Well, I’m setting up spam/virus filter at the moment. Somewhere I found, that when doing so one should enable soft_bounce=yes in your /etc/postfix/main.cf. Now, once I finished setting up my mailing setup, I wanted to manually force the delivery. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 # Check for mails still in the mail-queue root:(eris.heimdaheim.de/mailing) PWD:~ Wed Jun 19, 17:57:10 [0] > mailq -Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient------- B404F1B42C 2751 Wed Jun 19 17:58:01 christian.th.heim@gmail.com (user unknown) christian@heimdaheim.de C250F1B427 2770 Wed Jun 19 17:53:31 christian.th.heim@gmail.com (lost connection with 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] while receiving the initial server greeting) christian@heimdaheim.de -- 6 Kbytes in 2 Requests. Now, if you fixed the mail delivery, you just need to enter the following: ...

Now, since we’re using bridged routing, we need to adjust the guest. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 78.46.37.114 netmask 255.255.255.255 pointopoint 78.46.37.118 gateway 78.46.37.118 post-up ping -c2 78.46.37.118 &>/dev/null iface eth0 inet6 static address 2a01:4f8:110:3148::5 netmask 64 gateway 2a01:4f8:110:3148::2 post-up ping6 -c2 2a01:4f8:110:3148::2 &>/dev/null This’ll take care of the bridged routing and the ICMPv6 announcement to the host. Without the ping/ping6, guest and host won’t be able to communicate (no clue why).

Firstoff, adjust the /etc/network/interfaces file to look like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 # device: eth0 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 78.46.37.118 netmask 255.255.255.255 gateway 78.46.37.97 pointopoint 78.46.37.97 iface eth0 inet6 static address 2a01:4f8:110:3148::2 netmask 64 gateway fe80::1 auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 78.46.37.118 netmask 255.255.255.255 bridge_ports none bridge_stp off bridge_fd 0 post-up ip route add 78.46.37.108/32 dev vmbr0 post-up ip route add 78.46.37.110/32 dev vmbr0 post-up ip route add 78.46.37.114/32 dev vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet6 static address 2a01:4f8:110:3148::2 netmask 64 post-up ip -6 neigh add proxy 2a01:4f8:110:3148::3 dev eth0 post-up ip -6 neigh add proxy 2a01:4f8:110:3148::4 dev eth0 post-up ip -6 neigh add proxy 2a01:4f8:110:3148::5 dev eth0 post-up ip -6 neigh add proxy 2a01:4f8:110:3148::6 dev eth0 post-up ip -6 neigh add proxy 2a01:4f8:110:3148::7 dev eth0 post-up ip -6 neigh add proxy 2a01:4f8:110:3148::8 dev eth0 post-up ip -6 neigh add proxy 2a01:4f8:110:3148::9 dev eth0 Secondly, adjust you KVM guest network config to look like this (similar, you might want to replace the MAC address of the guest): ...

Create a file /autosetup in the rescue system, that may (or may not) look like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 DRIVE1 /dev/sda DRIVE2 /dev/sdb SWRAID 1 SWRAIDLEVEL 1 BOOTLOADER grub HOSTNAME nyx PART /boot ext2 512M PART swap swap 12G PART lvm vg0 all LV vg0 root / ext3 5G LV vg0 home /home ext3 50G LV vg0 usr /usr ext3 10G LV vg0 tmp /tmp ext3 5G LV vg0 var /var ext3 5G IMAGE /root/.oldroot/nfs/install/../images/Debian-70-wheezy-64-minimal.tar.gz

Well, I’ve been tinkering with KVM the last few days and I’ve been stuck accessing the KVM guests (as the guests are running on a host I don’t have my Xorg server running on). After a bit of searching, I actually found what I was looking for. Piecing together from both sources, to connect to a KVM host, that has SSH running on a different port: 1 virt-viewer --connect qemu+ssh://root@kvm.home.barfoo.org:222/system guest

Today I looked at my ADSL router and had a flashback about five years ago. Back then I was working for the university and used a dual line ISDN link for internet which had about the same bandwidth as my ADSL currently has … After that experience I know how people must feel in some areas where internet isn’t as advanced as my normal 2MBit ADSL line … Loading YouTube or even a simple forum is a real waiting game (took me about two minutes to load up a hit out of Google), and I even attest myself a dependency on even normal ADSL (not one of that superfast 32MBit lines - just 2MBit). ...

Well, we’ve been battling with a KVM bug in our UCS installation, that’s been driving me (and apparently the Cisco L3 support and development) nuts. But lets back up a bit. If you’ve worked with UCS before, once you open up the KVM console you’ll see the KVM and a shortcut commands (Shutdown, Reset) and another tab that allows you to mount virtual media. Once you open it up, it should look like this: ...

Well, a coworker of mine asked me about this. Since I didn’t know (yeah, I don’t know everything) I went to my trusted friend - Google - and searched for it. There seems to be a lot of confusion about this, so I thought I’d clarify this. I ended up putting a license to one of my hosts in vCenter. Yeah well, the host has a bit more memory than the allowed 32GB vRAM per Socket (the host has two sockets) - thus you’re allowed to have 64GB RAM if your host has two sockets.

Well, for the past two months I had a case open with NetApp to figure out this SnapVault replication issue we were seeing. The initial transfer of the SnapVault relation would complete with a hick up, manual snapshot transfers also work - just the scheduled, auto-created Snapshots won’t replicate. At first I (and the NetApp support) thought this was an issue with SnapVault itself, however after being away for the last four weeks I looked at the issue with fresh eyes. After a short peek into the logs, I found what I had found back when I first looked into this. ...
