Am I right thinking that when using NFS4, the one and only thing to do is open port 2049 in iptables?

We have an XFS file system that seems to be going a bit crazy. Running a fully patched RHEL 6.2 system we are running KVM instances with libvirt with a default pool on a XFS file system. I destroyed a domain at which point the qemu-kvm process went into zombie (Z) state. I tried to restart libvirtd and it also went into zombie state. # ps axuww | grep Z USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 45678 0.1 0.0 0 0 ? Zl Feb29 0:58 [libvirtd] qemu 47218 0.6 0.0 0 0 ? Zl Feb29 6:19 [qemu-kvm] Now the xfsconvertd processes are all showing up in constant device wait state (D). The other KVM vms on the file system seem to be working with no issue. We can read and write to the file system other than the raw disk image that was associated with the destroyed domain. Any operations on that file cause the process to go into device wait state (D). We have mounted the file system as normal XFS with the default options, # mount | grep xfs /dev/mapper/vol00-libvirt on /var/lib/libvirt/images type xfs (rw) I would have submitted a ticket to Red Hat however we are an Academic subscriber and they decided to wack the very low level support avenue (Web Help Desk) we had in previous years when they reworked their line items this year.

Using passive DP->DVI adapters you can only drive two monitors. So if your monitors don't have DP ports, you may not be able to drive more than two of them with either card. You should check the specs carefully. But as far as which card to choose -- the NVS450 has 4 ports, the v4900 has three. The NVS is passively cooled, which is nice. ::shrug:: not sure which way I'd go there. They're both nice cards. The main point I was trying to make was that when it comes to configuring large multi-display environments, the Eyefinity stuff makes it very easy, even if the drivers themselves are a bit of a chore to deal with. ---- Paul Krizak Staff IT Engineer, IAS Qualcomm, Inc -----Original Message----- From: rhelv6-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhelv6-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of thomas at redhat.com Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 2:17 PM To: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Santiago) discussion mailing-list Subject: Re: [rhelv6-list] Opinions on multi-head -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey - Since I want three displays (and I have three identical DVI-D monitors), do you think the v4900 is better or worse than the NVS-450?

Have you looked at Gluster? Red Hat bought the company last year and has released it as the Storage Software Appliance: http://www.redhat.com/products/storage/storage-software/ I've played with it quite a bit, and it is pretty nice. It offers good performance, replication, even geo-replication. Take a look at it and let us know if you have any questions. - -- Thomas Cameron, RHCA, RHCSS, RHCDS, RHCVA, RHCX Chief Architect, Canada and Central US 512-241-0774 office / 512-585-5631 cell http://people.redhat.com/tcameron/ IRC: choirboy / AIM: rhelguy / Yahoo: rhce_guy /Google+ http://ongpl.us/tdc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9U9yIACgkQmzle50YHwaBXhACfXbRHZ7o4T7ZYXuRA+tIjvIbT zOUAn1+aCd91Oehp9bVWR4ptwOUNC8/p =MVvb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From gsgatlin at ncsu.edu Mon Mar 5 18:39:37 2012 From: gsgatlin at ncsu.edu (Gary Gatling) Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2012 13:39:37 -0500 Subject: [rhelv6-list] Changing login display manager In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: You can select window managers in the "new" gdm. Its just not as obvious how it works. Type your "username" or click on it if disable_user_list is false and then a "box" appears in the panel that goes along the bottom of the screen. This box has a down arrow that lets you select which session type you want. It defaults to GNOME. For me all I get is a choice between GNOME or KDE. So I'm not sure how you would add other window managers but the new login screen does allow you to pick a session type. But not until after the loginID has been typed in or selected.There is a box to the left that also lets you pick a language that appears at the same time as the other "box."

I specialize in HPC, and Lustre is definitely the most popular of the parallel filesystems used in that space. The next most popular is probably IBM's GPFS. Another popular option is PVFS and it's descendant OrangeFS. There are plenty of university's and national labs are using Lustre, GPFS, or OrangeFS, Lustre and PVFS/OrangeFS are open source. Since Sun was leading the development of Lustre, WhamCloud, Inc. took stewardship of the Lustre project after the Oracle buyout of Sun. GPFS is a commercial product, and an expensive one at that, but I know plenty of people who've decided it's worth the cost (or really, really want someone else to blame when things go south. OrangeFS/PVFS are open source projects from Clemson University. There plenty of academic papers and whitepapers comparing the performance and architecture of parallel filesystems. I would google the names of each of the parallel filesystems, and spend some time learning about all of them and parallel filesystems in general before making a decision. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.

