rhel 7 vs rhel 6 diff

By OK -
FeaturesRHEL 7RHEL 6
Default File SystemXFSEXT4
Kernel Version3.10.x-x kernel2.6.x-x Kernel
Kernel Code NameMaipoSantiago
General Availability Date of First Major Release2014-06-09 (Kernel Version 3.10.0-123)2010-11-09 (Kernel Version 2.6.32-71)
First Processsystemd (process ID 1)init (process ID 1)
Runlevelrunlevels are called as "targets" as shown below:

runlevel0.target -> poweroff.target
runlevel1.target -> rescue.target
runlevel2.target -> multi-user.target
runlevel3.target -> multi-user.target
runlevel4.target -> multi-user.target
runlevel5.target -> graphical.target
runlevel6.target -> reboot.target

/etc/systemd/system/default.target (this by default is linked to the multi-user target)		Traditional runlevels defined :

runlevel 0
runlevel 1
runlevel 2
runlevel 3
runlevel 4
runlevel 5
runlevel 6

and the default runlevel would be defined in /etc/inittab file.
/etc/inittab
Host Name ChangeIn Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, as part of the move to the new init system (systemd), the hostname variable is defined in /etc/hostname.In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the hostname variable was defined in the /etc/sysconfig/network configuration file.
Change In UID AllocationBy default any new users created would get UIDs assigned starting from 1000.

This could be changed in /etc/login.defs if required.		Default UID assigned to users would start from 500.


This could be changed in /etc/login.defs if required.
Max Supported File SizeMaximum (individual) file size = 500TB
Maximum filesystem size = 500TB

(This maximum file size is only on 64-bit machines. Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not support XFS on 32-bit machines.)		Maximum (individual) file size = 16TB
Maximum filesystem size = 16TB

(This maximum file size is based on a 64-bit machine. On a 32-bit machine, the maximum files size is 8TB.)
File System Check"xfs_repair"

XFS does not run a file system check at boot time.		"e2fsck"

File system check would gets executed at boot time.
Differences Between xfs_repair & e2fsck
"xfs_repair"

- Inode and inode blockmap (addressing) checks.
- Inode allocation map checks.
- Inode size checks.
- Directory checks.
- Pathname checks.
- Link count checks.
- Freemap checks.
- Super block checks.
"e2fsck"

- Inode, block, and size checks.

- Directory structure checks.

- Directory connectivity checks.

- Reference count checks.

- Group summary info checks.
Difference Between xfs_growfs & resize2fs"xfs_growfs"

xfs_growfs takes mount point as arguments.		"resize2fs"

resize2fs takes logical volume name as arguments.
Change In File System Structure/bin, /sbin, /lib, and /lib64 are now nested under /usr./bin, /sbin, /lib, and /lib64 are usually under /
Boot LoaderGRUB 2
Supports GPT, additional firmware types, including BIOS, EFI and OpenFirmwar. Ability to boot on various file systems (xfs, ext4, ntfs, hfs+, raid, etc)		GRUB 0.97
KDUMPRHEL7 supports kdump on large memory based systems up to 3 TBKdump doesn’t work properly with large RAM based systems.
System & Service Manager"Systemd"

systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, and replaces SysV and Upstart used in previous releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. systemd is compatible with SysV and Linux Standard Base init scripts.		Upstart
Enable/Start ServiceFor RHEL 7, the systemctl command replaces service and chkconfig.

- Start Service : "systemctl start nfs-server.service".

- Enable Service : To enable the service (example: nfs service ) to start automatically on boot : "systemctl enable nfs-server.service".

Although one can still use the service and chkconfig commands to start/stop and enable/disable services, respectively, they
are not 100% compatible with the RHEL 7 systemctl command (according to redhat).		Using "service" command and "chkconfig" commands.

- Start Service : "service start nfs" OR "/etc/init.d/nfs start"

- Enable Service : To start with specific runlevel : "chkconfig --level 3 5 nfs on"
Default Firewall"Firewalld (Dynamic Firewall)"

The built-in configuration is located under the /usr/lib/firewalld directory. The configuration that you can customize is under the /etc/firewalld directory. It is not possible to use Firewalld and Iptables at the same time. But it is still possible to disable Firewalld and use Iptables as before.		Iptables
Network Bonding"Team Driver"

-/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-team0
- DEVICE=”team0”
- DEVICETYPE=”Team”		"Bonding"

-/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0

Network Time SynchronizationUsing Chrony suite (faster time sync compared with ntpd)Using ntpd
NFSNFS4.1
NFSv2 is no longer supported. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 supports NFSv3, NFSv4.0, and NVSv4.1 clients.		NFS4
Cluster Resource ManagerPacemakerRgmanager
Load Balancer TechnologyKeepalived and HAProxyPiranha
Desktop/GUI InterfaceGNOME3 and KDE 4.10GNOME2
Default DatabaseMariaDB is the default implementation of MySQL in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7MySQL
Managing Temporary FilesRHEL 7 uses systemd-tmpfiles (more structured, and configurable, method to manage tmp files and directories).Using "tmpwatch"

teamcity Automatic Agent Start under Linux

By OK -
Automatic Agent Start under Linux To run agent automatically on the machine boot under Linux, configure daemon process with the  agent.sh start  command to start it and  agent.sh stop  command to stop it. Refer to an example procedure below: 1. Navigate to the services start/stop services scripts directory: cd /etc/init.d/ 2. Open the build agent service script: sudo vim buildAgent 3. Paste the following into the file : #!/bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: TeamCity Build Agent # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Start build agent daemon at boot time # Description: Enable service provided by daemon. ### END INIT INFO #Provide the correct user name: USER="agentuser" case "$1" in start) su - $USER -c "cd BuildAgent/bin ; ./agent.sh start" ;; stop) su - $USER -c "cd BuildAgent/bin ; ./agent....

NFS mount add in fstab _netdev instead of default | firewall-cmd --list-all

By OK -
Redhat recommends us to add  _netdev  option for NFS file system in /etc/fstab. So that they can be mounted after starting the networking service. Alternative ways to refer to partitions: Label : LABEL=label Network ID Samba : //server/share NFS : server:/share SSHFS : sshfs#user@server:/share Device : /dev/sdxy (not recommended) Example #1 //192.168.1.134/share_name /mnt/share_name cifs username=server_user,password=server_password,_netdev 0 0 ^ Path to your share ^ Mountpoint ^ Username ^ Password ^ See note A Note A: The  _netdev  options makes sure the mount is only attempted AFTER a network connection has been established. Example #2 10.10.10.1:/vol1/fs1 /data nfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 ============================ [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --list-all public   target: default   icmp-block-inversion: no   interfaces:   sources:   services: dhcpv6-client high-availabi...
