No tape in device or other problem with tape in device /dev/st0. From tar point of view, the tape is just not writable. Try cleaning the drive.

Two common ones are the Sun Grid Engine (http://gridengine.sunsource.net/) and OpenPBS (http://www.openpbs.org/). Both are fully-blown, mature, and very flexible queuing systems that should do exactly what you want. In fact, they probably will do a lot *more* than what you need, since they support various access controls and accounting features as well (you don't have to use those, if you don't want to though). I've used SGE several times now, and like it quite a bit. There is also a command called "batch" with is part of the atd package; this is probably already installed on your systems. It's fairly limited, but doesn't require any additional software installs. The website http://freshmeat.net/ also has quite a few programs that might work; search for "queue". Finally, if you find yourself spending a lot of time managing clusters, then consider taking a look at the ROCKS (http://rocksclusters.org) or OSCAR projects (http://oscar.sf.net/). ROCKS is an RHEL3 recompile, but with lots of extra queuing software. OSCAR is set of programs that sit on top of an existing distribution. Both include queuing software. > Thanks!

Or you could write your own if you need something very simple maybe use some simple combination like... atd or cron cat script.sh | ssh host /bin/bash # assuming ssh keys are set up for # auto login ...etc. Depends on your complexity needs.

We've found it has problems compiling on newer versions of the Redhat SW, so use the commercial product that will come with technical support. The Sun software is really easy to use and very easy to setup and install and use. We've used such clustering technology to run very technical simulations. The idea being that you create a batch script and submit the batch script to a central server and it takes care of where and when it runs the script (and not you). If you buy multi cpu systems you can specify to run a job on each cpu you have. The amount of RAM and swap space you need depends on how much processing you need to do.

This is a very rough outline: Use the server as a machine to download updates. You need to setup up2date to keep the RPMS when it exits. once you have a repository set up nfs on the server to share out your repostitory dir. On the workstation machines use yum to get the upates from the nfs share. You will need to download yum.

Basically the way a Satellite server works is that it downloads all the updates for what ever machines/OS's you have subscribed to it. Your client machines are subscribed to the Satellite server, not directly to RHN. It's one connection across the net to get all updates vs. all your machines individually getting their own. There is a cost to purchase the Satellite server, as well as an additional cost to subscribe your machines to that server. Cost for the machines depends on what modules you want, update, management, or provisioning. The table in the link above compares each of these as well as comparing Architectures (Hosted, Proxy, or Satellite). Don't forget you will also still have to pay the normal subscription fee for each machine. I *think* that with Satellite server, Red Hat will (maybe for an extra cost) send you CD's or DVD's of your updates as well. This is for highly secure installations with no Internet access. For more and better details call a RH sales rep.

I'm running (according to /etc/redhat-release): Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 4) and I'm using the latest RedHat version of the KDE RPMs (instead of Gnome) as my GUI. Has anyone else experienced these or similar problems with this security update after applying it to their systems? Seems like it wasn't well tested (or somebody's trying to convince us to switch to Firefox).

"SSI - Benjamin Morel" To: "Red Hat Network Users List" cc: Sent by: Subject: [rhn-users] RHEL 3 RPMS rhn-users-bounces @redhat.com 05/04/2005 02:11 PM Please respond to Red Hat Network Users List Hello all, I'm trying to install several softwares that I need to run on my RHEL3 server. Unfortunately, it seems that RHN has a very poor RPM package list : important packages are missing, others are very old ... Where could I find some important packages, from a trusted source, and 100% compatible RHEL3 ? Example RPM packages I need : unrar, unarj, pyzor, clamav, amavisd-new, and many others. (I prefer installing rpm packages over installing from sources) Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've got another question (if you don't mind ;)), I want to keep up2date official source to update my system via rhn, like now. But if I add another source (i.e Dag repository), how can I be sure the two sources won't interfer ? Will up2date ask me which source to use if a package is present on both of them ? Or should I use another software, like yum or apt, to clearly separate the two sources, and avoid ambiguity ? Thanks.

