Kernel Config for Server

Arch's default kernel config is well suited to desktop performance, but what about the server? Ubuntu server lists these items on their Kernel Features page:
* The Server Edition uses the Deadline I/O scheduler instead of the CFQ scheduler used by the Desktop Edition.
* Pre-emption is turned off in the Server Edition.
* The timer interrupt is 100 Hz in the Server Edition and 250 Hz in the Desktop Edition.
* The Server Edition is optimised for i686 processors while the Desktop Edition is optimised for both the i586 and i686.
* Virtualization is better supported in the Server Edition through the enabling of IPC namespaces.
* Multiple routing tables for the IPv6 protocol are also supported in the Server Edition.
* For 32-bit systems the Server Edition is configured to use PAE which allows addressing up to 64GB of memory while the Desktop Edition is configured for 4GB.
So if you were making a "Server Edition" of Arch, what would you change?

imho, with all my respect to arch as a great desktop distribution, i would not run arch on any production server.

Kernel config for Transcend IDE Flash Module

I'm trying to build a minimal custom kernel for my set-top-box (very limited ressources), which I use as home server.
From a recent Arch Live (USB-stick) the Transcend Flash SSD (4GB, 40pin IDE) gets detected as /dev/sda (by the "sd"-driver, I think). The Problem now is that I can't find the kernel settings and always get a kernel panic because it can't find the root device.
Here's the data I have:

The kernel configuration I tried can be found here (from another box running Gentoo).
Any suggestions how I could find the right driver?
Thanks in advance,
lynix

Although I have compiled a custom kernel w/o any kind of automatic support, and it worked, I REALLY don' think that it is worth the effort. In the wiki it recommends: zcat /proc/config.gz > .config (from within the kernel directory), and I strongly recommend it as well. All it does is copy some information from your existing kernel into your .config, which vastly improves your odds of having a working kernel right off the bat. I would compile that, verify that it works, and from that point start taking out modules that you are confident have nothing to do with your system. (don't forget to select your processor type, and deselect smp if you don't have smp)
I know that it is dissappointing and you'd like to perfect your kernel in one go, but I really think that in the long run, this is your best option. I don't think that you are going to find anyone who is willing to take the time to tell you what options you personally need to compile in or as modules for you, however, there will be plenty of people who are willing to help.
I know that there are even smarter solutions, including scripts that can supposedly configure a kernel based on the modules and options that are already loaded, but I think results are mixed. Although, they might make a great starting point. I think (but could be wrong) that gentoo's 'genkernel' worked like that. Though I've used it years ago, I don't think that I fully understood how it worked at the time.
If you are dead set on minimizing all of the options that you compile for your kernel manually, your tools are lspci, lsmod, cat /proc* etc. You can save the output, figure out what options correspond with that output, and hope for the best!
Good luck

[solved] kernel configuration for clarkdale server

Update: I guess since the arch kernel config works there's really nothing to improve.
Hey everyone,
i'm about to compile a kernel for a server with intel clarkdale hardware, intel i3-530.
Up to now i only compiled kernels for my consumer laptop.
1) Is there any option in particular i should pay attention to when compiling a kernel for a server system?
And regarding the i3-530:
2) Should i just pick x86 generic cpu support or something else?
3) Are there any patches right now to improve support for clarkdale?
Thanks,
demian
P.S.: I guess i should choose 2.6.33-rc7 since real clarkdale support is supposed to come with 2.6.33? Usually i just pick the latest stable version.

thanks for your rapid response and i googled about it, but unfortunatelly i dont have a gigLan in the lab but usually all file transfered exceed 5GB of size.
Would the scheduler have a significant impact on performance? The servers are used individually (not sharing load like in a bewoulf cluster)
The disk I/O operations are mostly about writes into the output files (a few number of bytes per write), would reiserfs be superior to ext3 ?
PS.: i'm feeling really stupid for not reading more about the kernel26-lts for it has all the major options i was thinking about.

SAP ECC 6.0 Kernel Upgrade for 32 bit Win2003 Server

Dear All,
    We are in the process of updating kernel patch (Unicode) in our Solution Manager system which is running on - 32 bit Xeon processor - Win2003 server.
When we download kernel patch from SAP Market place, there lists kernel patch only for IA32-32-bit (Windows Server on IA32 32bit), but not for x86-32 bit.
But in the case of 64 bit, we can find both for xeon and itanium processor ( ie., Windows Server on IA64 64bit,   Windows Server on x64 64bit )
I quite confused to select the correct kernel patch for our 32 bit Xeon processor.
Could anybody help me in this regard ?
Regards,
Sridhar

Dear Reyes,
          Thank you for ur timely reply.
         Is there any SAP note regarding this, ie IA32 32 bit is compatible for x86 32 bit ?,
Regards,
Sridhar

Server vs. Desktop kernel config?

