Disk Expansion steps: VMS, Unity without LVM

Disk Expansion steps:  VMS, Unity without LVM

===============================================

Slight changes to procedure for RHEL.

1. Display and verify LUN size.

# powermt display dev=all

# df -h /path/to/mount/point

# fdisk -lu /dev/emcpowerX1

2. Unmount volume.

# umount /path/to/mount/point

3. Check FS.

# fsck -n /dev/emcpowerX1

4. SDP to expand disk.

5. Verify new LUN size. If not detected, reboot.

# fdisk -lu /dev/emcpowerX

6. Remove journaling.

# tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/emcpowerX1

7. Resize partition. Delete then recreate partition with new size.

# fdisk /dev/emcpowerX

8. Check FS.

# e2fsck -f /dev/emcpowerX1

9. Resize FS.

# resize2fs /dev/emcpowerX1

10. Check FS.

# fsck -n /dev/emcpowerX1

10. Turn on journal.

# tune2fs -j /dev/emcpowerX1

11. Remount volume. Verify new size.

# mount /path/to/mount/point

# df -h /path/to/mount/point

=======================================

1. if baremetal run: /usr/bin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh to scan;

   if OVM scan disk in UI;

   if VM run commands below (if not automatically detected by server)

                for BUS in /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/scan

Enable non-expiring password for Linux Users

When you need to set users for non-expiring password accounts.  Here are the basic steps.

passwd ; pam_tally2 -u -r (reset:  this resets the login failures); faillock --user --reset 

chage -d 0

Non-expiring.

 chage -I -1 -m 0 -M 99999 -E -1 adb-dev

chage -I -1 -m 0 -M 99999 -E -1 adb-d

Convert Unix Time

If you happen to be working on a system where you want to convert unix time to human readable format, use this:

perl -p -e 's/^([0-9]*)/"[".localtime($1)."]"/e'

Its a perl command that when applied to a .log file allows you to convert unix time to a format that is readable to the user.  You can pretty much use this with other small shell tools to do wonderful things.

Nouveau causing the Linux Mint System to Freeze

Ever had an experience that suddenly your Linux system freezes for no apparent reason?  This is manifested, when you tried to fire-up chrome (at least in my case) and doing some check on dmesg / syslog points to this:

The problem here lies with the video drivers loaded to the kernel is having a (NOT going to discuss the internals here) hard time figuring out how to work with the hardware of your system.  It can be very painful especially if you are not sure where to look at.
 
The SOLUTION:

sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

and then do:

sudo ldconfig

Afterwards reboot the system.

Enabling SSH Login Email Alerts

If you happen to be figuring out who is loging in or what is being logged in the system you can always use this defined entry to .bashrc to help monitor it.

echo  'ALERT - Root Shell Access (ServerName) on: `date` `who` | mail -s "Alert: Root Access from `who | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1`" some_domain@domain.com

But please note that you will have to have either postfix / sendmail (mail server) and mail client "mailx" installed to get this working.

SSH Problem: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed

When you encounter an error relating to this one: 

/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed

Please install the following packages to help fix the issue  "ssh-import-id"

Reload the SSH server then try again.  For more modern linux systems running on Cinnamon in my case using LinuxMint I have to use the following syntax to get it right.

ssh-copy-id -p 35354 -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub user@some_ipV4_address

Cheers!

Trobleshooting Roundcube Webmail Error: Message size exceeds fixed limit

At times you will encounter an error with your roundcube system with bouncing emails caused by limitations in the mail system.  If you get this error:  Message size exceeds fixed limit

Chances are your message_size_limit is not set to be as flexible with your current configuration for roundcube to fix this do the following:

1. Edit the file which roundcube reads to assign the global variables /var/www/html/roundcube/.htaccess file and change the following configurations to this one.

php_value       upload_max_filesize     32M
php_value       post_max_size           32M

2.  Check your postfix mailer configuration by issuing the command:
  
postconf -d |grep message_size_limit

If you did not get a value you need to fix this.

3.  To fix the limit issue the command.

postconf -e 'message_size_limit = 104857600'

4.   To fix the 'mailbox_size_limit' issue you need to add this using the command:

postconf -e 'mailbox_size_limit = 0'

5.  Reload postfix for the changes to apply.

Troubleshooting Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exchange – OAuth Authentication Failure

When trying to use the Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exchange tool, I came across the following error:

Invalid Consumer Secret specified. Google Apps server has denied access to these credentials.