Basically the way a Satellite server works is that it downloads all the updates for what ever machines/OS's you have subscribed to it. Your client machines are subscribed to the Satellite server, not directly to RHN. It's one connection across the net to get all updates vs. all your machines individually getting their own. There is a cost to purchase the Satellite server, as well as an additional cost to subscribe your machines to that server. Cost for the machines depends on what modules you want, update, management, or provisioning. The table in the link above compares each of these as well as comparing Architectures (Hosted, Proxy, or Satellite). Don't forget you will also still have to pay the normal subscription fee for each machine. I *think* that with Satellite server, Red Hat will (maybe for an extra cost) send you CD's or DVD's of your updates as well. This is for highly secure installations with no Internet access. For more and better details call a RH sales rep.

Doerbeck Fidelity Investments Systems Company (UTS) Voice: (508) 787-6915 Mobile: (508) 826-2756 Pager: (800)-SkyTel2 pin#1467205 -----Original Message----- From: Doerbeck, Christoph Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 10:57 AM To: Red Hat Network Users List Subject: [rhn-users] CLI method for changing host RHN channel subscription? Greetings, I currently operate a RHN Satellite server with 3 proxies. I want to automate a process to reactivate hosts (essentially registering them to alternate base+child channels) without creating a new/duplicate host RHN profile. Example: current host is registered to Custom-AS-3-v1 channel now I want it registered to Custom-AS-3-v2 channel Is there a command line method for changing a hosts channel subscriptions? Does that make sense? Christoph -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since there is AS 2.1, 3 and 4 and each one has a different version of python installed. AS 2.1 = Python 1.5.2 AS 3 = Python 2.2.3 AS 4 = Python 2.3.4 Or you somehow managed to uninstall the rpm-python package which is installed by default on all systems. If you are upgraded/changed python, make the original version the system default again. If you removed rpm-python package from the system, reinstall it again, such as copy it from the install CDs.

Perhaps it is on your system and you have not correctly added it to your library path. First, try this # updatedb && locate libjvm.so If this does not point you to the location of the libjvm.so file, then you need to get the Java JRE from http://java.sun.com If it does find libjvm.so, you can do one of two things, the latter being recommended: 1) Before running f90genm or rwbuilder, execute the following command: # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/libjvm.so where PATH_TO_JVM is the path you got from the 'locate' command above 2) (Preferred method) For a permanent fix, add the line to the file /etc/ld.so.conf and run /sbin/ldconfig as root, where PATH_TO_JVM is the same path from the above method. As for your first problem, I've never been exposed to oracle so I could not help you with that.

I need patch for the below mentioned vulnerability. I am not able to find in rhn website as this security advisory is out dated. I feel like, there should be kernel updates available for this vulnerability. A vulnerability exists in the 'load_elf_library ()' function in 'binfmt_elf.c' because memory segments are not properly processed, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code with root privileges. I am looking forward for your comments/suggestions for the above. Thanks, Ravi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since there is AS 2.1, 3 and 4 and each one has a different version of python installed. AS 2.1 = Python 1.5.2 AS 3 = Python 2.2.3 AS 4 = Python 2.3.4 Or you somehow managed to uninstall the rpm-python package which is installed by default on all systems. If you are upgraded/changed python, make the original version the system default again. If you removed rpm-python package from the system, reinstall it again, such as copy it from the install CDs.

If the recommendation that is listed below doesn't work, it may be because your system that is running sendmail doesn't know where to do the lookups. There are 2 possibilities for why this would be a problem. One, your /etc/resolv.conf on the sendmail machine doesn't point to a name server so that your host name is resolved. If you have a name server listed, the other reason why your sendmail server isn't finding the host is because you aren't looking at a name server to resolve host names in your nsswitch.conf file. Between what Clinton mentioned & what I mentioned, you should be able to resolve your issue. Happy trails! Phil Lefort Clinton Fernandes wrote: Here's my $0.02... What is your hostname?

