How to configure yum repository server on OEL 6.5

Configure Linux yum server step by step

What is YUM command?

YUM stands for Yellow dog Updater, Modified because it is based on YUP, the Yellow dog Updater. Yellow Dog is a version of Linux for the Power Architecture hardware. YUP, and later YUM, were written by the Linux community as a way to maintain an RPM-based system.

Uses of YUM Command?

Automatic resolution of software dependencies. If a package installation or upgrade request is made and requires the installation or upgrade of additional packages, YUM can list these dependencies and prompt the user to install or upgrade them.

Command-line and graphical versions. The command-line version can be run on a system with a minimal number of software packages. The graphical versions offer ease-of-use and a user-friendly graphical interface to software management.

Multiple software locations at one time. YUM can be configured to look for software packages in more than one location at a time.

Ability to specify particular software versions or architectures. Software locations accessible by YUM can contain multiple versions of the same RPM package and different builds for different architectures such as one for i686 and one for x86_64. yum can easily check the appropriate version and download it.

While it's unlikely that you'll have an Internet connection during the exam, you could have a network connection to a local repository. So you should be ready to use the yum command during the Red Hat exam.

memory for crash kernel 0x0 to 0x0 notwithin permissible range

Symptom

When the user finishes the RHEL5.7 operating system installation and enters into the operating system, a “Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range” error message may appear as shown below:

Affected configurations

The above symptom is associated with, but not limited to, the following systems:

All ThinkServer systems

Applies to:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 x64

Additional Information:

This is an informative message only. This message is displayed any time memory is not being reserved for use by the kdump kernel such as the crash kernel parameter is not being passed on the kernel command line.

Solution

If you are not happy with ignoring that message I am going to post here how to remove it. This is one way that it can be done, if you know some other way you are more than welcome to post it here.

My solution is simple, as root you just need to edit your grub configuration and remove the quite option from the kernel line as follows:

cd /boot/grub/

vi grub.conf

before:

title CentOS (2.6.18-194.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img

after:

title CentOS (2.6.18-194.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img

That’s it, save, exit and reboot to check it:

# init 6

Running Virtualbox In A Xen Environment Is Not Supported

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)” on Linux

I recently installed the latest version of Oracle Virtual-box (4.3.26) on Linux5.8

The installation goes fine, but when trying to run Virtualbox, it reports the following error.

Solution:-

How to install Oracle VirtualBox:
a) Make sure that your system is up-to-date
b) Install the packages needed to compile external modules
# zypper in gcc make kernel-devel
- Note: In my case, 'make' was already installed
c) # zypper ar http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.4/ virtualbox
# zypper ref -r virtualbox
# zypper in VirtualBox-4.1
- Note: Additional package to install: libpng12-0
d) YaST > User and Group Management > Users > Edit > Details > Additional Groups > check "vboxusers" > OK > OK
e) Install VirtualBox ExtensionPack (necessary for USB support)
$ cd Downloads
$ wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.12/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.12-77245.vbox-extpack
# VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.12-77245.vbox-extpack
f) Reboot (necessary because of step d)
g) VirtualBox is now ready to use. After any kernel upgrade, you need to recompile the VBox kernel modules
# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Check Database growth

To calculate the Data-file Growth on a yearly basis:

SQL> select to_char(CREATION_TIME,'RRRR') year,to_char(CREATION_TIME,'MM') month,round(sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024) gb from v$datafile group by to_char(CREATION_TIME,'RRRR'),to_char(CREATION_TIME,'MM') order by 1,2;

YEAR MO GB

---- -- ----------

2000 12 1

2002 03 0

2002 05 1

2002 10 3

2003 01 2

2003 06 1

2003 11 19

Through OEM

Here are the steps to know Database growth pattern for last one month/year using OEM

1) Login to OEM and Click on the Reports Tab
2) Navigate to Reports–>Storage–>Oracle Database Space Usage path and Click on Oracle Database Space Usage link.
3) Select the Target database and here we are getting Oracle Database space usage for last one Month.
4) Also we can get one year Database growth by setting Set Time Period Button.
5) Also we can find Oracle Database Table-space Monthly Space Usage by Navigating Reports–>Storage–>Oracle Database Space Usage path and click on Oracle Database Table-space Monthly Space Usage link.

select sum(a.bytes+b.bytes)/1024/1024 "Total Size(MB)",sum(c.bytes)/1024/1024 "Used Space(MB)",sum(d.bytes)/1024/1024 "Free Space(MB)" from dba_data_files a,dba_temp_files b,dba_segments c,dba_free_space d;
