Dell R320 server on centos

0 votes
429 views

Is there a way on Dell R320 (two power supplies and hardware RAID-1) on centos to get a message that a power supply is failing or that one of the hardware RAID disks is failing?
Sure there is the front panel - but no-one is there ...

Is that reported to linux/centos some way? (This is my first R320)

You can use IPMI if the machine has it. That way you get a consistent method to get many errors from the machine.

you should certainly have a DRAC in that machine. Look for the network port
with a wrench below/above it. DRAC is similar to HP ILO or IBM MMI

Airprint to old printer using Centos server

I've found a number of articles on setting up a Linux / CUPS / Avahi server to allow airprinting, but they all seem to be quite old.

Two questions:
1) Does anyone have a link for a more recent article, hopefully specifically for Centos7.
2) I'm on a structured, VLAN network. Will I have to put a WIFI card into my Centos server to give it a presence on the WIFI before this will work?

How to setup Visual Studio 2013 with a CentOS 6.5 x64 git server

I'm looking to setup a git server under CentOS 6.5 x64 that will serve 2-5 .NET developers using Visual Studio Pro 2013. I've been reading that Visual Studio 2013 now has 'native git support', but as I've been reading into this more and more, it appears to me that the 'native git support' is really the fact that Team Foundation Server has git support on it and that I'd need to setup TFS in order to use the Visual Studio 2013's native git support. Can anyone either confirm and/or deny this for me? My personal suspicion is that I will need to implement TortiseGIT to do what I want to do, but wanted to throw this question.

If, in actuality, I can use a CentOS git server with Visual Studio 2013, can anyone point me in the direction of an FAQ/directions/YouTube video/book/anything for how to setup something like this? I have the resources to setup a CentOS git server (which will also host some DreamWeaver CC users as well on other projects), but setting up a dedicated TFS server isn't an option, hence why I'm looking into this.

CentOS Server hangs after installing KVM

I just received a Supermicro server back from factory repair. Installed CentOS 6.3 x86_64 fresh from DVD (tried with 6.4, same result). Everything goes fine until i install Virtualization* yum groups. Virtualization is enabled in BIOS. Server boots, CentOS loads and i have even a login prompt. If i'm fast enough to enter login name and password, shell works for about 10 sec. Then, it seems to hang. Pressing CTRL-C seems to work as i see it on screen (CTRL-C text).

I'm used to Xen in CentOS 5 where we can choose a non-Xen kernel at boot time. With CentOS 6 and KVM, i'm kinda lost! I Googled a lot and didn't find anything to disable KVM / select a a non-KVM kernel a boot up time. The server has been repaired but i'm not sure if there is still other problems that prevent KVM to work. I know that they installed the last BIOS version. I have other identical servers that works well with KVM. I tried to disable all i saw for virtualization support in BIOS, result is the same. I did memtest86 tests without problem.

Here are the specs:

Supermicro 6026T-3RF (mainboard X8DT3-S)
BIOS 03/17/12 15:50:21 Ver 2.1
Xeon E5520
Kingston 12 Gig RAM (Triple Channel)
LSI 9240-8i

What should i do to debug this? Any pointers, URL, etc would be greatly appreciated!
