there's no BIOS settings that I know of in seabios you can't get rid of the F12 prompt on our systems, it is always there Hey guys Good morning. up_the_irons: curious, how are you doing your OS updates on the kvr hosts? online/aptitude? or are you doing a CD based upgrade? up_the_irons: the f12 prompt isn't an issue. what i'd like is the ability to, through the portal, to remove the isos from the virtual optical drives thoughts? mus1cb0x: right, that's what i gathered. that ability does not exist. jpalmer: boot into systemrescuecd ISO, wipe root, /boot, and swap, deboostrap the version i want, then puppet to rebuild it all back up again *debootstrap jpalmer: install CD based upgrade was a fail (tried it on a spare machine) b/c once it gets to the partition menu, it wants to scan all the LVM volumes (presumably to pre-populate the partition menu), and since customer VMs are on LVM volumes, that process takes WAAAAAY too long, like 15 minutes of waiting. Could not figure out for the life of me how to turn that off. openbsd 5.5 is out but anyway, it's fine b/c the systemrescuecd approach can be way more scripted. no menus to navigate. staticsafe: oh? nice crap, another template to make... just when i finish with one... http://www.openbsd.org/55.html but good thing is i can try all virtio with 5.5 (just like I did with FreeBSD 10) and see if it works well New viornd(4) driver for VirtIO random number devices hah there's virtio even for rngs! how can i find out which physical server a given VPS is on, so i can monitor @bsdvps for relevant service status messages? kvr host when you vnc ahh! from within a portal ty mnathani np up_the_irons: Have you considered virtualizing that lone Windows Box you were looking for a hand on? That way all settings/ hostname/ips and services can stay the same while the physical hardware can be abstracted mnathani: have not thought about it; what i need more is just for someone else to take care of it. more work than time, so i need help. up_the_irons: I was more asking because, I need to do the exact same upgrade. 9.04 to the latest LTS trying to figure out the best way to handle it. (server is 1005remote, in another state) jpalmer: yeah, so, i tried a lot of different ways before i came up with the one above. i think it is the best way. @wa 39 inches to cm convert 39 inches to centimeters;99.06 cm (centimeters);9.906 dm (decimeters);990.6 mm (millimeters);0.9906 meters;3.25 feet;3\' 3";~~ (1 to 1.4) × average human step length ( 69 to 97 cm );~~ (1 to 3) × elliptical stride length ( 12 to 22 in );~~ 4 × stair tread depth (~~ 11 in );~~ 0.58 × average human height (~~ 1.7 m );~~ 0.66 × average ground level of the Maldives above sea level (~~ 1.5 m );~~ 4.3 × inner radius of an NBA basketbal @wa 19 inches to cm convert 19 inches to centimeters;48.26 cm (centimeters);4.826 dm (decimeters);482.6 mm (millimeters);0.4826 meters;1.583 feet;1\' 7";~~ (0.5 to 0.7) × average human step length ( 69 to 97 cm );~~ (0.9 to 1.5) × elliptical stride length ( 12 to 22 in );~~ stair tread depth (~~ 11 in );~~ 8.9 × typical credit card width ( 53.98 mm );~~ 3.7 × stair riser height ( 4 to 7 in );~~ (1 to 8) × bicycle tire radius ( 0.5 bicycle tire diameters );~~ @wa 38 inches to cm @wa 30 inches to cm convert 38 inches to centimeters;96.52 cm (centimeters);9.652 dm (decimeters);965.2 mm (millimeters);0.9652 meters;3.167 feet;3\' 2";~~ (1 to 1.4) × average human step length ( 69 to 97 cm );~~ (1 to 3) × elliptical stride length ( 12 to 22 in );~~ 3 × stair tread depth (~~ 11 in );~~ 0.57 × average human height (~~ 1.7 m );~~ 0.64 × average ground level of the Maldives above sea level (~~ 1.5 m );~~ 4.2 × inner radius of an NBA basketba convert 30 inches to centimeters;76.2 cm (centimeters);7.62 dm (decimeters);762 mm (millimeters);0.762 meters;2.5 feet;2\' 6";~~ (0.8 to 1.1) × average human step length ( 69 to 97 cm );~~ (1 to 2) × elliptical stride length ( 12 to 22 in );~~ 3 × stair tread depth (~~ 11 in );~~ 0.51 × average ground level of the Maldives above sea level (~~ 1.5 m );~~ 5.9 × stair riser height ( 4 to 7 in );~~ 3.3 × inner radius of an NBA basketball rim @date 1556 days ago 4 years, 13 weeks, 4 days, 23 hours, 0 seconds ago. [Interpreted date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:16:39 -0800] up_the_irons: yeah. not sure it's going to work for my needs. Are you able to retain the data. from the sounds of it, if you had things loaded, you'd lose them unless they were on a seperate lvm partition/disk basically, I'm hoping to do an in-place upgrade somehow. cuz.. I inherited the machine a few weeks ago. and don't have a 100% solid grasp of everything it's doing. and there are some oddities.. like, they run a script to setup the firewall, rather than the standard init.d stuff, etc. jpalmer: so yeah, i put my data and OS in different partitions, so I can blow away the OS when it is time to upgrade and netstat -plunt gives me a fricken laundry list. so, wipe/reinstall is S C A R Y jpalmer: sounds to me like you're looking at a messy aptitude in-place upgrade up_the_irons: yeah, I'm not too familiar with debian. but the EOLUpgrade page, shows 9.04 to the next "jump being pretty.. risky. err s/debian/ubuntu/ I guess I should use clonezilla.. take the machine down for a couple hours.. bring the image over and restore it to a local VM.. and do the upgrade path piece by piece. then, if something goes horribly wrong.. I still have a clonezilla backup. :/ it's 3 strikes. the machine is in another state, I'm not strong with ubuntu, and I don't know what all the machine is doing yet. It just doesn't seem like a recipe for success. haha indeed not jpalmer: you might try a no-downtime approach by recreating the machine in a VM, and tar-over-ssh the data across I did that with a remote OpenBSD host that I have almost-no hands on, and it worked like a charm i recently did that w/data from a fedora core 3 (!!!!!) server -> centos box i'd love to meet the person who thought FC3 was a good idea, haha There's not much I would claim "was a good idea"... usually just "the best idea/we could do at the time" brycec: I like that better than lonezilla. danke. No problem. It may not be as "clean", it's always been "close enough." Build the vm, boot to a rescuecd, recreate the partition table and filesystems, mount and unpack/receive the tar. Oh and don't forget to install the bootloader. brycec: server-oriented distro vs "bleeding edge" community distro i think the first one is a pretty "good idea" for a server vs the one that was unsupported less than 8 mos after it was deployed, hahaha esp considering it was still in active svc til 2 weeks ago, and hadn't been rebooted in like 5 years or something haha nice I'm going to assume either someone was running it on their desktop and thus deployed same, or they wanted the latest version of Apache-or-whatevs it has hand-compiled apache not even installed from a repo 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp #1 SMP Fri Oct 21 04:03:26 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux 2.6.x at least... yeah, barely haha m0unds: CentOS 4 used 2.6.8, so it's well within 2.6.x ...and now I want to buy a Cobalt RaQ.

"Yeah kids, we store..." hahahaha, we've had some tribal officials tour our room before i helped our VMS vendor do a demo for a property in southern nm that was looking at their stuff that's the extent of 'tours' we've done our entire headend (core network and all video servers) fit in 5 full height racks huh. so, apparently, even when you're running VSS with a redundant sup in a separate chassis...ios still reserves the power for the redundant sup as if it's in the same chassis. must be getting powered by laser radiation or something. o_o sup2t in cha-1 and sup2t in cha-2 - show pow swit 1 or swit 2 shows the redundant sup from the other chassis, and associated power budget, lol juniper MX80 maximum power draw, fully loaded, is less than the amount of power my 6500 chassis' are reserving for phantom redundant sups ok weechatters. on my mac, I have to hit esc+# to switch windows. this works up to window 10 (esc-0) in irssi, I could then do esx-q for window 11. this doesn't work in weechat. how do I get windows higher than 11! Alt-J window number ok, THAT is gonna take some getting used to. not intuitive at all. lol (and doesn't work on the mac) probably changeable, I would ask in #weechat brycec: I have been meaning to ask you what other software / tools / distributions you use that pass that test of: Someone else can find their way around by checking out the documentation.