If the "host" command produces errors, you need to read them carefully to deduce what they are telling you. If your machine cannot resolve domain.com, then I guarantee that sendmail also cannot (hence your error message). Next, try host again, but this time try asking for a common name for the mail exchanger: [root at mymachine ~]# host -a mail.domain.com This can be interesting as it will return the result if such an entry is included in the nameserver's DNS records. It's not uncommon for this to be either an "A" record or a "CNAME" record, but let's try the next command: [root at mymachine ~]# nslookup > If all goes well, you will see a ">" prompt on a blank line. If, however, a problem occurs, you will get a few error messages. If you do at this point, then you can usually be assured that sendmail won't work. The typical problem the causes nslookup to issue errors at start up revolve around either the lack of a nameserver in your resolv.conf file (be sure you have one, a VALID one!), or, even more insiduous, the nameserver listed in your resolv.conf file does not have a fully correct and proper forward and back DNS listing... Here's the deal, if the primary nameserver that your machine is trying to use does not resolve forwards and backwards, then nslookup (and sendmail) will have problems. What do I mean? You need to be SURE that the nameserver has records that will resolve both: 192.168.0.1 ===> ns.domain.com *** AND *** ns.domain.com ====> 192.168.0.1 If you don't have both the forward and reverse records in the DNS and CORRECT, then nslookup will generate error messages (although it may still run and use your nameserver, it spits out the errors to warn you). Take these errors seriously! Fix the DNS records so that nslookup starts without any warnings. Now try: [root at mymachine ~]# nslookup > domain.com It should return a result such as: [root at mymachine ~]# nslookup > domain.com Server: 192.168.0.1 Address: 192.168.0.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: domain.com Address: xx.xx.xxx.xxx Now try this: > set type=mx > domain.com Server: 192.168.0.1 Address: 192.168.0.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: domain.com mail exchanger = 0 domain.com. Authoritative answers can be found from: domain.com nameserver = ns2.nameserver.com. domain.com nameserver = ns1.nameserver.com. domain.com internet address = xx.xx.xxx.xxx This is a GOOD result, it shows that it was ABLE to find a VALID mail exchanger ("MX") for the requested domain from the nameserver you asked. The reason it shows "non-authoritative" is that your nameserver (in this case, 192.168.0.1) is NOT the authoritative nameserver for domain.com, the result above shows that you need to ask either ns1.nameserver.com or ns2.nameserver.com for the authoritative answers. This is because those are the master nameservers for our hypothetical domain.com. If you tell nslookup to switch to use either of the authoritative nameservers: >server ns1.nameserver.com Then you'll get a result like this: Default server: ns1.nameserver.com Address: 10.0.1.100#53 > Now ask again: > domain.com Server: ns1.nameserver.com Address: 10.0.1.100#53 domain.com mail exchanger = 0 domain.com. > This result shows that the MX record does exist and is valid on domain.com and, therefore, your sendmail will be able to find and resolve the MX record on the domain you are trying to send to. If there is not an mx record on that domain, and your server cannot resolve that domain correctly, then you very well will experience problems in any attempt to send mail to it. Note that NONE of these problems require you to do a thing to sendmail! I highly recommend not messing with sendmail settings until AFTER you do the above series of investigations/tests. If your server cannot properly resolve the DNS records, then you can be fairly sure that sendmail won't work. If sendmail continues to fail AFTER all of the above tests are ironed out and every DNS response is correct, THEN you need to repost your problem. I'm sorry for the very long reply, but I felt adding "screenshots" and a full description would be good for the entire community. I've worked in the trenches of tech support for a major internet hosting company and learned that DNS is easily one of the biggest gotchas on the internet. I got called in once in an emergency with a major website (over 1 mill hits per day) that wasn't working properly; their tech guys had struggled for 2 days on the problem, I fixed it in 10 minutes with the series of steps shown above, they had a bad DNS entry...

Absolutely hellish. I posted a similar question detailing some of the problems on this list some time ago ... no response. We manage around 800 systems now and it is very painful.

Big mistake. A lot of things stopped working correctly. I managed to fix most everything except the sound.

However, I still don't hear the test sound or sound from CD's even when the volume is all the way up. When I do an insmod --probe i810_audio, it returns: Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.4.EL/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o insmod: a module named i810_audio already exists It used to work fine under the old kernel.

The process goes smoothly up to point that I run up2date and download and install all the packages. After this point, the logon screen has no written text and nothing is displayed when you type a username and password. However, you can still log in by typing in the username and password and once you do, the display is perfectly normal. The initial logon screen after the install looks normal. The error does not occur until after I run up2date and download all the rpm packages. Thank you in advance for any solutions to my problem.

Does /var/log/messages say anything? I'm not too familiar with X so I am of limited use, so you'll have to forgive my rather haphazard suggestions. With a graphical login, you're in runlevel 5. There may be something wrong with your X set-up. Examine it before you try a fresh install, since a fresh install may not correct the problem and only cost you valuable time. If you decide to do a fresh install, I would recommend formatting all your partitions to make sure that any "bad" config files do not remain.

