We do however have to reinstall our machine image on the lab machines every so often, and having to register each one by hand to RHN is a pain to say the least. Has anyone come across or developed a method to automatically register a machine with RHN? I'd also like to be able to remove an old profile of the machine at the same time I'm creating a new profile with RHN, but that's not as needed.

Some specific questions are of interest to us: - Do you primarily use the command-line configuration client or the web interface? Why? - What procedures do you follow in order to keep the configuration files you manage in RHN updated and deployed? How often to you typically update configuration files? By which mechanisms do you update them (edit in the web ui, import newer version from a system, etc.)? How often do you deploy configuration files to systems? - How do you import files into the configuration management system? Do you upload or create files directly in global configuration channels? Or, do you prefer to use system sandboxes to import files directly from RHN-registered systems? Do you find the "Import Configuration Files by Modified Time" in the system sandbox a useful feature? - Do you prefer to deploy all configuration files for a system/set of systems at once, or do you prefer to deploy configuration files one-at-a-time? - How many / which roles in your organization are involved in keeping configuration files updated & deployed? In addition to the above, any feedback on the configuration management interface is welcome. Please note, however, that this is an informal survey and is not a forum for making formal feature requests. To file a formal feature/improvement request, you should contact your support representative. Please don't hesitate to contact me off-list if you'd like to participate but would prefer not to discuss your answers on-list.

There are postings as far back as 2001 that relate to the problems with this code, and the bug report was closed out at Red Hat 7 saying it would be fixed later. Anyone have the code for that correction? I think the problem is an out of memory condition, since most users of this have it on small memory machines (256MB, in this case), but it really should be made to work before it fades into obscurity. The code shows BUSY, kmalloc failures and one other problem condition, but I've forgotten which one is "-16". This really makes a simple install into a pain in the butt.

You installed a 32-bit version of RHEL4 onto AMD processor. Anaconda tried to be too smart and detected your stone as Athlon, rather than Opteron and the wrong kernel got installed, since Athlons don't support more than 4GB by definition hence your situation. You can inspect what architecture your kernel was compiled for using: rpm -q --qf "RPM: %{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} Arch:%{ARCH}\n" kernel (just if you didn't know `rpm --querytags`) Also look in `cat /proc/cpuinfo` - how was your stone detected? Then re-install kernel for 64-bit AMD proc and you should be all set.

AMD started x86_64 with its opteron and athlon64 procs, and Intel added 64bit extensions to its xeons and dubbed it EMT64. To the best of my knowledge there is no distinction, and on the install CDs it has them listed for either 32bit x86 or 64bit AMD64/EMT64.

Chris, I believe the above is an example similar to the second of the two situations that I ran into when I came to the conclusion that LVM was "half baked" and not (yet?) suitable for production use on server systems (below). I repeat my message below for your information and in case there might have been any changes that might allow recovery from the problems I ran into. I will be interested to see if you find any way to recover from the problem you ran into: ________________________________________________________ Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 18:30:18 -0700 To: linux-lvm at redhat.com, rhn-users at redhat.com From: Jed Donnelley Subject: Linux LVM - half baked? Redhat LVM users, Since I mentioned a minor bug in Redhat/LVM (9/28 LVM(2) bug in RH ES 4.1 /etc/rc.d/sysinit.rc, RAID-1+0) I've done quite a number of additional installs using LVM. I've now had my second system that got into an essentially unrecoverable state. That's enough for me and LVM. I very much like the facilities that LVM provides, but if I'm going to lose production file systems with it - well, I will have to wait. Below are descriptions of the two problems I've run into. I have run linux rescue from a CD for both systems. The difficulty of course is that since the problem seems to be in the LVM layer, there are no file systems to work on (e.g. with fsck). Perhaps there are some tools that I'm not yet familiar with to recover logical volumes in some way? These are test/development systems, but if anybody has any thoughts on how to recover their file systems (e.g. to get more confidence in LVM) I'd be quite interested to hear them - just for the experience and perhaps to regain some confidence in LVM. Thanks! In one system after doing nothing more than an up2date on a x86_64 system and rebooting I see: ... 4 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active ERROR: failed in exec of defaults ERROR: failed in exec of ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed: 23 ERROR: ext3 exited abnormally! (pid 284) ... kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! When I look at the above disks (this is a 6 disk system, one RAID-1 pair for /boot - not LVM - and a 4 disk RAID-10 system for /data) the partitions all look fine. I'm not sure what else to look for. ______________________ In the other system (an x86 system) I had a disk failure in a software RAID-1 file system for the system file system (/boot /). I replaced the disk and resynced it apparently successfully. However, after a short time that replacement disk apparently failed (wouldn't spin up on boot). I removed the second disk and restarted the system. Here is how that went: ... Your System appears to have shut down uncleanly fsck.ext3 -a /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 contains a file system with errors, check forced /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found. /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY (i.e. without -a or -p options) [FAILED] *** An error occurred during the file system check. *** Dropping you to a shell; The system will reboot when you leave the shell. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue) --------------------- All stuff very familiar to those who've worked on corrupted file systems. However, in this case if I type Control-D or enter the root password the system goes through a sequence like: unmounting ... automatic reboot and reboots. This starts the problem all over again. As with the first system above if I use a rescue disk there is no file system to run fsck on. At this point, despite the value I see in LVM, I plan to back off on production deployment. I'd be interested to hear the experiences of others. _____________________________________________________________________ I did back off LVM. We don't use LVM on any of our many (50+, though not so many Linux) production server systems. We use RAID on all those systems. I still don't trust LVM for production use. I'd be quite interested to hear any defense of LVM for application to production servers. In my current opinion anybody using LVM for production servers over RAID (at least for the /boot and / partitions) is walking on shaky ground. I'd be quite interested to be shown to be wrong in that opinion. --Jed http://www.webstart.com/jed/ From Jeremy.Lyon at us.ibm.com Thu Jan 19 20:57:10 2006 From: Jeremy.Lyon at us.ibm.com (Jeremy Lyon) Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 13:57:10 -0700 Subject: [rhn-users] Jeremy Lyon is out of the office.

