It sounds to me like you had software RAID running, and if it was mirroring then it was RAID 1, not 0. If you don't see anything about RAID when the machine is booting up (pre OS loading) then there probably isn't any hardware RAID. As for getting your RAID set back: Does the RedHat WS install see any pre-existing partitions on your drives?

Only problem now is the ethernet card is not recognized. /etc/modules.conf has the alias for etho still. dmesg has no recording of anything for eth0 for new kernel cat of /proc/pci finds no ethernet reference trying to load manually with modprobe or insmod results in not found. checked the .config files for both.

As was suggested earlier, make sure you don't have multiple accounts, and that the account you're dealing w/ has available RHEL 3AS entitlements: https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/channels/entitlements.pxt Also, check not just the contents, but the version of your redhat-release: [root at mrfurious root]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 2) [root at mrfurious root]# rpm -q redhat-release redhat-release-3AS-7.2 (You might not have update 2... not a big deal... it's the 3AS bit that matters) If those look correct, you might try updating your package profile, to ensure that RHN has an accurate representation of your rpm manifest: [root at mrfurious root]# up2date -p Updating package profile... Updating transaction history... [root at mrfurious root]# Lastly, you might double check to ensure that up2date isn't "faking out" RHN w/ altered release info... run: [root at mrfurious root]# up2date --configure then select the 'Retrieval / Installation' tab, then look at the dropdown near the bottom that is labeled 'Override version stored in System Profile'. Make sure that is set to blank / empty. Hope this helps. --Bret From Mark.Knutsen at nasdaq.com Fri Aug 6 20:43:10 2004 From: Mark.Knutsen at nasdaq.com (Knutsen, Mark) Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2004 16:43:10 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] Up2date problems Message-ID: Regarding your first question: Red Hat doesn't support that upgrade; how did you perform it? Instructions I've posted to this list note that the redhat-release package changed names (to "redhat-release-3AS", for example), so you may have both lying around. Pop in CD #1 and: mount /mnt/cdrom (if necessary) rpm -e redhat-release rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/redhat-release* Maybe that will help. Also, some RHL8 packages that no longer exist in RHEL3 may cause dependency problems when you run up2date. If this happens, note the error message and remove the offending packages. Keep a running package list and post it here to benefit others.

Hello, I believe that your question has been mostly answered already, but I decided to write a little more in case someone searches the archives later. So, you know that you should be using locate, so that's a start as to where to look to hunt for more information. If I do a man on locate on my systems, I get a man page for slocate (but not a man page for updatedb, the command you you need). If I do a man -k slocate, however, I get listings for slocate and updatedb. This is how you might find information for the next time. (Actually, I think that this is a deficiency of the slocate man page to not mention updatedb.) Ideally, updatedb should be run as a cron job. In fact,when I look: # grep updatedb /etc/cron*/* /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron:/usr/bin/updatedb -f "nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts" -e "/tmp,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/afs,/net" So, I suspect that you may have a larger problem. Is the partition where the locate database is located full? Anyway, hope this helps.

Is the machine in question a laptop or desktop that is usually turned off? Other general tips for figuring out how stuff works: rpm -qif `which locate` (note the backticks) ...will show a description of the package that the 'locate' command belongs to. Likewise, rpm -qlf `which locate` ...will show all the files belonging to the package that the 'locate' command belongs to, which often includes documentation and startup scripts. -----Original Message----- From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Paul A.

Should I be worried that the hardware address for eth1 is displayed incorrectly, or is that just a side-effect of the bond? On a side note, the RX & TX numbers (from /sbin/ifconfig) for eth0 and eth1 seem to be somewhat unbalanced (eth1 receiving 5 times as much as eth0, TX is exactly the same for both).

The samba configuration has some settings to force or translate to a "codepage": which set of 8-bit ascii characters to use. There are ways to force or translate a "codepag" and find a "codepage" you can live with. See `man smb.conf` for details. > > I don't want that my windows users save file with name with those caracters. > For unix filesystems, there is no way to restrict filenames, As far as I know, only 2 characters are realy prohibited: ascii-value 0 (0x00) and character `/`: The first one is used in directories to indicate the end of the directory name (as in C, the end of a string) and the `/` is used as directory separator. All other values (1 to 256) are acceptable. If this is actually usable is an other point....