Message-ID: <20050518085935.78814.qmail@web26210.mail.ukl.yahoo.com> Hy all, we experienced a bad bug running two new brand system of ours with Redhat AS v.3 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp. Three months ago we bought a Storage Area Network EMC Clariion CX300 with HBA Emulex and a server HP Proliant 580 connected. We created a LUN RAID5, then a volume group and a logical volume where formatted an EXT3 file system 100 GB wide. Well, when we start to write on an empty filesystem we obtain good performance until we reach about 80% of total capacity. After that, performarmances dramatically degrade (server also fails to respond). We experienced the same problem on the other new system (HP proliant DL580, HBA QLogic 2340 and Clariion EMC CX700) which is reported as totally compliant in the EMC support Matrix document. It is a very critical iussue. Of course we contacted RedHat and EMC but they unfortunately say all the same thing: it's not my fault! Is there any of you who faced this problem ? Any hint would be very very appreciated. Best regards. ___________________________________ Nuovo Yahoo! Messenger: E' molto pi? divertente: Audibles, Avatar, Webcam, Giochi, Rubrica?

Under 'top', there is something called "Irix mode" (presumably because Irix has this behavior). This mode allows for "100%" on all CPUs, so your "total CPU usage" can exceed 100%, up to the number of CPUs you have. > If a process is using 25% in a 4 processor machine, that means that the > process is using 100% of one processor.

I'm not sure if it is possible to change how sar behaves. -- Jesse Becker GPG-fingerprint: BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have a twelve node cluster with all nodes running RH WS3 2.4.21-15.EL (x86_64). I am trying to use up2date to update these machines, but I am running into these maddening dependency issues: rpm-libs 4.2.3-21_nonptl requires libelf.so.1 rpm-libs 4.2.3-21_nonptl requires libelf.so.1(ELFUTILS_1.0) This command: up2date --nox --whatprovides=libelf.so.1 Returns nothing. In any case I know that this file is exists under /usr/lib64. I could of course force or ignore these packages, but the whole point of buying redhat is so you can use tools like up2date to ease package management. It is infuriating. And before it is asked, I flushed the db cache ( rm /var/lib/rpm/__db* ) and rebuilt the rpm db( rpm --rebuilddb ) and neither one helped. I don't want to sound hostile, but this type of problem, along with the incredibly slow package release pattern (like still using gcc 2.x) makes projects like debian seem like the bleeding edge.

In your case, it seems that top is reporting the total %CPU usage. So... If a process is using 25% in a 4 processor machine, that means that the process is using 100% of one processor. A single process cannot use more than one processor at a time. This is also why the process on your Sun v20z with 2 processors tops out at 50% CPU usage, meaning it is using 100% of one processor.

Hy all, we experienced a bad bug running two new brand system of ours with Redhat AS v.3 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp. Three months ago we bought a Storage Area Network EMC Clariion CX300 with HBA Emulex and a server HP Proliant 580 connected. We created a LUN RAID5, then a volume group and a logical volume where formatted an EXT3 file system 100 GB wide. Well, when we start to write on an empty filesystem we obtain good performance until we reach about 80% of total capacity. After that, performarmances dramatically degrade (server also fails to respond). We experienced the same problem on the other new system (HP proliant DL580, HBA QLogic 2340 and Clariion EMC CX700) which is reported as totally compliant in the EMC support Matrix document. It is a very critical iussue. Of course we contacted RedHat and EMC but they unfortunately say all the same thing: it's not my fault! Is there any of you who faced this problem ? Any hint would be very very appreciated. Best regards. ___________________________________ Nuovo Yahoo! Messenger: E' molto pi? divertente: Audibles, Avatar, Webcam, Giochi, Rubrica...

