If I update my machines manually everything works fine until next time a new version of "up2date" is released. Another strange thing is, that up2date and related packages do not appear on my rhn.redhat.com administration page, while the up2date program on my machines tells me that these packages need to be upgraded.

Now getting over 10Mb/s. Much more fun moving ISOs around now :) FWIW I always set the switch port 100FD and then force the host to same. For some reason when I set this host to 100 FD with ethtool, I would loose connectivity and when I set it back to HD I got connectivity. (Remember, the switch port is manually set to 100 FD) I set the switch port to auto and set the nic to auto, I get 100FD. Go figure. The switch is a Cisco Catalyst 3550 and the nic is a built in Marvel Yukon. Uh, oh, That just jogged my memory that there were some problems with the Yukon driver under Fedora, maybe I am running into the same thing here. Will check and see.

Possibly loosing information that are stored as part of the system profile ? There should be a way to 'unlock' this. And maybe in case this abuse has happened frequently some way to lock it permanently like is the case now.

When you schedule the errata, rhn_check on the client logs in to RHN and will look at the local config files for skipped packages, see that the scheduled event for a specific errata cannot be installed and send a failure notification and not proceed.

I set up an account in Red Hat Network some time ago. Since then we've bought quite a few copies of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ES with support. I can add systems to my account in RHN but none of the systems have Software Channel Entitlements so I can't do anything useful with them. I think we should have Software Channel Entitlements because of the support that we purchased. How do I translate all the copies of Red Hat with support that we bought into Software Channel Entitlements within Red Hat Network?

The reason was because the Entitlements we were entitled too were not connected with our Account ID. In your case, I imagine that the current RHN network account you're using isn't connected properly with the entitlements you purchased. I called RedHat's toll free number, and the were able to locate the other accounts and merge that data into the current account -- I imagine that they can do the same for you, hopefully.

Does this fit with what you've observed? Yes I think that makes sense but I don't think it is what I'm observing at all. Currently among the top 5 I see four systems with 2 outstanding updates and one system with a single outstanding update. Needless to say, I have hundreds of systems in far worse shape on paper. I can see value in this even though I don't think it is currently working here as it was intended to work. I think it might be really nice if we could tweak some settings to fine tune the criteria used to get on the list in the future.

Those systems likely don't exist in reality, or are being held a rev back for some reason, etc. This is why I think the ability to help focus the criteria at the organization level would be really cool. I'd like to ignore systems with X or more outstanding errata, systems that haven't checked in for more than Y days, etc. Just food for thought.

Well, I hesitate in adding extra options because of the general principle that the more options a UI has, the more complicated it becomes. I'm trying to think of a way this widget could be useful to the greatest number of people without requiring manual tweaking. IMHO, ideally, it would provide you with useful info out of the box. In your example with 5 systems with 300+ outstanding errata... the reasons you'd not want them to appear in this list: * They're 'dead' system profiles (systems that aren't actively checking into RHN and may be disconnected or duplicate profiles) and are just noise in the list. * You're holding a system back at a particular U-release so you want it to not receive those updates on purpose. I can see a rationale for excluding systems that haven't checked-in in say 30 days from the list by default. There is 'not checking in systems list' widget on Your RHN specifically to address these systems so there's no need to address them yet again in the most critical systems widget. (Either way, if you haven't done anything with the system in 30 days, its critical state is obviously not critical to you. :) ) So this is an easy change that would solve the first source of 'false' info in the list above. For the release-locking use case - an example scenario is that you've seen an errata notice, determined the errata was not critical and you'd rather not apply it to systems, and you deliberately do not install it. But it still shows up as being an available update, creating noise in the most critical systems widget. The way that I suggest avoiding this scenario is treating the RH-provided RHEL software channels as your 'upstream,' and 'accept' or 'reject' the errata by copying it or not copying it into your own software channels. (This is also how I recommend locking a system to a particular U-release.) If your systems are registered to your custom software channels and you follow this update evaluation process, then you shouldn't end up in the situation where an update you don't want applied is listed as being available for the system. Does this make sense? Are these suggestions reasonable? Beyond those two issues creating inaccuracies, would you still find it useful to tweak the widget's settings?

This makes sense too but I don't think it could be implemented where I work. It seems to depend on a satellite for the base channel shifting, I don't see how to do anything like this in our currently hosted environment. With widely distributed management of the groups of systems that we have I suspect we will find managing channels for everyone on a satellite unwieldy as well. They would never agree on one way of rolling out updates from Red Hat. > Does this make sense? Are these suggestions reasonable?

I am enthusiastic about the potential for this feature to help organizations pick off things that may have fallen into disrepair without being noticed. After hearing how it was supposed to work I fear that in my organization it might lose its value by fixing on wildy out of date or back-leveled systems of which there are more than 5 typically. Perhaps that won't happen. I will watch and see how this feature develops. Thanks for taking the time to share some of the thinking behind this new feature with us.

