RedHat Kickstart
Presented By: Steven Gomez
Red Hat's Kickstart installations offer a means to automate the installation process, either partially or fully. Kickstart files contain answers to all questions normally asked by the installation program, such as what time zone you want the system to use, how the drives should be partitioned, or which packages should be installed. Providing a prepared Kickstart file when the installation begins therefore allows you to perform the installation automatically, without need for any intervention from the user.
Kickstart features can be an Admin's best friend. This session will present examples of how to use the Kickstart system with RHEL/CentOS platforms to automate the creation of 'cookie cutter' systems in an easily repeatable manner. Working examples of various methods using of Kickstarts will be included.

Upgrading RAID6 with Zero Downtime From six 2T to eight 4T
Presented By: Lee Lammert
There is a lot of hype about 'zero downtime', and many vendors charge boucoup dinero for that sort of hardware RAID capability to have when upgrading a storage array.
With Linux SoftRAID, however, don't believe the hype - 'zero downtime' has nothing to do with hardware!
