How to connect Oracle Storage account in arcserver

 How to connect Oracle Storage account in arcserver?

When I tried to connect OCI Object storage with arcserver, I am getting an error saying failed to connect.

I tried the same credentials with Cloudberry and I encounter an error. But in cloudberry the error shows the reason. Fix for the error is http://www.linuxblackmagic.com/2021/10/authorization-mechanism-you-have.html

After fixing the error, I came to know that the issue is related to "Signature Version". For changing the signature version, there is no option in web. We need to go to "C:\Program Files\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\Management\BIN\CCI\Config"

then open the file "AmazonPlugin", change the line from true to false

# original

#Set S3SignerType Override to true

SIGNER_OVERRIDE=true

#after change

#Set S3SignerType Override to true

SIGNER_OVERRIDE=false

Then restart the arcserver.

Try to connect, your OCI object storage account will connect now.

Authorization mechanism you have provided is not supported. please use aws4-hmac-sha256

 When you work with AWS SDK or AWS S3 compatible storage, during the time of connection settings you may encounter this error 

authorization mechanism you have provided is not supported. please use aws4-hmac-sha256

I got this error when I tried to add a storage in Cloudberry tool. The destination is Oracle Object storage.

How to solve this error?

This is because of the signature version used is old. You need to Click on the "Advanced Settings", then on drop down of Signature version, choose 4.

Attaching Block Volume Storage in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Instance

 Attaching Block Volume Storage in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Instance

1. Login to your OCI console, search for block volume or from the left hamburger menu, select "Storage" then "Block Volume" then "Create Block Volume"

2. Input your block volume name, compartment, AD, block volume size etc.

3. Once it is created, go to your instance and from left side you can see "Attach Block Volumes"  Then you need to make sure the attach type, compartment.

4. At the right of the side, you can see "iSCSI Commands & Information", click on that, you will see the commands to attach the volume to the instance.

5. Login to the linux instance. Issue the above commands. You can see a successful message.

6. Now to identify attach volume or device use unix command lsblk. This command helps you to identify the device for me its /dev/sbd

7. Format the disk using unix command fdisk and make file system using unix commnd  mkfs as you want in this case i am gong to make it as ext4 command is mkfs.ext4 /dev/sbb.

8. Create a folder directory for the mount mkdir /data

9. For permanent mounting you need to add an entry in /etc/fstab

/dev/sbd1 /data ext4 defaults,noatime,_netdev 0 2

10. Now we are going to mount. mount /dev/sdb1 /data

That's it. You can verify it using the command df -h

sendmail sending email slow

 sendmail sending email slow

I have a linux box, which I configured sendmail and it is working fine. But the sending email is slow.

While checking the /var/log/maillogs I saw the following 

My unqualified host name (hostname) unknown; sleeping for retry

Sendmail is expecting a FQDN to start cleanly.

You need to set the hostname like <your_hostname>.localdomain and update /etc/hosts.

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   your_hostname.localdomain your_hostname localhost

Auto redirection of urls from http to https

Normally when a site is enabled with SSL, we need to auto redirect urls from http to https

Go to your web site's default document root folder.

Open your .httaccess file or create one ( I assume mod redirect is enabled in your web server)

Paste the below code.

RewriteEngine On 

RewriteCond %{HTTPS}  !=on 

RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] 

Test your domain without http, it will automatically redirect to https
