Where are yum downloaded packages saved in linux?

Leave a comment

The packages will be saved in /var/cache/yum/<repo-name>/packages/

You have to edit the /etc/yum.conf
from : keepcache=0 to : keepcache=1

keepcache=0  { Remove packages after successful instillation }

keepcache=1  { Keep packages after successful instillation }

[root@sip3 base]# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=1
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
bugtracker_url=http://bugs.centos.org/yum5bug

# Note: yum-RHN-plugin doesn't honor this.
metadata_expire=1h

installonly_limit = 5

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

How to configure Proxy Settings for the Unix / Linux Console

Leave a comment

You can use the following methods to configure your console to use a proxy server so that console based programs like wget could get connect to the internet through the proxy.

1 – Set the environment variable
# export http_proxy=http://DOMAIN\USERNAME:PASSWORD@SERVER:PORT/
# export ftp_proxy=http://DOMAIN\USERNAME:PASSWORD@SERVER:PORT/

In the above configuration you can ommit the DOMAIN\USERNAME:PASSWORD@ part if you are not using proxy authentication.

Note: If you get the following error when you try to use wget, you might have to pass the proxy authentication credentials to wget as arguments.

Connecting to SERVER:PORT... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy Authentication Required
11:14:45 ERROR 407: Proxy Authentication Required.
1.1 – Passing proxy authentication credentials to wget as arguments
$ wget --proxy-user "DOMAIN\USERNAME" --proxy-passwd "PASSWORD" URL
2 – Configure the proxy settings in the .bashrc
If you want set the proxy for all the users you can do it in the system wide .bashrc file.

nano /etc/bash.bashrc#proxy settings
export http_proxy=http://DOMAIN\USERNAME:PASSWORD@SERVER:PORT/
export ftp_proxy=http://DOMAIN\USERNAME:PASSWORD@SERVER:PORT/

Note: The system wide .bashrc file may not be available in all Linux systems and only can be used if you are using the bash shell

2.1 – Having an alias for wget with proxy
If you don’t want to pass the proxy arguments to wget all the time, you create an alias for wget in the .bashrc file

alias wget 'wget --proxy-user "DOMAIN\USERNAME" --proxy-passwd "PASSWORD"'

High Memory Utilized by ZFS File Data in Solaris

1 Comment

Today, In one of the server 42 % of the Physcial Memory has been allocated to ZFS File Data.

root@qctsun02:/tmp# echo ::memstat | mdb -k
Page Summary                Pages                MB  %Tot
------------     ----------------  ----------------  ----
Kernel                     337924              2640   16%
ZFS File Data              884736              6912   42%
Anon                       694708              5427   33%
Exec and libs               27627               215    1%
Page cache                  67434               526    3%
Free (cachelist)              976                 7    0%
Free (freelist)             83747               654    4%
Total                     2097152             16384

However the huge ZFS caches can cause a problem with applications which allocates a lot of memory on start up (for example Java-based applications).

The ideal size of the ZFS cache depends on what type of data you have, and how much data you have.

You can limit the size of the ZFS file cache by setting the zfs_arc_max in /etc/system as per your requirement, for example:

* limit ZFS ARC cache to 2G max: set zfs:zfs_arc_max =  2147483648

Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM)

From the {0} ok (OpenBoot prompt), type #. to get to sc> prompt

Note:  #. (Hash-Period) character sequence is the default escape character sequence for ALOM.
You can change the first character in the escape sequence by using the sc_escapechars variable.
For example:
sc> setsc sc_escapechars a.

{0} ok
