The RAID is currently split. This allows for much easier maintenance and, in the future, possible upgrades.
 
−
; Disk 1 to 11 : RAID Set 0, which holds the RAID Volumes: System (300GB, RAID6, SCSI:0.0.0), System1(300GB, RAID6, SCSI:0.0.1), Data1 (6833GB, RAID5, SCSI:0.0.2)
 
−
; Disk 11 to 22 : RAID Set 1, which holds the RAID Volume: Data2 (7499GB, RAID5, SCSI:0.0.3)
 
−
; Disk 23 and 24 : Passthrough (single disks) at SCSI:0.0.6 and SCSI:0.0.7. These can be used as spares, as backup, or to expand the other RAID sets later on. Currently they are seen as /dev/sde* and /dev/sdf*. /dev/sdf and /dev/sde are currently used for Virtual Systems.
 
−
The RAID card can be monitored at http://10.0.0.99/ login as "admin" with a password that is the same as the door combo.
 
−
* To use this card with Linux you need a driver: arcmsr. This '''must be part of the initrd''' for the kernel, else you cannot boot from the RAID. You can also install from the CDs, if you have a driver floppy. It will then add the arcmsr driver into the initrd for you. You will still '''always need to have this driver!'''
 
−
* The kernel module can be built from the sources located on /dev/sdf in ''/usr/src/kernels/Acera_RAID''. Just run make.
 
−
 
 
−
There exists a temporary drive which holds a RHEL5 distro and the original RHEL4 distro from the manufacturer. It is currently disconnected from pumpkin.
 
−
 
 
−
== Virtual Host: Corn ==
 
−
We run a '''32-bit''' personality "corn" using the Xen virtualization on pumpkin's /dev/sdb. Corn is a para-virtualized RHEL5 system, with pumpkin as the master host, or "domain0". It is a fully separate system (that could be booted as the main system with a few modifications to config files. Hint: don't do that!). This means that any system stuff installed on Pumpkin needs to be installed on corn separately.
 
−
 
 
−
Subscription Issue: A virtual host needs to be setup special. See the [http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_103_10754.shtm RedHat documentation]. Both host and guest need rhn-virtualization-common and rhn-virtualization-host installed. This is now fixed.
 
−
 
 
−
The virtual host needs to have both ethernets bridged. According to [http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking Xen wiki], this is done by modifying the ''/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge'' script, which is now network-bridge-two which calls the original twice. For the host, create two interfaces: first the one to xenbr1 and then the one to xenbr0, so that the first one ends up being eth1 and the second one eth0. Yes, it seems backwards, but it now works. The key is to have the lines
 
−
alias eth0 xennet
 
−
alias eth1 xennet
 
−
in the /etc/modprobe.conf file. This is now working.

** Pumpkin's [[iptables]] seem messed up after this morning's (1/8/2008) GRUB trouble. With the old config (pepper's), iptables wouldn't let anything in at all, it seemed (specifically things like pingbacks, LDAP&hellip;). I've copied roentgen's ''/etc/sysconfig/iptables-npg'' to pumpkin for now, and everything seems to be working as usual. Previously it had a copy of pepper's, and pepper works, so I wonder what the real problem is. <font color="green">'''This was the wrong iptables!'''. I fixed it with a new set.</font>
 
−
* Sane iptables using ldap.
 
−
* Setup ethernet.
 
−
* Setup RAID volumes.
 
−
* Setup partitions and create file systems.
 
−
* Move the system to System drive and remove the current temp drive.
 
−
* Setup mount points for the data drives.
 
−
* Setup LDAP for users to log in.
 
−
* Setup [[Exports]], so other systems can see the drives. '''There were issues with firewall, so I modeled the firewall after taro's.''' Seems to be working, I can successfully <code>ls /net/data/pumpkin1</code> and <code>ls /net/data/pumpkin2</code> on einstein.
 
−
* Setup autofs so that it can see other drives. '''What other drives? It's working for einstein:/home''' Other drives such as data drives
 
−
* Setup [[smartd]] so we will know when a disk is going bad. '''This can be done inside the RAID card''' using a system to send SNMP and EMAIL. but it needs to be done. '''E-mail seems to be set up, let's see if we get any through npg-admins'''
 
−
* Restrict access  (/etc/security/access.conf)
 
−
* Setup sudo on both pumpkin and corn.
 
−
* Add the new systems to the lentil backup script. '''They're on there; lentil just needs the right SSH keys to rsync them.'''
 
−
* Setup SNMP for cacti monitoring.

  • IP Address UNH: 132.177.88.228 (unh)
  • IP Address RAID: 10.0.0.99 [1]

Software and Services

IPTables

Pumpkin uses the standard iptables configuration.

Splunk

Pumpkin is the master Splunk node and stores all of the splunk data in /data1/splunk. If you want to access the Splunk web interface it is at https://pumpkin.unh.edu:8000 (if you're connected via the Farm), or you can forward port 8000 over SSH.

NFS

Pumpkin shares two data stores (/data and /scratch) over NFS. They can be accessed at /net/data/pumpkin and /net/data/scratch from any machine.

RAID

The RAID is currently split.

Disk 1 to 17 @ 4TB
  • Disk 17 is hot spare
  • RAID Set #00
  • Volume: data lun(0/0/0) is RAID6 = 56 TB
  • Translates to /dev/sda1 mounted on /data
Disk 19 to 24 @ 750 GB
  • RAID Set #01
  • Volume: scratch lun(0/0/1) is RAID0 = 4.5 TB
  • Translates to /dev/sdb1 mounted on /scratch
Disk18 is N/A

The RAID card can be monitored at http://10.0.0.99/ login as "admin" with a password that is described on the RAID page.

Software RAID

There are 2 internal drives in Pumpkin forming a software RAID. Note these are *not identical* partitions on the drives, so the RAID does not look symmetrical. Blame the installer.
