Creating YUM Repository Server

When it comes to installing yum repository server there are some requirements:
  • Instalattion tree (can be extracted from linux distribution dvd)
  • YUM repository
  • Network service that is hosting repository and packages. (can be http or ftp server)
I use http for hosting repository. In the apache.conf


DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"


Copy installation tree from dvd iso
# mount -o loop /redhatisos/rhel-server-5.7-x86_64-dvd.iso /mnt/dvdrom
# cd /mnt/dvdrom
# cp -fr * /var/www/html/5.7-x86_64/
# cd /var/www/html/5.7-x86_64


Create yum repository with the following command
# createrepo -o /var/www/html/rhrepos/5.7-x86_64 .


Then go to client and test yum
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/my.repo

[my]
name= RHEL Server Repository 
baseurl=http://<server name>/5.7-x86_64
enabled=1 
gpgcheck=0


# yum clean all
# yum list

Creating Multiple VLANs over Bonding Interfaces with Proper Routing on a Centos Linux Host

In this post, I am going to explain configuring multiple VLANs on a bond interface. First and foremost, I would like to describe the environment and give details of the infrastructure. The server has 4 Ethernet links to a layer 3 switch with names: enp3s0f0, enp3s0f1, enp4s0f0, enp4s0f1 There are two bond interfaces both configured as active-backup bond0, bond1 enp4s0f0 and enp4s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond0. Bond0 is for making ssh connections and management only so corresponding switch ports are not configured in trunk mode. enp3s0f0 and enp3s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond1. Bond1 is for data and corresponding switch ports are configured in trunk mode. Bond0 is the default gateway for the server and has IP address 10.1.10.11 Bond1 has three subinterfaces with VLAN 4, 36, 41. IP addresses are 10.1.3.11, 10.1.35.11, 10.1.40.11 respectively. Proper communication with other servers on the network we should use routing tables. There are three

Listing Zimbra Accounts with Some Details

Recently I have to export the user list for a particular domain. Luckily Zimbra has Admin GUI with a search feature. When you search accounts, you can download search results as a comma-separated csv file.

So I had to write a bash script to get the desired list. Here is the bash script ( It can be customized by adding or removing field names. Run it under zimbra user like ./zimbra_account_list.sh <domain_name_here> ):
