Continuing from the previous NTP post, our GNS3 topology hasn't changed except for UbtSvr:
I created a working syslog-ng server on UbtSvr2 long before I did the NTP post so, to make sure I don't miss a step or forget to mention something I did to get it working, I've gone ahead and created a brand new Ubuntu server in VirtualBox named UbtSvr3. The default route 192.0.0.0/8 and ip address on UbtSvr3 is the same as UbtSvr2 in the previous NTP post. Nothing else has changed.
Setting up an Ubuntu NTP Server in preparation for creating a syslog-ng server.
I’m working on creating a syslog-ng server on UbtSvr2 to capture events from routers in my GNS3 environment. The first step is having correct time on all devices; this isn’t important for syslog to function but its nice to associate syslog events with the current date and time – which my devices don’t have:
VirtualBox ver: 4.2.10
Virtual Machine (VM): Windows 7 pro, guest additions installed
Requirements: Ability to run a command prompt and VirtualBox as administrator (the usual problem with accessing VBoxManage).
Scenario:
I have a Win7Pro Virtual Machine (VM) with a 20 GB dynamically allocated storage disk (VDI) which only has about 2 GB of space left. I need to install a program on the VM which requires 2.5 GB of disk space. In short, I cannot install this program unless I increase the disk size.
So, in this post I’m going to increase the same disk (disk 0 or drive C) from 20 GB to 30 GB. This will give me the space I need with room to grow.