Relatively new arch user here, so feel free to flame me for RTFM. I have been reading the docs, but haven't stumbled across anything related to this issue.
I'm going to be installing arch on servers and desktops, and noticed there is only one kernel package, presumably optimized for desktop users. I'm wondering if this means that I need to configure a different kernel package for my server installs? For example, should I be be using a different default scheduler (i.e. deadline instead of cfq), or, maybe the kernel devs have already resolved this at runtime.
Also note the comment that I've heard frequently "don't run arch on production servers" doesn't apply. Save for critical security updates, we already stage all deployments (even using Ubuntu) on testing systems for at least a month before deploying to production. I expect the arch servers will be just as stable as anything else out there (probably more, actually).
Last edited by pgoetz (2014-02-22 10:52:28)

Some kernel patches to consider:
BFS for desktop responsiveness (here's the patch I've put together for kernel 3.10)
PHC for CPU undervolting - cooler is always better
BFQ disk scheduler
Full AppArmor support

Hi all
To anyone who has suspend to ram working on there lenovo can you send me a copy of your kernel config file.
My suspend to ram instead of going to sleep, it just makes the moon led blink and turns off the pc. I am using the 2.6.27.4 kernel with the new libata driver, I just want to try a reference kernel config that is know to work,

How to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

My flex project works fine using the below but when I upload my flash file to the server I doesn't work, all the relative paths and files are the same execpt the remote one is a linux server.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<services-config>
    <services>
        <service id="amfphp-flashremoting-service"
            class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService"
            messageTypes="flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage">
            <destination id="amfphp">
                <channels>
                    <channel ref="my-amfphp"/>
                </channels>
                <properties>
                    <source>*</source>
                </properties>
            </destination>
        </service>
    </services>
    <channels>
    <channel-definition id="my-amfphp" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
        <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
    </channel-definition>
    </channels>
</services-config>
I think the problem is the line
        <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
but I'm not sure how to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

You are confusing "served from a web-server" with "compiled on a web-server". Served from a web-server means you are downloading a file from the web-server, it does not necessarily mean that the files has been generated / compiled on the server.
The server.name and server.port tokens are replaced at runtime (ie. on the client when the swf has been downloaded and is running) not compile time (ie. while mxmlc / ant / wet-tier compiler is running). You do not need to compile on the server to take advantage of this.
Hi Paul,
In Flex, there is feature that lets developer to put all service-config.xml file configuration information into swf file. with
-services=path/to/services-config.xml
IF
services-config.xml
have tokens in it and user have not specified additional
-context-root
and this swf file is not served from web-app-server (like tomcat for example) than it will not work,
Flash player have no possible way to replace token values of service-config.xml file durring runtime if that service-config.xml file have been baked into swf file during compilation,
for example during development you can launch your swf file from your browser with file// protocol and still be able to access blazeDS services if
-services=path/to/services-config.xml
have been specified durring compilation.
I dont know any better way to exmplain this, but in summary there is two places that you can tell swf about service confogiration,
1) pass -services=path/to/services-config.xml parameter to compiler this way you tell swf file up front about all that good stuff,
or 2) you put that file on the webserver( in this case, yes you should have replacement tokens in that file) and they will be repaced at runtime .

Development Environment for Server APIs in Webcenter Interaction 10.3

Hi, I installed “Oracle Web Center Interaction 10.3" on standard environment mentioned by oracle (Window 2003 server, IIS6.0, SQL Server 2005). Everything works fine concerning the portal and services.
I also have visual studio 2005 on the same machine and trying to setup a development environment where I can user server APIs (I start with creating IPTSession).
I am using follwong code to start with:
/String serverConfigDir = ConfigPathResolver.GetOpenConfigPath();
IOKContext configContext = OKConfigFactory.createInstance(serverConfigDir, "portal");
PortalObjectsFactory.Init(configContext);
IPTSession ptSession = PortalObjectsFactory.CreateSession();
Problem: code compiles if I add few dlls, but it do not run, it throws following error
com.plumtree.openkernel.exceptions.OKFactoryException: Error in AOKFactory.createAndInitializeInstance, unable to create object with name 'com.plumtree.openkernel.impl.config.Config' in assembly or JAR file 'openconfig'.
I think either server APIs are not more supported in 10.3 or I do not know how to setup the development environment for server APIs.
Can anyone help??

i have already tried putting hardcoded path but it didn't help, morover the previous line gives me correct path.
I issue i mentioned seems to be related with some setting or missing native dlls
com.plumtree.openkernel.exceptions.OKFactoryException: Error in AOKFactory.createAndInitializeInstance, unable to create object with name 'com.plumtree.openkernel.impl.config.Config' in assembly or JAR file 'openconfig'.

