Subject: RE: Webdev logs (JBoss and Apache logs for new Infrastructure)

Hello All,
The below is the log directory structure for the new JBoss infrastructure.
Note that we will sweep through the existing DEV and TST environments are reconfigure them to write their logs to their new locations.

[root@haldevjbs01 PRD]# mount -v  | grep logs
nasit:/web_nonprod/dev01_logs on /logs type nfs (rw,soft,intr,addr=10.194.45.103)

/logs/DEV
/logs/DEV/haldevweb01
/logs/DEV/haldevjbs01
/logs/DEV/haldevjbs02

/logs/TST
/logs/TST/haltstweb01
/logs/TST/haltstjbs01
/logs/TST/haltstjbs02

/logs/STG
/logs/STG/halstgweb01
/logs/STG/halstgjbs01
/logs/STG/halstgjbs02
/logs/STG/halstgjbs03
/logs/STG/halstgjbs04

Note for PRD ENV (yet to be configured/deployed),
The logs will be on a separate NFS share to be configured with the same structure:
/logs/PRD
/logs/PRD/halprdweb01
/logs/PRD/halprdjbs01
/logs/PRD/halprdjbs02
/logs/PRD/halprdjbs03
/logs/PRD/halprdjbs04

Subject: Webdev logs

You now have access to the logs from the 2 JBoss instances in webdev from your developer vm in the folders /mnt/haldevjbs01 and /mnt/haldevjbs02. We are working on standardizing the way that developers can access infrastructure server logs so those path might change in the future. We'll let everybody know if we change it.

Thanks!

Yes, we have support. You can open a ticket at http://www.netsarang.com/support/request_form.html if you need my help let me know. I actually think I had this problem yesterday.

Mike, do we have any kind of support with XManager? Developers are having issues where Xmanager locks up if they don't touch the Window for a few hours.

FYI -- I installed the latest version of Xmanager and kept my VM open overnight and it still stopped working, and effectively locked-up on my machine.

Thanks,

Sudo for web_app

From: Schumacher, Mike (HAL)

Subject: sudo webapp on haldevjbs01

Sridhar,

I found the issues for using sudo to the webapp account. You need to run the following command in order to become the webapp user.
"sudo -u webapp /bin/bash" then enter your passwd. If you are in your home directory you will get a permissions error like the one below.

[szb@haldevjbs01 ~]$ sudo -u webapp /bin/bash
bash: /home/szb/.bashrc: Permission denied

That is because the user webapp doesn't have write permissions in your home directory but you are now user webapp. Just cd out of your home directory. If you want to make sure your now webapp type "id" on the command line.

Thanks-

Mike Schumacher

VM Observations

Things to Consider

  • Developers do not have root access
    • May not be able to override some settings
    • Will not know how admin configurations work, need to rely upon Unix team
    • Should match environments, if in synch
    • Maybe we need a root machine as a sandbox for playing with jBoss configurations, otherwise we rely upon Unix team for all configuration knowledge
  • Who will support the VM's and re-imaging of them when necessary
  • xManager seems to have issues after staying open for several hours on our machines, this appears to be an xManager issue, also once the session is closed everything stops
  • Slight delay when switching screens, and copy/pasting
  • Turning on session replication
    • Session size is important to watch again!
    • Page will crash if session object is NOT serializable
  • Unable to print
  • Remotely connect to Linux VM directly (rather than through work PC)
    • Mike Schumacher said that this might be doable if (1) we use apps.halw.com to instead of vpn.halw.com and (2) he would install XManager client on the Citrix Server. He said that they would need to set up access rights for me so that I could test it.
  • Local development should explode the EAR file to avoid having to do a complete build to change a JSP
  • Quirks in Jboss dev studio that I should be able to fix myself, but haven’t yet
    • Not getting help from the IDE like code complete (where you type an object and all the methods come up)
    • If I have an issue (like missing an import, etc.), the line is not highlighted red, the import statement isn’t automatically added like it is in the Eclipse that I used to use, and I can’t tell until I do a build
    • How do we run in debug mode where we can set breakpoints?
  • Quirk with the VM
    • Cannot reboot the VM
    • Sonya Hint: Hitting XManager’s Close button (x button) kills the gnome session, which kills everything. When you are using XManager, when you are done, you should close all apps and then go to System >> Log off
