The only way I know of for this is via up2date during the inital registration. You *must* use an activation key, and that key can be associated with zero or more channels. Any system subscribed using this key will automatically be subscribed to the channels associated with the key. If a system is already registered, I think you have to re-register it; there is not a way to "add" channels later that I am aware of. That said, I'd love for more flexible way, even if it's via a seperate command (something like "rhn_subscribe_channel" or whatever). -- Jesse Becker GPG-fingerprint: BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

There is a --channel option that allow you to use up2date to force installation from a specific channel, so the "dumb client" paradigm is not *totally* true, though I think it is for membership. I think the easiest way to do this would be using groups and the System Set Manager your RHN website. So if you have 5 groups that contain the boxes you want to push this channel onto - Select them all from the Systems->System Groups screen - Click Work with [Intersection|Union] - You should then be presented with a list-o-systems and at the top of the page you should have "N systems selected". This should be the System Set Manager Page, if not go to Systems->System Set Manager - There should be a bar under the "System Set Manager" text with links for the various actions you can perform on the machines, Click on Channels - Futz with your channel subscriptions - Click Alter Subscriptions And it should be done. After that you can use a similar procedure to use SSM to push the software you want onto the box. Of course, if you have 100's of boxen and no groups, you'd need to manually select your boxes from t eh systems list which would be, er.. tedious. It might behoove you to do that process once to stick boxes into general groups (a box can be in multiple groups at the same time) just so next time it's easier. Of course, this is all wild speculation, YMMV. :) -n -- ------------------------------------------- nathan hruby uga enterprise information technology services production systems support metaphysically wrinkle-free ------------------------------------------- From randy at umbc.edu Thu Dec 2 19:14:33 2004 From: randy at umbc.edu (Randy Philipp) Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2004 14:14:33 -0500 (EST) Subject: [rhn-users] Problems with mkisofs and Large Files on RHEL 3?

You should get something like this: Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 36466 2457 32157 8% / /dev/hda1 99 10 85 10% /boot none 251 0 251 0% /dev/shm anaconda:/home/allusers 137799 19551 111250 15% /home/allusers anaconda:/usr/local 8378 2566 5387 33% /usr/local anaconda:/etc/motd 494 98 371 21% /etc/motd So you can see that on hda2 free space available is 32157 MB and so on .

These are Dell PowerEdge 1750 server with external Powervault 220s RAID. Both servers are experiencing latency when running basic I/O commands such as scp or rsync. These appear to cause kswapd to rack up an enormous amount of processor resources. For example, yesterday morning, I began an scp session on each server, transferring a directory with a size of 300 GB. This morning I came in and found that the load average was over 500 on each server and that kswapd had a CPU percentage of 198. This has happened repeatedly over the past month. To replicate this, I log on to the first server and scp the files and directories from a file system on the second server. This is reciprocated by running an scp process for files and directories from a file system the first server. Both file systems are on /dev/sdb, an external RAID box, and are over 300 GB. Both servers are on the same Gigabit network. The files transfer at approximately 15 GB an hour until about eight hours into the job when it begins to slow down to about 4-5 GB an hour and the load average increases over 200. It is at this point that kswapd begins to go through the roof while ssh and scp use relatively little resources (according to top and ps wauxg). After I kill the scp job, about 20 hours into it, kswapd continues to use the same amount of resources. I have done this CPU hyper threading enabled and disabled with no improvement. Anyone ever experienced this before? _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected? Get a FREE online computer virus scan from McAfee?