That error is posted on RHN, and the conclusion is that GTKpod can't locate the GTK2 libraries. The advise to "point" the library config to include /usr/local/lib and run the config command to reread that didn't help. So, I decided to get a newer release of GTKpod. And it complains that I don' have libmp4v2 on the system. So, I got that and attempt to "bootstrap" make it, but the make fails on a pointer (int without cast) error. Has anyone encountered this problem with libmp4v2 and resolved it? Has anyone found a stable version of GTKpod that they would recommend? RPPM's for this whole thing are definately preferred over tar/zip/source. THanks! Delta PS. I received zero responses on the Kawasaki LSI USB/Ethernet problem, so I guess I'm the last person attempting to use a vintage SONY port replicator for its ports. I have the wireless PCMCIA working, so this isn't a big deal, but the thought of having a broken hardware connection bothers me just a little.

I have just invested in some RHE 4 x64 which looks good and I am slowly getting to grips with it. I have a new install including Webmin and Virtualmin (and vmware) /tmp is being reported as too small to run any virtual servers - therefore I need to increase its size from about 500mb (52mb free not enough) I Increased size of Logical Volume02 by 2GB (For good measure and got loadsa disc space) I then apparently need to increase size of /tmp to the 2gb which shouldn't be a problem with a resize command to the full extent of the already extended logical volume. (That went OK) But when trying to unmount the /tmp file I found various processes are running - most kill off OK with Webmin users button - kill or terminate. But one process remains which means I can't unmount /tmp to resize it. The problem process, gamin, which won't die short of it seems shooting it somewhere vulnerable in the hardware apparently. I have tried everything (as a serious new newbie here so may have missed something from "everything" ;-) ) I tried kill gamin at the prompt too - nothing happened, searched forums till I my finger tips are raw and my eyes strained.

Now as you can see the the LV seems to be correct at 2GB but now (having started vmware up again now) the /tmp file reports 400mb used and 1.3GB free. Slightly odd as it now seems to be using less actual space on /tmp than before (450MB before) the total of that comes to1.7GB not the 2GB for the LV. This is slightly unusual too in that last night pre vmware recompile/start it reported a total of 1.5gb Not quite sure what's going on, it is working now due to the extra space so to an extent the problem has been solved but I am definitely curious to know why it doesn't use all of the LV and indeed seems to be reporting a different /tmp size almost based on time of day and how it feels rather than a fixed setting.