NFS is not a parallel filesystem, and it's not fault-tolerant, which were the OP's requirements. NFS is fine for most day-to-day use (that's why it's so ubiquitous), but when you have 100+ nodes accessing the server at once, you can see it's weaknesses, which is why filesystems like Lustre and PVFS started appeariing soon after Linux clusters came onto the scene. -- Prentice From pmeyer at themeyerfarm.com Mon Mar 5 22:30:42 2012 From: pmeyer at themeyerfarm.com (Phil Meyer) Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2012 15:30:42 -0700 Subject: [rhelv6-list] Distributed parallel fault-tolerant file systems In-Reply-To: <4F553003.5040308@ias.edu> References: <4F552BF4.9070004@themeyerfarm.com> <4F553003.5040308@ias.edu> Message-ID: <4F553E92.2060202@themeyerfarm.com> On 03/05/2012 02:28 PM, Prentice Bisbal wrote: > On 03/05/2012 04:11 PM, Phil Meyer wrote: >> On 03/05/2012 09:34 AM, Bohmer, Andre ten wrote: >>> Hello, >>> >>> Any advise or experience from production systems regarding distributed >>> parallel fault-tolerant file systems like Lustre ? >>> We would like to offer high performance, redundant storage via nfs >>> and cifs >>> from Redhat servers. >>> >>> At this we've HP's XP9000 Ibrix in use, but performance is not all that >>> great. >>> >> My test results are nearly 2 years old by now, but at that time we >> concluded that, for NFS, the very best performing and low >> administration solution was Isilon. >> >> Need more space?

I'm not doubting that - I've heard good things about Isilon. Unless your Isilon is using pNFS, the *NFS* is not parallel. The data access within the Isilon between the head unit and the disks might be parallel, but clients accessing the data on the Isilon are not doing it in parallel, therefore the NFS itself is not parallel. And this is the bottleneck that parallel filesystems are designed to deal with.

I can't speak as an expert, but I believe that the isilon head node plays games with DNS such that the the client load is spread across several nodes. Individial clients connections aren't parallel, but access through the head node isn't the single point of failure. -- Jonathan Billings College of Engineering - CAEN - Unix and Linux Support From janfrode at tanso.net Tue Mar 6 07:51:43 2012 From: janfrode at tanso.net (Jan-Frode Myklebust) Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 08:51:43 +0100 Subject: [rhelv6-list] Distributed parallel fault-tolerant file systems In-Reply-To: <4F550FE0.1080705@ias.edu> References: <4F550FE0.1080705@ias.edu> Message-ID: <20120306075143.GA11604@dibs.tanso.net> On Mon, Mar 05, 2012 at 02:11:28PM -0500, Prentice Bisbal wrote: > > I specialize in HPC, I'm an ex-HPC admin, now more a server/HA-admin, and have brought GPFS with me from the HPC days.

Yes, the licensing model for GPFS seems tuned for HPC-clusters with few "server" nodes.

There's no reason why you shouldn't have a start-up script like firstboot that does what you want, it's not at all difficult to write such a script. jch -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Now days, regardless of whether 'network' or NetworkManager are in control, if you want your /etc/resolv.conf to be specific, then set up your primary interface definition to make it so. In the file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- You need to add all of your specific resolv.conf entries, such as: DNS1="216.239.32.10" DNS2="216.83.130.2" DNS3="216.83.130.7" DOMAIN="mydomain.com" SEARCH="mydomain.com. yourdomain.com. otherdomain.com."

The "switch user" functionality in the display manager often has the X server grabbing multiple screens. You may have something listening there already. Look for /tmp/.X*lock You can also try starting vncserver on a different screen (e.g. vncserver :5) to see if it will start. If it does, it's not the font catalog.

This fouled my new kernel (2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64) with the following: [drm:drm edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 88 (repeated 3 more times) [drm] nouveau 0000:06:00:0 DDC responded, but no EDID for VGA-1 Kernel panic I have a GdForce 8400GS IO Express 2.0 graphics card w/DDR3 I got the system back up by booting the original kernel (2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64). There is no mention of RedHat on the video card website wvga.com in the driver section. Is there a glimmer of hope that this card can work with RHEL 6.2? Upon further research, I tried booting the kernel, and at the choose which kernel screen, added: nomodeset edid_force_checksum=1 nouveau.modeset=0 This removed display of the EDID checksum errors, but still kernel panic'ed with the dreaded: kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! All the helpful hinters said to check /var/log/* and this seemed to be unhelpful since "not syncing" seems to also mean "not writing useful stuff onto the log files". It is possible that though the following Adaptec card can read enough to boot, it doesn't see the filesystems when the kernel takes over. Also I have found that the Adaptec 6805 RAID SAS/SATA card is tough to install. I did find a path where installing RHEL 6.0 does work. I have found no path to install 6.2 directly. For quite a while I have found Adaptec to be basically native to Red Hat, but this card is hostile to install. As far as that goes, I got RHEL 5.5 working, but not 5.8 for installation. I saw a mention of kmod-aacraid-1.1.7-3.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm over on Dag's http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/x86_64/RPMS/ that sounded really tempting to install, but I don't know if it would blow up my working original kernel or not. Until I am confident of a direction, I'd kind of like to keep this kernel working so I can continue to try this and that. Thanks all in advance, Bill Watson bill at magicdigits.com
