  This is the NTP peer to peer connection steps: if we have 3 NTP servers all three are interconnect to each other and  they are syncing from the internet, Here are the steps of the connection.

Printer configuraion on Linux ========================           Printer configuration is very easy in Linux, We need to configure a printer on a linux server and from other servers which are conneted to the printer server can able to give priouts, print jobs, etc. Configuring of the printer HPleserjet/Zebra/cannon Etc. step-1 /etc/hosts Printername IP step-2 cupsaccept printer-name——–for enabling cupsenable printer-name Step-3 configuration of RAW printer: lpadmin -p printername -E -v socket://printername:9100 -m raw To add an HP LeserJet printer that is connected to the parallel port, you would type the following command: lpadmin -p LeserJet -E -v parallel:/dev/lp1 -m Leserjet.ppd Step-4 Verify that the printer is correctly configured. lpstat -p printer-name -l Stop and start Service cupsdisable printer-name——–stop cupsenable printer-name———start Verify the system’s default printer: lpadmin -d Delete t...

Note:--Some times you will get  vmuser  related issues in general VM servers. this is due to miss configurations of the file. Below are the steps to fix this issue. ======================================================= he /etc/init directory contains the configuration files. The vmware-tools script is in the /etc/init/vmware-tools.conf file. o work around this issue, you can manually start, stop, or restart VMware Tools with the commands: /etc/vmware-tools/services.sh start /etc/vmware-tools/services.sh stop /etc/vmware-tools/services.sh restart Note: You can also run the commands from the vmware-tools.conf file To verify the status of VMware Tools, use the command: status vmware-tools – Linux: /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf Put the following into the file: [logging] log = true # Enable tools service logging to vmware.log vmsvc.level = debug vmsvc.handler = vmx # Enable new “vmusr” service logging to vmware.log vmusr.level = error vmu...

If you do not mirror the root volume group, you have a single point of failure. Always mirror rootvg! I have seen too many unnecessary system rebuilds because rootvg was not mirrored. Mirroring rootvg is a straightforward process and consists of the following steps, in which we are going to mirror rootvg to a new disk called hdisk1: 1. Add hdisk1 to the rootvg for mirroring: # extendvg rootvg hdisk1 2. Use this command if all the rootvg logical volumes were created properly: # mirrorvg rootvg 3. Or (if a problem was encountered) manually mirror rootvg and do not mirror the dump device (lv00 in example): # lsvg # lsvg -l rootvg # lsvg rootvg 4. Mirror each logical volume: # for N in $(lsvg -l rootvg | grep syncd | awk ‘{print $1}’ | grep -v lv00) > do > echo $N > mklvcopy $N 2 > done 5. Sync the volume group: # syncvg -v rootvg # lsvg -l rootvg 6. Configure the boot devices: # ipl_varyon -i PVNAME BOOT DEVICE PVID VOLUME GROUP ID hdisk0 NO 00001047375ac230 00001...

ifenslave – Attach and detach slave network devices to a bonding device. Description ifenslave is a tool to attach and detach slave network devices to a bonding device. A bonding device will act like a normal Ethernet network device to the kernel, but will send out the packets via the slave devices using a simple round-robin scheduler. This allows for simple load-balancing, identical to “channel bonding” or “trunking” techniques used in switches. The kernel must have support for bonding devices for ifenslave to be useful. Options -a, –all-interfaces Show information about all interfaces. -c, –change-active Change active slave. -d, –detach Removes slave interfaces from the bonding device. -f Force actions to be taken if one of the specified interfaces appears not to belong to an Ethernet device. -h Display a help message and exit. -u Show usage information and exit. -v, –verbose Print warning and debug messages. -V, –version Show version information and exit. I...

1. Introduction ASM Disk is used by Oracle Database server. However, Unix team need to scan the new disk allocated to the server by Storage team and Label the new luns if required. Once the new disk/lun is visible in the server we will provide the details to Database Team so that they can add the disk into their Database. Implementation: Step 1: Scan the new Luns. Check how many Scsi hosts are available # ls –l /sys/class/scsi_host/ # echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan # echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan # echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host3/scan # echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host4/scan For fibre channel you have to scan like below. # echo “1” >/sys/class/fc_host/host0/issue_lip # echo “1” >/sys/class/fc_host/host1/issue_lip Step 2: Verify the new Lun with the LDEV number provided by Storage side. # multipath –ll | grep –I # /opt/osit/linux/bin/xpinfo -il | grep -i Step 3: Provide the new lun det...
