@HalfEatenPie @jarland: How long did it take to get your servers provisioned?
Two days.
I'd say about a day and a half if memory serves.
4 days now!! they're still working on it..
Might get one but do you think it would be a waste only having it for a month?
Seems like they're machines that are anything but new, so I'm guessing paying them $35 for only one month isn't going to upset them. You just might find it fits a use for you.
I wouldn't be able to renew, that's the thing. I would love to test one out though. Anyone know their cancellation policy?
Meh, wouldn't bother then. If you wanna feel like you're on a powerful dedicated machine for cheap, I highly recommend 64u.com. Oktay is a cool guy.
Not much to be seen from these in a month that you won't from a mid range vps.
Ok. I'll see what happens....
they cant install promox, god damn it.
What should I do now?:D
From support:
and 2008, Debian, XenServer, and ProxMox all install correctly. And Debian 6
will install but needs a firmware upgrade. I'm not sure about Ubuntu but I'd
imagine it would work.
@ztec request iLO access (I guess it's like VNC to the server, but from the very beginning of the boot-up), then install it yourself? See above what @jarland wrote about it.
"I'm sorry but Proxmox is not compatible with the hardware of this server. Please choose a different Operating System."
This is what they tell me.
I imagine I'd have problems installing it myself if hardware doesn't allow it.
IPMI/iLO is more like KVM but integrated into the hardware and so much better!
That's exactly what they told me.. ended up installing vmware
Hey everybody,
Just a quick question. Why do you need fast HDD? for what kind of use?
@earl ESXi? I kept trying and failing.
@dantes I'm inching into the vps market, the CPU and memory with the SSD would have been a cool promotional one time offering with just a few people on it.
Not sure what they call the free one now but I think it's "VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5"
It's from this link:
http://www.vmware.com/go/get-free-esxi
Installed fine on mine..
You can always fall back to server 2.0.2 but it sucks without support (EOL).
Also, vbox :P For just a few friends and all, xen on debian, etc...
M
Hrm maybe can also try Virtualizor at $1 per month per VM? First month free
Forgot.. I was going to mention for anyone using vmware here is a Thinapped vSphere Client so you don't have to install anything on your computer..
Thinapped vSphere Client
i know they installed Proxmox on their same HP Blade with SATA drive (their previous offer) on s'ones server i know.
only difference now is SAS drive instead of SATA
does that mean Proxmox doesn't support SAS? or too many requests to them to handle??
as per wiki you can install proxmox over Debian Lenny (squeeze too)
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Lenny
@Pats Pretty sure Proxmox does support SAS drives. Not sure why it wouldn't work with the hardware.
It seems that most installation issues arise from the operating systems not having the necessary drivers bundled by default. Apparently they have some "different" hardware that I just really don't care enough to read about
lol
Another issue is that iLO mounts volumes or images that are local to you and treats them as if they are local to the machine. This can cause problems beyond just a little slow down if your bandwidth isn't high enough, depending on how the installation handles itself. I actually bought a Windows VPS on a 1Gbit just to work with mine (Java was acting up on my Ubuntu desktop VPS), and I still ended up doing netboot Ubuntu ISO because it was the simplest.
you're few inches far... time to remove the Affiliate link in sig.?
But but...just a few more people and my RamNode can be free
DO IT!
Are affiliate links even allowed here? I didn't think they are.
Not really rules here for non offer related posts that I'm aware of, but I'd probably be called on it if I were in any way deceptive about it.
@rm_ I don't think we have forum rules do we? Just the offer posting rules. I think the rest is community moderated, I don't see a problem with having affiliate links in sigs.
If people were to make posts on the other hand, with affiliate links to services. That would probably be deleted.
Ha ! I just love my sig ! No problems at all with it
