    Default JALUG Network Administrator's Course - DNS

    I am trying to set up the DNS but I am unsuccessful in copying the samples files to the HD. I used the commands in the Word document but it doesn't seem to work. The files are currently on my windows partition. What should I be doing?

    Hi there Miss Babe,

    A couple of questions...

    Are you running CentOS in a virtual server?

    Are you dual booting CentOS and Windows?

    Can you see the files when you are running CentOS?

    The commands in the Word document will work if you have the files on a cdrom. If you are running Virtual Box you can take a look at the Virtual Box documentation on shared folders.

    Windows is my OS with 2 partitions. I am running a minimal installation of CentOS on virtual box. How do I mount the HD with the files?

    Jamrock I am going to try the instructions from the link you provided.

    Ok getting the virtualbox shared folder to work you need to install virtualbox guest additions. Here's how to get it done:

    Before starting you centos vm, on the right hand side to the bottom click on Shared Folders.

    Browse to where the folder is that has the files you wanna make accessible and enter the share name.

    Next click on Storage and under storage controller select the virtual cd-rom drive and to the right from the cd.dvd device drop down box choose vboxguestadditions.iso

    Start the centos vm and once logged in run
    yum update
    yum install gcc
    yum install kernel-devel
    yum install make
    yum install bzip2
    Restart vm

    Now we need create the folders that both the cd-rom and the shared folder will be mounted.
    mkdir /mnt/cdrom
    mkdir /mnt/netshare
    Now mount the vboxguestadditions.iso to /mnt/cdrom
    mount -t auto /dev/cdrom-hda /mnt/cdrom
    Do
    ls /mnt/cdrom
    to verify that it has been mount.

    Change to the /mnt/cdrom
    cd /mnt/cdrom
    Now run the installer
    sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
    Once complete restart the vm and log back in.

    Now mount the share folder to /mnt/netshare
    mount -t vboxsf share_folder_name /mnt/netshare
    Run
    ls /mnt/netshare
    and u should now see the files u need

    If you are not able to set up the sharing between your operating system and the virtual machine, it would be best to burn the files to a cd.

    Lovepython can show you how to set up the shares after class on Sunday.

    We will be moving on to DHCP in the next class. It would be good to get DNS up and running before then.
