Recently, bonding module requires IPv6 module. There are two possible solutions. The first is to define zeroconf to off, by adding the following line to /etc/sysconfig/network : NOZEROCONF=yes The other method, which actually disables IPv6 is to insert into /etc/modprobe.conf the following line: options ipv6 disable=1 That should do the trick. You will need to…
Putty has announced that they will not allow automatic import of host key. You should press the damn ‘y’ yourself, or else, you will fail. A quote from their FAQ says: “A.2.9 Is there an option to turn off the annoying host key prompts? No, there isn’t. And there won’t be. Even if you write…
Well, this is rather common. Network-free seeding is being performed through using a tape device. What happens if you do not have a tape device? We have the poor-man’s huge TB disks (SATA for the people) connected to simple PC systems, but no tape… We perform network-free seeding into disk. There is a utility called…
Following my experience with OracleVM, I am adding my post-install steps for your pleasure. These steps are not mandatory, by design, but will help you get up and running faster and easier. These steps are relevant to Oracle VM 2.2, but might work for older (and newer) versions as well. Define bonding You should read…
Assuming your storage is capable of replication, a bunch of VMs could be happily replicated to an alternate location, where you can start them on will (and on crisis, most likely). This procedure, in theory, is rather simple. I have discovered that it is less so, especially if your system goes into testing once a…
Oracle VM, out of the box, does not allow network bonds. An excellent guide on how to enable bonding which I have partially followed, has convinced me that changing the relevant scripts would be better. That I have done, and reported in this wiki post. To sum things up – configure bonding/VLAN tagging as you…
