Installing a storage area network (SAN) on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

noreply@blogger.com (tec) — Thu, 09 Apr 2015 15:41:00 +0000

System info: `uname -a` returns: Linux tech 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A storage area network is implemented to access storage device from a remote machine in a way that it appears to be locally attached. This is implemented using Small Computer System Interface (SCSI).

A storage area network consists of:

1. Initiator (client)
2. Target (server)

Installation instructions:

Switch to super user. Use command: sudo -i or else use su root

sudo -i

A. Target installation on Ubuntu:

1. Install iscsitarget (iSCSI: Internet Small Computer System Interface)

apt-get install iscsitarget

Checkout: http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net/

2. Create a logical unit for storing data

dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/lun0 bs=1M count=1024

(lun: logical unit number)
We are creating a 1GB file (/root/lun0) for storing data on SAN.
Run "man dd" for more information on dd command.

3. Enable iscsitarget by editing /etc/default/iscsitarget and setting ISCSITARGET_ENABLE to 'true'.

ISCSITARGET_ENABLE=true

4. Configure ISCSI by editing file: /etc/iet/ietd.conf

Target iqn.2014-04.localhost:target0
    Lun 0 Path=/root/lun0,Type=fileio
    initiator-address 127.0.0.1

(iet: iscsi enterprise target)

Add a new target that points to created lun0 file (/root/lun0)
Check screenshot for reference.

5. Restart iscsitarget /etc/init.d/iscsitarget (start|stop|restart|...)

/etc/init.d/iscsitarget restart

B. Initiator configuration on Ubuntu:

1. Install open-iscsi

apt-get install open-iscsi

Checkout: http://www.open-iscsi.org/

2. Discover running instances of SAN target on a remote machine

iscsiadmn -m discovery -p 127.0.0.1 -t st

Use target IP
Run 'man iscsiadmn' for more information on arguments.

3. Login in to SAN target

iscsiadm --mode node --login --portal 127.0.0.1:3260 --target="iqn.2014-04.localhost:target0"

4. A new storage drive (SAN disk) shows up under /dev. You can view and format this virtual disk using GUI utility called "Disks"

5. Make a new partition table for our virtual disk

Replace /dev/sdX with your virtual disk which is like /dev/sdb in our case.

sudo fdisk /dev/sdx

<enter>

sudo fdisk /dev/sdX <---- In our case /dev/sdb is the virtual disk
n (add new partition table)
p (primary partition)
<enter> (enter, enter, enter for default values)
w (write table and exit)

Check screenshot for reference.

6. Format and make a new file system using mkfs on first partition of the virtual disk (/dev/sdX1)

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX1

7. Mount the new partition for use:

mkdir /root/san

mount /dev/sdX1 /root/san

Check back on "Disks" utility. Your storage area network drive should be ready for use.

Image processing using MagickCore

noreply@blogger.com (tec) — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 13:55:00 +0000

This was a fun project that I worked on last weekend. I learned a lot of GTK programming with C and also worked with ImageMagick core C API for image processing/analysis.

App description:

C++ Program with GUI to capture using remotely placed camera and read uncompressed TIFF Image to perform following functions (Menu Driven) Use of Overloading and Morphism is expected. Image Frame1 is used for displaying Original Image and Image Frame 2 is used for displaying the action performed.

• Sharpen the Image
• Convolution(overloading: FFT,Other)
• Blur the Image (Programmable rectangular Seed)
• Programmable image Contrast and Brightness
• Histogram
• Mean and Standard Deviation of image
• Rotate image by programmable angle

Automating menial Browser activity using Selenium

noreply@blogger.com (tec) — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 16:55:00 +0000

Today I stumbled across a marvelous Framework called Selenium which does browser automation. It lets you programmatically control a web browser session which can be used for automating tests or controlling browser to perform menial works.

