Configuring the GRUB File
A GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader) file is a boot loader package. It is responsible for loading and
transferring control to an operating system kernel software.
To edit the GRUB configuration file:
1. Connect to your FastServe machine with PuTTY or other terminal emulator.
Or connect a keyboard and a VGA
monitor directly to server.
You can also connect trough the IPMI console.
n
Log on as root.
2. Change the bigphysarea=131072 parameter to bigphysarea=26
2144 in /etc/default/grub
and save the new configuration. Use the following commands to initialize the change:
vim /etc/default/grub
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
3. Check the new /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file if it contains the new bigphysarea parameter:
cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | grep bigphysarea
4. Reboot of your FastServe | Live Edit or FastServe | Ingest server is not required; it can be
rebooted after the entire configuration is complete.
Configuring the Root File
A device with CentOS 7 installed requires adding the root file to /var/spool/cron/.
To configure the root file:
1. Connect to your FastServe machine with PuTTY or other terminal emulator.
Or connect a keyboard and a VGA
monitor directly to server.
You can also connect trough the IPMI console.
n
Log on as root.
2. Go to the /v
ar/spool/cron/ destination and check the content.
cd /var/spool/cron/
The content should be similar to this:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.21376 installed on Mon Oct 5 11:02:15 2009)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
SHELL=/bin/csh
03 * * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf >& /var/log/logrotate-
from-cron
3. Create the root file if it does not exist:
/var/spool/cron/root
4. Copy root file to the /var/spool/cron/ location.
