Finally got an important setting to stick on this one.
-
Good to hear Tokyo calmed down a bit, at least on a single server.
-
Some observations about the network, and ARP packets. We kind of spoke about this on OGF but I'm tired of going back there for now, so I'm providing a continuation of it here. These seem to happen whenever more than one subnet is on the same VLAN, and the SolusVM setting for ebtables isn't enabled, around 1,000 PPS per VM…
-
Those have the whacky names because I'm an idiot and wanted to call them "NYCM" as in "M" for "Migrate" or something, because we set up the naming scheme before we verified some details about the servers, but muscle memory changed half of them to "B" since the cabinet is the "B" cabinet. The names will be changes later to…

FFME006 should be fine I think, if yours is down it may be unrelated. FFME005, I don't remember, but FFME004 definitely had an issue. Worked on them an hour or so ago and updated the BIOS settings to match Tokyo which has similar disks and no problems. Hopefully it'll stick. Only updated it for those dropping disks. Double…
-
In the meantime all Ryzen nodes are getting a final sync of netboot.xyz to make sure that at least works as an option.
-
OS templates may have ran into issue for LAX since they were interrupted by the network issue we faced, and then interrupted again with mass migrations. I'll put in another sync soon.
-
Ryzen migrate button will be converted to Ryzen to Ryzen location change button by around the end of this week.
-
Miami will be the next thing to be worked on, sometime this week. I do believe our schedule will open back up and we'll also be focusing on returning support response times to normal.
-
Bulk of migrations are complete to some level, with a lot of problems. FFM is still facing disk configuration issue, I couldn't get to it, but luckily only a small number of people are affected outside of FFME04 which rebooted into no disks, and potentially FFME05 which is displaying services as online but large disk…
-
All migrations ran into pretty much every problem they could with every step of the way. All nodes are going to unfortunately have negatively affected VMs but we're working hard to continue to make sure the majority are functional and we're definitely keeping track of all the problems on our end, it just ended up on a…
-
A lot of things just end up taking a long time not because they would take a long time to do but because it's difficult to work it into the schedule without the rest of the day falling apart. But yes, walking is faster than taking a car, I just don't have anything to carry them with right now. I've taken packages down to…
-
My current node expires on July 05. I'll try to work in time to set up a node here for you. It's all there, it just needs to be configured. Assuming the node doesn't just die on first boot. Yeah, it's been rough. We've had our fair share of stressful times but this one's absolutely the worst and it's the first time I've…
-
SolusVM isn't broken on it. I haven't had a chance to fix it since it's lower down the priority list since the node is actually online as you mentioned. Controls will be broken though so anyone's VM that's offline because of a reboot or other command will not be able to be booted up since controls are broken. Frankfurt is…
-
We're already in a halfway state there. There's probably three phases of old nodes: * Big VLAN, mixed /24 subnets. * Big VLAN, separated /24 subnets with mixed gateway. * Big VLAN, separated /24 subnets and separated gateways. We already set everything up to where they essentially end up acting like separated /24 subnets…
-
Frankfurt almost ready. This will be the first location that I'm trying to launch properly. There's two servers that have potential issues and will be skipped, two that got lost as previously mentioned so there's going to be five servers launched here. They'll come with IPv4 subnets split into small VLANs and hopefully…
-
Honestly I have a lot of notes all over the place and a lot of servers and parts going everywhere right now and don't remember that specifically but I don't remember that one as having NIC issue. I'd have to take a look at everything and schedule those windows. Since they all have multiple NICs it's not considered a huge…
-
Ran into further issues. Busy two days or so, another node went offline and it's been having RAID controller issues, the storage node took up a good amount of time as many other things, a lot going on in the background. Sorry for lack of updates, I should have an update on it soon.
-
Frankfurt is about to be ready. Everything basically ended up getting shifted a week forward because time flies when you're having fun and we here at VirMach are just having a blast. UPS is being absolutely abysmal there. Even worse than I thought ever possible. It took them over a month to basically deliver them instead…
-
A lot of these servers never were set up due to motherboard issues. We have to make another rounds of fixing them with specific BIOS/BMC updates that involve moving PCIe cards off and back on. More will be available when that's completed.
-
I bought the lube and it just spilled all over the office floor. It's such good lube that if you leave it tilted on the floor long enough it self lubes the cap and starts leaking lube.
-
Nope, no idea what to do with those. I'll probably have to go to Tokyo and grab them myself. DC hands rate is insane there.
-
I just remembered our 4TB drives are all mixed with non-XPG and in heatsinks unlabeled. I'll do a few of those but most will be 2TB Gen4 since they're all labeled and I don't feel like sorting through everything right now. These should theoretically work out better for everyone as game storage or for Windows anyway and if…
-
As much as I personally hate USPS, at least in our area, I'm using USPS first class for all of them due to cost. Around $130 to ship them all versus like $1000 since they're mostly international. They wouldn't allow 4x4x1 box, at least on the partner app we're using. I had this little phase in my life when I wanted to make…
-
Okay labels printed. Boxes arriving tomorrow, the boxes/packets I had for them are too small to ship, I guess there's minimum requirements. Then they'll ship out either tomorrow night or Wednesday afternoon. Also slightly unrelated, but it's for the servers, I'm running low on the foam pads I hoarded from the chassis we…
-
Most likely required, its letting me click buy for now but I'm not sure if it'll go through. Too late to provide now though, I'm printing them all.
-
You guys can probably actually still contact them if you want to go through that process and it fails, it's still within warranty period. That's a little too detrimental for my sanity right now. Okay so a good amount of people need to reply back some information. I'll hold off for a little bit until I give them a chance to…
-
Okay, going to fix template selections now, it'll be on WHMCS where it will have the newer ones as well and then I'll see if we can find some other more permanent solution where it shows the right templates based on the node you're on. I'm finalizing list for the free NVMe SSDs today and preparing labels, etc. Not taking…
-
List your package names and I can update them. I updated all the main ones I could think of but probably missed a few since I'm blind.
-
Built in SolusVM feature.
-
Don't store valuable information such as that on them, they may fail at any moment.
-
Okay tiny extra disclaimer, a lot of these are still floating around the datacenters* and I've got a good amount of private messages so anyone who messages me after this post, lower your expectations as there's a possibility I'd have to go digging around for them if we get too many other requests and that's not something…
-
Private message me with your name, address, e-mail address, and phone number, if any of you guys want a free XPG drive. Works great as a paperweight, they come with a heatsink unless I end up really needing the heatsinks. Let's put a deadline of June 5th so I don't get spammed too hard. Not guaranteed, no updates, no…

