Newbie server admin here... I have a question about setting up dns settings. On my local machine I go to "network settings -> hosts" tab to add a new entry in the dns settings. What should I read up on to learn how to do this on a remote server? [20:34] This is on a Slicehost server btw, if that helps. [20:37] Sorry if my question seems dumb but I am just today trying to set up a virtual host and I am looking for good info on the correct way to add dns settings on a remote server. Before today I have only worked on my local machine. [20:37] hi...I need to run a script every 30secs...is there a cron like tool to do this? [20:39] <_ruben> m_tadeu: to crontab entries, * * * * * yourscript, and * * * * * sleep 30 && yourscript, nasty but works ;) [20:39] s /to/two/ [20:39] <_ruben> packetloss ;) [20:40] :) [20:40] <_ruben> and s/ // for you ;) [20:40] _ruben: :) [20:41] <_ruben> Dobuntu: what do you mean by "add dns settings"? [20:41] well, on my local machine, after I get the vhost set up I go to network settings -> hosts tab to route the name to the localhost. [20:42] I am just looking for how to accomplish dns setings on a remote server [20:42] I think I may have found something though [20:42] <_ruben> Dobuntu: sounds like altering the /etc/hosts file, which would only apply to the host itself, not for external requests [20:43] yes I need to create a dns entry for a new domain on my slicehost slice. So I presume it needs to work for external requests ;-) [20:44] <_ruben> depends on how dns is handled for your (new) domain [20:45] well I am sharing space with other sites in one slice as it were [20:45] does that help? Please forgive me I am very new to server admin [20:45] I just found out today that I need to set up a real server by Saturday! [20:45] <_ruben> which dns entry do you want to create ? [20:46] but I have a series of steps that work on the local machine and I am told will work on remote as well, save for the dns bit [20:47] Just one to allow people to type http://example.com and go to my Drupal site in the proper folder [20:48] How many people? [20:48] <_ruben> depending on who maintains the dns servers for "example.com", you'll need to contact them (or their control panel) to make the changes [20:48] so there is no less dirty solution to run a script every X seconds or every X minutes? [20:48] Um, well the site is just going to be a dev site where I help teach some people how to work with Drupal [20:48] <_ruben> m_tadeu: there's alternative cron implementations that do per second 'accuracy' i think [20:49] _ruben: what is it? [20:49] <_ruben> m_tadeu: dunno any names of specific ones, but i know they're out there ;) [20:50] I guess I simply need to map an ip addy to a hostname === lifeless_ is now known as lifeless [20:50] In help.ubuntu I see some info there so perhaps I am already looking at what I need to learn [20:52] <_ruben> Dobuntu: the procedure for a single local host is quite different compared to a hostname that should be resolvable on the internet [20:52] m_tadeu: see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/seting-cron-to-run-a-script-every-second-425623/#post3319818 for the "hack" [20:53] I figured it would be vastly different. If you could point me to a help doc or something where I could learn the process I would be very grateful. [20:54] <_ruben> Dobuntu: it depends a fair bit on who maintains the domain's dns servers, most dns providers offer a web interface to make changes. do you even have (purchased) a domain yet btw? :) [20:55] I have domains that I can map to yes [20:55] though I did forget that when setting up the new addy [20:55] which will need to be purchased [20:55] or I will scrap that and just use a subdomain [20:59] <_ruben> figure out which domain you'll use, then contact the appropriate registrar (the party where you bought the domain), and ask them how to do dns record changes [21:01] thanks _ruben for your input. I realize that it would probably be best for me to take care of the new name rather than scrap what I have already done. I will come back to this later on. Thanks again! [21:01] I added the vhost before purchasing the name as you so rightly pointed out! [21:01] what can I say im a total newbie! [21:02] <_ruben> gotta start somewhere to get rid of that status ;) [21:02] awesome... I will be working on it. [21:02] thanks again [21:02] <_ruben> np :) [21:10] Hi