thought it would be fun to set it up as a beowulf cluster with open source xen and test the market to see what people would pay for Private virtual machines.
My thoughts are to use 64 bit Centos 5 as a base to get the beowulf cluster up and then load xen.I haven't really looked at the market but I figure I should be able to run 50 private virtual machines charging say $50 per month. I figure I can use rsync to backup the virtual machines to a different location. I plan to connect to linux based Network Storage running 3 x sata 1TB drives, probably via iSCSI. Along with the drive capacity currently on the blades I should get 2-3Tb online capacity over a Gbit network. (Cisco 14 + 4 network switch module)
I realise I have a bit of setup work to do and before I go investing a lot of time and a little money I'd appreciate some pragmatic advice as to why this may be a stupid venture.
Hardware :: Ibm Bladecenter Locked Up
May 27, 2009Not sure if this is hardware or maybe a configuration somewhere.We recently had an IBM bladecenter blade lock up. When I accessed the server via the remote console(could ping but not ssh) I saw the attached screen shot.The first line is the only thing that makes any sense to me(kmem_cache_alloc) Does this mean I have a program that is leaking memory or maybe a setting somewhere saying Im allocating too much/not enough memory?
I was reading that kmalloc should be at 128KB, does this mean the 145 for kmem_cache should be at 128? Im not really sure what all that means or how I would change it. The server has 8GB of memory plus 12GBs of swap.
I didnt see anything of note in /var/log/messages prior to the lock up, except when rebooted the time was 4 hours off. Which may be another problem with how I have ntp set up.
Server :: Driver Support - QME2572 - Qlogic - Card Became Support By The Kernel
Jul 10, 2011I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: How To Install 10.04 LTS On Bladecenter
May 21, 2010As reported on Launchpad as bug 574468, installation of 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 fails on IBM Bladecenters because the installer fails to detect the CD, due to a bug that has yet to be tracked down. I've developed a workaround that will allow Ubuntu 10.04 Server to be installed on a Bladecenter blade by mounting an Ubuntu Server ISO image as a loopback device (and then further working around issues that arise from manually mounting the ISO image), and want to document it here. You will need:
1. an Ubuntu Server 10.04 CD.
2. a USB stick formatted as ext2 with the Ubuntu Server ISO image stored on it. Other file systems may work as well, however fat32 does not seem to work, as I was unable to mount a fat32 USB stick in the installer shell.
3. a Bladecenter with a CD drive and a USB port. Both devices should be "attached" to whichever blade you're trying to install Ubuntu on.
Installation Steps
1. boot your blade to the Ubuntu Server CD. Make sure the USB stick is plugged in as well.
2. proceed with the installer as normal, setting the keyboard layout, etc.
3. when the installer gets to the point where it fails to detect the CD, go back to the main menu and select "Execute Shell."
4. in the shell, mount the USB stick with commands like these:
Code:
mkdir /mnt/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
5. copy the Ubuntu Server ISO image to the /root directory of the live file system with a command like:
Code:
cp /mnt/sdb1/ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso /root/ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso
6. mount the Ubuntu Server ISO image as a loopback device with mountpoint /cdrom:
Code:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /root/ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso /cdrom
7. unmount the USB stick (but leave it plugged in):
Code:
umount /dev/sdb1
Unmounting the USB stick seemed to be necessary in order to work around the "Failed to determine codename" issue detailed below in steps 9 and 10.
8. type "exit" to exit the shell and go back to the main menu. From there, select the option to detect the CD ROM.
9. continue with the installation. It will go through networking and partitioning. After partitioning, however, it will fail again, complaining that it "Failed to determine codename for release."
10. at this point, go back to the main menu and choose the option to "Load installer components from CD." Then check the option that reads "Load Installer Components from an ISO Image" and press Continue.
After the packages for detecting and loading ISOs are installed, the installer should automatically search all available disk drives (mounted and unmounted) for ISO images.
It should find the ISO image stored on your USB key and mount it.the installation will continue as normal and you will not get the error message about failing to determine the codename for the release. If this process fails, go back to the command shell and unmount your USB key--for some reason I found that if the key was mounted, the installer wasn't able to auto-detect the ISO image stored on it.
The codename issue seems to be related to the installer not liking that the ISO image was mounted manually. Letting the installer find and mount the ISO image itself apparently allows it to perform whatever magic is required to allow the installation to proceed. I figured this out mostly thanks to the tip in post #3 of bug 122402. Here's hoping the real bug gets fixed soon so that all this hassle is not necessary in order to install an LTS release on popular server hardware.
Hardware :: RHEL 5.3 On Bladecenter With GPT Disks
Aug 28, 2009As stated in the subject line, we have an IBM BladeCenter (HS22). Some of these Blades are supposed to have Windows Server 2008, some RHEL 5.3, and some a dual boot of both. The WS2008 only installs have gone just fine. However, when I went to do one of the dual boot machines (the next highest priority), I ran into problems. I did the Windows install, then went to do the RHEL. Told the installer where everything should go, like any other time I've done this (although usually on less swanky machines). Then got an error:"Your boot partition is on a disk using GPT partitioning scheme but this
machine can not boot using GPT.
This can happen if there is not enough space on your hard drive.The error must be corrected before you try to install Redhat Enterprise server. "To be honest, this was the first time I'd heard of GPT (or EFI), as I've been out of hardware/installs/etc... for a few years, other than fiddling at home in between coding projects.
So I've done some research, and so far what I'm seeing implies that the RHEL 5.3 kernel should support GPT. But that perhaps the issue is the Anaconda installer (specifically its partitioning tool). Does this sound correct? So is there a RHEL release out there with a different installer/partitioner? Or if I use a different tool to partition first, would that work? The disks aren't large enough to *require* GPT, but that's how they are by default, and down the road it'd be nice to know how to work with that, to keep things consistent. Also, the dual boot with WS2008 is much easier with GPT, as that version of Windows seems to require it.If anyone has any thoughts/confirmations/assertions that I'm horribly wrong on the above questions, or any tips on the dual booting other than that (since I'm guessing the logistics will now change with EFI from what I'm used to on older systems), it is vastly appreciated.
Debian :: EXFAT Support Vs NTFS Support ?
Aug 25, 2010I'm looking to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6 upon its release on my sister's laptop. I want to share a partition between the two of them so that /home points to this directory and the Windows equivalent also points to it (C:Users).
Anyway, I've heard good and bad things about the NTFSMount driver (I think it's NTFS-3G now) and the NTFSprogs project and so I am not so certain what I should believe. I do know that NTFS has relatively high overhead, though I do not recall the source of this assertion, so I am considering the use of EXFAT. An open source EXFAT project is hosted on Google Code at [url] and it utilizes the kernel module FUSE.
I'm quite certain that I've got everything covered on the Windows side -- that is, I know that both NTFS and EXFAT will be suitable filesystems for my required usage.
My issue is that I'm curious which will have superior performance and stability in Debian. I planned on building the package from source and mounting the device in my FSTAB but I have also found a PPA for Ubuntu on Launchpad at [url] that I could borrow the debian/rules from and make a .deb package from.
What do you guys think? Should I go at it with the EXFAT or NTFS partitioning? Is NTFS-3G actually fairly supported at this point? Or perhaps should I consider some alternate method?
I have also considered that the only files she will be sharing are those of music, videos, and pictures so it could be better to just link /home/xxxx/Pictures (Music and Videos, too) to the new partition instead of all of /home.