Here's a small snippet that I put together for myself just to try out selenium's python bindings. Yes, python is the language of my choice currently! :) Selenium binds of various languages are available on their official website at : http://www.seleniumhq.org/

What this script does is open a third party website: way2sms.com, log me in using my username, password and then send a message to any number of my choice. All of this is done programmatically! So all I've to do is fire up a console and enter my username, password, a mobile number and a message and selenium will handle the rest. Of course, this is just an example and one can use this to perform a variety of tasks, boring or otherwise.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from datetime import datetime

def send(username, password, mobile, message):
  
  driver = webdriver.Firefox()
  driver.get("http://site25.way2sms.com/content/index.html")

  driver.find_element_by_id("username").send_keys(username)
  driver.find_element_by_id("password").send_keys(password)
  driver.find_element_by_id("loginBTN").send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

  driver.execute_script("goToMain('s')")
  driver.execute_script("loadSMSPage('sendSMS')")

  frame = driver.find_element_by_id("frame")
  driver.switch_to_frame(frame)

  driver.find_element_by_id("mobile").send_keys(mobile)
  driver.find_element_by_id("message").send_keys(message)
  driver.find_element_by_id("Send").send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

  driver.switch_to_default_content()
  driver.close()

You can install selenium python binding using:

sudo easy_install selenium

Since I hacked this together in hurry, it doesn't include any comments but the code should be self explanatory and easy to follow because all it does is find a web element (like an input box or a button) and send it a sequence of keys ( string value of action keys like RETURN ).

Automating tasks on a third party website requires a bit of inspection of web elements and javascripts, even stylesheet at times. This can be done using built-in web inspectors available with most of the modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox. As of now Firebug is the inspector of my choice.

Keep automating!

Capture/Record webcam, desktop and audio under Ubuntu 14.04

noreply@blogger.com (tec) — Thu, 07 Aug 2014 12:53:00 +0000

Bash script:

fname=`date +"%d.%m.%Y_%H:%M:%S_%P"`.'_screencast.mp4'
vlc --qt-minimal-view v4l2:///dev/video0 &
vlc --qt-minimal-view screen:// :screen-fps=20 :screen-follow-mouse :live-caching=300 :input-slave=alsa://hw:0,0 :sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=384,fps=5,acodec=mpga}:duplicate{dst=std{mux=mp4,access=file,dst='$fname'}}" &

These set of commands start two instances of VLC.
The first command fires up a minimal view of VLC with video source "/dev/video0" (the default location of webcamera in most general cases).

The second command starts another minimal VLC instance with video from screen:// (desktop) and audio from default built-in microphone "hw:0,0". Output is encoded and saved in current directory as an mp4 file.

Recording stops when you close VLC instances.

Aim: A book shop maintains the inventory of books that are being sold at the shop. The list includes details such as author, title, price, publisher and stock position. Whenever a
customer wants a book, the sales person inputs the title and author and the system
searches the list and displays whether it is available or not. If it is not, an appropriate
message is displayed. If it is, then the system displays the book details and requests
for the number of copies required. If the requested copies book details and requests
for the number of copies required. If the requested copies are available, the total cost
of the requested copies is displayed; otherwise the message "Required copies not in
stock" is displayed. Design a system using a class called books with suitable member functions and
Constructors. Use new operator in constructors to allocate memory space required.
Implement C++ program for the system.

PageSpeed Insights - Google not following its own suggestions

noreply@blogger.com (tec) — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 08:24:00 +0000

PageSpeed Insights is a very handy tool offers by Google that lets webmasters check loading performance of a webpage. It generates very detailed analysis report and provides useful suggestions to make webpages load faster, it also provides a PageSpeed Score out of 100.

The tool is available at following address:

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights

When I analyzed the home page of this blog, it got a PageSpeed Score of 95 (out of 100). That's a number I can live with. :P It also provided some medium and low priority suggestions.

Now here's the thing that's bugging me.

1. This Javascript file rests on Google's server. How am I supposed to optimize this?

2. Same with these CSS files.

Yet another set of suggestions I can't work on because all the files belong to blogger, Google, Goolge plus.

I think Google should start following its own suggestions or quit providing such suggestions or may be Google expects webmasters to quit using Adsense, Google search for websites etc to optimize page speed.
