I don’t think you can get a guarantee to always have the same ordering. It is much easier to create a custom udev rules.

/etc/udev/rules.d/75-custom.rules:

KERNEL=="sd[b-z][1-9]" BUS=="scsi" SYSFS{serial}=="00000000014defbe2755" 
NAME="iscsi1" SYMLINK+="some_name1" 
KERNEL=="sd[b-z][1-9]" BUS=="scsi" SYSFS{serial}=="00000000014defbe2756" 
NAME="iscsi2" SYMLINK+="some_name2" 
KERNEL=="sd[b-z][1-9]" BUS=="scsi" SYSFS{serial}=="00000000014defbe2757" 
NAME="iscsi3" SYMLINK+="some_name3" 
KERNEL=="sd[b-z][1-9]" BUS=="scsi" SYSFS{serial}=="00000000014defbe2758" 
NAME="iscsi4" SYMLINK+="some_name4"

And get the SYSFS number from you’re iSCSI disk using the udevinfo command.
udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sdd)

udev gives you a lot of flexibility. Give it a try.

Cloning Servers in VMware

Create one good Windows 2000 template (called a Gold Master at VMware)with all the drivers, tools and utilities (winzip,acrobat,newsid) and patches (sp4, WindowsUpdate), but do not include it in a domain.Then you simply copy your Gold Master to another directory, start that system, newsid it, and then only insert it into your target domain.I always keep an updated copy my Gold Master around, so I can get a new server up and running in just the timeframe of copying one directory to another.

Airsnort & VMware

It’s going to be difficult as VMware does not pass PCMCIA Devices over to the Guest VM machines (unless this is now supported in VMware WS 4 which I haven’t tested). Your only luck would be to have the Orinoco Wireless card on the PCI bus…

xntpd with external DCF77 receiver problem (/dev/cua00)

I’m trying to install the xntpd3-5.93e-export package on a
OpenBSD 2.7 (i386) system, using a external time receiver
Expert mouseCLOCK using the DCF77 Clock from
[http://www.gudeads.kud.com/emc-e.htm .

I’ve configured it with the –enable-RAWDCF option and
connected the external time receiver on the serial port 0.

I tried /dev/cua00 and /dev/cua01 and I get the following
message :

I’m a bit stuck, reading the documentation for xntpd doesn’t give me a clue
on how to proceed right now. Any pointers ?

MicroVAX II : UNXINT error msg at boot

> I got an old MicroVAX II (KA630) system that hangs at the end of the CPU/MEMORY test process, And I get the UNXINT msg at the 6 countdown. Any ideas what the UNXINT means ?
Either it has detected unix on the internal disk and refused to run it… 😉 or that’s the “Unexpected Interrupt” error.  It means just that, and could be a symptom of more problems than I care to guess at.
Since this is a microvax II, I’d suggest first off that you remove all unnesecarry components, and try booting with only the cpu board. (obviously it won’t boot, but it should get past the self-test)
It the problem is on any other board you’d be able to work it out by process of elemination this way. (remember that qbus is very picky about the order of boards and leaving blank spaces…)

> and it freezes. I haven’t yet started poking inside the system to unplug a device or two to see if one is broken or not, but I surmises that the T?50 is broken.
Again, that’s the best way to do it, I’d guess.  Clean all the contacts while you’re at it… never hurts.Regards,  Christopher Smith

Looking for MicroVAX 2 (630QB-A3) Console settings Options

Hoff Hoffman answered:

Please take a look at the OpenVMS FAQ — it has a section on the MicroVAX 
console bulkhead and operation, and information on many other topics. 
(This is not the first time this question has been asked, obviously.)

  If you can’t get _any_ output (including simply garbage characters) on
  the console, then you probably have the wrong pinout, or you have a
  hardware or wiring problem.  The OpenVMS FAQ also has the MicroVAX DB9
  pinout — and it’s not the same DB9 pinout that is used on PC systems.

How do I install ssl26.tar.gz after the initial installation Options

Man, the installation of OpenBSD must have been my fastest
installation of an OS, like… ever. Man it was quick. Sure I only
selected base26,etc26,man26 and bsd. how can I add the ssl26
to this minimal installation ? Do I simply copy the 8 files
comping ssl26 in the directories, or can I run a script ?
If all my apps and configs happen as easy as the initial installation
I’m going to switch everything over to OpenBSD

Thanks for your hints…

 You used System 5000 at home ? Is it right ? It’s very costly solution.
How many PC’s and file servers work at your home ? ATM is backbone for home
network ?
Write us about your networks. We are all fascinated ! 
Sorry, in this time I have only HSSI router module for sale (but if you
need to connect your home with super-speed channel to Internet, HSSI is
preferred solution for these).