These are Dell PowerEdge 1750 server with external Powervault 220s RAID. Both servers are experiencing latency when running basic I/O commands such as scp or rsync. These appear to cause kswapd to rack up an enormous amount of processor resources. For example, yesterday morning, I began an scp session on each server, transferring a directory with a size of 300 GB. This morning I came in and found that the load average was over 500 on each server and that kswapd had a CPU percentage of 198. This has happened repeatedly over the past month. To replicate this, I log on to the first server and scp the files and directories from a file system on the second server. This is reciprocated by running an scp process for files and directories from a file system the first server. Both file systems are on /dev/sdb, an external RAID box, and are over 300 GB. Both servers are on the same Gigabit network. The files transfer at approximately 15 GB an hour until about eight hours into the job when it begins to slow down to about 4-5 GB an hour and the load average increases over 200. It is at this point that kswapd begins to go through the roof while ssh and scp use relatively little resources (according to top and ps wauxg). After I kill the scp job, about 20 hours into it, kswapd continues to use the same amount of resources. I have done this CPU hyper threading enabled and disabled with no improvement. Anyone ever experienced this before? _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected? Get a FREE online computer virus scan from McAfee?

Is there a chance that RH9 already includes PAE support for my 6GB memory system? If not I would prefer upgrading RH instead of building an own kernel, does RHEL3 or upcoming RHEL4 include PAE support?

This may help track down the problem. It certainly provides a clue, but not a solution. In the "Mem" section of the top display, the "buff" number goes up by 24k every 5 seconds (even when you tell top to refresh every 2 seconds). Something's getting buffers and not returning them? I removed the GbE net driver module from the kernel and the problem continues. I'm afraid to remove the sata drivers because I don't want to destroy my raid. I unmounted and stopped the raid, no change. No processes appear to be growing in size, but I'll let it run for a couple of days to see if that changes. Thank you for your suggestion. --Ken S. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is with no users ever having Open a terminal and run "free -m" instead. The system monitor is counting memory used for buffers and cache as "used". The free command will show you how much of that is buffers and cache. When there's unused memory on a Linux system, the kernel will use it to cache the contents of disk (so that subsequent reads of the same data are much faster). Memory used for buffers or cache is quickly converted into memory available for processes to run in when more memory is needed. -- Eric Eisenhart Linux/Unix Systems Administrator Office: Schulz 1050A, (707) 664-3099 AIM: ericeisenhart, ICQ: 156218985 Sonoma State University, IT From kmsarno at verizon.net Sat Dec 11 00:35:09 2004 From: kmsarno at verizon.net (Kenneth Sarno) Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2004 16:35:09 -0800 Subject: [rhn-users] Horrendous Memory Leak???

Message-ID: Hi List, (Please correct me if this the wrong list for these sort of issues). I'm concerned that some of the patches / updates offered by RHN for ES 3 are detrimental from a functionality perspective? The main three we have issues with are: DHCPD BIND YP DHCPD: 3.0pl2. This version is ancient (2+ years?). 3.0.1 superseded it six months ago. 3.0pl2 contains numerous bugs especially in regard to high availability "peering" setups. BIND: 9.2.4. This release is rc6. The decision to distribute a release candidate version of BIND dumbfounds me as well as several users on the isc.org list. YP: 2.8. Another 2+ year old version of the daemon. This version SIGSEGV's when you supply the -p switch. In all the daemon's above we have had to replace the binaries via third party RPM or from source. Interestingly, we also use SuSE Enterprise 8 and 9 which ship the most recent versions of all these daemons. The bottom line is: what am I really paying for here? Old, broken, obsolete daemons? A vagely souped up version of RedHat 9? Whilst I am "told" that we are paying for reliability and stability - that's a crock. None of these daemons work properly out of the box and have to be replaced. Will ES4 resolve this?