But this has stopped working in recent months. I have not found out what the problem is, any help is welcome, because I trying to sort this out for over a week now, and no luck. up2date and rpm are both the latest versions and only kernel* is in my up2date skip-list. up2date works well. (So I can aways put up2date-nox -u in my crontab if all fails.) But even as all systems have in their RHN profile the ?auto errata update? option set to ?yes?, they will not schedule updates automatically, so rhn_check will not download and install the errata. The only thing that gets a errata update scheduled is either: 1)click in RHN on the ?update now? button on each the system page, or 2)edit the profile of each system and first turn the auto updates off, save,edit again and turn auto updates on, save, then the available updates are scheduled. But if RedHat have an errata the next week, it is not scheduling it , and I'm stuck again. I have a screen shot posted in the bugzilla nr 140138 that shows the RHN system page with the update waiting to applied and the auto errata update=yes. Since I have an education RedHat license, getting help from RedHat by phone or email is not possible, so I hope one of you can help out or point me in the right direction. I hope this is something simple that I have changed by accident, but my rhn and up2date config files all look ok.

Very frustrating indeed. That is why I don't use this feature on most of my systems and certainly not on any servers. I would be hesitant to run up2date -u from cron too on a server for the same reason. I suspect most of the systems here with auto errata update turned on are people's desktops or machines in lab environments. These aren't centrally controlled in our case so there isn't much I can do except get the word out. In many cases though your suggestion is good for a workaround and maybe even to just catch problems with this feature when it is used. The spreading of the load provided by using auto errata update (not having large numbers of machines smacking your server at the same instant) is still appealing to me though. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

The first is a proxy service which authenticates to the actual RHN, but keeps a local cache via squid. The second is a satellite server in which you obtain the complete channels then your other machines authenticate off of it. In both cases you can have locally housed rpm packages. The satellite service is a a nice way to have machines behind a firewall and only having to connect one machine to the DMZ (Internet) and RHN. -- Donnie Jos?

There is a third option. I've written a tool Yam that has RHN support. It uses up2date to download updates and provides them in a local repository for other systems. You can find the tool at: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/ You can then use apt or yum (or up2date) to update your servers from this local repository.

What are your hard drives capable of sustaining? Eg: on your Linux box, try: # test write of 4GB to your disc time dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/file/name bs=1048576 count=4096 # test read speed from disc time cat very-big-file >/dev/null That eliminates the network from the picture - see just how faster you can actually read the data (and write - the times won't be quite the same I expect). Devise a similar test for the Windows box. Choose files you've not accessed previously to avoid the system's buffer pool fooling you. I expect hard drives (in the absense of special setup) to only yield 20 or 30MBps; that may explain your results. The network may be just fine.

I'm currently using RHEL3 with ext3 filesystems. On boot, I am getting the message 'Filesystem has unsupported feature(s)' when the os tries to check the filesystems. The filesystems that it is having trouble with are on 2 hard drives separate from the root fs. I'm using e2fsprogs-1.32-15.3, which appears to be the latest version for rhel-3. I have read about this error and it seems that the general status of the error is that the filesystems were created with a different os. I'm pretty sure I created these filesystems with rhel3, but if I did not, then the only other that they could have been created with is Fedora Core 4. I can still mount the filesystems, so I just have to remove the entries from fstab and boot and mount them when the systems start, but I'd rather get to the bottom of this. So... my questions are: 1. Is there a way to check when the fs was created and with what? 2. Is there a way to update the fs so that it is compatible with e2fsprogs -- obviously, without creating it. I appreciate any help.

Reason being, I have a similar setup with about the same numbers. The main differences are that a) I'm using RHEL rather than Fedora b) going through an el-cheapo Linksys 5-port GbE switch rather than a straight wire, and c) my GbE NIC's are integrated into onboard Via chipsets rather than add-in cards.

If you have about 20% utilisation with a Gbit nic, I'd say you are doing verry nice. With the move to gigabit networking, the nic is no longer the bottleneck. If you move data from disk on one machine or to disk on an other, the disk-controllers, disk interfaces or even the actual disks are most likely the bottlenecks. Then, the disk does not need to be the bottleneck. Think about the speed of internal busses and for which they are used while you are dumping data...

Keep in mind that by default, XP Pro reserves quite a bit of bandwidth for QoS. There are registry tweaks out there that disable or remove QoS and give you that bandwidth back. Also if you're transferring between two _desktops_ the performance will probably be slow. While both os's will cache to ram and transfer from that cache, eventually you see a bottleneck appear when the cache is emptied and the hard drive becomes the limitation. The most accurate and useful way to measure something like this is by transferring to and from a SAN or other attached, high performance storage. We have an Intransa unit populated with 10 SATA drives in a raid 10 array, and we can get wire speeds on it via gigabit from nearly any machine in the building. However, transferring from workstation to workstation we see the same bottlenecking that you do.

