Introducing.. lseth/lsnet

Hi everyone,

I am not sure about you but systems with many interfaces and ips hurt my eyes.
Thus, a few months ago, I started writing a small tool to help display relevant information in a more compact way.
I named this tool 'lseth' and its python rewrite will become 'lsnet'. It can display Linux bonds, the active interface and the current MAC of the bond.

Here's what it does:

On a RHEL7.1 system with OSP7, instead of this:
  1. # ip a s

It's still a very rough work in progress but I'd like to share it with all the good people here to get valuable input (would it be useful in your daily job?, RFE's, etc..)
Meanwhile, I already know I'll want to:
1) populate entries that are related to OVS and OVS-Bonds.
2) fix a few bugs (infiniband, etc..)
3) rewrite the whole thing in python to make it faster
4) add an option to explore the network namespaces and display interfaces underneath.


Ideas are most welcomed!

    For those interested, there is an excellent tool (now part of OSP7) to graphically display everything: plotnetcfg

    Thanks, this is quite handy. I did find that the output might be wrong if the description variables weren't reset at the top of each loop. Here's the diff for how I fixed it:

      Hi sln,
      Thanks for the fix, I uploaded a more recent version that includes your changes and a few others.

LSI MegaRaid HBA's, overheating and one ugly hack

Image
Summer is here! Like many others, I have LSI MegaRaid HBA's that I use in desktop machines. These things are great but they tend to overheat and quite a few people have reported high temperature  findings (97C reported by the chip when idle'ing in both my Dell T410 and my Dell T5610): $  sudo megaclisas-status -- Controller information -- -- ID | H/W Model                  | RAM    | Temp | Firmware      c0    | LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i   | 1024MB | 97C  | FW: 23.32.0-0009  c1    | LSI MegaRAID SAS 9280-4i4e | 512MB  | N/A  | FW: 12.15.0-0205  [...] I had never really bothered about the temperature but when I started to rebuild my T410's boot LD (Raid-1) to swap the 2Tb drives with 4Tb drives I had, things started to get complicated quickly. As soon as the mirror started rebuilding, the ROC temp (sitting around 97C) skyrocketted to 102C and so...

Some Tips about running a Dell PowerEdge Tower Server as your workstation

Image
Some use workstations as servers. I'm using servers as workstations. Over the years, I've changed computing gear on quite a few occasions. I've been using Tower Servers for the past 5 years and would like to share some tips to help others. But why would anyone want to do that?? - Servers are well integrated systems and are usually seriously designed and tested. - They offer greater expandability (6x3.5" hotswap bays in my previous T410, now 8x3.5" in my T430). - They usually include some kind of Remote Access Card (RAC) which is great for remote'ing in when all else has failed. - I can get tons of server equipment on ebay that will be compatible with that system. - Where else can I get 192Gb of ECC DDR4 RDIMM, dual 6-core Xeons and 8 hotswap bays? Tip #1 : Choose your chassis with care. Not all servers are created equal: - Rack servers are usually thin and noisy (those 8k rpm fans have the job of cool that 2U enclosure). It is n...

VMWare Worksation 12 on Fedora Core 23/24 (fc23 and fc24)

Image
Update (20170321): VMware released VMW 12.5.4, which fixes all of the current issues with Fedora and the latest kernels (AFAIK). The hacks described on this page ARE NO LONGER NEEDED NOR MAINTAINED . Update (20160921): VMware released VMW 12.5, which is supposed to work fine out of the box.  I updated  Update_VMW.sh  to avoid patch anything -else- than VMW 11.x or 12.{0,1}. Please report back if you need assistance. Update (20160630):  I updated  Update_VMW.sh  to support Fedora Core 24 (fc24) for which the changes needed are the same. Please report back if you need assistance. Update (20160525): I updated my  Update_VMW.sh  script to patch the VMware kernel modules so they work on kernel 4.4.x and above (FC23+). Tested successfully with VMW 12.1.1. Update (20151209): This is still needed on 12.1.0 but I wrote a small tool to make everyone's life easier:  Update_VMW.sh VMWare workstation 12.0.1 Pro stopped working when I upgraded...
