    Redhat, Mandrake or Debian???

    This may or may not be relevant, but RH 7.3 and 8.0 have a mediacheck option which allow you to verify the integrity if you burned a CD from a downloaded ISO. If the verification passes, you know that the media is fine, and the CD-ROM can read it correctly (I have had issues with 5-year old...

    RedHat 8.0 finds too many cpu's

    hi there MWillo - 2 or 4 CPU's? According to ZDNET: Hyperthreading--a performance-enhancing technology that lets one chip act something like two http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-963942.html your brand new server has HyperThreading technology in the CPU's, in which the amount of physycal CPU's...

    compaq smart array

    It's a pleasure to be able to share the knowledge. I I am glad to hear that running the online configs in Windows do not require a Proliant server. Perhaps this would even apply to Linux as well. W.r.t. your last question/remark: Since they are configured in BIOS, the O/S does not matter...

    compaq smart array

    using/buying a new controller should not make a difference of it working or not with the config tools (in Windows or in Linux) - AFAIK, though I would love to hear otherwise. However, most controllers sold in the pas 18 - 24 months have ROM-based setup tools, which means their BIOS lets you...

    Netware 6 error. Connection refused.

    Check out the following bulletin: http://www.legato.com/resources/bulletins/ 299: IP Naming in Heterogeneous Environments (UNIX | NT | NetWare | Windows 95) you should be able to ping and rpcinfo between the client and server with long and short names. = Riaan van Niekerk UNIX sysadmin...

    Network supports DVD ?

    NetWorker has its roots deeply within the Unix philosopy, and almost any device is treated as a file. However, a file device is a different kind of device from a tape device. My suggestion to you is to look at the Media type options (try creating a new device). DVD is not listed there, and the...

    Help! Read DLT-IV tape on SDLT drive fails

    this kind of cross-platform migration is not supported by NetWorker. There are all kinds of issues with big-endian vs little-endian hardware platforms. On the NetWorker mailing list (http://listmail.temple.edu/archives/networker.html) there were even guys who were unable to move NetWorker from...

    compaq smart array

    Since RH6.2, it had build-in support for Compaq RAID adapters (all but the 53xx series, which uses a newer cciss module). The module it uses is cpqarray, and should be automatically selected during installation. this link provides a list of all the supported options and distro's...

    Netware backup problem with rap.nlm

    I had the same problem when initially tweaking my networker setup. Make sure that the tispx is not commented out in SYS:\NSR\RPCNET.CFG, and is the first entry this fixed it in my case Riaan van Niekerk UNIX sysadmin Potchefstroom University South Africa

    Client 4.15 on Netware has to be restarted again and again...

    The latest version of the client for NetWare is 4.21, and is available at ftp://ftp.legato.com/pub/NetWorker/NetWare/4.21/ Do yourself a favour and try this version or the older 4.20 version. 4.15 and earlier are ancient, and probably not recommended with 5.1 SP3. Also, ensure that you are...

    Set Intel Pro 100 S Dual port ethernet speed from Linux

    hi there When working with Intel NICs, do yourself a big favour and use the e100 driver which Intel itself writes, rather than the old eepro100. It has a number of amazing features, which amongst others allow you to offload utilization/processing from the CPU to the NIC controller. It also...

    Removing library volumes from command line

    yes, nsrmm -d volumename if you do not want to confirm nsrmm -d -y volumename this also works for multiple volumes (unfortunately no wildcars) nsrmm -d -y vol1 vol2 etc Riaan van Niekerk UNIX sysadmin Potchefstroom University South Africa

    Is a 3C905-TX (Rev A) or 3C905-TX (Rev B) usable?

    We have tried a number of PC-flavour 3COM (including the one you have, I think) and a DEC21040 card in AIX 4.3.2, but upon reboot, AIX asks for a package name which does not exist. If you do not mind voiding the maintenance (if it is still on maintenance), try the card and try to find the...

    Problems with New Linux Host backup

    The Clientpak for Unix, Linux, Windows and NetWare are usually the same price. The Windows and Linux versions of the server are much cheaper than the Unix version (same with DB modules) Riaan van Niekerk UNIX sysadmin Potchefstroom University South Africa

    grub

    perhaps the Grub Manual might give you an idea of what could be wrong / where to look: http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub-0.90/html_mono/grub.html Riaan van Niekerk UNIX sysadmin Potchefstroom University South Africa

    ftp and telnet problem

    Are you trying to telnet as Root? By default, remote Root logins are disabled. You have one of three options: 1)Telnet as an unpriveleged user, su - root. FTP has no easy workaround - FTP as unpriveleged user, manipulate files via telnet. 2) mv /etc/securetty /etc/securetty.old (downgrades...
