Create Partition and change File System ID :   # fdisk -l # fdisk /dev/sda       2. Check and Create physical Volume : # pvdisplay # pvcreate /dev/sda9 /dev/sda10 # pvcreate /dev/sda11 # pvdisplay | less 3. Check and Create Volume Group : # vgdisplay # vgcreate hydvolgrp /dev/sda9 /dev/sda10 #vgdisplay -v | less 4. Check and Create logical Volme : # lvdisplay # lvcreate -L 2G hydvolgrp -n rohitlv # lvcreate -L 500M hydvolgrp -n patellv # lvdisplay | less 5. Format...

SSL sites on shared IP via SNI

SSL Sites On Shared IP via SNI Days are gone when we needed a dedicated IP for each website with SSL! With  Server Name Indication(SNI)  extension of the Transport Layer Security protocol, it is now possible to use authentic SSL certificates for sites hosted on shared IP addresses. If you are on a Linux hosted environment, you could very well reap the benefit of the feature right away. Key benefits 1. Reduces the cost of adding dedicated IP addresses 2.