Trying to make the config for gensplash suppost :S

Hello everyone im trying to patch the stock kernel of arch to get fbsplash working and im following the wiki topic about this matter http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gensplash , but the problem is that it it says i need to make the config with this options
Which ever method you choose but be sure to choose the following settings at the config stage:
Device Drivers
Block Devices
RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) = Y
Inital RAM disk (initrd) support(BLK_DEV_INITRD)=Y
Graphics Support
Support for framebuffer devices (FB) = Y
VESA VGA graphics support (FB_VESA) = Y
VESA driver type
vesafb (FB_VESA_STD) = Y (see note 1)
vesafb-tng (FB_VESA_TNG) = N (see note 2)
"Card Specific" display support (FB_"CARD") = N (see note 3)
Logo Configuration
Bootup logo (LOGO) = N
Support for the framebuffer splash (FB_SPLASH) = Y
and im making the config with xconfig , but i cannot find some options like for example
VESA driver type
vesafb (FB_VESA_STD) = Y (see note 1)
vesafb-tng (FB_VESA_TNG) = N (see note 2)
"Card Specific" display support (FB_"CARD") = N (see note 3)
so rite now im thinking that maybe this options changed of subcategory or they do not exists anymore , i dont know :S
maybe some of you would like helping me on finding this options as i think if they are not enabled the hole building process will end up on a not vesafb enabled kernel
thanks for any help

The VESA driver type selection is only available if you also apply the vesa-tng patch, which is included in beyond, but is not necessary for gensplash. In other words, you can safely do without them.
"Card Specific" display support refer to the options immediately after VESA VGA graphics support in the kernel config i.e. card-specific framebuffer drivers such as nvidiafb or radeonfb. Just make sure they are all turned off.

Cisco ISE configs for switch

I suppose Cisco ISE sends a URL redirect to the switch and the switch presents it to the client in case of guest Access getting a URL redirect with User Acceptance Page (Wired Guests and not wireless).
My question here is, Do we need to configure http and https server on the switches (both supplicant and authenticator)?
I am sure it will need but just wanted a confirmation..
I have checked the configuration for supplicant and Authenticator switches for ISE and it has no where mentioned that part of the config.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ise/1.0/user_guide/ise10_troubleshooting.html (a problem of URL redirection and possible cause is mentioned) ------- makes me sure that the config is needed.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960x/software/15-0_2_EX/security/configuration_guide/b_sec_152ex_2960-x_cg/b_sec_152ex_2960-x_cg_chapter_010000.html
(config of supplicant and authenticator switch)---- nowhere mentioned of the http/https config for both switches.

Yes, its needed. The http/s server within the swtich is used to grab the http user traffic and redirect the traffic to the CWA portal, or a device registration portal, or even to the Mobile Device Management (MDM) onboarding portal. .
ip http server
ip http secure-server
The info below I grabbed from Cisco ISE for BYOD and secure unified access book.
"Many organization want to ensure that this redirection process using the switch's internal HTTP server is decoupled from the management of the switch itself, in order to limit the chances of an end user interacting with the management intervace and control plane of a switch. this may be accomplished by running the following two commands from global configuration mode:
ip http active-session-modules none
ip http secure-active-session-modules none"

For server Eagle-PROD-Instance, the Node Manager associated with machine

I have a wlst script that creates a domain and a managed server. I associate the server with a machine that's attached to a node manager. It creates the managed server fine but when I try and start it I get this error
For server Eagle-PROD-Instance, the Node Manager associated with machine Eagle-Machine is not reachable.
All of the servers selected are currently in a state which is incompatible with this operation or are not associated with a running Node Manager or you are not authorized to perform the action requested. No action will be performed.
The machine is associated with the Node Manager and the NM is running. I can start the managed server from the command line, but not from the admin console
This is the script, am I missing something?

