Installation Notes

• Centos requires the Adaptec module to be installed during the install process in order to see the local raid

http://ask.adaptec.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17150

• The Mellonx 10G card needs a drive compiled and installed (make sure gcc, make, rpm_build_tools etc is installed!). The install files are in the homedir of root.
• BIOS is password locked with password
• Adaptec Raid Controller is password locked with password
• Full yum update performed - 21.11.2013
• Mellonx En driver doesn't load on it's own at start up. Fix this by adding the following to /etc/rc.local - modprobe mlx4_en
• Installed Megacli to talk to the LSI raid controller - rpm -ivh MegaCli-8.07.08-1.noarch.rpm
• Disable selinux - it's not supported with zfs at the moment.

LSI Controller Admin

We will use MegaCLI to communicate with the LSI controller

https://calomel.org/megacli_lsi_commands.html

 lsi.sh help

The controller is set to mail alerts. This is done via the root crontab

00   */2  *   *   *   /usr/local/bin/lsi.sh checkNemail

Stereo xorg.conf - Centos playback machine to a Barco DP90 using SDI

=== Playback Hardware ====

The playback machine in the theater is called rodoric. It has 2 SSD 500GB drives, hardware raided.

  /dev/sda1             937G  614G  277G  69% /ssd

The graphics card is a Nvidia 4000. It has 3 connections, only two are in use at one time.

  * In Mono mode it will use a DVI to the KVM extender, and a DVI to a DVI-Ramp which in turn converts it's signal to SDI into the Barco (Input A)
  * In Stereo mode it will output Left and Right eye signals using both display ports through DVI into a single DVI-Ramp which in turn converts it's signals to SDI into the Barco (SDI input A and B)

Users can switch between Stereo and Mono using the xorgswitch file below.

=== Xorg Switch ===

Type xorgswitch in a terminal to switch between Stereo and Mono Display modes
xorgswitch

#!/bin/bash

#switch the xorg files for stereo and regular playback

Find duplicates in bash

find_dupes.sh

 #! /bin/bash
OUTF=rem-duplicates.sh;
echo "#! /bin/sh" > $OUTF;
echo ""                >> $OUTF;
find "$@" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 md5sum | sort --key=1,32 | uniq -w 32 -d --all-repeated=separate | sed -r 's/^[0-9a-f]*( )*//;s/([^a-zA-Z0-9./_-])/\\\1/g;s/(.+)/#rm \1/' >> $OUTF;
chmod a+x $OUTF

Run the script:

./find_dupes.sh /path/to/check .\

Which will output a file called rem-duplicates.sh which can then be edited as you wish.

How to setup a reverse ssh tunnel

Ever wanted to know how you can ssh into your work desktop/server? Well do not worry any longer.....

1. All you need to do is create a reverse tunnel from your Work Desktop/Server to your home server.
   
   
   • ssh -nNT -R 5000:local_server:22 username@remote_server
   • Now from the remote_server run this
     ssh -p5000 localhost.... now we are in our work desktop/server.
2. Lets brake this down a bit..
   
   
   • The -n option Redirects stdin from /dev/null. This must be used when ssh is run in the background.
   • The -N option does not execute a remote command. This is useful for just forwarding ports.
   • The -T option disables pseudo-tty allocation.
   • The -R option does tha job of setting up the reverse tunnel.
   • Port 5000 is the port that will be listening on the remote_server (this can be any random port over 1024, if you want to run this as a non-root user).
   • local_server is the desktop/server that you are creating the connection from.
   • Port 22 is the port that you are making the ssh connection to.
   • user_name@remote_server is where you are making the ssh connection to for the reverse tunnel.
We need to make sure we keep this connection open.
• In /etc/ssh/sshd_config we need to make sure this is set TCPKeepAlive yes.\

Running a script as root

The problem:

In theory, running a script as it's owner (in our case root) is simple, all you have to do is set the 'setuid' bit (sometimes mistakenly called the 'sticky' bit) by using 'chmod 4755' (or chmod 4***, depending on what mode you need). The problem is, that the 'setuid' bit functionality has been disabed on most Linux based distros for security reasons. This affects only scripts, not compiled code which should still work.

Solutions:

binary wrapper

The 'setuid' bit still works for compiled files. So what you can do is write a little c wrapper that will execute the script you want to run as root.

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    setuid( 0 );
    string cmd = "/opt/local/cmd.sh";
    for (int i = 1; i < argc; i++) {
        string arg (argv[i]);
        cmd += " ";
        cmd += arg;
    }
    int exitcode;
    exitcode = system(cmd.c_str());
    return WEXITSTATUS(exitcode);
}

Safe this as 'runscript.c', then compile and do the following:

gcc runscript.c -o runscript
sudo chown root:root runscript
sudo chmod 4750 runscript

You should now be able to run this command as root.

sudo wrapper

Add the following line to your sudoers file, with 'group' being the group you want to give access to your script.

group    ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/script

Then write a wrapper, executing you script with sudo.

sudo /path/to/script

Also your script will have to perform a 'setuid(0)' to make sure that all child processes are executed as root.

