Virtualization and something more...
A workstation is a computer that is configured to run knife, to synchronize with the chef-repo, and interact with a single Chef server. The workstation is the location from which most users will do most of their work.
We need ti install on our workstation:
Today we will install chef server in our home lab based on proxmox 3.4.6. So we have installed server 2cpu, 2Gb memory, Centos 6.7
First of all I switched off selinux, and configured hostname of server in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts
Let's go on:
#wget https://web-dl.packagecloud.io/chef/stable/packages/el/6/chef-server-core-12.1.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -Uvh chef-server-core-12.1.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
# chef-server-ctl reconfigure
The host upgrade from ESXi 5.5 to ESXi 6.0 failed with the following error: „Cannot execute upgrade script on host“.
Today I received error on my vm summary page in Vsphere web client: The data service timed out because a back-end task took more than 120 seconds. See the vsphere-client-virgo.log for more details.
Just before that I removed a test vcenter server, which was connected to my PSC on production Vsphere instance.
You need to remove a stale vCenter Server from your SSO environment, use the cmsso-util. It may takes a long time but does the job.
I have several command line scripts to MySQL databases for zabbix statistic. These scripts set the password on the command line using the -p option.
With MySQL 5.6, a new warning is displayed every time my scripts run:
If you want to monitor some parameters in mysql database, you can do it with ODBC monitoring in Zabbix.
ODBC monitoring corresponds to the Database monitor item type in the Zabbix frontend.
ODBC is a C programming language middle-ware API for accessing database management systems (DBMS). The ODBC concept was developed by Microsoft and later ported to other platforms.
Today I want to try provisioning and configuring Amazon AWS instances with Chef. To do that I have:
More and more people reconfigured their sites to ssl connection. So I decided to use ssl certificate and secure connection on my blogs too.
The Chinese CA WoSign offers free SSL certificates which are valid for 2 years and may contain up to 100 domains each (multi-domain/SAN/UCC) which is very useful to host various domains on one single IP address (Better option than SNI if you still have Windows XP clients). Before you stop reading because you don't trust a Chinese company for your website encryption please keep in mind that you don't have to trust them at all! You generate the SSL key on your server and only send them the CSR (certificate signing request) which doesn't contain any private information.
Today we need to get a wildcard SSL certificate into a Java Keystore format. First copy everything you need to a /tmp folder. There are gd_bundle.crt , domain.com.crt and domain.com.key
Hi. One of my clients use proxmox virtualization in Production. So I need to move one service machine created for them from vmware to proxmox. As for me the most simple way is to use VMWare Converter. Lets try.
My vm configuration on esxi.