Jan 21, 2010One year after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias "lenny" and nearly three years after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias "etch" the security support for the old distribution (4.0 alias "etch") is coming to an end next month. The Debian project is proud to be able to support its old distribution for such a long time and even for one year after a new version has been released.
The Debian project released Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias "lenny" on the 15th of February 2009. Users and Distributors have been given a one-year time frame to upgrade their old installations to the current stable release. Hence, the security support for the old release of 4.0 is going to end in February 2010 as previously announced.Previously announced security updates for the old release will continue to be available on security.debian.org.

Server :: Openssl Support For SNI And TLS?
Apr 1, 2010I want to recompile Apache in order to be SNI supportive because I need to use ssl named based virtual host:
I referred to the following links:

I installed the latest version of openssl which is now openssl-1.0.0 I ran the following commands:
./config enable-tlsext --prefix=/usr/local2 --openssldir=/usr/local2/openssl
make
make test
make install
then to recompile apache with new SNI support I ran the following:
./configure --enable-so --enable-ssl --enable-rewrite --enable-unique-id --with-ssl=/usr/local2/openssl
make
make install
After that when I start Apache: /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k start I get the following error:
SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck failed; OpenSSL is not built with support for TLS extensions and SNI indication. Refer to the documentation, and build a compatible version of OpenSSL.

Server :: Add Support For German Characters?
Jul 8, 2010I have one java web application deployed in Linux environment by which I am trying to download file's from Linux server. These files have samba mounting from windows server. While downloading any file, if the file name contains simple english characters it works fine but if that file name contain German character's like then file corrupt while downloading. After analysis I found that after samba mounting these Germen characters get replaced with '?' in Linux (May be Linux unable to identify characters).Linux environment is set to LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
And we have done mounting with below options,
iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=cp850
and also try with iocharset=utf8.
Also try by installing following package,
kde-i18n-German-3.0.0-5.noarch.rpm
but it doesnt help us.
The same application works fine in windows environment. I check it on internet, and I found that for this issue you have to add support for German characters in Linux environment. Anybody know how to add German character support to Linux or How to resolve this issue??

Server :: Setup Bind 9 To Support Web And Mail?
Mar 13, 2010I am working on setting up a bind 9 nameserver that will be responsible for serving up DNS records for my internal network and publicly for my web server. My configuration is below:
Firewall Gateway (Ubuntu Server 9.10) ---> switch ---> internal servers (ubuntu server 9.10 and mac os x server)
The internal servers are all on the same subnet, so DNS, web and mail will all be on the same subnet of private IPs. Each internal server is mapped with SNAT to a public IP address. And the DNS server only has port 53 forwarded to it.I am trying to figure out the best way to set up my nameserver so that it can provide records for my internal servers based on private IP addresses, and then provide records to the public for my internal servers based on their public IP addresses. I had a few questions on this:
1) Is this the correct way to think about my setup, or is this typically done in another way?
2) Does anyone have recommendations on the specific configuration I should follow?
3) Are there specific references I should look into as well?
