@WSS - I'm not giving up on the server. Let's see how long it takes for them to have me up and running. In the mean time, let's keep this post #1 on Google search results when someone looks up One Provider.
Got my second server. Windows install done, using the same method as before, in about 30-40 minutes. Seems like I have good luck.
Why? I had two, and neither one was online more than an hour. Shit, I got at least a week out of @HungryVM.
E: They had offered me to replace the first, and then to try to fix the IPMI on the second one. I asked if they were going to update the firmware for it like Dell suggested before further testing, and it went silent.
We don't use that term anymore now it is a Gential Jamboree.
Just been told that now my server is stuck changing the RAID configuration. Why it's doing that now I have no idea. Also been told I can't have Debian 8.
I've been regretting not jumping on this deal. It seems like I shouldn't regret it so much?
@Nekki Do not feel bad man I have broken my IPMI so many times they probably think it would be cheaper to refund me or give me a new machine fresh out the box.
Maybeee. Not having problems for Now. (The only problems i had was with a PVS PRovider there which sells "gold shit" https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/110601/is-this-vps-oversold#latest that ofc i've leaved 12 April 01.23am because i dont like to be teased, it means i just donated "60 €" for a service of shit lool).
Anyay CentOS 7 working, CentOS 7 reinstall working, server no stuck in reinstall, no "Smart Alerts" for now, 8GB Ram (more than the offer, I think this is my Easter gift), Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz (more than the offer, I think this is my Easter gift), just tested with OpenLitespeed.
No Bad Words from me, for now. Oneprovider has been slow in delivery (reading that better it was a chance according their location notes) and he has not yet made bad surprises. I think to use this server as long as the raid don't start to wobble
Been able to push a decent amount of traffic off the little box. Definitely not complaining for $11.
eth0 / daily day rx | tx | total | avg. rate ------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- 04/12/2017 2.30 GiB | 16.83 GiB | 19.13 GiB | 1.86 Mbit/s 04/13/2017 78.44 GiB | 1.63 TiB | 1.71 TiB | 170.02 Mbit/s 04/14/2017 19.92 GiB | 862.69 GiB | 882.61 GiB | 229.86 Mbit/s ------------------------+-------------+-------------+---------------I noticed 15-22ms lag to the online.net default gateway when I checked 12hrs ago.
Router de-prioritizing icmp due to port traffic ? I used mtr though.
Support did a hard reboot, said installation should be completed "shortly". Opened another ticket after 6+ hours, they said they would investigate. Now stuck on "changing RAID" for 16+ hours.
Does anyone know if they're working on Good Friday?
No idea, but hope since I have a ticket in because I broke my IPMI again lol.
It amazes me how many dollars are wasted by picking up pennies.
Wait, what the fuck am I saying?
Alright, we're up and running.
i3-540
8GB RAM
Hardware RAID
1 disk with 38,330 power-on hours
1 disk with 46,771 power-on hours
IMPI is still fucked
I was planning on replacing some online specials with this, but the disk age is fucking my life off.
Aaaand I just got refunded. I put in a ticket as I ordered on the 5th and still hadn't been delivered, and the response I got back said:
I guess it's time for me to get my pitchfork out?
Of course you would prefer to add the middleman.
If online would sell me a 2TB server at €10/month, I'd drop all of the other servers in a heartbeat.
Even if they were as stable as a Prout service during a cocaine snowstorm? Shit, Kimsufi's feeling better every day.
I'm assuming direct from Online wouldn't be as janky as this shit. I've had plenty of stuff direct and it's been solid, they hosted my main plex server for about 3 years.
Like Kimsufi, but that 100Mb network gets me down at times.
Yeah. That it can.
Hetzner is a bit latent at times, and I just can't justify that expense, myself- so.. yeah.
FWIW, the Hitachi on my kidechire has 35883 hrs , running at 34C temp.
(no errors/reallocated sectors yet)
Never gone Hetzner - not sure why, just hasn't happened.
Got a nice offer from @randvegeta for a big storage server, testing the network as I type; it's supposedly only a 100Mb port but somehow I'm getting speeds upto 200Mb at times. Might have a winner. Can replace 3-5 servers with that amount of storage.
Honestly this is a decent deal once you get everything working, not because of the specs really, but because it is gigabit unlike a kimsufi.
Anyway, for people having difficulty with the iDRAC or their shitty panel installer I have some suggestions for you:
apt-get update && apt-get install qemu-system-x86qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::3389-:3389 -m 2048M -localtime -enable-kvm -cpu host,+nx -M pc -smp 2 -vga std -usbdevice tablet -k en-us -cdrom /path/to/your.iso -hda /dev/sda -hdb /dev/sdb -boot once=d -vnc :1Notes:
You may have to pre-partition your drives(so you can store the ISO on one) as the rescue OS is in memory so your ISO will take up memory which can cause it to OOM while installing.
You may also have to adjust the
-m 2048Mpart to be-m 3000Mif your ISO installer uses a lot of memory.You will need to change the
-hda /dev/sda -hdb /dev/sdbpart accordingly if you are not using NORAID mode. Use parted -l to figure it out probably.I don't usually make guides so this probably sucks, if you have better suggestions feel free to mention them.
Looks like I'll be stuck on RAID change for the Easter...
Let's see if anyone ever gets over the same aggregate.
Also, you can use -curses rather than using VNC if your OS installation media isn't a fucking tool and assumes VESA 2 on everything.
Yeah curses is an option, but the VNC is just easier really since it should always work. I was going for ease of use.
Yeah. If I used qemu rather than trying to do it the right way, this prospective projects' drives might have just failed by now.
Done just shy of 4TB in ~43 hours. Averaging 256Mbps today so far. Can somewhat sustainably push 600Mbps based on a few non-scientific tests.
Will see what the future holds though. I got mine delivered late, so there's a chance I'm on a switch that has all of the folks with busted drives/IPMI/can't reinstall so it's wide open for me right now.
There is also the option of messing with the iDRAC settings to allow virtual media, and then you can mount an iPXE ISO(since it is small) and then from there initrd an ISO and chain to sal's network booter. But this method is a little harder and doesn't always work right.
That is almost precisely what I did with host #2. Mine eventually booted cd60.iso and then the whole thing went offline for 4+ hours after getting whatever error messages (I don't recall, it was kernel level blue text), then I said "Fuck this, I'm outta."
