CCCKC Affiliate Open House
by Jestin Stoffel 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Tonight is the Affiliate Open House of the Cowtown Computer Congress, and as we are somewhat of an affiliate organization (we share several members) I thought it deserved an announcement on our mailing list. There are other events this week as well, as part of our Grand Opening, so check out our schedule: http://blog.cowtowncomputercongress.org/events/ Tonights open house will conclude with a showing of the Linux documentary Revolution OS. It's a great film, and has actual footage of why Richard Stallman apparently hates Linus Torvalds. You don't want to miss it! --Jestin

Yubikey Bulk Order
by Billy Crook 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

http://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey/ Anyone else interested? They're a hardware authentication token. Think RSA SecureID without having to read or type, much less expensive, and much more entropy. There's a pam module out there for auth, and the manufacturer has a google code project for the utility that you use to change their internal, private key. (They use asymmetric crypto.) I'm probably buying mine in a week, so speak up on list or off if you want one. Count on paying $22 for each. (second cost bracket, plus splitting shipping) The manufacturer believes in open source, and has intelligent support.

LVM help
by Clayton, C. Ben 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

First off this is my first post so I apologize ahead of time if this is the wrong place for this. Linux administration is a secondary skill so I was hoping I get some advice. We're getting ready to install a new database server into our enviornment. It's meant to replace our current database server. We have a Hitachi SAN that stores the database files. We currently have 2 databases on the server. Each database has it's own Physical Group of about 12 LUNS. The LUNs are multipathed with HDLM. The plan is to install Red Hat 4.6 on the new server and try to get it configured identically to the current production box. That way we can present the LUNs with the database information already on it. This gets around the need to restore from backups. Time is sensitive because we have a 4 hour maintainance window. We also want to split the databases so that they are on different machines. What I'm unsure of, is when I change the zoning so the new server sees the LUNs will LVM pick up the Volume Group from LUNs? I was going to try to copy the LVM configuration from the original server, but I was worried that the multipathing would be an issue since we're dropping the total number of LUNs when we split the Volume Groups. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Ben
