[00:21] hi all [00:21] I am creating a small bash script to be invoked from cron. Where would a sysadmin expect to find such a file ? [00:23] MagicFab: if its tied to a deamon, then /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/lib. If its tied to a user, I'd recommend putting it in their home directory, $HOME/bin works. [00:23] MagicFab: I sould say, /usr/local/lib/daemon-name not /usr/local/lib directly [00:24] not, it's just a regular maintenance task - check if XYZ exists, then do ABC [00:24] /usr/local/bin is what I thought but yes, the guide mentions /home. tx.!

Should I put example.org as the system hostname, or does it have to have an arbitrary hostname that does not include the domain it sits on?

[19:38] saravanan, if you want the latest+speed+efficiency [19:39] could you please point me to such implementation references on XEN [19:39] fedora has packages for dom0 and hypervisor if you hunt for 3rd party repo [19:40] i need to support hypervisor too. [19:40] saravanan, search archives at xen-users@lists.xensource.com (mailing list) [19:40] so does ubuntu doesnt support ? [19:40] saravanan, ubuntu has no packages, but is the best platform to build and runn [19:42] and could you please suggest some tools/techniques to create virtual images? [19:42] or virtual appliances. [19:42] saravanan, xen tools (xm) and debootstrap/chroot does it all [19:43] saravanan, nearly all distros have xen aware netboot installs [19:46] ChmEarl, what open source tools used for creating virtual appliances for vmware?

But virt-manager wants to login as root always. I want to disable logging in as root to reduce attack surface on the server. Any idea of a workaround to this? [22:12] any system that does need to log in as root over SSH should be using strong, well-guarded keys to authenticate, not passwords [22:12] significantly reducing the attack surface [22:14] qman__: I'm already using public key authentication, but it's even more secure to prevent root logins over SSH at all. [22:15] of course, and it's even more secure to not allow remote logins at all ;) [22:15] it's a tradeoff, security versus convenience [22:16] if you need more protection, I'd suggest blocking direct connections to that server from the internet, and instead using SSH tunneling to a computer at the gateway [22:16] I'm not looking for something that extreme. My question is about alternative ways of authentication for libvirt. [22:17] Right now, libvirtd is the only service that *requires* a root login over SSH on the box. For anything else, I use SSL with trusted certificates. [22:17] I see just now that virt-manager allows you to create a connection to libvirt with SSL and X509 certs... hmm... I guess my question now is how to set that up on the server. :) === KurtKraut2 is now known as KurtKraut [22:44] how do i create a virtual hard drive in libvirt/kvm ? [22:46] in, or for? you generally use qemu-img [22:46] qemu-img create -f qcow my_hd.img 10G [22:47] bah, i meant for :) [22:47] Then you can mostly 'virsh edit ' and copy-paste the disk section to hook in the new disk [22:47] heh, just making sure :) [22:49] vi!? This has to be fixed [22:49] doesn't it just use $VISUAL? [22:50] probably [22:50] so replace it with ed and be happy :-) [22:50] benedikt: if you can get libvirt connected to virt-manager, you can create the HDD graphically... although I don't think virt-manager is yet as flexible as virsh, so YMMV. [22:50] i was thinking more along the lines of emacs :P [22:51] yeah i dont' know that you can use virt-manager to hook in virtio disks yet, in particular [22:51] allquixotic: i connected with virt-manager but it doesn't seem to have any 'add hardware' features [22:51] I just asked a question about libvirt though; I'm setting up mine so that it only allows clients with signed X.509 certs (signed from the local CA) to connect [22:51] benedikt: Which version of Ubuntu? [22:51] allquixotic: lucid [22:51] Same here... 10.04.1 Server [22:51] when I connect to the remote libvirtd using virt-manager (also on lucid), I can create hard disks for kvm graphically [22:52] it prompts you for the size and image type and all [22:52] allquixotic: where? I didnt see it. [22:52] benedikt: it was when I first created the VM... although I'd think the same feature would be available with an extant VM [22:52] provided you shut it down first [22:52] can't add hardware to a running VM afaik [22:53] benedikt: iirc you switch to 'edit VM' in the top menu of the window where you have the VM's screen up, and on the left there is 'add hardware' [22:53] ah yes, you have to view the details of the VM [22:53] then it lists the hardware pieces sorta like how VMware Server / VirtualBox do [22:53] *cough* it might be a good idea to shut down the vm first [22:53] how can i set a higher priority on a process [22:53] hehe, you had to shutdown and now you can add new disk? :) [22:53] basso: renice [22:54] (giveit a lower #) [22:54] thx hallyn [22:55] np [23:01] hallyn: the image i created with qemu-img keeps on growing after i created it [23:01] benedikt: yes, it'll keep growing as you fill it up, up to whatever size you specified [23:02] hm [23:02] meh, thats maybe not a bad idea [23:12] hallyn: is it usable until it has reached the size? [23:18] benedikt: hm? of course. if i understand you correctly [23:18] then it was a classic case of the pebkac [23:19] why? did it break? [23:19] the vm froze when i created the partition with fdisk [23:27] jinkeys [23:27] i've not actually had that happen. Did you add it with the virt-manager gui, or virsh edit, or something else? [23:27] virsh edit [23:35] can you put the output of a 'virsh dump ' on paste.ubuntu.com? (or, is it working now?) [23:36] hallyn: i just forced it off and tried again [23:39] http://i.imgur.com/zUwRr.png [23:39] it doesnt look too bright right now [23:43] benedikt: i wanted to see the xml definition of the vm [23:43] i konw, but thats not the problem :) [23:44] oh - what is? [23:45] thats the outbput from mkfs [23:45] what is the problem i meant? [23:45] something is corrupt [23:46] not sure what yet [23:46] Interesting - i've not seen the like [23:46] im trying to create a disk on a different hard drive on the host machine [23:47] its new and completely unused so it might be corrupted, but id have thought mkfs would have shown that when i partitioned it [23:54] when formatting it stops on inode 42 and spits out kernel messages [23:54] crated the disk with virt-manager and attached it with virt-manager this time [23:54] oh wait, it got to inode 63 now [23:58] seems to work much better when i create the vdisk on the same physical disk as the vm [23:58] I modified /etc/default/libvirt-bin to pass the --listen flag (I want libvirt to listen for SSL) but it won't... any ideas what I need to do differently? [23:59] it looks like Upstart does not read /etc/default/libvirt-bin [23:59] because libvirt is still started with `/usr/sbin/libvirtd -d' [23:59] no --listen
