Anyone else not provisioned yet? Feeling quite lonely here.
Say, is it better to have no server or have one stuck in reinstall on RAID change?
I wonder if these issues you guys are reporting are unique to the 10 euro box or will it apply to everything OneProvider provides
@caracal They've likely got that name because only one machine works at a time. It's an elaborate timeslice setup.
They have a custom control panel that allows you to do reinstalls and one of the reinstall options is a GRML Rescue Boot that will boot you into GRML which is great because I use that to start up a KVM and do a custom OS install over VNC.
Still waiting here too.
Why is everyone reinstalling OSes? Are they not setting them up with RAID initially or something? Or is everyone just wanting a different OS than they had a template option for?
Mine came with Debian 8 in RAID 1. That's what I was going for, so I just kept it as-is. Based on the issues people are having, I doubt I'd attempt a reinstall - at least not until everyone is sorted and their support isn't bombarded.
No idea if it is just the 10 euro box but I can even launch the vm console in the IDrac. I refuse to the virus known as Windows and this is pissing me off now.
Mine is still offline.
Finally got the drac running right now I can not attach an iso FFS this is getting ridiculous. Yes I know how to do it just will not let me do it.
So despite having little done to it other than being secured and having Webmin/Transmission installed my server started throwing up all sorts of segmentation and bus errors overnight... I'm not sure how trusting I feel about these servers. Might not let my trusty SC go just yet.
OK, it's time to sever. I'll start with their tendons.
Guess I'll get a server soon
Sure, but you can't get it to boot.
Yeah, my IDRAC was configured like that as well. I decided to break the rules slightly and activate the ISO attaching. You can find it in IDRAC settings while booting. Virtual CD or something like that.
But as was pointed out, the session tends to kill itself every ~20 minutes. Good luck having the ISO loaded + OS installed in that time.
I have to assume their proxying of Online services is somewhat limited.
Do you have read access to online.net's ISO NAS? you could try that on the off-chance it works.
I'd agree with that statement. My dedi has been blocked for over 30 hours now and on-site team was going to resolve my issue shortly (7 hours ago).
Alright, just checked. I can't find an option to mount an ISO from the NAS, nor from an url.
I checked Online.net's guide just to be sure, and they don't mention mounting a "remote" iso other than one on your PC. For other IDRAC, ILO and XC models they have a guide on using the NAS.
Got mine just 9 hours ago and directly switched to raid0 (took 3 minutes), then reinstalled the whole thing with Debian 8 (took 30 minutes). The harddrives are almost 6 years old, but they only have 13 power cycles and look fine. Looks like an ok'ish server more or less, lets see how it works out in terms of bandwidth usage.
Yikes, you are brave. I'd set it up as no raid, 2 separate drives/filesystems, so transfer speed is a little slower but who cares since it will be much faster than the network. That way you can mirror important stuff on both drives (or have a raid-1 region) and if one fails the other still works.
OVH Cloud Archive is looking good for cheap long-term backup space. I haven't tried it yet though.
Trying to get proxmox up and running on mine. No luck thus far, kind of nutty really. Thank You @S3phy for the tip. Got it to boot the iso but will see what else I can do here.
Ubuntu 16.04 stuck on reinstall with RAID1 for 12+ hours too, opened another ticket. Starting to lose hope I can get anything installed before the holidays.
The support had to rebuilt my raid controller 5 times before it worked.
Now i can reinstall Debian 8 with RAID1 without any problems.
Which user did you use while installation? They said that i used a system reserved user, thats the reason why it stucked.
Gosh darn it. Server again unresponsive. No SSH, everything bar Apache not responding. It was only up for blasted 5 hours. Time to try a reinstall I guess.
I dont know if they troll, they tell me they requested a Hardware reset because it stucks.
And then I get told, its installed, I tried to ping it but its dead.
So under "Health Check" panel, I get an IP for my pending server. It still reverses to some other company so I guess I'll just watch that space.
Not poneytelecom.eu by any chance? If so then that's just Online.net's internal rDNS name.
Yeah it isn't.. It's a .br company.
That reminds me - mine had every some unused mail domain that was never launched. However, it was obviously used for something cuz I got quite a traffic for the few minutes it worked.