The system runs Redhat 9 at the moment. I now want to install the Enterprise version of Redhat, ES, release 4. To that end I have downloaded the ISO images and put them in separate directories on the HD, /mnt/cd1, /mnt/cd2, /mnt/cd3, /mnt/cd4. I have checksummed the ISO images. I have decided that I will install Linux 4 over the present version, and have backup up the system. I still have to create an installation CDROM, so I turn to section 2.4.2 of the manual and followed the instructions there and issued the necessary commands to create the CD. Next I burned the resulting "file.iso" to a CD-ROM. I then changed the BIOS settings in order to boot from CDROM. Finally I reboot the system with the CD in place and wait for the boot prompt to appear. But I wait in vain, because the boot prompt does not appear, and the system is instead booting the old version Red Hat 9. Maybe the CDROM was corrupt. So I burned another one. However the same result. Please some advice. How do I now proceed ? Grtz, Roel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have another CD-ROM over here, that contains a simplified Linux version(called "knoppix"). And this thing in fact boots. I have now burned another CD-ROM containing the file "boot.iso" from the images directory of Red Hat Linux 4 #1, but this CD also does not do the booting business. Maybe I get lost when burning the CD-ROM ? How did I burn the CD-ROM ? Well, I started up Red Hat 9 and I manually mounted the first RED HAT ISO image, which is on my hard drive already, to mnt/cd1, using "mount -o loop -t iso9660 / /mnt/cd1 " Then I copied the file /mnt/cd1/images/boot.iso and pasted it into the CD creator which I found on the menu "root's home-->go" . Next I burned the CD. I don't seem to see where I could have been misled ?

Here's a tricky one for ya! We've got a RHN proxy server, through which we communicate with a RHN satellite server. Now the proxy is working great.

This error was issued: "There was a rpm unpack error installing the package: gnome-applets-2.2.2-2.1E." Normally one would restart the process, assuming that it would pick up where it left off. RPM is supposed to be quite robust correct? Well, up2date -u (as well as up2date -l) claims that the system is up to date but something like 30 packages where not installed--they where d/led however as they where confirmed in /var/spool/up2date. If we log onto the satellite server the system is claimed to be up2date there as well. The output of "rpm -qa | nl" shows 507 packages, the same as the satellite server. The interesting thing is that if we "grep" the output of "rpm -qa" with a package name that was not installed before the fatal rpm unpack error, not even the old package is shown as being installed! We wiped out /var/spool/up2date in an effort to "trick" up2date into downloading and installing the packages again but we now know that up2date does not even look there for confirmation of what it has downloaded.

But crontab scheduler does not read the new increased value for the file descriptors and always errors out throwing - "too many open files" error. We tried to increase the value in the script that is scheduled using the cron job, but it looks like cron does not pick the new value even if it is set in the script. Are you aware of any global setting for the cron scheduler which will force it to have more open file descriptors? Note that when the script is ran from the command line apart from the cron scheduler it works fine and does not throw out errors stating "too many open files". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Have you rebooted since these settings were put in place. Or at least shut cron down and restarted? Have you tried creating a cron to simply write the ulimits to a output file for testing? My last hints might be: /etc/pam.d/login needs a "required pam_limits.so" (I usually place in fron of pam_console line) and /etc/sshd/sshd_config needs "UsePrivilegeSpearation no" set But I'm not sure how this would affect crond...

For the script to run, we had to increase the number of open file descriptors using "ulimit -n" to 63000 from 1024. We increased the file descriptor value in /etc/security/limits.conf. But crontab scheduler does not read the new increased value for the file descriptors and always errors out throwing - "too many open files" error. We tried to increase the value in the script that is scheduled using the cron job, but it looks like cron does not pick the new value even if it is set in the script. Are you aware of any global setting for the cron scheduler which will force it to have more open file descriptors? Note that when the script is ran from the command line apart from the cron scheduler it works fine and does not throw out errors stating "too many open files". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our application would be generating lots and lots of data regularly. This data is written onto the SAN storage. Now, I would like to backup this data to usb removable disks, say of size 100GB. Since the source directory can be larger than removable disk size I have to split it into multiple disks. Is there an rsync like application that recognizes that removabledisk1 is full and uses removablediskfull2 automatically but yet considers the data on removabledisk1 when synchronizing? Example: rsync -a source dest1 source=102GB dest=100GB rsync cannot sync source completely to dest1. So it uses dest2. The backup application must then copy the files that weren't copied to dest1 onto dest2. If a file on dest1 has been updated it must either be updated on dest1 or if there is not enough space it should be deleted on dest1 and created on dest2. In the end: files on source == files on dest1 + files on dest2 We cannot use raid or lvm to solve this. Any other ideas? Thanks for your help!

