Change Network Device Name Permanently – RedHat

Device Naming Device name management is handled by udev system. When Linux kernel discovers a new device (e.g., a network interface card) added to the system, it notifies udev daemon of the device event. The udev daemon will then match various device attributes against a set of rules to identify the device, name it, and store its information in udev database. In case of network devices, udev relies on MAC addresses to assign persistent names to the devices. The MAC address based naming rules are stored in “/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules”.

Generate Ethernet Device UUID – RedHat

What’s UUID? A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems. Microsoft uses the term globally unique identifier (GUID), either as a synonym for UUID or to refer to a particular UUID variant. When generated according to the standard methods, UUIDs are for practical purposes unique, without requiring a central registration authority or coordination between the parties generating them. The probability that a UUID will be duplicated is not zero, but is so close to zero as to be negligible. Thus, anyone can create a UUID and use it to identify something with near certainty that the identifier does not duplicate one that has already been created to identify something else, and will not be duplicated in the future. Information labeled with UUIDs by independent parties can therefore be later combined into a single database, or transmitted on the same channel, without needing to resolve conflicts between identifiers.

Oracle VM Server – Log Files

Why You Need Log Files? Log files are keys to resolving problems in any IT system, why?! You are unable to troubleshooting without having log files. Any enterprise system must have logging system and logging is very important to IT administrators. Log location is very important for IT administrators even very importantly. Oracle VM Server log files locations are listed in the following table: Log File Directory Description xend.log /var/log/xen/ Contains a log of all the actions of the Oracle VM Server daemon. Actions are normal or error conditions. This log contains the same information as output using the xm log command. xend-debug.log /var/log/xen/ Contains more detailed logs of the actions of the Oracle VM Server daemon. xen-hotplug.log /var/log/xen/ Contains a log of hotplug events. Hotplug events are logged if a device or network script does not start up or become available. qemu-dm.pid.log /var/log/xen/ Contains a log for each hardware virtualized guest. This log is created by the quemu-dm process. Use the ps command to find the pid (process identifier) and replace this in the file name. ovs-agent.log /var/log/ Contains a log for Oracle VM Agent. osc.log /var/log/ Contains a log for Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-ins. ovm-consoled.log /var/log/ Contains...

Oracle VM Server – Memory Size of the Management Domain (Dom0)

Oracle VM Server installer using the below algorithm to set default memory size for dom0: dom0 Memory = 502 (MB) + (Physical Memory (MB) * 0.0205) As an example, your physical server has 256 GB memory, dom0 needs to 5.7 GB memory. If you didn’t assign enough memory to dom0, you will face with serious performance issues. So calculating dom0 memory is very important for preventing performance issues on your virtual machines. Also you can change dom0 memory size by the below instruction: Edit your grub configuration on the Oracle VM Server to adjust the value for the dom0_mem parameter. If you are using UEFI boot, the grub configuration file is located at /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg, otherwise the grub configuration file is located at /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Edit the line starting with multiboot2 /xen.gz and append the required boot parameters. For example, to change the memory allocation to 1024 MB, edit the file to contain: multiboot2 /xen.gz dom0_mem=max:1024M placeholder ${xen_rm_opts}

Centralized Logs By RSyslog

What’s Syslog? Syslog server is a server for centralizing logs that both enterprise and small businesses using native solution or third-party solution for our log centralization. When you have syslog server in your environment, there is no concern about finding root causes even when you are faced with critical hardware problem. Because you have your logs on another storage or path or devices and you can look at them to find root cause.  There is many third-party syslog server that you can install on Windows, Linux and also deploy as virtual appliance. But we want to configure our syslog server by using RSYSLOG which it’s installed on all RedHat based distribution by default.