The skip list reason might be an issue w/ up2date not giving the most useful of error messages... there have been versions that would give that on certain dependency errors. Make sure you have the latest version of up2date and see if that helps. As for the unpack error, that's quite weird. My guess would be a screwed up download of the package, or something particular to your system... something like /tmp running out of space or something. You might try downloading the httpd package from the rhn.redhat.com website and seeing if a manual rpm -Uvh install works. You can also try: up2date httpd from the commandline and see if that works. --Bret From febarco at colredes.com Fri Aug 20 13:09:28 2004 From: febarco at colredes.com (=?iso-8859-1?Q?Fabi=E1n_E._Barco?=) Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 08:09:28 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] update red hat without internet conection Message-ID: Hi, how to update a red hat without Internet conection if I have the red hat packages updates in CDROM or Hard Disk? rpm -Fvh * ? the problem is How to resolve packages dependencies? update --install *.rpm ? thanks fabian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Unfortunately we can't seem to load the st module with modprobe st and mt -f /dev/nst0 status reports no device found. Cat /proc/scsi/scsi shows that the device is recognised but an lsmod doesn't show the st module. I am thinking that the st module is not included under rescue mode. Can anyone confirm this?

I've had the same problems with RHEL 2.1 on Dell PE1750 4D/i. I fixed this by specifying the following line near the top of my ks.cfg file: # Additional driver for Dell PERC 4D/i device scsi megaraid_2002 Note: you may need to replace "megaraid_2002" with "megaraid2" if you are installing a very recent Quarterly update - my RHEL2.1 install is based on U3. After installation, you'll see an entry in /etc/modules.conf like this: alias scsi_hostadapter megaraid_2002 When up2dating your kernel, you will need to replace that line with alias scsi_hostadapter megaraid2 I forgot to do so, and had to boot an older kernel to fix things: - boot old kernel - fix /etc/modules.conf - run mkinitrd for your newly installed kernels - reboot to new kernel > I contacted Dell who told they do not support ES 2.1 and to upgrade to ES 3.0. Quite a strange move by Dell... I get all my support from RedHat, even for my Dell-obtained licenses (maybe because most entitlements were obtained directly from RedHat). HTH. HAND. -- Gxis! Ed.

How did you get past that? Errr - I use a Kickstart server. I use a bootable CD, created from the isolinux directory on the RHEL 2.1 Update 3 media. When booting from that CD, it obtains the ks.cfg from the network. The "device scsi megaraid_2002" line ensures that the kernel module is loaded; this way the 4D/i controller is detected just fine. Can you install the server interactively from the RHEL2.1 U3 media (or, U5, since that seems to be released now)? This is the configuration file: [root at nlvu003 isolinux]# cat isolinux.cfg default ks prompt 0 timeout 0 label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=http://kickstart.gdc1.ce.philips.com/cgi-bin/ks-cfg ksdevice=eth0 initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=7168 This is the script used to create the CD image: #!/bin/sh # Create a bootable CD-ROM image for unattended Kickstart installations chmod u+w isolinux/* /usr/bin/mkisofs -o rhel21u3-ksboot.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T isolinux/ # EOF -- Gxis!

I have found many pages on the net about it but no definitive Mini How To. I just seem to be finding bits of the jigsaw but no whole picture yet and the RH docs seem silent on this subject... I have also found many people asking what I'm about to ask... My logfiles have complaints like this.. STARTTLS=client: file /etc/mail/certs/key.pem unsafe: No such file or directory: 372 Time(s) STARTTLS=client: file /etc/mail/certs/cacert.pem unsafe: No such file or directory: 372 Time(s) STARTTLS=client: file /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem unsafe: No such file or directory: 372 Time(s) STARTTLS=client, error: load verify locs /etc/mail/certs, /etc/mail/certs/cacert.pem failed: 0: 372 Time(s) I found some docs about using the Makefile in /usr/share/ssl/certs but running make sendmail.pem certainly creates a file called sendmail.pem but what is that - a key file? A signed one or what? The directory /etc/mail/certs does not exist on my system. I know I can create it. But it seems strange that sendmail.mc has STARTTLS enabled by default but the /etc/mail/certs directory is missing and the makecerts.sh file referred to in the comments is nowhere to be found! It sounds like STARTTLS configuration is something that just wasn't finished before release. I don't really want to become Western Europe's Guru on TLS. I just would like to get it working. I do have a basic understanding of public/private key security. So does anyone have a pointer to a simple recipe style "how-to" to get this working that I can follow without becoming an cryptology expert.