I used the qlogic "scli" command that enables all the luns (I'm not sure what it does at OS level), but after I enabled with scli, I did a modprobe -r and then a modprobe qla2300 and then I could mount the luns. However, it would loose the config on a reboot. So, I did the above and created a new initrd: [root at pecan qlogic]# cat /etc/modules.conf alias eth0 tulip alias eth1 e1000 alias eth2 e1000 alias scsi_hostadapter qla2300 alias scsi_hostadapter qla2300_conf alias usb-controller usb-uhci alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : with this command: mkinitrd initrd-2.4.21-32.EL.qlogic.img 2.4.21-32.EL and booted this entry of grub: title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.4.21-32.EL.qlogic) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-32.EL ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.21-32.EL.qlogic.img As is I get: [root at pecan qlogic]# mount /dev/sda1 /db01 mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device ... Looks like you are right, I don't have to do the scli thing, I just modprobe and the devices are ready: [root at pecan qlogic]# modprobe -r qla2300 [root at pecan qlogic]# modprobe qla2300 [root at pecan qlogic]# mount /dev/sda1 /db01 Not sure what you mean about "mount the initrd image using option -oloop." Is that on the boot loader command line? Example, please. I wanted to check to see if I was getting the right ram disk, but didn't know how.

Hi Jesse!!! Thanks for replying to my post! I agree that rsync doesn't have functionality that meet my requirements. I found --compare-dest option of rsync helpful for my prolem In a nutshell a shell script has to be developed that will do the following [more checks have to be included: like check free space etc] - if only dest1 is used just do simple rsync - if dest2 is also used then do update existing files on dest1 + rsync new files to dest2 with the help of --compare-dest parameter. While(true) if(!usedest2) - rsync source dest1 - if command not successful usedest2=true end if else -rsync --update --existing source dest1 [Assumption.. dest1 has enough free space to update existing files.. find a way to reserve some disk space] rsync --compare-dest=full/path/dest1 source dest2 end if end while; I'm interested in hearing how others are solving similar problem and what others tools might help in my case!!!

We want to provide a single account that can be used to access the shares from both windows and linux. So we are running samba and NIS on NFS server. Now, we want to synchronize the password changes from NIS into samba. For changes from samba to NIS we set "unix password sync" to yes. When a user changes NIS password from NIS client machine how do I get this password set for Samba account too? Thanks for your help!

I am using this card to connect to my external storage array. During system startup, the Card BIOS has no problem detecting the card and the external storage devices. However when I boot into the OS, and do a fdisk -l, my external storage devices cannot be detected.

The box hangs when loading the aic7xxx driver. The aic7xxx_old driver does not appear to work for that controller, but the aacraid driver works great. One thing to note is that we're not fully updated on firmware so it's possible that newer firmware might fix the problem with the aic7xxx driver. If anyone else has experienced this, please drop me an e-mail. 1) When installing, tell it not to detect hardware and pick aacraid when the installers prompts for a controller driver. 2) After the install, boot into rescue mode. (Might actually be able to make the following changes before rebooting. Haven't tried that yet) 3) Mount your filesystems somewhere (I used /mnt/tmp) 4) chroot /mnt/tmp 5) edit /etc/modprobe.conf. Change aic7xxx to aacraid 6) edit /etc/hotplug/blacklist. Add aic7xxx as a single line in that file. 7) run mkinitrd to build a new initrd 8) Reboot and throw a party :) That's it, if I'm remembering the install correctly.

This computer has been rebuild recently and is currently running 2.4.21-27.0.4.ELsmp. Last weekend it stopped responding and I can not find the reason for the failure. We had to reboot the server to regain the access to it. This server is used for web application deployed on tomcat. The application is using Lucene for documents search, and the document indexing threat was running when the crash occurred. The server had a problem again during the week. I was told that after login-in using ssh user got an error about non existing link in /opt directory, something about inode being invalid. The mentioned link has never been created on this machine. Also on Wednesday when I tried to replace a file in the application after running cp command I got a message that file I am trying to create doesn?t exist. I ?touch file_name? to create the file in that directory, and again I got a message that file I am creating doesn?t exist. (same when I tried to create this file using vim) I had to delete that directory and move new copy of the directory together with the file. (I have tried both the owner of the directory and root account; the permissions can not be a problem) I am not sure how to deal with this. Would this be a problem with the faulty installation or a hardware failure? How can I find out what has caused the crash? Or how should I proceed to troubleshoot this?