A couple of things to note:

• it's not enough to do 'chmod 4***' on the binary, you also have to use 'setuid' inside the code.
• an additional problem on Mac OS X is, that by default the 'setuid' bit is disabled on NFS mounts.

x forward session with xdmcp

XDMCP allows logging into a remote host, but displaying the desktop on your own host.

1) edit /etc.gdm/custom.conf

[xdmcp]
Enable=true

[security]
DisallowTCP=false
AllowRemoteRoot=true

2) restart X (telinit 3; telinit 5)

3) login as root and run:

gdmsetup

4) On the remote tab, change 'style' to 'same as local'

5) On the security tab, tick 'allow local system administrator login' and 'allow local system administrator login'

6) restart X

To test, log off your host, and press F10 in the login GDM login window. You can enter the name of the remote host to login too here.

Forward user x sessions

When logging into a remote host as root, you lose the ability to forward x sessions after an su to another user.

To allow x-forwarding after you perform an su, you need to request the cookie for the current server:

ssh root@somehost

xauth list

returns:

 somehost.somedomain/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  d9fc3512df83a70ea8054dff21f58e28

Now, su to the user:
 

su - someuser

xauth add somehost.somedomain/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  d9fc3512df83a70ea8054dff21f58e28

now x apps will forward correctly - test with xterm.

20MB Boot Floppy Image

These days BIOS and IPMI (and other no doubt) updates are getting larger.

Most of the boot floppies you can download are 1.4MB which makes upgrading some firmware modules difficult when PXE booting as the images wont fit.

I was able to build a 20MB image using these commands.

wget http://itblog.su/downloads/W98SE_R.img
rpm -ivh ms-sys-2.2.0-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.img bs=1024 count=20000
mkdosfs floppy.img
ms-sys -1 -f floppy.img
mount -o loop floppy.img /mnt/floppy
mount /W98SE_R.img /mnt/dos
cp /mnt/dos/* /mnt/floppy/
umount /mnt/dos/

IPMI Upgrade through PXE

The Supermicro nodes have IPMI modules built in. These can be accessed using either the dedicated IPMI NIC, or by sharing the primary NIC with the host OS. We have chosen to use the shared option to reduce cabling.

Out of the box the machines came with a version of IPMI that didn't work for us so we had to update the IMPI firmware using the yafukcs utility.

The standard approach is to perform this via USB key but due to the number of nodes this is not practical. Therefore I created a freedos image containing the required firmware and configuration files that can be PXE booted to the nodes in one go.

This process saves around 4 days of manual labour. We still have to manually gather the MAC addresses of the new IPMI interfaces and add them to DHCP, but there are ways we can speed this process up using FDB in the switches.

Once we have our bootable image we add the required firmware update files

yafukcs.exe -full X8DTT_~1.IMA 

Although it was quicker to update only the required modules using the -auto option we had better success with re-updating all the modules using the -full option.

2.bat

ipmicfg.exe -m
ipmicfg.exe -dhcp on
ipmicfg.exe -dhcp
ipmicfg.exe -r 

Once we run the update we configure IPMI with ipmicfg.exe to DHCP and very importantly perform a BMC cold reset. Then we add the image to the PXE config on our boot server (puppet in this case)

The relevant lines in the /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/

LABEL Supermicro IPMI Firmware Update
KERNEL /sysresccd/isolinux/memdisk
APPEND initrd=/sysresccd/isolinux/floppy.img 

And copy the image (floppy.img) to /var/lib/tftpboot/sysresccd/isolinux/

We can now boot into the new image to ensure it works by selecting the new menu option from the PXE boot menu.

CCOMTB - 2011 - Round 1

Status: Finished
Grade: B

What a race, and what a turn out! It looked like there were about 15 people in A grade alone. Great Nobmob turn out too, hopefully those that haven't been before can see what a great race it is and will attend some more. Well done to Ray for what looked like 5th place in A grade - what a demon. Logan, hope your cuts heal OK, they looked pretty nasty but nothing a pommy victory at the cricket wouldn't solve eh?

I started at the back of the pack in B grade, and had great fun once I decided to back the first lap pace off a bit. No idea what place I came, Gazza said I came in after him but I can't see how, I felt like I was pretty coozie on the last 2 laps. I was expecting to blow up hard given that I've been zero training since the new little man was born (who has great quad development at 7 weeks old incidentally) but I felt in pretty good shape. I had a chance to ride behind a 29er for some of it, those bikes certainly seem to make sense at a track like Ourimbah, he was certainly rolling over the rough stuff and making it look easy.

No events really.. big traffic jam at the top of the drop on the first lap, looks like someone didn't ride the lap before hand , I lost the rear end on Small meadows, I couldn't get rid of the smile in the grave yard, oh and I loved the end of the the roller coaster now that it misses magic carpet. It sounds like magic carpet is about to get some pretty choice upgrades - can't wait for round 2.
