xen-tools

The xen-tools package contains a collection of Perl scripts for working with Xen guest images Linux. Using this software, you can easily create new Xen guests configured to be accessible over your local network and complete with an installed copy of OpenSSH. xen-tools currently has scripts to ... [More] install most releases of Debian (starting with 3.1 "Sarge") and Ubuntu (starting with 6.06 LTS "Dapper") as well as some RPM-based distributions. xen-tools are command line tools for creating and administrating Xen DomUs.

mylvmbackup

mylvmbackup is a Perl script for quickly creating backups of MySQL server's data files. To perform a backup, mylvmbackup obtains a read lock on all tables and flushes all server caches to disk, makes an LVM snapshot of the volume containing the MySQL data directory, and unlocks the tables again. ... [More] The snapshot process takes only a small amount of time. When it is done, the server can continue normal operations, while the actual file backup proceeds. [Less]

OpenSAN

OpenSAN is a free software project realizing Storage Area Network system. This is small firmware that turns server (having at least one hard drive) into an iSCSI target accessible through the Ethernet interface.

Zumastor

Zumastor:Enterprise Network Storage for Linux. Bringing great snapshot and remote replication support to Linux since 2007.

backuptab

backuptab is a bash script that parses fstab to find file systems on a Linux machine and then attempts to intelligently backup those partitions. If the partition is identified as a logical volume it uses LVM tools to create a snapshot of the volume for backup. If the partition is identified as ... [More] containing a guest machine (VMWare Server), it uses VMWare tools to suspend the guest machine while the snapshot, or dump, is created. Backup can be done to a local disk (file) or over the network using pre-shared keys and ssh. Backup level and schedule are done via command line parameters and cron. [Less]

python-hatools

python-HAtoolsSummaryPython-HAtools is a set of python modules and scripts designed to help you dynamically configure and manage resources commonly associated with high-availability applications on Linux. (Note: python-HAtools doesn't attempt to add any new HA resources to your environment, it ... [More] just makes management of those resources simpler and more flexible) The first release of python-HAtools will focus on block-level storage, and will include tools for managing: iSCSI IET/iscsi-target (http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net/) Open-iSCSI (http://www.open-iscsi.org) Volume management LVM2 (http://sourceware.org/lvm2/) Replication DRBD (http://www.drbd.org/) Future versions may allow management of additional functions: Heartbeat (http://linux-ha.org/Heartbeat) Multipath IO (http://christophe.varoqui.free.fr/) NFS (client and server configuration) Cluster filesystems GFS2 (http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/gfs/) Lustre (http://lustre.org) OCFS2 (http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/) Monitoring Nagios (http://www.nagios.org) Cacti (http://www.cacti.net/) OpenIPMI (http://openipmi.sourceforge.net/) GoalsOne of the goals of python-HAtools is to accomplish its work using the command-line configuration interfaces of the resources it manages. Where it makes sense, we also use status information from the /proc filesystem. We believe this approach has some advantages over library-API integration: Code that's easy for system administrators to follow Compile-free, portable installation The main disadvantage to this approach is performance. It's assumed, however, that the tasks performed by python-HAtools will not greatly benefit from the memory or speed increases to be gained by library-API integration, and that the users of python-HAtools will more greatly value convenience and familiarity. Another goal is to make the tools highly dynamic by storing as little internal state information as possible. We read the state information from the underlying system as often as possible to be sure that information is up-to-date and decisions are made on current state. StatusDevelopment on python-HAtools is just getting started. The iSCSI.Target (IET) module is functional, but is being reworked to conform to the project's goals. The next module to be completed will be iSCSI.Initiator, the client compliment to iSCSI.Target. [Less]

ndmp4linux

The idea I have for this project to to create a server application for Linux which allows NDMP capable backup servers to connect to a Linux host and backup data. Ideally, the implementation will allow for integration with LVM2 for creating and releasing snapshots before/after the backup begins/ends. ... [More] It should also integrate with the Linux VFS to sync all information to disk to ensure a consistent environment for backups. [Less]

cinwizardvs2003labview

This is a CIN (code interface node) creation wizard for Microsoft Visual Studio VS.2003 which parses CIN code file created by Labview and creates a compilable project. 8-14-08 I uploaded the actual published version of my article. The problem is that both (draft and published) were so heavily ... [More] edited by Labview Technical Resource staff, so sometimes meaning is lost. Also, I was not able to intervene, because the LTR was closed shortly after v.13-1 (Was it the last volume published, I wonder?) 8-20-08 Since CINs are not the most convenient stuff at the moment this wizard should be redone as dll wizard ...

python-lvm

IntroductionThis project provides a Python package with bindings to LVM. I'm using this project to manage partitions to use as disks in VirtualMachines but not all features are complete. So if some feature needs to be added just put on the issue tracking. Modulespython-lvm - Python package ... [More] with bindings to LVM. lvm-manager - PyGTK GUI application to manage LVM using python-lvm. Screenshots [Less]
