The BIOS reports 4.0GB of memory installed but doesn't appear to have an option to enable/disable PAE. So perhaps PAE isn't supported by the BIOS? Or PAE is enabled by default. This is something I need to check with my system vendor, however it still seems odd. Why would the BIOS report 4.0GB of installed memory without being able to use all 4.0GB? A colleague mentioned that it has to do with how the BIOS calculates installed memory: installed memory size is calculated by the BIOS by taking the difference between the highest and lowest memory addresses. Is it typica for a BIOS to report 4.0GB (beyond the 32bit max address without PAE) yet not support PAE?

I have a machine with 4GB memory installed which the system reports as 4GB but I can actually only see just over 3.5GB -- the remainder would appear to be mapped and I/O space and whatnot because the chipset cannot address more than 4GB. (It seems to not have enough address lines.) However, putting 4x1GB DIMMs in this machine is the only way to get the 3.5+GB. In my particular case, though, I need to check the BIOS to see if it allows PAE to be turned on and in that case I would be able to use all the memory (hurray!) and Windows wouldn't boot (hurray!). jch -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I upgraded the BIOS, but still it was the limitation of the BIOS to present the 4GBs to OS. After loading up PAE kernel running Fedora 6 with some tweaks, i was able to get more memory from the box. Initially i had 3.3 and it went to 3.7GB. Long story short, it was vendor/model specific issue for me and not so much kernel/OS. ________________________________________ From: rhelv6-list-bounces at redhat.com [rhelv6-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan M.

Reason i guess is that, system tries to boot from SAN disk instead of internal disk and fails to boot b. I have checked in the BIOS setting that first boot priority is set to Internal disk and not SAN disk. 4. When I removed the SAN cable from the system, it again boots up properly. No issues found. Can anyone let me know the solutions for that and any reason why this is happening? Thanks in Advance!!!!

Here, we use many iscsi LUNs per server, and they must have predictable and persistent names. We use bonded interfaces, so we don't need multipath for performance, but it has much more to offer than simple network load balancing and fail-over. By taking advantage of multipath, we can force order into a dynamic environment. Multipath allows us to ignore the /dev/sd?? entries all together, and use names that we define and have complete control over. A small sample of ours: # cat /etc/multipath.conf # defaults { user_friendly_names yes path_grouping_policy multibus max_fds 2048 } multipaths { multipath { wwid 36090a068706be755e8d694a95a010040 alias 008917 } multipath { wwid 36090a068706bd72fc2d6f4685a01b046 alias 008948 } } We get the wwid in our scripts from multipath when the drive is first enabled. We then generate a common name based upon our account IDs to give it a friendly name, and generate entries as you see above. A multipath -r makes the dev entries in /dev/mapper. Thus I can simply: ls /dev/mapper and see all accounts on this server. Very handy. For internal hard drives, the advice to use uuid is a sound one. You should not need to specify /dev/sd?? in fstab or in the boot command. Good Luck! From millerdc at fusion.gat.com Tue May 17 21:22:39 2011 From: millerdc at fusion.gat.com (David C.

It's chipset related. For instance, a Dell Lattitude D820 has the Intel 945 chipset; the D830 has the 965. The 945 that's in the D820 (also Precision M65) is unable to address beyond 4GB period, PAE or no PAE, and chipset support is required for the CPU to do it (and since the PCIe devices require address space, the memory hole under that address space isn't usable, much like in the old Xt and AT real mode architecture where even if you had 1MB of RAM you could only get 640K normally, and somewhat less than 1MB with UMB mapping support, and the HMA with A20 handler support added just short of 64K above the 1MB ). The 965, at least in the D830, can address above 4GB, and you can get the full amount with remapping support to get the RAM normally shadowed by the PCI/PCIe address space mapped above the 4GB (32bit addressing) line. Look for the BIOS option relating to the 'memory hole' or similar remapping. Then the PAE support in the CPU can access A32-A35 and get at the rest of the memory.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 is the first service pack since the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. As with every service pack, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 consolidates all patches and security updates since the introduction of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and maintains application compatibility, ISV and IHV support. Already the established leader as both a virtual machine guest and hypervisor host, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 introduces new features that solidify Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the standard operating system platform for the enterprise. To that end, this service pack: * Sets a new SpecVirt record in multi-core scaling due to its reduced overhead of networking and storage. It also brings more control to managing the virtual machine with enhanced resource management (cgroups) to ensure predictable performance of critical applications. * Achieves better performance and provides more configuration options for advanced networking storage. Enhancements to FCoE, Data Center Bridging and iSCSI offload allow networked storage to deliver the quality of service commonly associated with directly connected storage. * Achieves more enterprise reliability with support for the latest availability features like hot-plug of processor and memory. * Extends our current clustering solution (available with the High Availability Add-On) to the virtual environment allowing for high availability of virtual machines and applications running inside those virtual machines. * Includes updated developer tools that allow you to inspect additional levels of processor memory with the help of Valgrind and learn more about running processes with SystemTap. These enhancements have been integrated into the Eclipse IDE for a unified development experience. * Provides an easier transition to IPv6 catered to optimized networking, firewall and DHCP/DNS services. This service pack also introduces several new technologies that enable smoother enterprise deployments and tighter integration with heterogeneous systems. * Includes enterprise identity services based on the open source FreeIPA project to provide an authentication and authorization framework for large enterprise deployments. * Introduces new certificate-based subscription management tools that provide customers with more visibility into what type of subscription they have purchased and what systems have been entitled to that subscription(s).

Message-ID: <7C481A0A0BBE9E4BA110F26D7A2BFFDC026E7C38@nodmx01.igglobal.com> Hi all, I have been contemplating about using an appropriate server that would support NFSv2 over IPv6. RHEL5 doesn't support IPv6 over NFS by default. I tried installing a few libraries and patches but it doesn't seem to be working out yet due to some missing dependencies. RHEL6 *seems* to support just the NFS client over IPv6. Further it seems to support only NFSv4 as it generates an error if I force the NFS version to 2 in the mount options[mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified]. >From the RHEL6.1 Technical documentation, it specifies that NFS server support over IPv6 is introduced in this release. However it is still not clear if the support is still over NFSv4 only or includes NFSv2 as well. Is there any standard Operating system distribution that currently supports NFSv2 server over IPv6? Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Best Regards, Upakul Barkakaty -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
