Good things comes to those who
waitbitch moan and whine!Raid works now, but Rescue modus is broken, prem.
Still not got mine either. I wonder if it'll actually come this month...
@vish They're going to EARN their #10/mo from my two support tickets!
Sounds like you got mine.
If not, maybe you will!
Ubuntu 16.04 with NORAID was stuck for 12+ hours, opened a ticket and the process was cancelled with the message "we have some issues with Ubuntu in no raid". I set it back to RAID1 and started reinstalling 16.04, been at it for about 4 hours now...
...and the moment I got iDRAC to eat my netboot iso so I could iPXE myself through this 10 year old hardware, it goes completely offline. Wunderbar.
Sounds like, just keep it Raid 1, dont touch it.
Otherwise you be fucked.
Wubalubadubdub!!
This shit is as stable as a millenial during the Trump administration.
Ubuntu 16.04 RAID0 is working ...
Sounds perfect for a new LET start up provider.
Prices are too high for that. $3/yr colo.
I've wasted more time in two days than it was worth trying to help someone save a buck. Live with CPanel, guys, 'cuz I'm done.
I wonder if the switch blocked your port too.
Meh, dont even try to change to Rescue mode, if you try to reinstall your server afterwards.
It bricks also....
Someone needs to a compile of a list of don'ts for this server offering...
..makes you wonder why someone would spend so much time and resources adding a wrapper around online.net.
So, after reading all your comments here, I feel that those Kimsufis are not bad after all! ;-)
I regret I have but one KS-1 left. They're hella useful by comparison!
IDRAC always caused issues, I had a very bad experience with redstation and their dell shitty hardware, and this one is only one more example of how bad dell hardware is , those who we ordered the promotion in first place, got the same I3 configuration with ILO/HP instead, which hasn't been causing too many issues compared to IDRAC
On the contraty, I hate iLO... IDRAC, with some tweaks, works fine por me
IPMI-enabled!
Well, when I say enabled, a nice picture/link appeared on the server management page for IPMI, but it's not selectable....
You should be familiar with the phrase, "Look but no touching"
TBF, I'm more familiar with the phrase 'Sir, put your trousers back on and step away from the frightened animal'.
I stick to my Worldstream dedis Sure I gotta pay semi-annually to get the cheap prices but the hardware works and the reinstalls + GRML for my custom OS installs work too and I love it.
You get a $4.20 discount if you pay annually for the non-clearance models. For the cheaper ones that makes a significant difference.
Yup! I plan on doing the annual payment for my next server there. Right now I just have the "special deal" servers which only do the 6 month payments but those Custom servers are cheap and the annual payment brings off a lot too.
The remote reinstall/reboot option is now free too so that helps.
Yeah the iDRAC on this is not friendly at all. It kills itself every like 20 mins or so when using it for me. Loading an ISO over virtual media is obviously impossible. Also that is besides the fact it is ass slow even when it works. I basically just decided to put the bitch into rescue mode and qemu install my OS, that wasn't super fun either since it ran out of ram one time in the middle and killed itself. In the end I got what I wanted though, which was an install with NORAID and not using their shitty OS templates. Honestly I can only suggest everyone else who doesn't want their OS template to just skip trying anything with the iDRAC and just qemu it.
Sadly, I almost QEMU'd it, but said "I'm not going to halfass this (for someone else's setup)."
I have always considered them, but do they have a rescue mode that is automatic?