Sounds like maybe the filesystem is mounted read-only or it is full... Also, try tailing /var/log/messages while you touch a file in that directory and googling any error messages that you get as a result of that touch.

The system had hanged three times during the last two weeks, and I can not locate any error messages, also there are no error messages during the boot up. When the system hangs it does respond to ping commands, which means there is still some processing happening, but you can not log in, and it does not serve web pages.

This computer has been rebuild recently and is currently running 2.4.21-27.0.4.ELsmp. Last weekend it stopped responding and I can not find the reason for the failure. We had to reboot the server to regain the access to it. This server is used for web application deployed on tomcat. The application is using Lucene for documents search, and the document indexing threat was running when the crash occurred. The server had a problem again during the week. I was told that after login-in using ssh user got an error about non existing link in /opt directory, something about inode being invalid. The mentioned link has never been created on this machine. Also on Wednesday when I tried to replace a file in the application after running cp command I got a message that file I am trying to create doesn?t exist. I ?touch file_name? to create the file in that directory, and again I got a message that file I am creating doesn?t exist. (same when I tried to create this file using vim) I had to delete that directory and move new copy of the directory together with the file. (I have tried both the owner of the directory and root account; the permissions can not be a problem) I am not sure how to deal with this. Would this be a problem with the faulty installation or a hardware failure? How can I find out what has caused the crash? Or how should I proceed to troubleshoot this?

I can't say anything more than that though. A thought just came to mind. When a file is in a dependancy, rpm will usually suggest that package as a solution. For example: ------------------------------ [root at itchy ~]# rpm -ivh ~clint/tmp/postgresql-odbc-7.3-8.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libodbcinst.so.1 is needed by postgresql-odbc-7.3-8.i386 postgresql-libs >= 7.3 is needed by postgresql-odbc-7.3-8.i386 Suggested resolutions: postgresql-libs-7.4.6-1.RHEL4.2.i386.rpm unixODBC-2.2.9-1.i386.rpm [root at itchy ~]# ------------------------------ If the error you are receiving is not similar to this, then I have two suggestions: 1) the file(s) you needed are not provided by redhat (for some reason). Try getting them from whoever makes them. 2) you do have the needed file(s) but they are corrupt/have a broken link/something else. Try re-installing the package. Good luck! -- my tail is dun.

JVM parameters used are TOMCAT_OPTS="-Xms1640m -Xmx2048m" When the server is rebooted, output of free shows about 500M used memory, when tomcat is started up it only takes/commits small amount of memory. After a few days however the free output is as above. I don't know where the rest of the memory is allocated, I am not sure how to trace what is using it. If you can not answer my questions can you tell me where can I find resources that would help me to troubleshoot my problems?

I was updating an Opteron box and I received an error like: "unresolvable chain of dependencies: rpm-libs 4.2.3-21 requires libelf.so.1 (or something like that - it has rolled off of the screen already). I had a problem similar to this once before so this time I kept track of the commands that I entered. First I removed the /var/lib/rpm/__db* files (I don't know that this step helped because I got the same unresolvable dependency error when I tried to run update): # rm /var/lib/rpm/__db Next I downloaded the rpm packages and moved them to a local directory: # up2date -d rpm-libs # mv /var/spool/up2date/*.rpm /root/Downloads Then I installed the rpm packages and updated my RHN profile: # rpm -Uvh rpm*.rpm # up2date -p The I updated the rest of the packages: # up2date -u --nox Alfred Hovdestad University of Saskatchewan Johan Holst Nielsen - Print2People ApS wrote: > Hi, > > I have a problem upgrading from > > rpm version 4.2.2-0.14 to version 4.2.3-21_nonptl > > It tells me that it requires libelf.so.1 (ELFUTILS_1.0). > > The only elfutils package I can find are elfutils-0.94-1 - and it is > already installed :( > > Don't know what I can get over this problem?

In-Reply-To: <1117567591.5305.22.camel@__wrath__.localdomain> Message-ID: I joined this list thinking I would find discussion of the RedHat Network. Silly me - it appears that it's actually for general discussion among folks who just happen to use RHN, today's thread on up2date notwithstanding. So, can anyone point me towards a list that discusses RHN itself, including problems with RHN availability, up2date, etc, without any general Linux traffic?
