How to Fix Bridge problem in CentOS/RHEL 5.4 for KVM

.Dated: 05-Nov-2009




KVM in the CentOS 5.4 – How to fixing bridge Problem



When we use KVM in CentOS 5.4 we will notice that there is no bridge setup to allow your virtual guests to directly connect to the local network.

We need to do so simple steps to fix it.

As we are using libvirt,
We need to follwo steps below to fix it.



Step 1: Create the bridge script at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0



[root@babar /root]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0

DEVICE=br0
BOOTPROTO=static
TYPE=Bridge
IPADDR=192.168.0.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no

Save & exit


As you can see, I use static IP config.

Step 2: hook up eth0 to the bridge and remove it’s IP config in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

[root@babar /root]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
TYPE=Ethernet

Please restart the network service or your system and you will done. Now create a new virtual machine with virt-manager,we can select to have it directly hooked up to the physical network.

1. Requires
===========
a. squid >= 2.6
b. python >= 2.4
c. python-urlgrabber
d. python-iniparse
e. Apache (httpd) or any other Web Server


Note: For these steps your machine must be conneted with Internet & Preinstalled CentOS 5.3 or 5.4

Please follow the steps


[root@Squid ~]# yum install squid httpd python python-urlgrabber python-iniparse

Last step then start using it. Please open the file videocache.conf in the /etc dir then place your squid machines ip there.



[root@Squid videocache-1.9.1]# cd /etc/
[root@Squid etc]# vim /etc/videocache.conf

[main]
# file : /etc/videocache.conf


######### Please put here your cache machine IP ########

cache_host = 192.168.1.254


######## please put here your squid machines IP & Port .i.e 3128 or 8080 which you are using .

proxy = http://192.168.1.254:3128/



save & exit.


then



restart squid and apache services.



Here we done it.

start browsing from youtube.com or blip.tv then you can see your machine will create cache.
We can check the service is running with this command.

Linux Load Balancer Using LVS, HeartBeat Highly Available MySQL using DRBD & HeartBeat by Babar Zahoor

Wrritten By Babar Zahooor (RHCE)
Coordinated by Muhammad Farrukh Siddque(LPIC)
Speacial Thanks to
Mr.Muhammad Kamran Azeem

http://www.Wbitt.com, http://www.LinuxUrduCBTs.com

Linsux Load Balancer Video CBT's using Piranha,Pulse,IPVsadm and Highly Available MySQL using DRBD & HearTBeat.


6 Nodes Load Balancer

Two nodes for LVS (Piranha Pulse nannay Ipvsadm) as Load balancer
Two nodes for Web servers can be multiple upto your requirement.
Two nodes for mysql database server using Drbd & heartbeat for highly avaliable mysql database.

3 types of LoadBalancers
1. Nating
2. Direct Routing
3. Tunneling


CentOS 5.3 is used as Operating System.

In this setup we are using LVS(Linux virtual server) using Direct Routing Method these packages are available on Redhat5.x/CentOs5.x.


We will cover these in few steps.

1 . we will setup basic setup for whole 6 nodes

> Host file configuration (In real network use DNS or both.)
> Ssh key generation (For authentication betwen all 6 nodes)
> NTP Configuration (For time syncronization if possible use dedicated NTP server otherwise 1 node can be used)

2 . We need to configure LVS setup for the two highly available Load balancers. (If one down other will do the same function)

3 . We need to configure web servers for the Load balancing the web service. (Both will have apache php php-mysql php-gd service installaed We also install joomla on both server to check our web and Mysql service working.)

4 . We need to configure Drbd & heartbeat service on two db servers.(Db1 and Db2 will be active passive mode to give highly availabe mysql database service and it's data/databses).

5 . We need to configure joomla on both web server's and make thier connection with mysql databses servers.







