Software :: Deploy A New Network With PCs And Servers?
Jan 30, 2011
We are going to deploy a new network with PCs and servers. until here, Windows was choosen. However, because of legacy applications, Linux is now chosen. Therefore, I am looking for something to replace Active Directory. I know there are software for eacho prupose (BIND for DNS, But I would like to have a central tool with integration between services as Active Directory can provide.
The services I need are:
- DHCP
- DNS
- Directory for central authentication (workstations are not on stand alone)
- File shares
- Binary repository for upgrade (as WSUS on Windows)
- NTP
I am looking for a server solution that would allow me to deploy Windows Desktops and software to clients on the network. Ideally I am looking for a Linux server solution but would consider a Windows Open Source alternative.
In the past I have used Symantec Altiris Deployment Server.
We have to install centos 5.5 in approx 60 servers and we want to have a server in which we can create an image of 1 server and deploy it on all other severs through pxe. Mainly all servers will be having raid 5 or raid 1 configured. So the utility should be having the raid support.
I wonder if there is any fast deploy kernel for multiple servers / VPSs when new kernel is available? Kernel from RHE/CentOS is always old comparing to new versions from kernel.org
i wanted to deploy a firewall for my wireless network. low power footprint & small device that can be installed with linux to create a small firewall appliance.i might try configuring shorewall on it.
Is there any one know how to deploy a remote OS installation for a host with public network address? In a LAN with private network, we can use PXE, kickstart... but what we could do with the hosts have only public ip address?
I work for an independent school where most of our computers run Windows 7 and Mac OS X. I've started installing Ubuntu (11.04) on some of our older machines, thus introducing Linux to our environment and recycling computers which would otherwise be candidates for the garbage truck. While I am familiar with imaging and deploying Windows and Mac OS, I am lost when it comes to Linux. I have set up a computer with all of the settings and applications that I would like the other computers to have. how can I image that reference machine and then transfer that image onto another PC?
how I can deploy a WAR file with a Tomcat that happens to be installed on a server. I divided it to different small questions but no strait answer so far.
These are the things I've done:
created a myapps folder inside the tomcat directory, and copied the WAR file there.
These are the questions:
1. I did not touch anything inside the Tomcat folder, anything need to be changed?.
2.How to start the Tomcat so that it can deploy th e WAR file?
I've created a live cd with wubuntu.iso on it and am having trouble getting it to deploy on another laptop. Is there another file in the remastersys folder that needs to be added so it will auto deploy? This is part of remastersys creation for cloning your system to deploy on another laptop/pc.
I have ubuntu 10.04LTS server. Open jdk and tomcat6 installed from synaptic package manager. I run different war files on tomcat6. I downloaded apache-continuum-1.3.7.war. I followed the instructions on apache continuum web site. [URL]
I am trying to deploy servlet into Jboss and while starting jboss server it showing some messages which says something like this Packages waiting for deployer and complete server start-up information.
i installed apache 2.2.15 in my system its working properly.... but i deployed some php files in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs ... i was not able to run that php files ..... if i run that php file in browser it shows content of that file... for an example i created one test.php file(it contains <?php echo "hello world" ?>) and put it in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs... if i run in browser using this [URL] its shows in browse like this <?php echo "hello world" ?>......
I thought of a command that would make my life easier, though I do not know how to deploy it with bash script. The idea- A simple script that would check in a the current directory for *.bz2 or *.gz files,and when finds one of those,or both - execute a tar -xvf *.bz2/*.gz following the files that have been found there. It should be very simple,as I am very new to bash,I can`t figure that out. I wrote :
[Code]....
The idea ls command that would find *.gz files in the current dir,then it outputs the errors to ./tmp.txt, if there were no errors = a tar.gz archive found,tmp.txt will be blank,hence the cat command that checks the file. The wrong - I couldn`t succeed with the "cat 'tmp.txt' == '' ;" ,as cat command searches == as a file and it fails.
Does Linux have any patch management software/solution which can distribute the patches to linux and windows clients OR is it possible that we can deploy the patches from Linux to windows machines
I need to deploy Windows Server 2008 R2 onto a server that is currently running Linux. Effectively, I want to restore a Windows disk image onto the Linux system hard disk.I don't have physical access to the machine, so I need to find a way to do everything remotely, using SSH (no KVM). And the Linux machine only has one hard disk - the one containing the OS. However, I might be able to create a partition in free space at the end of the hard disk to store the image (I might need some help with the Linux commands). Or perhaps the image file can be pulled via FTP.
I tried Acronis but was disappointed to find that it doesn't seem to allow me to overwrite the system partition (unlike the Windows version of Acronis, which is capable of doing this with a restart).
I have a Dual Boot system set up that i need to be able to deploy to a dozen identical computers in a lab envrionment. from a linux server. In order to do this i will need to be able to clone the MBR, Partition Table, and all the data.

we're about to migrate a set of workstations (ubuntu 10.04 LTS) to a new kerberos/LDAP setup. Basically, this requires the installation of some required deb packages and to copy some new .conf files over the original ones.We made a deb package having these "features":requires the needed other packages as dependenciesbacks up original conf filescopies the new conf files to the right places (i.e. /etc/krb5.conf,/etc/ldap.conf)The problem is: apt-get complains because the deb is "touching" files owned by other packages (kerberos, ldap, etc.). Therefore, the only way to skip this check is either to force apt-get to proceed or using the "replaces" directive in the deb control file, specifying the clashing packages. omething like this:
Will there be any issues installing and then subsequently running a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 installation on a VirtualBox VM on a Linux host (Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit)? I require Windows Server 2008 R2 for a course I'm taking, and I dont have any systems to install/deploy it onto.
Host Machine Specs:
Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit 4GB RAM 350GB Disk Space Nvidia Quadro system
I am trying to deploy a helloworld application of grails in war format which exists.To geronimo web server while deploying it failed and gives following error the username and passwords are the default that come with geromino is it the right way to use or I should do some thing more.GUI based deployement is not possible for me.It is an SSH server where Geromino is running. System configuration is
Problem with my Internet connection. I can't connect to the update servers. I don't know why. It's a brand new installation, not a week old yet. I can't install the support for restricted media for example. The servers won't refresh in YaST. It tells me it can't download the repomd.xml.asc.
The other problem is that some servers on the web won't load for me either.
For example, I get most of my local news from The Toronto Star, and I can't connect to it's website at all.
I can from Windows (I dual boot) but not SUSE. I don't think its a problem limited to that one website either. I am able to connect to most websites though.
I've installed the Ubuntu 10.04 Server onto a PPC G4 Mac just for the experience of setting up a server. During the installation process Ubuntu couldn't auto-configure my DHCP Network. I'm using the airport card on a wireless network. How can I manually configure the network once Ubuntu is installed.
I've installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 with two network cards. One for external, and one internal.My problem is that as soon as i activate eth1 (external), i can't access the server from the internal network (eth0)
With these settings i can't reach the internal network from inside.If i disable the gateway on eth1 and enable the gateway on eth0, it works.
I installed a simple VPN pptp. Works fine to connect to the linux server. However I would like to connect my other linux-server and (more important) my old Novell 6.0 server. Anyone have an idear what I need to change?