The easy way is to get a new hard drive as large as or larger than your current drive, partition it, and copy the current drive partitions onto it. Then your current drive becomes a backup (do you have another backup mechanism? a spare hard drive is probably the fastest and cheapest backup method on the market.)

The cost of a new hard disk certainly makes that an attractive choice. However, to get freedom of resizing partitions in a fairly painless way, you could look at setting up LVM (Logical Volume Manager). You will most likely want to get a new disk and set up LVM on that disk and then transfer things over. As with any solution, make sure you know what is necessary for disaster recovery (with LVM, remember your metadata backups should be accessible _outside_ your LVM, whether this is a small non-LVM partition or on backup media).

A pem file should mean an ascii encoding. It's _de_facto_ meaning is typically a concatenation of a private key file and a certificate. I would recommend that you specify in your sendmail.mc file a certificate file and a key file. This means taking the key from the "pem" file and putting in a key file, and the cert from the "pem" file and putting it in a cert file. You'll then want to have your sendmail.mc file have things like this: define(`confCACERT_PATH',`/usr/share/ssl/certs') define(`confCACERT',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt') define(`confSERVER_CERT',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/sendmail.crt') define(`confSERVER_KEY',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/sendmail.key') Do not give anyone your private key. Ever. > The directory /etc/mail/certs does not exist on my system. You might try looking in /usr/share/ssl/certs. I'm coming from mostly 7.3 and 9 machines, so that's my familiarity.

A lot of the funtionality of which you speak is available as part of LVM in Linux. With enough planning, most of this (perhaps even all) could have been painless. The problem that I see is that not enough planning is done when people set up systems. The problem presented is absolutely classic 'how do I simply fix a bad partitioning choice now?' The answer is that you can't and you don't. The question that should have been asked when the machine was set up is 'what is my migration path when I find that I need more space on one of my partitions'. If that question had been answered at the time the machine was set up, then this person wouldn't have been in such a bind now.

A lot of the funtionality of which you speak is available as part of LVM in Linux. With enough planning, most of this (perhaps even all) could have been painless. The problem that I see is that not enough planning is done when people set up systems. The problem presented is absolutely classic 'how do I simply fix a bad partitioning choice now?' The answer is that you can't and you don't. The question that should have been asked when the machine was set up is 'what is my migration path when I find that I need more space on one of my partitions'. If that question had been answered at the time the machine was set up, then this person wouldn't have been in such a bind now.

I have experience with setting up LVM on RHL 9, and RHEL AS3 (and possibly RH7.3, but I wouldn't swear to it). There have been limitation to what the supplied installation tool has provided, but typically a root prompt on virtual console two allows one to circumvent those problems. This does require that you have planned sufficiently ahead of time to know how you want things configured. I think that the root prompt allows you all the choices that you could possibly want. The limitation isn't that of Red Hat. Some of the nuances of LVM on top of RAID weren't handled well in their installation tool. But again, root prompt and armed with knowledge, I was able to set things up by hand as I wanted, and the installer was able to deal with what it was presented at the partitioning step. There's also automating the process using kickstart, which allows pretty much anything you could imagine. That's my usual route. > A question here: How to install a ES or similar system with LVM ? I do not know whether there are any peculiarities of ES, but I would figure the same as any other RHEL install. Their latest graphical installation tools allow LVM over RAID. (If you, or others on the list, really want the steps, then I can provide that, but I figured that your question was a little more toward the rhetorical side, and leading to your next question.) > Do you have to install everything first and then reconfigure the system by > hand? Well, let's look at it this way... If this were possible, then the original poster wouldn't be in the situation that he is in now. You need to plan your configuration before you install (i.e., LVM with your best "partitioning" choice at the time of install, or LVM on top of RAID). Quite simply, I don't think there was any plan for high availibility for the machine in the original post, since there is no RAID or anything. Given that the machine wasn't set up with high availability in mind, I don't think that it reasonable to expect high availibility solutions for migrating away from a simple setup. Paul > "Paul A.

