You need the equivalent of EL5.7 or 5.8 in order to have an installer that supports the newest generation of Smart Array controller.
Please see the footnotes on the HP/OEL technical exceptions matrix.
You need Oracle Linux/UEK 5.8. That's the minimum-supported installer version.
What version ...
The original form of this answer was a train wreck. Abandon all hope all ye who view edit history. Here's the re-done and more-right answer.
If I understand you correctly, you are using Route 53, but don't want to give your clients the ugly Amazon URLs. You want your clients to point their domai...
So they use Amazon's Route 53 for client DNS, but the boss thinks that pointing people to the big long URL of the Route53 servers is somehow bad and he wants to instead point customers to ns1.hisdomain.com ns2.hisdomain.com etc
So wants his sysadmin to somehow make an interface between a few BIND servers and route53 so that they can use vanity name servers
completely not realizing that doing so takes all the advantages out of using route 53, scopes them down to a small point of failure, so at that point why bother with route53?!
@Griffin Okay, and is it in some kind of hybrid mode, BIOS mode, or full UEFI? Those firmwares can be skanky about what default options are enabled and disabled
So in other words, have you ever booted off of a GPT volume before using that motherboard?
@MDMarra Yikes, totally forgot about that garbage. I've been out of the loop for the latest MSFT product line with the exception of vanilla Server 2012. I really don't feel like re-upping my certs either.
Has anyone actually seen firmware / bootsector viruses. I've been in IT from a professional standpoint for almost ten years now and have never seen one. Never saw it in my script kiddie, cellar dwellar gaming days either.
If Red Hat wants to deep-throat Microsoft, that's *your* issue. That has nothing what-so-ever to do with the kernel I maintain. It's trivial for you guys to have a signing machine that parses the PE binary, verifies the signatures, and signs the resulting keys with your own key. You already wrote the code, for chissake, it's in that f*cking pull request.
Why should *I* care? Why should the kernel care about some idiotic "we only sign PE binaries" stupidity? We support X.509, which is the standard for signing.
Broseph, this is the realm of computers past the shiny Fischer Price boxes you get at Best Buy. There's nothing wrong with getting a PC, turning it on, and going clickly-clicky to get mail and browse cats on the internet. As soon as you step out of that and try to flex the boundaries, stuff like this happens.
It's not "fun" all the time and it makes you want to physically harm yourself, someone else, and the computer -- but stick to it, follow it to the end, and most importantly, learn how to learn. In this case, trace your steps, document everything, Google everything, and do like you're …
@Griffin you mention other distros seemed to work, perhaps you can find out what the kernel module is being used for the controller and see if its available/using that version in the Arch installer.
@MIfe Yes I was thinking about installing Fedora but then I got so caught up in trying to do this that it's less about the OS and more about I just feel a need to do it due to how much time is invested
I'm building a server with mysql and apache + php. I need to make sure the attack surface is minimised and have already hardened mysql, apache and php through settings in httpd.conf, php.ini and mysql files. What more do I need to do, to make sure my server is secure?
Off to a bad start with his NT4 answer, although I get what he was saying. Answered another question and didn't seem to understand what was asked. Filled out his profile fully - He's tenacious! I hope he sticks to it.
@WesleyDavid I know people using NT4 and they will continue to do so for many years to come. Their systems are not connected to the outside world though and they bought a lifetime supply of PCs to run it
@Iain Yeah, that's why I understood, in a very broad sense, the guy's comment "Nothing wrong with NT4." Yes there is at least something wrong with running NT4 but I think it is unreasonable, unrealistic, and rude to answer a question involving NT4 with "Upgrade to Server 2012 lol" but he could have simply answered the question rather than touching off a firestorm with that opening sentence.
I get tickets all the time "why shouldn't I have MYSQL connections open to all IPs for root"... and then one of my tier one guys runs chown -R user:user / :(
