I've exausted my self attempting to load on a boot image to the management blade for a project that i'm doing with a few friends.
I just bought this Foundary *off ebay of course* and who ever had it last removed the image! I mean I cant even get into the primary or secondary. I tried booting from tftp, but everytime that happens, the switch just restarts and then doesnt boot up again. This is what i'm getting.
Code:
BOOT INFO: RESET ANY
master arbitrate : become primary arbitrator.
BOOT INFO: Become active CPU module
M2 BI Boot Code Version 06.05.00
Enter 'b' to go to boot monitor ...
BOOT INFO: load from primary copy
BOOT ERR: bad code image header
BOOT INFO: load from secondary copy
BOOT ERR: bad code image header
BOOT INFO: try to boot from bootp server
bootp timed out, bootp-tftp process aborted!
BOOT ERR: bootp failed
I currently have the B2R07601b.BIN image, just I dont know how to load the file onto the blade via tftp or any other method.
I have a requirement for a server with a need to store 4000 entries each having a 10 mb video clip. No indication of popularity of site as this is a startup. Thats my headache part, normally for such a server would it be advisable using SCSI / SAS and expecting a huge bandwidth requirements? Or should it be done implemented as a cluster?
I'm looking for a solution that I can place a firewall between 2 vlans on a BigIron router with L3 enabled.
For this moment there is one big vlan2 with a ip-route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 123.123.123.123 and a router-interface ve2 with the IP of the router, the address I use as gateway on the machines behind it.
The WAN port has the IP address to communicate with to the GW of the carrier-router (123.123.123.122)
Because I want to let the BigIron the routing I was thinking of 2 vlans, one for the lan-vlan and one for the wan-vlan, but this will be a problem because I only have one IP-block what I can use.
So the sitiuation must be as follow on the BigIron:
WAN => vlan2 => firewall => vlan3(lan)
Because of the fact that the firewall will be transparent, this should be no problem to place it between the vlans. The actual problem is how to manage this. In simple words, I should be able to replace the firewall with a cross-cable and it should still work.
Cisco for an example has a SVI solution for this, but I can't find such thing for a Foundry router.
We are having some problems with a Foundry Bigiron 4000.
The hardware config is as following:
- Bigiron 4000 chassis
- 2x B8GMR3-A management (active + standby)
- 2x B24E
Once every couple of days now, we get the following error in syslog:
Code: 2009-10-05 20:40:00User.Warning8x.xx.50.1Oct 5 20:39:59 gateway IP: IP: Duplicate IP address 8x.xx.38.1 detected sent from MAC address 0004.d3ea.e200 interface 3/13, 1 packets, first packet received at time 1 days 20 hours 41 minutes 37 seconds since bootup!............
I know there's been discussion regarding Foundry BigIron's and their capabilities of running L3 and L2 at the same time.
I have a friend who is running a BigIron 8000 and only pushing just over 100Megabits on it, however once every few hours he experiences a BGP flap and one of the CPU's maxes out. He is running both Layer 3 and Layer 2 on it.
When the issue occur's, new connections do not open, but currently opened connections continue to operate.
Is there a specific packet type that is causing this to happen? Does anyone have any insight? It is running the latest firmware.
I recently installed a foundry bigiron 4000 with a B8MGR3 running version: 07.1.18T53
When ever I tracert outbound using a unix box, it gives me a ICMP checksum is wrong error. Before I had this switch installed, i never had this issue! Could it be this version i am running?? And this ICMP error happens on all of my unix boxes.
I've supposedly set APF firewall to start at boot time, by doing something like:
chkconfig --levels 2345 apf on
However i have my reservations to weather it is actually starting, its set to block port 80, after boot if i try and access it, the connection will get refused straight away, however if i go and manually start APF then try and access again, it will take a while, like its ignoring the connection attempt (which is good).
I'm trying to put together a new 1U rackmount server that I'm intending to colocate (my first server of my own). Here are the details:
11-152-087 CHASSIS SUPERMICRO|CSE-512L-260B R 13-182-120 SERVER_MB SUPERMICRO|MBD-PDSML-LN2+ 22-144-417 HD 250G|WD 7K 8M SATA2 WD2500JS 19-115-029 CPU INTEL|C2D E6750 2.66G 65N 4M R 20-134-337 MEM 1Gx2|KST KVR667D2E5K2/2G R
The stock CPU fan is obviously too big to sit in a 1U rackmount chassis, but I've got the top off and was just trying to boot up with the OEM fan to make certain everything worked (forgot to order a low-profile fan and heatsink--they're on the way).
Well, I put everything together, and it won't boot. Upon power up, there is nothing sent to the VGA port, and after a second or two, there is a hi-low alarm sound that does not stop that seems to imply the system is overheating (the MB and chassis manuals don't mention this alarm anywhere, but the read "temperature" light on the front is red). The CPU fan runs as well as the case fan, and even if I hold a huge high-velocity home fan over it, it still won't send any signal to the VGA monitor or POST.