Have a SBC (VME CPU:Intel) w/ RHEL 3 (WS) connected via serial cable to a Win XP box. Ultimately, I'd like to be able to start-up/login/execute commands/shutdown the SBC using the serial connection. Using front panel access is NOT an option when this SBC is in its final application. After having set the correct Remote Access selections (e.g. port #, baud, etc..) in the BIOS of the SBC, I am using Hyperterm on the XP box (with the same settings) to view the POST of the SBC. I have edited grub.conf to add the "serial --unit=x --speed=x ...." line and the "terminal --timeout=xx serial console..." lines. I also appened each kernel line entry in the same file with "console=/dev/ttySx". Lastly, I edited the /etc/securetty file to ensure the com ports ttyS[0-1] are listed. I am then able to view, on both the monitor connected to the SBC as well as the XP box, the RHEL startup messages. However, the last entry within the Hyperterm display on the XP monitor is the Audit start-up [OK]and then a PID is assigned to some process ( ?!?!), leaving the Hyperterm display in what appears to be limbo. On the monitor of the SBC, the default blue splashscreen with the "welcome to xxx" messgae and login dialog box. A shutdown of the SBC will enable be to see the shutdown messages on both monitors, so it would seem that the serial connection remains open and active, but a setting(s) within RHEL needs to be added/edited such that I can USE the OS remotely via serial. Any suggestions? Please be specific, file locations, syntax? Remember, newbie here...... Thanks all ! _________________________________________________________________ Get ready for school!

Are there any plans for the future to announce outages of this type more in advance? If not, why not? In this particular instance, the last-minute RHN outage was only a minor inconvenience that delayed patching a few noncritical systems, but in order to patch some of our systems we need to announce a maintenance window, etc. It'd be essential to know about planned outages at least 24 hours in advance, preferably a week or two (or more) in advance. Especially with the 8pm EST (5pm PST) time, which Additionally, the mechanisms used to announce this were inadequate. The only announcements of this outage were on the day of the outage and either via an overly high volume and frequently off-topic list (rhn-users); via a recently created, unannounced and hidden list (rhn-outage-list); or via the website. So we didn't see the announcement of the outage until the outage was happening. Nobody at our site logs into RHN daily and I would have expected an announcement of an outage to go out from RHN to all RHN users (much like the "Red Hat Linux End of Life" email back in May or any of the Errata alerts do) and not via a discussion list. I only heard about the (intentionally secret? accidentally secret?) rhn-outage-list afterwards. I will say, though, that I like the new behavior of up2date much better than the crashes and tracebacks RHN downtime used to produce. -- Eric Eisenhart Linux/Unix Systems Administrator Office: Schulz 1050A, (707) 664-3099 AIM: ericeisenhart, ICQ: 156218985 Sonoma State University, IT From taw at redhat.com Mon Aug 30 22:39:32 2004 From: taw at redhat.com (Todd Warner) Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 18:39:32 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [rhn-users] Outage announcement for Red Hat Network In-Reply-To: <41339F34.1010404@sonoma.edu> Message-ID: On Mon, 30 Aug 2004, Eric Eisenhart wrote: > Greg DeKoenigsberg wrote: > > Red Hat Network will be unavailable as it undergoes major infrastructure > > upgrades during the following outage windows: > > > > Thursday, August 26th, 8:00pm through 1:00am, U.S. Eastern Time > > Tuesday, August 31st, 8:00pm through midnight, U.S. Eastern Time > > > > Thank you for your patience as we complete these upgrades to improve the > > quality of Red Hat Network service. > > Are there any plans for the future to announce outages of this type more > in advance?

I looked in the channel for RHEL 2.1 and I see they list libsigc++-1.0.3-5.i386.rpm there. I also see later versions listed for Fedora. Are there some problems with libsigc++ with other linux packages in RHEL 3.0 or should another library be used instead of libsigc++? I am evaluating some software which currently uses libsigc++ and I'm trying to figure out if it is okay to install libsigc++. Thanks, Scott
