Hi all,
As you might already have seen from the messages in the last hour: The
modernized BlueOnyx 5210R (with the "Elmer" GUI) is now available via
YUM update.
An updated ISO and virtual machine images have also been published.
See:
https://www.blueonyx.it/news/336/15/BlueOnyx-5210R-New-GUI-Officialy-released/
Updated PKGs:
==============
If you're using BlueOnyx Shop PKGs with GUI pages? In that case you NEED
the updated versions of these PKGs in order to be able to manage the
software that these PKGs brought aboard. The GUI pages from older PKGs
are no longer compatible with BlueOnyx 5210R at all.
Updated 5210R PKGs that are fully "Elmer" compatible:
- 5210R-Compass-base-2.2.9-1.pkg (NewLinQ)
- 5210R-Compass-webapps-2.7.0-1.pkg (WebApp Installer)
- 5210R-APF-7.1.0-1.pkg
- 5210R-AV-SPAM-7.3.5-1.pkg
- 5210R-AWStats-7.9-2.pkg
- 5210R-EASY-BACKUP-1.1.3-1.pkg
- 5210R-fail2ban-1.11.2-2.pkg
- 5210R-firewall-8.1.4-1.pkg
- 5210R-OpenVPN-1.1.1-1.pkg
YUM Updates:
============
The BlueOnyx mirrors should be fully synchronized by now and the YUM
updates therefore should be fairly smooth. It *is* a big YUM update
(couple of hundred RPMs), so please be patient while it installs.
After the installation of the YUM updates:
===========================================
Update the Shop PKGs you have installed. See the list above and compare
it with what you have installed. You might also want to check the
expiration date of your support to make sure that "Third Party Software"
shows you the latest "Elmer"-compatible versions for 5210R.
Odds and sods:
===============
You might want to check "Network Services" / "Web" and make sure that
the radio switches for "Options" and "Allow Override" still match your
expected settings. It appears that on some updated BlueOnyx 5210R these
switch back to the defaults during the YUM update.
If the graphics for "CPU Usage", "Memory Usage" and "Network Usage"
don't load on the start page of admin after login? The "Network Usage"
graph has a few seconds delay as it needs to gab two datapoints and not
just one. So that usually loads last. But if nothing shows? Run the
"swatch" command as "root" from SSH and that will fix it. Or in "Active
Monitor" / "Status" press the "Check Status Now" button. That fixes it
as well.
NTPd deprecation: Like BlueOnyx 5211R the modernized BlueOnyx 5210R no
longer used the service "ntpd". Instead it has been switch to "chronyd",
which serves the same function.
Check it out and let us know what you think about the new BlueOnyx 5210R.
