Posted: September 15th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: debian, it, linux | Tags: , | No Comments »

to have a separate logfile for openldap add to /etc/rsyslog.conf:
local4.* /var/log/openldap.log
touch /var/log/openldap.log
/etc/init.d/rsyslog restart

to have the logfile in the logrotation add a config file to /etc/logrotate.d/ :

/var/log/openldap.log
{
rotate 7
daily
missingok
notifempty
delaycompress
compress
postrotate
invoke-rc.d rsyslog reload > /dev/null
endscript
}

to change the loglevel edit /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn\=config.ldif :

olcLogLevel: 256

two ssg5`s and a mag2600 arrived for production, will do a classic ipsec vpn setup between the branches and a hopefully funky sslvpn setup … ๐Ÿ™‚

hello lion, hello ssd, hello quickness

Posted: September 9th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: apple, it | Tags: | No Comments »

after i mounted the new disk, removed the dvd drive, i build a lion usb install device and did a clean install on the ssd, switched the user directory on my old -now second- harddisk. now the boot time for the 10,5 mbp is about 25 sec. installed xcode with the app store + macports for my linux stuff. some small fixes to get vim working correctly (arrow keys, backspace/delete problems):

:set backspace=2
:set nocompatible

the system is much faster, though there is a sata2 bus and the ssd could do sata3 …

ibm ds4700 / logical drive not on preferred path

Posted: September 6th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: ibm, infrastructure, it, virtualization | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

a ibm ds4700 with four exp 810 units lost it`s preferred path setting for one controller /some logical drives. consequences : there were some machines with non-redundant paths connected to the san – these machines lost their mounted luns.(datastore for a mail machine, datastore for a fileserver with 14TB…) first i changed on the fibre channel switch fabric the zoneing to the healthy controller and remounted the drives to get the server systems back on production. after some research i seems to be clear that the solution is just only to map the logical drives back to the preferred controller/path … *sigh you can change the controller settings for the logical drives under production scenario. learned: do *all* fc/san connections redundant – don`t save money on your fibrechannel san design … ๐Ÿ™‚

unstable iphone firmware

Posted: September 4th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: apple, iphone, it | Tags: , | No Comments »

upgraded my iphone firmware a few weeks ago from 4.2.1 to 4.3.3 – since the upgrade the phone is running not really stable anymore. sometimes it hangs, sometimes it crashes completly. i can`t figure out what`s causing the problem – but
probably i will wait for ios 5 before downgrading again…