Opteron's use a Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA). Specifically, each CPU has its own connection to its own bank of RAM. Memory is accessed via a different path than I/O. Then there's connections between the CPUs in case one CPU needs to access RAM or I/O hooked up to the other processor. Xeons and Itaniums have a Front Side Bus that all access to all I/O and memory goes through, leaving you with a single bottleneck. So, it depends on the exact Opteron motherboard design that you're talking about, but with a dual or quad CPU system, an Opteron will make a much better database server than a Xeon or an Itanium (assuming the motherboard is designed right.) I've looked at the design specs for Sun's Opteron servers and HP's Opteron servers, and both are solid designs that put RAM in the right places. In both cases, on the dual-opteron design all I/O is off of one CPU (with ram on both) and on the system that can handle more than 2 CPUs, I/O is spread between 2 of the CPUs. (and a bank of RAM on every CPU, of course) I haven't checked if they've updated, but about a year ago IBM's Opteron systems looked kind of sub-par (no on-board RAID); designed for compute clusters not database servers. I have no idea about other vendors; quality can vary widely. There are definitely some Opteron boards out there that put all the RAM and I/O on one CPU, which makes the system about as slow as if it had a front-side bus. Check for support from Oracle. An Opteron can still make a very speedy server for running 32-bit applications, but you're best off if the specific things you're running actually support the "x86_64/AMD64/ia32e" 64-bit instructions.

Sun actually OEM's the NewIsys 2100 as the V20Z. If your on a tight budget, the NewIsys system is quite a bit cheaper than the V20Z for the same options. Both are great machines and perform very well. The only real difference I see between them is the way they utilize the service ports for remote access and management. For more info and pricing, check out NewIsys and Colfax International.

I don't expect any advantages from a linux point of view for both. Check the distro's if one or the other is natively supported, I expect the entire distro can be rebuild and optimized for both processors. Best to check Oracles point of view. I expect the database likes a 64bits environment.

These packages include: ncpfs, perl-libnet, actually a few perl packages. It would be nice to know exactly what was dropepd and why. When upgrading from RH 9 or 7 series, loosing packages our users require is a bit frustrating. As for now we compile from source, but, having everything from RHN would be nice. -- Donnie Herta Van den Eynde wrote: > Just installed a Red Hat Advanced Server v3 system, and cannot find a > sysstat-isag package.

My LAN is working fine (I tested it with ifconfig, route, ping and netstat). I've set up NFS server by starting NFS service and changing /etc/exports file according to HOWTO_NFS I read.

Then I appended /etc/fstab with the following line: 192.168.0.1:/directory_name /mnt/nfs nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0 At last I tried to mount that directory on client machine over NFS but I always get this error message: mount: RPC:Portmapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive How can I resolve this? I've searched man pages for exports, rpc, mount and found nothing similar. Also I've searched bugzilla on RedHat.com and there wasn't reported anything like that. I have only found some similar problems over www.google.com/linux but there wasn't NFS nor mount involved. In those cases some other services posted this RPC error and the only solution was to install and compile new NIS files. If someone knows the solution please explain to me what can be done.

For now: `/etc/init.d/nfs start` and for after the next boot: `chkconfig nfs on`. The same for "nfslock". Maybe `/etc/init.d/nfs restart` is needed to re-read the exports file. What does `exportfs` say? Is there a firewall active? > > How can I resolve this? I've searched man pages for exports, rpc, mount > and found nothing similar.

I've done that on RH9 and on RHEL3. Deep investigation showed there is an update of both `up2date` and `rpm` that is outside the up2date cyclus. Check the redhat websites to see if that holds true for your version and variant. Then carefully update both packages. Roumors are this is due to some type of database, used with rpm that is in a bad version.

Running up2date on the command line would result in an error "Could not determine which version of Red Hat Linux you are running" (raised by /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateUtils.py). The script asks you to run "rpm --rebuilddb" to try and fix the problem. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me (neither did uninstalling and reinstalling up2date). Fix: Installed the appropriate redhat-release package (which in my case it was redhat-release-3WS-7.4.i386.rpm). Question for the redhat folks: If one of the up2date scripts relies on redhat-release for correct functioning, shouldn't it be listed as a dependency for up2date? -Mathew --- Mathew Mathai Virginia Tech Cogito, ergo errum From daniel-wittenberg at starken.com Mon Dec 27 23:58:39 2004 From: daniel-wittenberg at starken.com (Daniel Wittenberg) Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2004 17:58:39 -0600 Subject: [rhn-users] up2date problems with EL 3.0 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1104191920.7468.0.camel@hawk.wittenberg.org> Try: rm /var/lib/rpm/__* rpm --rebuilddb up2date -l Dan On Mon, 2004-12-27 at 14:38 -0800, George Goffe wrote: > > Howdy, > > I'm having troubles with up2date and I don't know what else. > > I started getting ssl errors and followed that path for a while by > updating the certificate and then upgrading up2date.

