virtualization - Routing single v6 /64 range to virtual machines

I am building a virtualisation host, and I want my virtual machines to be available via both v4 and v6 IP address.

The host I have (Xen 4.1.3 with Debian Wheezy in dom0) has one physical eth0 interface:

10.0.0.2/30 dev eth0

default via 10.0.0.1
2000:1111:1111:11111::2/64 dev eth0
default via 2000:1111:1111:11111::1 (aka fe80::1)

My ISP has assigned me a 10.100.0.0/28 IPv4 range, statically routed via 10.0.0.2.

On the host, I have built xenbr0 virtual bridge interface:

10.100.0.1/28 dev xenbr0

On each guest VM, I set any of unused addresses from 10.100.0.0/28, i.e:

10.100.0.2/28 dev eth0
default via 10.100.0.1

As expected (since host acts like a classic router), VM's are able to talk to the v4 internet without a hitch.

That's where my lack of experience with IPv6 kick in. From my understanding v6 addresses are routed pretty much the same like their v4 counterparts, which means that what I want to accomplish is impossible with only one /64 range (at least while eth0 & v6 gw are configured the way they are).

Is it possible to make use of a single IPv6 /64 range, so that VMs can have static IPv6 addresses, without having to go and ask my ISP for another /64 range that (I guess) would have to be statically routed via 2000:1111:1111:11111::2?

I tried to "split" this /64 network in two /65 networks, then reconfigure xenbr0 like this:

2000:1111:1111:11111:8000:2/65 dev xenbr0

Also, eth0 was reconfigured (only network size has changed from 64 to 65):

2000:1111:1111:11111::2/65 dev eth0
default via 2000:1111:1111:11111::1

Host did not loose IPv6 connectivity. However, guest VMs were unable to contact anything outside of host when configured like this:

2000:1111:1111:11111:8000::2/65 dev eth0
default via 2000:1111:1111:11111:8000::1

Any ideas on how to proceed?

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits,

apache 2.2 - Server Potentially Compromised -- c99madshell

So, low and behold, a legacy site we've been hosting for a client had a version of FCKEditor that allowed someone to upload the dreaded c99madshell exploit onto our web host. I'm not a big security buff -- frankly I'm just a dev currently responsible for S/A duties due to a loss of personnel. Accordingly, I'd love any help you server-faulters could provide in assessing the damage from the exploit. To give you a bit of information: The file was uploaded into a directory within the webroot, "/_img/fck_uploads/File/". The Apache user and group are restricted such that they can't log in and don't have permissions outside of the directory from which we serve sites. All the files had 770 permissions (user rwx, group rwx, other none) -- something I wanted to fix but was told to hold off on as it wasn't "high priority" (hopefully this changes that). So it seems the hackers could've easily executed the script. Now I wasn't able
