December 5th 2016 I have downloaded a new and optimalized labipa VM today. Instead of downloading the server1 and server2 VM files, consider creating them yourselves, it's realy nod difficult.: * server1 has IP address 192.168.4.210, gateway 192.168.4.2 and DNS set to 192.168.4.200 and is installed as CentOS 7.2 (1511) "Server with GUI". DISABLE ALL REPOSITORIES (rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/* and set the repository to ftp://labipa.example.com/repo. * server2 has IP address 192.168.4.220, gateway 192.168.4.2 and DNS set to 192.168.4.200 and is installed as CentOS 7.2 (1511) "Minimal Server". DISABLE ALL REPOSITORIES (rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/* and set the repository to ftp://labipa.example.com/repo. * Read the file "Using the VM Files" on this site for information on how to import these files in KVM, Virtual Box or VMware Workstation. VMware Player is NOT supported. * I noticed that installing software from the yum repositories breaks many parts of the VMs. It appears that CentOS dependency handling has some problems. The big change in the 3.0 VMs is that they are set up to use a repository that is based on CentOS 1511 (which is RHEL 7.2) within the labipa.example.com machine, this has made the labipa VM bigger. * You might not need to download the server1 and server2 files, they're easily set up manually. Just make sure that you set the repository on these servers to use ftp://labipa.example.com/pub and disable all online repositories. * IMPORTANT: if you do not disable the default online centos repositories, you WILL break the labs about Kerberized NFS * Read the file using the VM files for information on how to import these files in VMware Workstation, KVM and Oracle Virtual Box * USING THE FILES ON VIRTUAL BOX: I noticed that the information in the file "Using the VM files" is not complete for Virtual Box. Add the following steps to the procedure if you want to import these files in Virtual Box: ON WINDOWS 1. Download and install the "HashTab" utility from implbits.com. 2. Open the file labipa 3.0.mf from the extracted archive file with an editor 3. In this file you'll find two SHA1 checksums for the files labipa 3.0.ovf and labipa_3.0-disk1.vmdk. These need to be changed with the new SHA1 sums for the extracted files. 4. After installing "HashTab", in Windows Explorer, right click both these files, select "Properties" and copy the SHA1 checksum for the files. Replace the checksums in the labipa 3.0.mf file with the checksums that you've found here. 5. Make sure the labipa 3.0.mf file contains TWO lines, both should start with the text SHA1. That means that you need to press Enter after the first SHA1 sum you've found. ON MAC / Linux 1. Open the file labipa 3.0.mf from the extracted archive file with an editor 2. In this file you'll find two SHA1 checksums for the files labipa 3.0.ovf and labipa_3.0-disk1.vmdk. These need to be changed with the new SHA1 sums for the extracted files. 3. On Mac, use the "shasum" utility to calculate the new SHA1 checksum for the extracted files. On Linux, use the "sha1sum" utility. Replace the checksums in the labipa 3.0.mf file with the checksums that you've found here. If you have any questions or comments, please send feedback by email, using 3.0 virtual machines in the subject line. Thanks for your support! Sander mail@sandervanvugt.nl Technet24.ir
