Upgrade CPU/RAM in KVM.

Upgrade CPU/RAM in KVM.

You can follow the following steps to increase memory size of your KVM virtual machine.
  1. Update the configuration using command sudo virsh edit
  2. reboot VM server.

Listing virtual servers.

 [ahmed@ahmed-server ~]$ sudo virsh  list
  Id    Name                           State
 ----------------------------------------------------
  8     VM-1                           running
  12    VM-2                           running
  13    VM-3                           running
  15    VM-4                           running

Getting Information about VM.

 [ahmed@ahmed-server ~]$ sudo virsh dominfo VM-1
 Id:             8

Edit Hardware for each VM.

 [ahmed@ahmed-server ~]$ sudo virsh edit VM-1
 Domain VM-1 XML configuration edited.

Checking VM information.

 [ahmed@ahmed-server ~]$ sudo virsh dominfo VM-1
 Id:             8
 Name:           VM-1
 UUID:           588ff640-25be-9b18-5eb3-f93c471848e6
 OS Type:        hvm
 State:          shut off
 CPU(s):         8

 Used memory:    33554432 KiB
 Persistent:     yes
 Autostart:      disable
 Managed save:   no

Once this is done restart the server.
And we are done.

Installing Zabbix Version 2.4 Offline (Zabbix Server without Internet).

There might be situations where you have a remote/zabbix server which does not have internet connectivity, due to security or other reasons. So we create a custom repo on the remote/zabbix server so that we can install zabbix using rpms Here is how we are planning to do this. Download all the dependency rpms on a machine which has internet connection, using yum-downloadonly or repotrack . Transfer all the rpms to the remote server. Create a repo on the remote server. Update yum configuration. Install. NOTE: This method can be used to install any application, but here we have used zabbix as we had this requirement for a zabbix server. Download dependent rpms . On a machine which has internet connection install the package below. And download all the rpms . Make sure the system are similar (not required to be identical - At-least the OS should be of same version) mkdir /zabbix_rpms yum install yum-downloadonly Downloading all the rpms to location /zabbix_rpms/ ,...

Access Filter in SSSD `ldap_access_filter` [SSSD Access denied / Permission denied ]

Access Filter Setup with SSSD ldap_access_filter (string) If using access_provider = ldap , this option is mandatory. It specifies an LDAP search filter criteria that must be met for the user to be granted access on this host. If access_provider = ldap and this option is not set, it will result in all users being denied access. Use access_provider = allow to change this default behaviour. Example: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=allowed_user_groups,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Prerequisites yum install sssd Single LDAP Group Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=Group Name,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Multiple LDAP Groups Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = (|(memberOf=cn=System Adminstrators,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)(memberOf=cn=Database Users,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)) ldap_access_filter accepts standa...

Setting up ssl https On Nagios XI Server

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer. The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and protection of the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. Intro Courtesy Wikipedia Full SSL support requires Nagios XI version 2011R1.6 or later. Before we start. Check if the below packages are install, they should be if you are using latest Nagios XI, but check them anyways. yum install mod_ssl openssl Creating Key and Certificate Lets generate the key for the server. openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048 Output for the command. [ahmed@nagiosserver ~]$ openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048 Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus ...........................................................................................