I believe you can point cpan at a different server, Ive not had to play with that, but I had issues with a box similarly and downloaded and manually applied the cpan files when I had problems a while back, I think my problem was my box didn't have internet access. There are a number of cpan servers.. So. When you configured CPAN you picked an FTP server, Im not sure how you would reaccess that list and pick a new one, but if ftp in general works, use a different cpan ftp server. -----Original Message----- From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Owens, Neil Sent: 25 January 2006 08:38 To: Red Hat Network Users List Subject: RE: [rhn-users] CPAN and general FTP problems Liz As you can see from the FTP output, I've tried Active and Passive FTP - neither connects the data channel.

That worked fine for me recently. It also installs easily onto RHE. The only problem I had was what seemed to be to small a /tmp directory to run some virtual machines as you may have seen on my previous posts to this list recently. I would suggest at least 1G (I went for 2G for good measure). For the record too vmware evaluated without fault for me on both Linux and Windows platform. MS version wouldn't in spite of their claims allow me to install a Linux Guest system. (Well not Fedora 4 or Suse 10 anyway) swsoft had some issues too. Vmware has been totally stable and the guest performed without fault. On Any host operating system. Don't forget to split your new guest Virtual machine into 2gb files (try moving a 10gb single file machine onto Fat32 :-( Bing bong! ) Hope that was useful too in addition to the download information :-) Paul _____ From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of didier.mattei at degussa.com Sent: 25 January 2006 03:01 To: rhn-users at redhat.com Subject: [rhn-users] (no subject) Hi, I can not dowload the "REDHAT 9 vmware file evaluation" how to resolve it ? iam registred on your site, thanks, regards.

Message-ID: <000801c6234d$1d9d9b80$6401a8c0@CLIFF> I'm running RHEL 3. I have Samba installed and configured, as a member of the local workgroup. The RHEL box is *not* the DHCP server, the XP boxes get their IP elsewhere via DHCP. How can I use Netbios name lookup as part of the regular resolver process? Google has been unhelpful. That is, let's say I have a machine named "john". From my RHEL box, I want to be able to do the following: $ ping john [usual ping responses] But because the name "john" is only known via Netbios resolution (nmblookup works), I can't do that from the command prompt. I can't use a hosts file entry because IP addresses are assigned via DHCP. I've looked at the docs for resolv.conf, host.conf and so forth, but haven't found much help.

If grub is loaded on the mbr of the windows drive then you have a problem. If it is loaded on the linux drive you should be ok. I generally put linux on the 1st hd and windows on the 2nd. This way windows can operate on its own b/c it is so picky. If you want to switch to this way I think you would have to load grub onto the linux mbr and make sure windows fixes its own mbr as well (if you use the cd to enter the rescue mode I think the "fix boot" command will put the mbr back to normal. Then in the menu.lst I put: Windows root (hdx,y) map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) chainloader (hd1,0)+1 Benj ---- Original message ---- >Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2006 13:56:47 -0600 >From: "Ron Hoering" >Subject: Re: [rhn-users] Dual-Boot issue w/ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 WS and Windows XP Professional x64 >To: > >Hi Benj, > >I have the normal entries in the grub.conf file.

The first partition on the linux drive is marked as active. The weirdest part is if I can boot Windows in Safe Mode [with out network support] so somewhere it Windows can find the disk to boot from. I may need to try setting the Windows partition as active and see if it boots fine. If it doesn't I will repair the MBR and see if it goes. I have seen the GRUB commands to swap the hard drive order but my other PC [with 32-bit Windows XP] dual-boots just fine and does not require the map. I believe there is a "rootnoverify" where you put "root" in the GRUB.conf of both PCs. >Windows >root (hdx,y) >map (hd0) (hd1) >map (hd1) (hd0) >chainloader (hd1,0)+1 Thanks, Ron _________________________________ Ronald M.

When I look in my System Entitlements I see the following. Update Service: You have 4 subscriptions (including 1 Demo subscription), and you have 0 systems subscribed. However when I try to run up2date -register I get the following message: Problem registering system: Error Message: Registration failed: RHN Software Management service entitlements exhausted Error Class Code: 91 Error Class Info: Registration token unable to entitle system: maximum membership exceeded Explanation: An error has occurred while processing your request. If this problem persists please enter a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com. If you choose to submit the bug report, please be sure to include details of what you were trying to do when this error occurred and details on how to reproduce this problem. I only have the "Base Entitlements", and I am assumeing that's all I need to use up2date to just get updates for a single machine. I have tried this from multiple machines with no luck, I purchased the 3 subscriptions through the website and never received any sort of key. So for the activate screen in up2date I chose "use one of my existing subscriptions", which produces the previous error. Any ideas?
