Me neither it's so overrated.
I don't need it in this particular server. I host some websites in there (all of them with more than one live and zipped backups) and some "cold" storage. I also have some specific desktops for occasional usage when needed. This server is really a bargain due to high memory, lot of cores/threads and plenty of bandwidth (did I mention that I use a vps from this box for occasional live video streaming produced by us? Plenty of BDW)
Good to see that homegroan porn is still alive and well on the direct-to-
VHSDVD markethaha, I am trying to, but the girls won't participated without money... And I am not willing on paying for making them
rich andfamous. Oh, well...(But it's just some local soccer games we produce with multicamera setup for some particular clients of ours)
That's not a bad price at all for that kit, but for the same price, I think I'll sit on my 3 Kimsufi KS-3C (4C)s with i5/16/2.
I'm going to let this WSI box go, because I was going to use it specifically as a failover DNS and MX with some personal toys, but well, I can't trust it.
You think we all do depend on server uptime . Tell me who gives you 100tb@10gigs (I don’t care if singlehomed or not ).Why can’t you accept that I’m ok with them ?
I do find “funny “ their 5bucks disconnection fees though
Aren't those with 8GB mem? Or was yours any special promo? I have one and it has 2cores, 4 threads, 8GB memory and a single ipv4 (although there is a /64 ipv6). And the network port is capped at 100Mbits.
The /29 and the 1Gbit port of the WSI server are really making the difference there for me, and I have maxed out the port in tests to and from Greece, with upload speeds of over 450Mbps!
(On the other hand, ipmi on OVH is a real deal compared with the crappy "rescue system" in WSI)...
Nope, I don't really care at all, for the money its nothing more than an accepted risk that is it is in the main, a steaming pile of horseshit. However I am not bothered as it's backups, so if it's down for a while it makes no difference.
This was during @Vova1234's mass-exodus. I ended up with 4Cs at 3C promo prices. They're all i5-3570S @ 3.10GHz at 4c/4t, one IPv4, IPv6 is technically a /64, but they're starting to muddy the waters, too. 16GB/2TB
100Mbit is good enough for me. In fact, that's the same NOCIX is offering on the <$20 units, anyhow.
The least NOCIX could do is update their fucking sysrescue image dating back to Q1/2014. It kind of works, provided you don't need tools to fix shit.
@Dacentec has amazing deals every so often. They had a $23/mo (year prepay) not long ago, and before that, a grouchy Opteron with 2x2TB+5x1TB for $25/mo. That, along with my Kimsufi may be on my hoard-forever list even though, you know, I could live with half of that.
Hmmmm... Downtime still continues... It's almost 24hrs now.
Around 8 hours ago, I had received a reply to the support ticket saying :
But nothing happened.
Btw can you set up RAID 1 in nocix / WSI?
Last time I requested from WSI, they said that they can't set RAID 1 for me
They won't do that for you, you need to do it yourself.
24 hour over My server still offline.....
Okay, I normally wouldn't participate in this but some of this to some extent is incorrect:
(additional source) as they have to maintain and follow certain criteria to be certified as such. While they (NOCIX) don't provide a specific Tier level on their website they do state, "Our UPS systems are all N+1 redundant", so depending on how things are actually laid out it sounds like they are a Tier 3 data center and under normal operation should not have encountered as long of an outage as was seen. However, to be completely fair here, as they make no specific claims to their Tier certification it would be up to the customer to inquire directly and in the cases where needed sign the applicable NDA agreement needed to get a copy of their certification reports.
I hope you find this reply both informal and educational and for those who handle data centers on a daily basis and are closer to these issues on a daily basis, I would invite you to please correct anything I may have wrong here as I patched this together rather quickly and am also only human (mistakes happen).
my 2 cents.
Cheers!
No, I find it insulting as you imply we're all idiots assuming e.g. piles of funny home UPSs being stacked up in DCs.
If you really knew the field, you'd know that one of the real problems isn't the UPSs but the power gens; in most countries you are allowed diesel storage only in some zones and only under very strict (and usually frequently monitored) conditions (and, of course, most DCs aren't exactly happy sitting next to tens of thousands of liters or gallons of fuel which brings along yet more difficulties and costs).
That's one of the reasons why I intentionally differentiated between pro and "reasonable lower end" specs.
As for your remarks re. redundancy: of course even n+2 redundancy doesn't guarantee 100% availability, no matter what - but it covers the distance between "oh, 95 or so percent" and 3 or 4 (or even 5) nines, which is a hole world of difference.
Looking at nocix' funny playground one might as well host ones servers in a rack in ones basement.
From what I see there are three types of providers. the high end, guys who have a reasonable basis for at least 3 nines or close to that (say, 99.7) ... and amateur losers.
@bsdguy Personally, I prefer that all of my providers host like oldschool telco equipment: In a closet managed by an ancient version of OS/2 next to the mops.
I’m running raid10 on one of mine. Have to do it yourself. They won’t help with much durig installation. Adding a USB stick is about as much.
Guys, just came to know that primary SSD of my server had failed and they have replaced. OS has to be reloaded.
So this means all data is gone?
All data on that SSD. If that was the only drive in that server.... yes, your data is gone.
Re-read what you just typed.
Drive was 2x240GB SSD... They said Primary SSD has failed and once I finish OS reload, they can attach old drive to attempt for recovery. However they said that drive is detected but is shown as 0GB.
I don't know how to proceed with this
If you had 2x240GB and a software RAID 1, you can just recreate your RAID with MD (after fixing your partitioning to match the second drive). If it wasn't setup as RAID1, it's gone.
they tell me for reload OS but my data ?
Did you mirror the drives or use them as single drives?
If you mirrored, ask for a KVM and sync the disks.
From your description I take it you ran it as 2 single disks.
It was using default setup and I think NOCIX uses RAID0 as default. Even though they say that they will attach that corrupted drive for recovery attempt, I doubt any positive thing will happen.
It is kinda your ”job” to know what you are running on your server
If it indeed was Raid0 you lost everything.
Hope you had backups? Otherwise it is an ideal time to set everything up properly.
Yes it was my job and I failed to do that. I asked them what was their default setup, they said there was no RAID actually. This was their reply :
You only mentioned the high end guys and the amateur losers, so which one is the third type of providers.
People hosting their services over their home network?
