Installing Mono 2.6.7 On A CentOS 5.4 VMWare Image

1) Acquire Mono 2.6.7.tar.bz2

2) Extract it:

# tar jxvf mono-2.6.7.tar.bz2

3) Change everything to belong to root:root

# chown -R root:root mono-2.6.7/

4) Change into newly created directory:

# cd mono-2.6.7/

5) Configure, build, and install it:

# ./configure -prefix=/opt/mono; make; make install

6) Add the path to ~/.bash_profile or something as effective.

Since I started out working with a CentOS 5.4 VMWare virtual machine, I had to modify the instructions I found here.

I got my source tar.bz2 from Novell here.

Good link for building Mono for ARM here.

One Serial Technique For Two Linux Hosts

Let "A" and "B" be Linux hosts.
Let B be the Linux host we want to grab the serial (console) output from.

1) Run a null modem cable between A and B.
2) Added "console=ttyS0,9600" to the boot line of B.
3) cu -l /dev/ttyS0 | tee console-out-from-b.txt from A. (could use minicom too)
4) Reboot B.
5) Console output from B should be visible on A.

IB Fabric: Manipulating HSM Autostart

# Stop all HSMs
cmdall "service qlogic_fm stop"

# Keep Them Off
cmdall "chkconfig qlogic_fm off"

# Turn an HSM on for a particular host. Keep it on for reboot.
# On the chkconfig command, the runlevels are specified in
# the init script itself. So, you don't have to specify
# "--level 235" for example.
cmdall -h st146 "service qlogic_fm start"
cmdall -h st146 "chkconfig qlogic_fm reset"