Actually the cert is coming from your Dev machine but it is sending the Prod cert.
What cert is used by your admin server ? It should match the host name.
So your Dev machine is apparently using a copy of the prod cert / keystore rather than using its own DEV cert. It's not clear from your post whether this is the nodemanager using the wrong cert, or the managed server. So both should be checked.
The managed servers need to be using a cert that matches their host name. If you have a managed server on VM-BEA-DEV, then the cert needs to be CN=VM-BEA-DEV. You can also use a load-balancer CN name in the cert if you have the cluster's HTTP values set to match.
In your nodemanager.properties, are you explicitly accessing keystores, such as with:
KeyStores=CustomIdentityAndJavaStandardTrust
CustomIdentityAlias=some_alias
CustomIdentityKeyStoreFileName=some_path_to_keystore
CustomIdentityKeyStorePassPhrase={3DES}...
CustomIdentityKeyStoreType=jks
CustomIdentityPrivateKeyPassPhrase={3DES}
In my multi-machine clusters, I have multiple certificates such as:
admin machine1:
has a cert for use by the admin server and NM that matches the host name ( with node manager.properties entries such as the above )
has a 2nd cert that matches the load-balancer name for the cluster - used by the managed servers
all other machines:
has a cert for use by NM that matches the host name ( with node manager.properties entries such as the above )
has a 2nd cert that matches the load-balancer name for the cluster - used by the managed servers

Working eMTA config for a Metaswitch for Cisco DPQ3925

I need a working emta config for a DPQ3295 cable modem that will work with a Metaswitch AGC using NCS

Thanks for the reply but it still doesn't work. I have tried those commands a few times and I always get the same error...access violation.
I am using TFTPserver for Mac. My Server Status, Working path permissions and Parent folder permission are all green.
I have tried it with a pre-made file and without a pre-made file and I get the same result.
I can create and modify any files in my working directory.
This the message in the log file...Mar 25 13:12:41 MacBook-Pro-Retina.local TftpServer[1295]: 10.4-style NSDateFormatter method called on a 10.0-style formatter, which doesn't work. Break on _NSDateFormatter_Log_New_Methods_On_Old_Formatters to debug. This message will only be logged once.
I am not sure what that means, but I will research it after I post this.
I have tried both the CLI and the GUI and neither will work.

Net8 Config/Directory Server Problem

I have installed personnal 8i on my Windows 2000 Advanced Server box. I want to test it on this server only, don't want to do any networking, etc. How do I set up the Net8 config for no networking. Do I need to ?
I can get the listener set up and started, but do I need it ?
Every time I try to do anything, I get an error regarding "can't connect to a directory server" I have been trying to use the Net8 config ass't to set it, but can't get that working either. The server does have a host name and an IP address, but does'nt belong to a domain. I don't want to install active directory.
How can I get this to run "stand alone" ??
Thanks in advance for your help.

The directory server reports all connections, requests and results in the logs/access file (under the instance directory).
All errors are reported in the logs/errors file.
Additional messages can be generated by changing the errorlog level and infolog levels via the Console, or via LDAP. Please refer to the Administration Guide and the Reference Manual for the details.

Custom kernel config and fsck error

Why does arch kernel config pass while custom kernel config fail the fsck during boot? Udev obviously populates /dev/sda* with the archlinux kernel config while the custom kernel config populates /dev/hda*. Is there a reason for this behavior related to the config file or is it a initscript based on /etc/fstab related issue? I have the two different kernel configuration files for the i686 machines, just in case someone can figure this out.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/longe … ig-longene
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/longe … -archlinux

Check to make sure that it is not because of the system time being changed. It will complain about this if it has changed and fail the first filesystem check.

Can I adjust the kernel config-file? [SOLVED]

so i kicked out linux-3 kernel and installed the "aufs_friendly kernel" with the aufs2 package all went well...after the reboot i got an error "acer_wmid" failure .
my question can i rebuild the kernel WHITOUT the "acer_wmi" part from the config-file within the kernel-source ????
# Altera FPGA firmware download module
CONFIG_ALTERA_STAPL=m
CONFIG_X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES=y
CONFIG_ACER_WMI=m <<==== compiled as module and i want to get rid off...
CONFIG_ACERHDF=m
CONFIG_ASUS_LAPTOP=m
CONFIG_DELL_LAPTOP=m
CONFIG_DELL_WMI=m
CONFIG_DELL_WMI_AIO=m
because in the heather of the file
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit <<==== THIS ??!!
# Linux/x86_64 2.6.39 Kernel Configuration
# Mon Jun 6 22:07:19 2011
anybody any ideas ??

Uncomment the "make menuconfig" line in the PKGBUILD or run that command when creating your kernel config. This will bring up the console config utility. Navigate to Device Drivers --> all the way down to X86 Platform Specific.. Toggle Acer WMI Laptop Extras using the spacebar.
gonna try ...i'd blacklisted the module for now.
You can also edit the config file directly and change the 'm' to a 'n' This will work but the reason it's not recommended is because some options are dependent on other kernel options.
tried that one .....no success
[EDIT:] Uncomment the "make menuconfig" line in the PKGBUILD = worked for me
