How to disable Ctrl+Alt+Del restarting in CentOS

In CentOS, the action taken when Ctrl+Alt+Del pressed is based on the configuration file located in "/etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf"
Just disable the line which specifies the restart action.
 
vi /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf

comment the line

#exec /sbin/shutdown -r now “Control-Alt-Delete pressed”

 :wq (save and exit)

 that should do the trick!!! 
Cheers!!!

Template/Image migration with reduced file size

Image
In any migration or moving the data from one platform to another, the most difficult challenge is the file size of the image. When we convert the VM instance as a template/image/snapshot it is nothing but a complete clone of the entire disk along with free sectors. Hence even the data is only 10GB the image will be around 30GB or more when the disk size is around 40GB. Moving or uploading a 30GB file over ethernet (even in fast ethernet), it is still a difficult time consuming job and it must work without interruption.   We faced a similar challenges in moving the templates from Openstack platform to VMware Esxi. In this blog, we will explain how we move the Openstack Virtual machine to VMware Esxi host with minimal effort and 100% working. I'm actually covering only QCOW2 image to VMDK image conversion in this section, however using the same methods we can do the conversion between any formats like QCOW2 to VHD, QCOW2 to OVA and vice versa.  Let us go step by step....

Software topology As mentioned, we’ll use the following set of software: the services themselves; HAProxy for making the services HA; and Keepalived for making HAProxy HA. Getting hands-on Suppose we have two machines, from which we want to make an HA OpenStack controller pair, installing both the API services and Keepalived + HAProxy. Suppose machine 1 has address 192.168.56.200, machine 2 has address 192.168.56.201, and we want the services to be accessible through virtual IP 192.168.56.210. And suppose all these IPs are on eth1. Installing necessary packages $ sudo apt-get install haproxy keepalived Configuration of haproxy This configuration is identical on both nodes and resides in /et...
