Getting today’s Errors and Warnings from MySQL log

Quick one!

# Warnings

cat /var/log/mysqld.log |grep `date +%y%m%d` | grep "\[Warning\]"

# Errors

cat /var/log/mysqld.log |grep `date +%y%m%d` | grep "\[ERROR\]"

And a Bonus!
To get entries from X days ago:

cat /var/log/mysqld.log |grep `date --date="46 days ago" +%y%m%d`

AIX: NTP Service Basics

Hi all,
I always forget the command and have to search it again. For further searches, I expect to found in my own posts… 🙂

> To start Service

startsrc -s xntpd

> To stop Service

stopsrc -s xntpd

> Configuration File

/etc/ntpd.conf

Expect it be useful to you too.
See ya!

Linux: Resizing Swap Online

Hi all!
Quick one to resize swap online:

[root@server-db ~]# swapon -s
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/mapper/rootvg-lvswap              partition       5242872 373624  -1
[root@server-db ~]# vgs
VG                #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize   VFree
[...]
rootvg              1   6   0 wz--n- 135.69G 5.69G
[...]
[root@server-db ~]# lvextend -L +2048M /dev/mapper/rootvg-lvswap
Extending logical volume lvswap to 7.00 GB
Logical volume lvswap successfully resized
[root@server-db ~]# vgs
VG                #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize   VFree
[...]
rootvg              1   6   0 wz--n- 135.69G 3.69G
[...]
[root@server-db ~]# mkswap /dev/mapper/rootvg-lvswap
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 7516188 kB
[root@server-db ~]# swapoff /dev/mapper/rootvg-lvswap
[root@server-db ~]# swapon /dev/mapper/rootvg-lvswap
[root@server-db ~]# swapon -s
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority

Export/Backup directly to Zip using MKNOD!

We all faced that situation when we have to make a logical backup/export and haven’t so much area to do that, right?
We know the export usually compress a lot on zip/gzip… It wouldn’t be great if we can export directly to compressed file?

zip
This situation become much more common because of Datapump, that requires a directory accessible by database server. If you have not possibility to make a mounting point or any other area, this can help…

## BKP with MKNOD
BKP_DEST=/just/example
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`
cd $BKP_DEST
mknod bkp_$DATE.dmp p
gzip  bkp_$DATE.dmp.gz &
### Uncomment and Ajust one of:
## MySQL:
#mysqldump -u $user -p$password $database > bkp_$DATE.dmp
## Oracle (Datapump or EXP)
expdp \"/ as sysdba\" dumpfile=bkp_$DATE.dmp full=y directory=DIRECTORY_EXAMPLE logfile=log_bkpzipped.log compress=y
#expdp $user/$password dumpfile=bkp_$DATE.dmp full=y directory=DIRECTORY_EXAMPLE logfile=log_bkpzipped.log
#exp \"/ as sysdba\" file=bkp_$DATE.dmp log=log_bkpzipped.log compress=y [tables=owner.table,..] [owner=schema1,..] [...]

Linux Basic: Creating a Filesystem

From disk to filesystem:

> Rescan on scisi controller to detect the disk (controller id 0, in  this example)

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan

– List disks

fdisk -l

> Fdisk choosing options n -> new p->partition 1-> partition number

fdisk /dev/sdm

> Create physcal volume

pvcreate /dev/sdm1

> Create Volume Group

vgcreate oracle /dev/sdb1

> Rename Volume Group

vgrename oracle vgoracle

> Create LV

lvcreate -L 19G -n lvoracle vgoracle

> Extend LV

lvextend -L +990M /dev/vgoracle/lvoracle

> Make FileSystem

mkfs.ext3 -m 0 -v /dev/vgoracle/lvoracle

OBS: m 0 is the journal (for recovery in case of crash).  “0” because I don’t want it now. So, 100% of disco will be available for using on fs.

> Mount filesystem on Directory

mount -t ext3 /dev/vgoracle/lvoracle /oracle/

> Just to check:

$ df -h
/dev/mapper/vgoracle-lvoracle
20G  173M   20G   1% /oracle

 

Have a nice day!

Tip for the Future: Segmentation fault because of LD_LIBRARY_PATH

More than once I forgot to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in new environments and sometimes I faced awkward errors. The most common is “Segmentation Fault”.
Today a lost almost 15 minutes searching about Segmentation Fault related to Datapump on 11.2, then I realized I forgot the LD_LIBRARY_PATH again…

Other day, in a Upgrade from 11.2.0.3.6 to 11.2.0.4.2 I get stuck in lots of errors on upgrade process. Bullshit again, after a few minutes of errors and searching I founded a post, somewhere, talking about the variables setting.

So, Matheus from the Future: Check if LB_LIBRARY_PATH and other variables are setted for the right Oracle Home.

I expect this post save me from this same pain in the future. 😛
Thanks.

Matheus.

# Solution

On /etc/sysctl.conf ajust as below and then reload sysctl (“sysctl -p” as root):

#Old
#kernel.shmall = 24641536
#New
kernel.shmall = 4294967296

Shellscript: Master Blaster KB!

Hi all!
I frequently have to search about shellscript syntax (things like conditions and comparatives).

Shellscripting is not a daily routine, but sometimes it’s needed and I never remmember from the last time…

For those kind of people, this link/book shall be very helpful 🙂

(it’s in portguese, but everyone will understand…)

Thanks for this tools, Aurelio!

Have a nice week guys!

Mount Diretory from Remote RHEL7 Server (NFS)

Quick Post: To mount a directory via NFS from a RHEL7 remote server:

Souce Host:

[root@sourcehost ~]# cat /etc/exports
/oracle/sharedir targethost(rw,no_root_squash,insecure)
[root@sourcehost ~]# /bin/systemctl restart nfs.service

* Note: The “/bin/systemctl” is the new by RHEL7. For other versions you can just use “service nfs restart”.

Target Host:

[root@targethost ~]# mkdir -p /sourcehost/sharedir
[root@targethost ~]# mount -t nfs sourcehost:/oracle/sharedir /sourcehost/sharedir
[root@srac-his ~]# df -h /sourcehost/sharedir
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
sourcehost:/oracle/sharedir
100G 279M 100G 1% /sourcehost/sharedir

 

Have a nice weekend!