RedHat's kernel has forked quite far from the main tree, including major features like hugemem, nptl, and audit (2 out of 3 of which actually work). up2date -u --get-source kernel rpm -i /var/spool/up2date/kernel*src.rpm Then read /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel.spec and try adding your patches. Good luck. You'll need it. I would recommend instead reevaluating your filesystem (redhat supports ext3 and reiser) or platform (debian, fedora, and novell/suse support xfs).

I'm an ignorant newbie so don't pay too much attention to me, but about six months ago I got a USB scanner to work by installing with insmod a few kernel modules that were already present in the kernel's /lib/modules directory. I guess that the stock kernel as distributed by Red Hat doesn't have USB support enabled for some reason (????), but the required installable modules for that support are supplied so you can enable it yourself without having to rebuild or recompile anything. I didn't write down and don't remember the modules I installed, but one of them was scanner.o, one was uhci or ohci, and I believe there was a third. I can't just do an lsmod for you, because that was several kernels ago and I have since removed USB scanner support. There's a USB how-to somewhere on the net that gives the specifics. Sorry for the lack of info but I think it's the right general direction. --Ken S. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You may verify this by first searching for package-name in the RHEL3 channel at rhn.redhat.com. If the package no longer exists in RHEL, get rid of it. Because I just did this myself on my former RHL9 system, I probably won't be reporting any more dependency problems like below in the future. > -----Original Message----- > From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] > On Behalf Of Knutsen, Mark > Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2004 9:55 AM > To: Red Hat Network Users List > Subject: RE: [rhn-users] Upgrade 9.0 to RHEL 3.0 > > The RHEL3 U4 updates produced one dependency problem with a leftover > package from RHL9.

So I do not know much, yet, but I am willing to be a good student. Here is what I am trying to do: I am trying to run my own web site and want to use the imbedded apache server to host it. I am am planning to run a good weather station (by Davis) and have a live video support feed of the weather to anyone in my region (Austin area) who is intersted. Being scared of hackers to destroy my computer, I am turning to this support forum for help: 1) Can anyone tell me if there is a great link of how to set my web site up with the apache server? 2) What about a link for a firewall, port and antivirus protection, etc.? 3) Anything else that I should be aware of? I have "read" about five books in how to use Linux, but I am still bewildered. I am not a programmer. So maybe some of you with greater knowledge might be able to help me out on this. THANKS so much for your time and advise.

I was scared the newer ones would be to much for my old AMD k6 -2. I have upgraded the hardrive and the memory but it is still and older computer. OEM Compaq Win 98 quit out an I needed something. Anyway, the disks come from a "Redhat 7.3 for Dummies" book, so you know where I am at on the linux learning curve. Anyway, I installed it and it recognized all my important hardware just fine. I also updated the ssh certificates for Redhat update agent so that isn't the problem. It always hangs at 2% when installing the update for xfree86. It even does this when I do it from the command line with up2date. Can anyone help? Also, I wasn't able to create an iptables firewall using the instructions provided in the Redhat for dummies book. I think it is a different version of iptables maybe. This book appears to be a newer edition of a book that had been written for even older versions of red hat, so I figure I am being given the instructions for the wrong iptables. -- _____________________________________________________________ Web-based SMS services available at http://www.operamail.com. >From your mailbox to local or overseas cell phones.

If I right-click on it, the only menu option that is not grayed out is "Exit". Of course I can run up2date from the commandline (that launches up2date), but I depend on the GUI tool to be working, too. It normally says XX updates, 0 ignored.
