Install VirtualBox extension pack from command line

Quick one this but as I run VirtualBox as myself, not root, I always have problems installing the latest extension pack once I've updated SUNWvbox.

Steps are;

pfexec su -
VBoxManage extpack install --replace Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.8.vbox-extpack

Solaris/apache/PHP update

Having just updated to the latest version of Solaris and its packages, I've had a bit of pain due to apache going from 2.2 to 2.4 and also a php upgrade.

Much thrashing about has ensued, but the key points were;

Apache
httpd.conf 
Some of the syntax has changed. The old approach of lift and shift no longer works so lines have to be copied over individually and updated as per the comments.

.htaccess
The format of allow,deny lines has changed so any local .htaccess files need updating.
For more info see https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html

Running as none webservd user
Adjust SMF properties with svccfg and change log file ownership as required.

PHP
Lots of pain here, which I think boiled down to all extensions being commented out by default.
Fix was to uncomment all lines in /etc/php/5.6/conf.d/extensions.ini

CentOS + VirtualBox Guest Additions

Secret sauce to be able to run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

yum group install "Development Tools"
yum install kernel-devel

Slimserver on CentOS Linux running under VirtualBox on Solaris

New Slimserver install

I got some time over Christmas to update my home server, so have migrated my Slimserver aka Squeezeboxserver aka LogitechMediaServer systems from Ubuntu onto brand new clean CentOS installs.

What follows is the recipe I followed to achieve this.

Configuration

• Host system: Solaris 11 x86
• Virtualisation software: Virtual Box
• Squeezebox platform: CentOS

Install and configuration steps

First up, download the latest CentOS ISO, configure a VirtualBox instance, and run through a minimal install.Then run through the following;

Configure IP address

cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
vi ifcfg-enp0s3
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.90
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.2
NM_CONTROLLED=no
ONBOOT=yes

Fix sudoers so we can sudo without a password

%wheel  ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

Update /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 192.168.0.1
reboot now

Update OS

yum update

Install guest additions

yum groupinstall "Development tools"
reboot now
Insert guest additions from menu option in machine console
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
sh /mnt/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
umount /mnt
reboot now

Ensure vboxsf module is loaded at boot

Without this the kernel module to enable VirtualBox isn't available when the OS comes to boot mount the shared filesystem.

vi /etc/rc.modules
modprobe vboxsf
chmod 755 /etc/rc.modules
reboot now

Present shared folder with mp3

NB: I had a load of hassle with the shared folder. I kept getting protocol errors which I believe were due to mount point being in use or some other such annoyance but eventually it worked with the following settings and a reboot.
Present SharedFolder and ensure it is not set to Auto-Mount, then update /etc/fstab so it is mounted on reboot

vi /etc/fstab
mp3 /mp3 vboxsf uid=richard,ro 0 0
mkdir /mp3

Install slimserver

Now we have a working OS, let's install the slimserver software.


yum install wget
wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.7.5/logitechmediaserver-7.7.5-1.noarch.rpm
rpm --install logitechmediaserver-7.7.5-1.noarch.rpm

The startup script needs to be edited so all perl libraries can be found.
vi /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver
..after INIT INFO comments at top, set our @INC
PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl:/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/lib
export PERL5LIB

Add firewall rule

cd /etc/firewalld/services
vi slimserver.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<service>
<short>slimserver</short>
<description>Slimserver
9000 TCP is used for the Web interface and streaming to Squeezebox players.
9000 UDP is not used for anything.
3483 TCP is the control channel for Squeezeboxen (display, IR, etc.)
3483 UDP is used for SB->SlimServer discovery, and all control and
streaming to the old SLIMP3 players
</description>
<port protocol="tcp" port="9000"/>
<port protocol="tcp" port="3483"/>
<port protocol="udp" port="3483"/>
</service>

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=slimserver
firewall-cmd --reload
firewall-cmd --list-services

Install required perl modules

yum install perl-HTTP-Cookies.noarch perl-CGI.noarch perl-Digest-MD5.x86_64
/etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver start
/etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver stop

Reload systemd config and reboot

Confirm startup settings are refreshed, and slimserver will start.
Then reboot to confirm all good.

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable squeezeboxserver
systemctl start squeezeboxserver
reboot now

Fix configuration

Once booted we should be up and running.
So point browser at IP:9000, enter login details, then ensure we are using the correct library source for our mp3 collection.

If migrating, previous preferences can be copied over at this point.
Note that just copying over the server.prefs is problematic. Presumably due to UUID clash if the old slimserver instance is running.
Prefs are held under /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs
If required, we can reinitialise server.prefs by making it zero length.

First of all, stop slimserver
systemctl stop squeezeboxserver


Now copy prefs lines from old file up to _ts_allowedHosts - insert at beginning of existing prefs file. This will keep all of our presets.

Also copy over favorites.opml,and then restart;
systemctl start squeezeboxserver

BBC iPlayer config

This was not straightforward due to finding the correct repo and also a missing library which doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. The missing library is the secret sauce here!

Add this repo in the plugins page;
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/betarelease-repo.xml
Tick "Update plugins automatically" and "Show all 3rd party plugins".

Restart slimserver;
systemctl restart squeezeboxserver
Repeat until no more messages re. plugins updated, restart required.
NB: It is preferable to use systemd to restart so it can keep track of PIDs.

Tick "BBCiPlayer - DASH" and "BBCiPlayerExtra" and apply.

Now for secret sauce
systemctl stop squeezeboxserver
yum install glibc.i686
systemctl start squeezeboxserver


Now we should have a CentOS OS with Slimserver and iPlayer plugin working.

The only other thing to mention here is that after my initial install I decided to rename the server. Easy enough within CentOS, but to rename the VM and it's disk files, use the VirtualBox GUI as this keeps all of the config files consistent.

Ubuntu VirtualBox instance reinstalled as CentOS

Firstly, log onto the virtualbox and shutdown, before taking a snapshot;

# VBoxManage snapshot morrison take 100714 --description "ubuntu"


Virtualbox additions was on port 1, device 0, so I had to blow away the controller and start again, but with CentOS ISO attached. Before I did this, I could not boot off the CentOS ISO.

# VBoxManage storagectl morrison --name "IDE Controller" --remove

# VBoxManage storageattach morrison --storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium //tank/downloads/OS/CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD.iso

# VBoxManage startvm --type headless morrison

F12 to select boot device

... and off we go

Replacing an rpool disk on x86 on Solaris 11.1

Replacing a failed disk in a mirrored rpool

Usual ZFS command

zpool replace -f rpool c9t1d0s0

Important bit

(without this you don't get grub so the box won't boot)

bootadm install-bootloader

All documented, but I can confirm that this works.

Upgrade from OpenSolaris to Solaris 11

NB: This is an old post that has sat in draft for months. Since this I have done a fresh install to Solaris 11.1 as the pkg database was in such a state that I could not upgrade.

=====

I had some grief with this, and I think it was due to a corrupted SUNWPython install. Anyway, here's what I had to do. Hopefully it will be of interest to someone else..
