If you want to get rid of the nasty 777 on all files/folders see:

find /path/to/base/dir -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
find /path/to/base/dir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644

remove files older than X days

Posted on July 21, 2016 by zwamneus

find example to remove files older than 5 days:

find /path/to/files* -mtime +5 -type f -exec rm {} \;

Note that this command will not work when it finds too many files. It will yield an error like:

bash: /usr/bin/find: Argument list too long

Use this:

find /path/to/files* -mtime +5 -type f | xargs rm

/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/omcliproxy: error while loading shared libraries: libdsupt.so.1

Posted on July 21, 2016 by zwamneus

After restoring DellOpenmanage from backup i got the following error:

/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/omcliproxy: error while loading shared libraries: libdsupt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The files (and symlinks) are located in:

/usr/local/opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/libdsupt.so
/usr/local/opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/libdsupt.so.1
/usr/local/opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64/libdsupt.so.1.100.147

I didn’t reboot my machine, so to get this working i had to make sure the ldconfigs where included in:
cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

After this i just ran an ldconfig
ldconfig

And all worked again:

Dell Openmanage SNMP No Such Object

Posted on January 15, 2014 by zwamneus

After upgrading your openmanage you could get a No Such Object in your monitoring.

snmpget -v2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID

To fix this issue:
sed -r -i 's/^(SNMP)=disable$/\1=enable/' /opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/srvadmin-omilcore/install.ini

Remove this file:
rm /opt/dell/srvadmin/var/lib/srvadmin-deng/dcsnmp.off

Restart Dell Openmanage:
srvadmin-services.sh restart

Restart SNMP:
service snmpd restart

Creating a custom SNMP oid for a bash script

Posted on January 6, 2014 by zwamneus

I would like to know how many files are in a certain directory, so i create a little one liner that counts them:
In my case i want to know the files on my replicated slave of postgres.
I make a directory in my snmp folder which is located in:/etc/snmp
mkdir /etc/snmp/scripts

Create a script you want:
vi /etc/snmp/scripts/postgresfiles.sh

Dont forget the #!/bin/bash or you will get a “Exec format error” this also happends if you enter a “new-line/blank” above your script
#!/bin/bash
ls -al /database/postgres/pgsql/data/pg_xlog | grep -c ^-

Also make your script executable:
chmod +x /etc/snmp/scripts/postgresfiles.sh

In my case my script returns the value 10.
sh /etc/snmp/scripts/postgresfiles.sh

After this we edit the snmpd.conf
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Add an extend after your disk/main config this looks something like:
syslocation yourlocation
syscontact yourcontact

disk / 10000
disk /var 10000
disk /usr 10000
disk /tmp 10000
disk /home 10000
disk /boot 10000
disk /database 10000
disk /database.san 10000

load 12 14 14

#PostgreSQL Monitoring
extend postgresfiles /etc/snmp/scripts/postgresfiles.sh

Next we restart SNMP
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart

Now we should have a custom extended oid which we could walk/get:
snmpget -v2c -c public localhost 'NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine."postgresfiles".1'

This should return something like:
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine."postgresfiles".1 = STRING: 10

Now we want to know what kind of OID belongs to this line, so we run the following:
snmptranslate -On 'NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine."postgresfiles".1'

In my case this returns the following oid:
1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.4.1.2.13.112.111.115.116.103.114.101.115.102.105.108.101.115.1

Now you can use this custom oid to make a graph in cacti or use it to monitor your server on custom scripts/oids

Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname when sending emails (504)

Posted on January 18, 2013 by zwamneus

Simple tip this afternoon. You may have got the following error when sending emails through ASP.Net’s built in mail server before:

From: postmaster@YourWebserversName [mailto:postmaster@YourWebserversName]
Sent: 29 June 2012 15:50
To: sender@sendingdomainname.com
Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

recipient@recievingdomainname.com

Reporting-MTA: dns;YourWebserversName
Received-From-MTA: dns;YourWebserversName
Arrival-Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 15:50:30 +0100

Final-Recipient: rfc822;recipient@recievingdomainname.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.5.0
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;504 <YourWebserversName>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname

The fix is easy:

  1. Open IIS
  2. View the properties of you Default SMTP Virtual Server
  3. Go to the “Delivery” tab
  4. Click the “Advanced” button (in the bottom right corner)
  5. Under “Fully-qualified domain name” enter a domain name that points to the server
  6. Click Ok until you’re back to IIS

Could not parse output, bad xml for package: dell_dup_componentid_00159

Posted on January 17, 2013 by zwamneus

We sometimes see problems updating our Dell machines to the latest firmware, ie. update_firmware --yes fails:

Running updates...
-	Installing dell_dup_componentid_00159 - 1.11.0Installation failed for
package: dell_dup_componentid_00159 - 1.11.0
aborting update...

The error message from the low-level command was:

Could not parse output, bad xml for package: dell_dup_componentid_00159

Dell have been unable to tell me why this is, or provide a fix or workaround.

Here’s what I did to get the firmware installed:

Note: that 1.11.0 is the version and could be different from the version you want to install.

Identify the component for which the update is being installed. In this case that is dell_dup_componentid_00159.

Find the update for that component under /usr/share/firmware/dell:

# find /usr/share/firmware/dell -name "dell_dup_componentid_00159*"

Output example:

# /usr/share/firmware/dell/dup/system_ven_0x1028_dev_0x028c/dell_dup_componentid_00159_version_1.11.0

Install the update:

# cd /usr/share/firmware/dell/dup/system_ven_0x1028_dev_0x028c/dell_dup_componentid_00159_version_1.11.0
# dellBiosUpdate -f PER410-010407.hdr -u

Output after install:

Performing BIOS update...
Update successfully staged. Reboot the system to begin BIOS update.
No reboot option specified. The --reboot option is highly recommended.

As this is a system BIOS update, it is necessary to reboot for the update to be finalised. Without the –reboot option (from the output above) you can choose yourself when to reboot your system.

# reboot