1. Basic configurations of all 6 nodes.

On all Nodes. Please copy this file on all servers/nodes

[root@lb1 /]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

##### IP's of Load Balancers #####
10.0.0.1 lb1.linuxurducbts.com lb1
10.0.0.2 lb2.linuxurducbts.com lb2

##### IP's of Web Servers #####
10.0.0.30 www1.linuxurducbts.com www1
10.0.0.40 www2.linuxurducbts.com www2

##### IP's of MySQL DB servers #####
10.0.0.50 db1.linuxurducbts.com db1
10.0.0.51 db2.linuxurducbts.com db2

########## Here is Virtual IP/Service IP of Webserver and MySQL DB ##########

10.0.0.3 www.linuxurducbts.com www
10.0.0.190 db.linuxurducbts.com db


Copy this /etc/hosts file to all the servers


[root@lb1 /]#


Now generate ssh keys

[root@lb1 ~]# ssh-keygen -t rsa


[root@lb1 ~]# ssh-keygen -t dsa


[root@lb1 ~]# cd /root/.ssh/


[root@lb1 ~]# cat *.pub > authorized_keys


[root@lb1 ~]#scp -r /root/.ssh/ lb2:/root/


[root@lb1 ~]#scp -r /root/.ssh/ www1:/root/


[root@lb1 ~]#scp -r /root/.ssh/ www2:/root/


[root@lb1 ~]#scp -r /root/.ssh/ db1:/root/


[root@lb1 ~]#scp -r /root/.ssh/ db2:/root/


[root@lb1 ~]#ssh-keyscan -t dsa lb1 lb2 db1 db2 www1 www2

[root@lb1 ~]#ssh-keyscan -t rsa lb1 lb2 db1 db2 www1 www2


Stop Unwanted services on all nodes.


[root@lb1 ~]# /etc/init/sendmail stop


[root@lb1 ~]# chkconfig --level 235 sendmail off


3. NTP configuration.

Run this command on all nodes & Make sure the ntp is installed on all nodes.

[root@lb1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep ntp
ntp-4.2.2p1-9.el5.centos
chkfontpath-1.10.1-1.1
[root@lb1 ~]#
[root@lb1 ~]# vim /etc/ntp.conf ###Configuration for NTP server###
restrict 127.0.0.1

save & quit
[root@lb1 ~]#
[root@lb1 ~]# /etc/init.d/ntpd restart
Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ]
Starting ntpd: [ OK ]
[root@lb1 ~]#



Clinet side configuration

[root@db2 /]# vim /etc/ntp.conf

#restrict 127.0.0.1
#restrict -6 ::1

Heartbeat Setup:
================

Install heartbeat package using yum

Note: Internet connection is required or configure yum repository on your local machine with extras.


[root@db1 ~]#yum install -y heartbeat heartbeat-pils heartbeat-stonith heartbeat-devel


[root@db1 ~]#vim /etc/ha.d/ha.cf ## Create this file and copy this text ##

both NODE:


[root@db1 ~]#chmod 600 /etc/ha.d/authkeys


[root@db1 ~]#scp /etc/ha.d/authkeys db2:/etc/ha.d/authkeys



[root@db1 ~]#chkconfig --level 235 heartbeat on




Note: if you have problem mounting /dev/drbd0 on /data then run these commands to check the status if you found the drbddisk stopped then start it.





Mysql Configuration.


cp /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf.orig

vi /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
# datadir=/var/lib/mysql
datadir=/data/mysql
#socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
socket=/data/mysql/mysql.sock
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1

[mysql.server]

#basedir=/var/lib
basedir=/data

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

[mysql]
socket=/data/mysql/mysql.sock


Now it is time to add users/hosts to mysql server:

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'10.0.0.30' IDENTIFIED BY 'redhat'
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'10.0.0.40' IDENTIFIED BY 'redhat'
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;


mysql>quit



Now we need to install joomla on both web servers

On Webserver 1

[root@www1 /]# yum install php php-mysql php-gd -y

[root@www1 ~]# ls
anaconda-ks.cfg Desktop install.log install.log.syslog Joomla_1.5.13-Stable-Full_Package
[root@www1 ~]# cd Joomla_1.5.13-Stable-Full_Package/
[root@www1 Joomla_1.5.13-Stable-Full_Package]# ls
[root@www1 Joomla_1.5.13-Stable-Full_Package]# cp -avr * /var/www/html/

[root@www1 Joomla_1.5.13-Stable-Full_Package]# cd /var/www/html/
[root@www1 html]# ls
[root@www1 html]# cd ..
[root@www1 www]# ls
cgi-bin error html icons
[root@www1 www]# chown apache:apache html/ -R
[root@www1 www]#
[root@www1 www]# ls
cgi-bin error html icons
[root@www1 www]# cd html/
[root@www1 html]# ll
[root@www1 html]#

Now open internet explorer then open
http://10.0.0.30

Install Joomla follow the steps and give required information.


In Database section give

Host 10.0.0.190 IP use MySQL as database.
user root
passwdor redhat
database joomla


Must check install sample data.