I've also brought up this concern with the mailing list owners. I sent a note to the list owners *last* August asking about this. I received a nice note that they wanted to look into how to handle it - possibly for fear of offending anyone. A year later, the list is still 90% off-topic. I think that they really need to turn this into a moderated list until it can be brought under control. I already don't have time to monitor the lists that I subscribe to, and I find that this one is slowly becoming useless for it's intended purpose. Sorry to add to the noise, but hopefully RedHat will finally address this issue. jef From michaelc at ALLSTATEFLORAL.COM Mon Aug 21 17:41:56 2006 From: michaelc at ALLSTATEFLORAL.COM (Michael Chien) Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2006 10:41:56 -0700 Subject: [rhn-users] Set terminal to wyse60 In-Reply-To: <20060812160004.1EC4973472@hormel.redhat.com> Message-ID: <3560DDEA5E7D1F4A8002205F692AA74B03AEEF27@allmail.allstatefloral.com> Hi all, How do I go about setting my Linux server to only use terminal wyse60?

How does this sound?: "Discussions about using Red Hat Network to apply updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, including discussion about particular Red Hat Enterprise Linux updates."

I think it's a good start, but despite all good intentions to make the description as accurate as possible, I think that you might need to actually include what the list *isn't* for. Perhaps also include pointers to the other lists, so that those folks that do need help can get better results from the proper community of users. jef From dmhunter at charter.net Tue Aug 22 01:16:36 2006 From: dmhunter at charter.net (Dan Hunter) Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2006 20:16:36 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] Gigabit transfer speeds References: <003e01c6c347$6fa73040$64011811@mutant><44E9AA22.2060005@gmail.com> <52d4eaab0608211137yacb69ffida1f4d6cc232f01c@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <002001c6c588$9d0d5a80$64011811@mutant> I have already set the packet size as large as the windows driver allow - MTU = 7 Kb But coping from a very high speed disk, or RAM drive is certainly a good question.

If you have about 20% utilisation with a Gbit nic, I'd say you are doing verry nice. With the move to gigabit networking, the nic is no longer the bottleneck. If you move data from disk on one machine or to disk on an other, the disk-controllers, disk interfaces or even the actual disks are most likely the bottlenecks.

If I try bastille -c, I get: ERROR: Could not load the 'Curses.pm' interface module. This may be due to an invalid $DISPLAY setting, or the module not being visible to Perl. If I try bastille -x, I get: WARNING: /usr/bin/perl cannot find Perl module Tk. The above module(s) is/are required to correctly display the Bastille User Interface. If you are unable to find a pre-compiled module for your OS, they can be found at: http://www.cpan.org/modules/01modules.index.html If you installed the modules in another installation of perl besides the one listed in the error message, you may override Bastille's search path by setting the $CORRECT_PERL_PATH environment variable to the directory that the desired perl binary is located in. Both environment variables are null. I have tried to locate Tk from the above link, the Bastille links (nothing for 390) and CPAN, with no luck. Anyone have an idea.

I disabled selinux and was able to mount. What is the correct way to export and mount a filesystem using selinux? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Directories in there tend to stay there with their contents. It is in one of the `rc` files (see /etc/init.d) and it should be called relative early in the boot process. However, it should not be passed when booting to single-user mode: thats a location to trace stuff where the previous contents of /tmp can come in handy. My opinion is that it should also remove the subdirectories (the entire tree below /tmp) and one should expect that: Lots of current implementations have /tmp on a filesystem that is cleared on boot. For example on a ramdisk or such. If a tool needs a boot-save temporary storage, use /var/tmp. That is there for ages too: vi uses it for example.

This is the "Red Hat Network Users List". This list is about how to use the Red Hat _Network_, not the Red Hat OS software. Red Hat Network is the service that Red Hat provides for keeping systems installed, patched, and running on good code. It's a support function: code updates, latest rpm's, etc. etc. So no, RHN doesn't have any hibernation features that I know of.

I too joined this list with a severely wrong impression of what it was supposed to do. I do not remember where I found this site's link, but most likely a google search to solve some problem that I was having. I didn't know at that time that this site's sole purpose is RedHat upgrade issues. I *assumed* that the 'network' of RHN implied a network of experts - the people, not the patches. I was wrong. During the registration process, there is a confirmation email sent out. That would be the optimum place to inform folks such as myself that this list is ONLY for patches, or whatever minimal focus is appropriate AND provide links such as Duffy did for better suited mailing lists. If I read such a confirmation email that this list, though the list solved the issue I was having, saw it wasn't the proper forum for my needs, I'd have not confirmed and would have joined the other lists. I do wonder if this list thinks it appropriate to solve off topic problem posts as I have done on several occasions. -Bill Watson Here is a repeat what Duffy posted: I think most people use the release-specific lists for that kind of discussion. For example, nahant-list [1] for issues with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and taroon-list [2] for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. It sounds like you may benefit from redhat-sysadmin-list [3] as well. From the description: "This list is targeted at professional system administrators regarding intermediate and advanced system administration issues related to but not limited to Red Hat Linux."

Directories in there tend to stay there with their contents. It is in one of the `rc` files (see /etc/init.d) and it should be called relative early in the boot process. However, it should not be passed when booting to single-user mode: thats a location to trace stuff where the previous contents of /tmp can come in handy. My opinion is that it should also remove the subdirectories (the entire tree below /tmp) and one should expect that: Lots of current implementations have /tmp on a filesystem that is cleared on boot. For example on a ramdisk or such. If a tool needs a boot-save temporary storage, use /var/tmp. That is there for ages too: vi uses it for example.
