configure the grub boot entry accordingly

  1. vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
    1. Allow for the host to have 256MB
      1. Go to the very bottom
      2. Remove the two entries that look like this:
        title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-686
        root            (hd0,0)

Data and Storage

If you mess up rewrite everything by typing this in the server prompt: xen-create-image – -hostname=vm09 – -mac=00:16:3E:2E:C0:09 – -role=udev - –dhcp - –force

RAID, an acronym for Redundant array of inexpensive disks or sometimes Redundant array of independent disks, is a technology that allows high levels of storage reliability from low-cost and less reliable PC-class disk-drive components, via the technique of arranging the devices into arrays for redundancy.

  1. From vmserver01 → command: xm shutdown vm09
  2. Command: xm list (to verificate)
  3. Command: cd /xen/domains/vm09
  4. Command: dd if=/dev/zero of=disk1.img bs=1M count=1024
  5. Repeat previous step 5 times while replacing disks with an incremented count up to 5
  6. Command: vi /xen/conf/vm09.cfg
  7. Copy/paste the line with 'file:/xen/domains/vm06/disk.img,xvda2,w', 5 times and put int the count of numbers after disk as well as after xvda
  8. Command: xm create -c /xen/conf/vm09.cfg
  9. Command: aptitude install mdadm
  10. Continue: yes

Raid 0 (striped raid)

  1. Command: mdadm –create –verbose /dev/md0 –level=0 –raid-device=5 /dev/xvda3 /dev/xvda4 /dev/xvda5 /dev/xvda6 /dev/xvda7
  2. Command: cat /proc/mdstat
  3. Command: mkfs.ext3 -v /dev/md0 (formats md0 found from previous step)
  4. Command: mount /dev/md0 /mnt

Raid 1 (Mirroring)

  1. Command: mdadm –create /dev/md0 –level=1 –raid-devices=4 –spare-devices=1 /dev/xvda3 /dev/xvda4 /dev/xvda5 /dev/xvda6 /dev/xvda7
  2. Command: cat /proc/mdstat
  3. Command: mkfs.ext3 -v /dev/md0
  4. Command: mount /dev/md0 /mnt

Raid 5 (Striped set with distributed parity)

  1. Command: mdadm - -create - -verbose /dev/md0 - -chunk=64 - -level=5 - -raid-devices=5 /dev/xvda3 /dev/xvda4 /dev/xvda5 /dev/xvda6 /dev/xvda7
  2. Command: mkfs.ext3 -v /dev/md0 (formats md0 found from previous step)
  3. Command: mount /dev/md0 /mnt

+++Raiding Notes+++

To unmount:

  • Command: umount “path” ie (and in our case): umount /dev/md0

To take raid offline:

  • Command: mdadm –stop /dev/md0

To zero out drives

  • Command: mdadm –zero -superblock /dev/xvda3 (repeat but replace the # in xvda# by incrementing from 3 to 7

Notes







if a VM gets taken down do this:



    

  •  Command: xm create -c /xen/conf/vm09.cfg → ^] → ssh root@vm09.student.lab
    

    •

To sign into a VM type: ssh root@vm06.student.lab – Password: bob


But we used 09 - Password: bob