Copy all the joomla code on www2


[root@www1 html]# scp -r * www2:/var/www/html/

We need to open this file and edit it on line 391 add index.php

[root@www1 html]#vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php


save & quit

[root@www1 /]#
[root@www1 ~]# scp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf www2:/etc/httpd/conf/
httpd.conf 100% 33KB 32.9KB/s 00:00
[root@www1 ~]#
[root@www1 ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

[root@www1 ~]#

On Web Server 2
[root@www2 html]# chown apache:apache * -R
[root@www2 html]# ll
[root@www2 /]# yum install php php-mysql php-gd -y


[root@www2 ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
[root@www2 ~]#



Remeber that each machine(LVS+Real) must have default gw the ip of router connected to these servers

[root@www1 ~]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table

High Availability Cluster with DRBD & Heartbeat

Created By Babar Zahoor (RHCE 5.0)



HA High Avalibility with DRBD & Heart Beat.


#### This How To belongs to My video on High Availability with drbd and heartbeat ####


OS CentOS 5.3 on both machines.

We will setup for Transparent squid on High Availability Cluster.

Packages are available on CentOS extras repository.


Our Scenario


We have two servers


baber 192.168.1.50 Primary server

farrukh 192.168.1.60 Secondry server



Setup for ip to name resolve ## we don't have DNS we need this step ##

Basic Setup Configuration.

now you can access the samba shares from the WidowsXp pc's


if you have firewall installed on your Linux server kindly open the ports.

[root@example ~]# system-config-securitylevel

enable the samba option in the firewall INPUT tables for incoming request.

How to implement ACL

ACL Access Control List
Linux operating system supports ACL option.
if we want to implement ACL option we have to specify in witch partition we
want to implement ACL

e.g. / we want to implement ACL in this partition.

1st of all open fstab file "Be careful this is file system table file"
vim /etc/fstab

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0


add acl option in the line where / partition information is written.
add acl option after defaults option.
e.g. defaults,acl

then save file and exit.

run command on shell
# mount -o remount /

getfacl command is used to implement ACL

-m for adding and editing ACL
-x for removing.
u for user or userid
g for group or groupid
e.g.
# setfacl -m u:baber:rwx /data/file
this command will gives rwx permissions to user baber on specified file.
"/data/file"

# setfacl -m g:baber:rwx /data/file
this command will gives rwx permissions to group baber on specified file.
"/data/file"

to check ACL
# getfacl /data/file

To remove ACL

setfacl -x u:baber
setfacl -x g:baber

Useradd

In redhat linux we can add users with useradd command
# useradd username
to assign passwd we must use passwd command..
# passwd username
then specify passwd..........
information about all users will be saved in /etc/passwd file....

all passwords of the users must be saved in /etc/shadow in encrypted form...

all information about groups will saved in /etc/group file
we can add group using
# groupadd groupname

Files and Directory Permissions

Written by Babar Zahoor RHCE 5.0
baber@wbitt.com

We have three types of permissions
read = r
write = w
execute = x

we can change permissions for three categories
owner = u
group = g
others = o

if run ls -l
we see
-rw------- 1 root root 1648 Mar 13 13:47 anaconda-ks.cfg
drwx------ 11 root root 4096 Mar 20 08:56 Desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41065 Mar 13 13:46 install.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5891 Mar 13 13:46 install.log.syslog
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 18 23:47 ispconfig
drwxr-xr-x 37 root root 4096 Mar 20 08:25 mplayer
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 224 Mar 14 18:48 scsrun.log

please see install.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41065 Mar 13 13:46 install.log
we see here
permissions
- 1st dash show this is file (if d then directory, if we see l then indicates
this is link file or shortcut)

rw- for owner of the file
r-- for the owner's group
r-- for all others then owner and it's group

chmod command is used to change the permissions
+ is use to add
- is use to remove

if we consider file for changing permissions.

example: chmod u+rwx,g+rw,o+rw file

We have another method to implement permissions.
Number System
r = 4
w = 2
x = 1
4+2+1 = rwx = 7 for owner or group or others means
777 for all of them

example: chmod 755 file (same for directories)

We have default permissions in the system

umask is the value which can change default permissions.

umask (to see the default permissions)
0022
please subtract 022 from 777 for directories permissions.
777
-022
-----
755

please subtract 022 from 666 for files permissions.
666
-022
-----
644

these 755, 644 are default permissions for the directories and files as well.


Thanks
