RBVM Networking

Sonic:

* '''IP Address:''' Each VM has it's own assigned address in the 136.206.16.0/24 subnet.
* '''Subnet Mask:''' 255.255.255.0
* '''Default Gateway:''' 136.206.16.254
* '''DNS Server:''' 136.206.16.254
* '''Time Server:''' 136.206.16.254

== Proxy Access ==

All outbound http(s) traffic must go through the proxy - proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie (136.206.16.254) port 3128

=== Ubuntu ===

To make sure apt uses the above proxy server, you need to add a file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ and put the details into it. Here's how you do it:

~> cd /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
~> sudo nano proxy

You'll be asked to enter your VM password at this point, before nano starts.

In this new file (proxy), type the following:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie:3128";

Hit Ctrl-x, then "y" to save the details.

----

To set your proxy system-wide you will need to edit you shellrc file. By default this is .bashrc on Ubuntu. Here's how you do it:

~> cd $HOME
~> nano .bashrc

Add the following lines to end of this file

export http_proxy="http://proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie:3128";
export https_proxy="http://proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie:3128";
export ftp_proxy="http://proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie:3128";

Hit Ctrl-x, then "y" to save the details.

Then you will need to logout and log back in for changes to take effect or you can run this command.

~> source .bashrc

And that's it. Simples.

== Email ==

Outbound email may be routed through mailhost.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie (136.206.16.254). Inbound email can not be accepted. For more information see the documentation on [[RBVM_Exim|configuring exim to send mail from your vm ]]

== SSH ==

You can [[RBVM_Ssh|ssh]] to and from your vm from minerva

RBVM Hardware

2011-07-12T16:02:54Z

Sonic:

There's now a couple of options for specifying what type of hardware you want attached to your virtual machine.

== NIC device ==
Some guest OSes may lack drivers for certain network cards. KVM/QEMU has a few different types available, you can choose which one you want to use with the "NIC device" dropdown on the VM management screen.

To save changes, make sure you click the red button to the right of the dropdown (I've made the mistake a couple of times of changing the option in the dropdown and just hitting power on). Also, note that if your VM is running, the change will not be instantaneous. You'll need to power off and power back on your VM for the change to take effect (think about it - would you change the ethernet card in a real machine while it was switched on?).

'''If you are getting timeout or dropped connections when transferring large files or anything else related to network issues try setting virtio as your NIC driver before escalating it as a bug''' [https://bugzilla.redbrick.dcu.ie/show_bug.cgi?id=99 (?)]

== Disable KVM IRQ chip ==
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what this does. Ticking the box makes RBVM set the -no-kvm-irqchip command-line option when launching your VM. The internet told me that this fixes lots of obscure problems that people have with some of the less common guest OSes (like [[RBVM_BSD|OpenBSD]]), so it seemed like a good idea to include a way to set it.

Like the NIC device selection, you need to click the red button to the right of the checkbox after changing it (again, I've made the mistake of ticking it and just hitting power on, and then wondered for ten minutes why it didn't work). Also, the change only takes effect when you power on your VM - if it's running, you need to power it off and then on again.

== Description ==
Insanely fast server is insanely fast. This will be the machine hosting our VMs, when we finally open them up to members. Werdz wrote a VM on/off button that people can log into, to er..turn their VMs on and off. This surprisingly critical piece of code was put in place on the 16th of February.

Daniel is a twin of [[Morpheus]] - they were both bought from the Sun Academic Matching Grant program (buy one server get one free).

Committee Timeline

Sonic:

A visual overview of who did what, when.

This gets less accurate the further back you go in time - I was working off the [[Committee]] page, making guesses at who resigned, when. 2006 onwards should be fairly accurate (working from memory). Feel free to make any corrections (it's a pig of a table, though, so you might want to work on it offline, and abuse the Show Preview function a bit).

At the very least, it shows the sheer number of people (and man hours) who have been involved in running Redbrick at one point or another.

Apparently the banner had been hiding in meeting room 3 since Tech Week 09. Ceiling Cat's screen, keyboard and mouse are brought down and attached to Coconut's laptop so that people can play with RedBrick's services at the desk. An animated ascii train is the highlight. Attol and Coconut crash a CA1 lecture. Attol gets stagefright and says about 5 words, so Carri and Coconut handle the rest of the crashed lectures.

A member feedback survey had been created a few months prior. There was a raffle between all respondents. Redgiant won the wonderful prize of "Granny Racing". He has yet to collect his prize.

Committee

2010-05-10T23:09:49Z

Sonic: /* 2009/10 (Current) */

The name given to the leadership of Redbrick. Elected every year at the Annual General Meeting it is composed of 13 members: three admins, three helpdesk, Webmaster, a first year rep, a Secretary, PRO, Ents Officer, Treasurer and Chairperson. The First Year Rep is elected at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), usually held during Clubs & Socs Week at the start of October. You must be a first year member to run for this position. All members of the committee are given ops in #lobby while the admins, along with previous system administrators still in the root group, hold [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_user root]. The webmaster may also hold root, upon passing a root competency test.

They are the Society's most popular target for abuse and insults and work tirelessly and without compensation for the Society they love so much. A list of past and present Committee members can be found at http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/committee/

An alternative view of the Committee is that it is a collection of the power-mad, the arrogant, the popular and the insulting. All members have their own opinions on that matter but most will agree that without the Committee Redbrick would not be able to function, and for that, and perhaps that alone, they deserve thanks.

Transferring Files

2010-05-05T12:00:57Z

Sonic: winscp link was not correct

Scp is a file transfer protocol which is just like ftp only it offers a more secure service. There are two ways of using scp, WinSCP which is a graphical user interface for Windows or the command line version. WinSCP is the easiest to explain so we'll do that one first.

== Getting WinSCP ==

To download WinSCP, just click [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/downloads/winscp.exe here!]

== Using WinSCP ==

When you first run WinSCP, this is the screen you will be faced with something like this:

[[Image:winscp.jpg]]

Fill in the host name as:
login.redbrick.dcu.ie

Then all you have to fill in is your username and password. The first time you do this it will ask you if you want to add the host to your cache - you just chose either yes or no. Selecting cancel will abort the connection.

== Transferring Files ==

Once you have logged in you will see a list of files on your computer on the left and a list of files on the server you have connected to on the right. To move files across, just click and drag the file from its source to where you want to move it to just like windows explorer. Then all you have to do is click "copy".

== Command Line scp ==

If you are using command line scp, there is different syntax if you want to move a file from your computer to another computer and if you want to get a file from another computer and put it on your own computer.
=== From Your Computer to Another Computer ===

When you want to move a file from your current computer to another computer you need to follow the following syntax:
scp fileOnComputer1 username@computer2:

For example:
scp exampleFile keloe@login.redbrick.dcu.ie
When it tries to authenticate you will be asked if you wish to continue, just say yes. You will then be asked for your password on computer2. In this case you would be asked for the password for your login to redbrick. The file will then be transfered from your computer to the redbrick server. I have the place after ":" empty which means that the file will go into my home directory. You could give a destination for where you want the file to go.

=== From Another Computer to Your Own ===

If you want to get a file from computer 2 and put it on your own computer the syntax is slightly different. You will have to use this syntax:
scp username@machine2:filename destination

For example:
scp keloe@enigma.redbrick.dcu.ie:myFile .
Again when it gets to the authentification stage you will be asked if you wish to continue. Just type yes. You will then be asked for the password to enigma. The full stop "." just means the file will copied into your current directory. You could substitute with another destination if you wanted.

Well that's it. All ya need to know about scp. If you've any questions don't hesitate in asking any member of the [[Helpdesk]] team. :-)
