installed another centos 5.7 for a web application on a vmware structure – i hate the hole packet management. had to do things like “configure the boot stages for the nrpe daemon”, adding strange yum repositorys *sigh
after the upgrade to jive sbs 4.5.5.2 the conversion node doesn`t work anymore. solution was to alter a table on the database machine:
alter table jiveDVRevision alter column metadata type varchar(5000);
old > (3500)
copied vm centos 5 machines with fixed ip settings to a different esxi server. put the machines in a vm net with an active dhcp server. the centos machines switched at boot-time to dhcp and automatically disabled the fixed ip settings. centos creates a new interface configuration file with dhcp settings. the old config file is backed. why ? the mac adress has changed ! (vmware moving). to prevent this you should probably configure the mac adresses from the old esxi system or adjust the network cfg files on centos.
centos go home ….
finished a enterprise social business software installation; very nice piece of software !
used : vmware esxi 4.1 @ ibmx3650 m3, 4* centos 5.5 64bit