I checked and double-checked to make sure I had the correct OAuth Domain Key and Consumer Secret entered, and when it still failed, I re-generated the Consumer Secret.  Still no love.  After some searching, I came across this thread on Google’s Product Forums:

Invalid Consumer Secret

In a nutshell, when configuring your OAuth Domain Key, you have the option to “Allow Access to All API’s”.  For, me this box was checked.  Turns out when they say “All API’s”, they didn’t include some new ones that the latest version of the GAMME tool requires.  The tool looks for those API’s, can’t access them with the credentials you’ve supplied it, and falls on its face.  The fix involves you removing that checkmark next to “Allow Access to All API’s” and then heading to the “Manage Third-Party OAuth Client Access” page.  Type in your domain name into the “Client Name” field, and then paste the following into the “One or More API Scopes” field:

https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/emailsettings/2.0/,
https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/user/#readonly,
https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/,
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/,
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.groups.migration,
https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/migration/,
https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/group/#readonly

Click the “Authorize” button, and that’s that.  Now the GAMME tool completes it’s diagnostic checks and will happily begin migrating the contents of your Exchange mailbox into Google Apps.

Windows to Linux Storage Sharing: cifs mount params

Ever wonder on how to mount using mount.cifs.  This is dinosaur tech but I am putting it here anyway.

Act I.  Get and create your credentials file

Get the correct credentials from the shared drive and then do the following:


sudo echo -e "username=service" > /somedir/.somecredentials; sudo echo -e "password=p@ssw0rd" >> /somedir/.somecredentials


Act II.  Mount the drive

First create a mount point for this new share under your linux system.

mkdir /mnt/winshare

Then issue this command.

mount.cifs "//some_ip_address/mount_drive" /mnt/winshare -o credentials=/root/.somecredentials


Act III.  Bootstrap it!

The goal is for this service to available every time a reboot occurs, you can do this by creating a simple script to help on this on and put it on /etc/rc.local


Cheers!

Unix Timestamp conversion (Convert Unix Time)

Have you ever had the chance to work on logs to investigate on a few items that needs immediate reports and judgement, while you are at it logs shows the standard "unix" convention.  To spare you all this hardship use the following formatting on every known log you have.

perl -p -e 's/^([0-9]*)/"[".localtime($1)."]"/e'

I does all the magic for you.

e.g.  tail -n 20000 /some_path_to_logs | (command above) | less

Cheers!!!

Server Hardware Memory Alignment

Have you ever had the chance of migrating old memory to a newer hardware, only to find out that its not reading all those modules when they should be?

The reason for this is that, server hardware is channel specific, what I meant by this is that if your board supports more than one processor slot and who have no luxury of reading the setup manual.  Chances are you are putting those memory modules on locations which they are not ought to be in.   The hint is this.  The closer the memory banks to a processor the most likely that that is the correct channel for those banks.

Try it. 

rsync to a different port

There are instances when you are faced with issues on securing your servers and in the process systematically closing all the default ports.  Real hassle if you do "rsync" on a regular basis.  Apparently, there is a simply solution for this.  All you need to do is train it to use a different port.

e.g.

rsync -av -e 'ssh -p 35500' /home/footloader fooflight01@server1.saltsugar.net 

** above will rsync home dir to a certain server


Awesome?  Cheers!!!

ssh-copy-id -i on a different port

If it ever occurred to you that a changed has been done to your ssh config particularly the default port of 22 into something else.  Then you need to implement password-less ssh.  Then you got this:

ssh: connect to host 121.97.35.82 port 22: Connection refused

Solution:

ssh-copy-id -i  file_path "username@some_ipaddress -p port_number"

Cheers!

Secure Copy to a Different Port

At times you need to change the order in which services like ssh run on its default port for security reasons.  This in effect will impact your scp as well.  Here is the syntax for it.

$ scp -P port_number  /some_path_to_a_file @Ip_address

Cheers!

Password Generator

If in any case you needed to create phrases of passwords.  This is the likely key:  http://goo.gl/aJD7Kv

passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

There are times when you will entirely left out a box in the dark and then one day it suddenly becomes the jagging hinge pulling out all the steam to a project you have or to a legacy system that has recoiled from it since its very inception.  What do you do when you can no longer retrieve your password?

In this post I am going to lay down simple steps to allow you to retrieve passwords from both virtual systems (vmachines) and physical ones.

1. LiveCD -- it is best that you have a liveCD kept somewhere for emergency.  This CD either in physical media and/or ISO image will go along way.
2. A good procedure to work on. 

Procedure:
----------------------------------------

1. If it is a physical box, configure your BIOS to boot to your CD/DVD-ROM drive.  If it is a virtual machine, you will have to configure it to boot from an ISO image somewhere in you system. 
2. Do this as root.  Identify the partition which needs to be accessed via "chroot".
3. Create a staging directory for the system you intend to recover.
4. Mount that system using this command:    e.g. mount -rw -t ext4 /dev/sda4 /mnt/
5. chroot /mnt/  -- this would drop you to the chrooted environment of the system you intend to recover.
6. Issue the command:   "pwconv"  (The "pwconv" command creates shadow from passwd and an optionally existing shadow)

Thats it, issue fixed.

Cheers!!!
