---++ Remove spikes in RRD Ganglia graphs

There is a script that does the trick on */opt/cscs/bin/remove_spikes*. The script is also attached in this page (see attachments below).

The process is something like this:
   * First make a backup of the rrd file =cp storage01_free_cms.rrd storage01_free_cms.rrd.backup=
   * Then dump the RRD data into an XML file: =rrdtool dump storage01_free_cms.rrd &gt; storage01_free_cms.rrd.xml=
   * Change the values you want to change inside the XML to *NaN*, for example: =sed 's/[0-9]\.[0-9]*e.13/NaN/' -i storage01_free_cms.rrd.xml=
   * And finally dump the data back to the RRD file, it should overwrite the previous values: =rrdtool restore -f storage01_free_cms.rrd.xml storage01_free_cms.rrd=
---++ ILOM tips and Tricks

We use iloms to access the machines. Here are some helpful hints:

1. Use the itools - istat, ioff, ion, ireset, idisk, etc in /root/bin

2, in order to set up a new ilom from, say supermicro, or IBM:

supermicro - username - ADMIN, password - ADMIN<br />ibm - username ADMIN, password - PASSW0RD (with a zero, I believe)

next, add user, etc:

ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.66.79 -U ADMIN user set name 3 root<br />ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.66.79 -U ADMIN user set password 3 changeme<br />ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.66.79 -U ADMIN user priv 3 4 1<br />ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.66.79 -U ADMIN user enable 3