Similar CPU would be any 1 vCore plan on Ryzen. RAM-wise you'd have to go 1GB. We only have 384MB, 512MB and 1GB right now. Actually, maybe that's pretty weird and I should just turn the 512 into 768. I'll think about it. I guess the next logical step up would actually be 640MB but I don't really like that number. Or…
-
That may come sooner or later than you think.™
-
Oh, we will. Plus a ton of "migration button gone?" and people flaming us. I've learned there's no winning with any of this. If I wanted to do it the easy way everyone would still be on CC E5's permanently and Ryzen would just be at full price on our website. But I hate myself. I think I've used that joke a few too many…
-
Yeah sorry, sucks we had to eventually give in to the dark side and ruin it for everyone. We tried very hard to avoid that.
-
I'll chime in with an answer here and it doesn't really have to do with licensing or overselling. It just requires a lot of management and support to do it "properly" where core customers will like it, stay, and spread the word and it's not something all providers can focus on while also running their core business. When…

virmach: vgood: virmach: vgood: virmach: And on that note... I'm going to take a mental health break.

Okay, thanks for your feedback. I asked you because I figured it would be a good representation of how others may feel. We'll stick do doing the tickets how we've been doing them then unless our developer can create the auto credit system because I don't think anyone will be upset about getting SLA credit for tickets being…