guys. Having an issue with mdadm and raid 0 on AWS. I'm using chef to create a raid 0 array of 10 drives. I then shut down the instance attached to the drives (EBS volumes) start a new one, and use "madam --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdi1 ... /dev/sdi10" 90% of the time this works. Occasionally I get "failed to add /dev/sdix to /dev/md0: Device or resource busy" or "bad superblock on device /dev/sdx" Yet if I wait a few [21:11] <_ruben> raid0 over partitions on a single drive ?? [21:11] <_ruben> (never used aws tho) [21:12] Correct, I create the block devices which are basically empty hd's [21:12] <_ruben> partitions arent disks [21:12] <_ruben> oh, and you line got cut off at "if I wait a few" [21:12] heh - setup 10 partitions and run raid0 over them and wait for the final prize [21:13] _ruben: thanx [21:13] Yet if I wait a few minutes and run it again, it will either work or I'll get a different error. This is server 10.10 64 bit. *then I create the raid array with this command "mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=10 /dev/sdi1 .... /dev/sdi10" And it's worked for data storage [21:13] toddnine: for a start - use LTS releases for servers [21:14] RoyK: Ok, so use 10.04 instead [21:14] <_ruben> could very well be an aws specific issue, some race condition for instance, or setup delay [21:14] <_ruben> or wait a bit for 12.04 ;) [21:14] That's what I thought too. I was seeing it directly after attach [21:15] toddnine: as a second, using 10 drives for striping may perform well, but it's rather chancy - when one of them dies, the whole raid set goes down [21:15] however I left these drives attached and un assembled for 24 hours [21:15] came in this morning and it won't assemble [21:16] <_ruben> presumably aws' storage has redundancy underneath it... [21:16] that's ok, it's for cassandra data. It's replicated to another node locally, and another node halfway around the world. If I have to re-create it, it's not a big deal, but this issue has been plaguing us for a month now and it's driving me nuts! [21:16] toddnine: just don't do it - period [21:16] <_ruben> or get nike, then you can just do it ;) [21:17] RoyK: It's the recommended setup for squeezing the best performance out of Cassandra :). Like I said, it's replicated at the service tier, so I'm not as worried about data loss since it exists on 3 nodes in 2 DCs [21:17] _ruben: if you're stupid enouh [21:18] however, this random fail, then wait 10 minutes and it works is making me nervous. I either expect it to fail consistently, or work consistently [21:18] toddnine: i'd use zfs for that [21:19] Can I pause and snapshot it like xfs? [21:20] We use that for fast backups of the block storage raid devices [21:20] Ahh, got old wikipedia [21:20] <_ruben> is zfs in linux even ready for production? [21:21] <_ruben> which reminds me, still gotta take nexentastor for a test drive [21:21] _ruben: Any ideas what may be going on? [21:23] Yeah, after a reboot now it's telling me that /dev/sdi6 has a bad superblock. Wait 5 minutes and it works [21:23] really frustrating.... [21:23] <_ruben> toddnine: not really, tho it wouldn't surprise me if it's pretty asw/esb specific [21:24] <_ruben> could be that the aws/esb backends are lagging behind or something, dunno really ;) [21:24] My mechanism for creating the raid from physical devices is correct right? It's been working for a month or so, we've only recently started having issues [21:24] <_ruben> no obvious errors there at elast [21:24] <_ruben> least [21:24] plus mdadm -E /dev/sdi6 shows it's fine. [21:26] then assemble. works. time to head over to the AWS forums :) [21:26] Thanks for your help guys [21:26] oh one last question [21:27] in order to attach these disks to a new server instance, do I need to add any special meta data storage parameters to the mdadm create ? [21:28] <_ruben> don't think so, if i understand correctly what you're trying to say that is :) [21:28] Yeah, 10 disks on instance A. Kill instance A then start instance B. Assemble the same 10 disks on instance B [21:29] <_ruben> if the partition types are raid autodetect, and the meta data is there, it should be fine [21:29] <_ruben> if there's lvm on top of it, you'll need to import that tho [21:30] Nah. Just Xfs for fast snapshots. If I need a larger array I'll just creat ea new array and copy the data over [21:31] _ruben: cool.