I've checked that the power connections are good, the fans are seated properly, the memory contact is good, etc., and all I get is this hi-low chime every time I try to boot up. I think it's either a bad MB or CPU, since I can't imagine that the CPU is overheating with the heat sink and CPU fan.
Perhaps I've screwed something up, but the next issue I have is trying to figure out what could be causing the problem so I know what to return or replace. Is it the CPU? MB? RAM? Power unit? How can I test any of these without buying another set and possibly frying those?
I figured maybe some of you might have some ideas. I've built several computers over the years, but this one has me completely stymied.
This is probably the wrong location for this thread but I am unsure which section it is best located at.
I have 2 hard drives - 1 has XP pro installed (master drive) on it and the other is blank and set to slave. On the blank one i intedn to install Red Hat linux.
How is the best way to create a dual boot with these machines if each hard drive has one O/S dedicated to it.
I'm not sure exactly how to phrase the question. But, I'm researching how to PXE boot a server without having a DHCP/PXE server in each vlan.
Scenario: Datacenter with dozens of servers. 1 VLAN per server. Cisco switches and routers. Each server has a serial console available for remote management (OS and BIOS are configured for serial console). If an admin wants to re-install OS, they should be able to reboot the server and tell the BIOS to initiate a PXE boot request. A central install server is available to provide the DHCP and PXE boot images.
Has anyone tried this? I have been reading about the 'ip helper-address' for Cisco to relay DHCP requests. Interested in hearing about real-world setups. Or is there a better way to accomplish remote OS installs?
We cannot figure out why our dedicated server will not boot to the correct kernel. I've removed all other options from grub.conf but it's still booting to the default CentOS setup.
grub.conf:
Code: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/ddf1_4c53492020202020808627c300000000378494a900000a28p1 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/mapper/ddf1_4c53492020202020808627c300000000378494a900000a28 default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-028stab062.3) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.6.18-028stab062.3 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-028stab062.3.img
I've got Centos 4 and I'm wondering what's the best way to cleanup my /boot partition?
Tried to do a yum update tonight and it included kernel, amongst other updates that belonged there so it stopped. I've googled around for commands to run and whatnot, but no go... or I just can't find it... if I had to clean it up I have an idea already about what to do, but I want to ask for advice first to see if there's an easier way.
on a RHE 3 system I installed a new Kernel. I did update lilo.conf and grub.conf but they are still booting an old kernel: 2.4.21-27.ELsmp. Please have a look at my files below and if you have any idea why please let me know.

am running CentOs with whm/cpanel and am whenever i reboot my server all sites that required mysql show erros ( can't connect ) it resolves by manually in the web host manager restarting mysql.
I have an old server with only IDE and SCSI connectors on the mobo.
However, I have only SATA drives and no IDE available. I consider to buy an entry level PCI SATA adapter card. What do you think ? Can I install and boot Linux directly from it?

I have set up Windows Small Business Server 2003 and was testing it over the past week. Everything has been going well and yesterday it requested to install an update (not to sure what it was now) and soon after the update was installed a restart was required.
After the server shutdown and tried to restart the system will not restart.
The machine powers up and then I am faced with a blank black screen (no load bar nothing). The monitor led light flashes from green to orange then to a static green light after the Dell splash screen.
I can load up into safe mode although I do not know how to work out what is wrong. I am guessing the update has caused the issue, possibly a boot sector needs repairing. There are no new additions to control panel -> install/remove programs which i believe is where all updates can be uninstalled from.
I backed a system up with rsync, and just used rsync to copy it into a new machine... I just backed up / to my home directory on another machine, and then 'extracted' it to / on the new machine.
But now everything (and I mean everything) is owned by "matt", my user on the intermediate machine. I rebooted the system to get it to boot the new stuff without realizing this, and now it's not booting... Since /etc/passwd, /bin/bash, etc. aren't owned by root.
Any tips on where to go from here? As I said, it's a brand-new machine (VM, actually: even better!), so re-imaging is a solution, but I'd still have to copy the data back over. Reinstalling is a pain, though, so if there's a simple fix, I'd prefer that. I've got pygrub installed as a boot manager for the VM, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get into single-user mode. (Nor am I sure that a "cd /; chown -R root" will have the desired effect?)
After installing Kernels seems /boot is boing to be full soon. Which files can be safely deleted ? Mean lets say to keep the latest Kernel and previous version:
I've software RAID installed with one SATA and one ATA/IDE drive. It is a combined controller so I had to add noprobe=/dev/hdc to the kernel boot line. Now the disks are named /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. There are four partitions, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 are the /dev/md0 root partition and then /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 are the swap partition.
First when I removed one drive I just came to the grub command line..
Then I tried to do this in grub to make both drives bootable: grub>device (hd0) /dev/sda grub>root (hd0,0) grub>setup (hd0) grub>device (hd1) /dev/sdb grub>root (hd1,0) grub>setup (hd1) grub>quit
Now it looks like normal when I get to grub apart from that the background of the boot screen is black instead of blue and then the computer just restarts when it is supposed to start/boot the system.
