Nothing new in this. A consequence of too many changes in hardware/firmware/software within a short timeframe. The primary reason for large corporations sticking with often deemed "obsolete/deprecated" (semi-)proven technology.
(Who said, IBM system 36/38, out there? I can't recall the model of NCR we had, with "Genisis" patched on top of it, for legacy Cobol.)
Funny that. You though Dremel. I though band saw.
I was talking about writing in RPG III for system 38/ AS400 the other day.
I remember the days when everything I wrote was designed to run for 30 years.
Marriott hotel's system ran on an AS400 as late as the early 2000's.
Things change so fast now that I sometimes wonder how they ever get it to be stable.
Looks like either we give 1GB bandwidth or 15,000TB. Nothing in between! We'll have it corrected but we're not too worried about it going this way, it's not like anyone is going to use 15,000TB. Don't prove me wrong.
That'd be interesting.
Precisely.
(I had the dubious distinction of being 1st to setup AS/400 PC Support software suite, used in a commercial environment, in Scotland, perhaps UK. Token Ring, network shares and all that palaver. It was the desk jockeys that pushed out the COBOL/RPG III. At that time UNIX was just a glimmer in my eye - ooh, that looks interesting. Re: Marriott=y2k issues? IIRC, AIX was coded to go boom in 2018, back in '99.)
Heh.
@LiliLabs just tagging you because we discovered something today relating to the X470 motherboards, so I thought you'd want to hear it. I said earlier this week that it was strange how all of them would test well, and then at the datacenter have problems to where DC hands couldn't even get IPMI set up, frozen at the screen.
It turns out those are all X470 because of some bug in the BIOS. ASRock said not to update to the latest BIOS for 3000 series so I tried to listen... well, the old version apparently has this weird issue where on reboot when trying to get into BIOS it just freezes. If IPMI is set up, you can go in and use it just fine, but the problem is if they need to get into the BIOS to set it up, they essentially report it as being "dead" because it acts a lot like it. We did however figure out it's related to something very specific with the PCIe slots on the older BIOS version and the reason I didn't find this on testing is because I'd set it up, get IPMI working, and basically have to functioning well for the test, but once it reboots/IPMI gets reset, it still powers on/off, and we assume test was successful and send it out. Then DC gets it and can't boot into BIOS.
At least one caught like this today and another caught maybe a few days ago. I'm hoping all the rest are the same and everything else I send out I'm going to update BIOS on.
Only problem is it seems like if both BMC and BIOS are updated on 3000 series then it runs into problems. Just BIOS updated, seems to work fine.
ok disturbed
@VirMach - Yes exactly. I could never have said it so well.
@AlwaysSkint RE: IIRC Marriott data was always coded with dates that included four digit years so Y2K was not really too big of a issue. Last time I was involved was 2002 and it was still going.
I have this fussy recollection of using token ring with Novell NetWare back around 1987 while setting up a banking system on IBM XT PCs. I expect I have been trying to block it out ever since.
JP still not ready?
My order #656149 still in Pending
How long should I wait, is there a time schedule?
UPS delayed package we sent last week on Monday, due to Japan holiday. It's arriving this Friday (today) and then if datacenter can set it up over the weekend it'll be done then, or most likely Monday.
Everything okey there with Ryzen Alpha aka Beta Node in PHX?
You probably also want to take a look at DENZ001 too.
153 days uptime, RIP.
Can the TYOC030 network be repaired?
The network seems to be broken drop
Just received an email about migration. It looks like my 64mb idler will get the first real migration among all.
Is that graph supposed to look like that? Had to rub my eyes and wonder if I should get some rest.
Yeah doesn't look good, not sure what happened, maybe the settings I applied dropped off. Checking.
The network seems to be broken drop
Oh, the settings were not made persistent on a reboot and either it was rebooted or crashed briefly. Loading the settings back in.
I'll also make these persistent soon.
That is standard smokeping graph. From VPS IP to VNC Host IP (aka
).
localhostoutside VPS, no idea how to name that correctlyBlack color shows 'variation' in probes timing - it was working nicely for weeks, then last two days seems to be fluctuating a lot (from 0.3 ms stable and 0 ping loss to like 10% ping loss and 0.3 - 5 ms ping return time).

Really weird, I applied back the exact settings as before they got reset and it didn't look too great. Then I went back to completely different settings we used to use before I fine-tuned it to the final settings and it looks much better now.
Looks like a little bit of RNG at this point but whatever.
Old settings are still not perfect though but new ones aren't working, I'll leave it like this for now until I look into it further.
@FrankZ back when I was a kid I networked a hotel's management/sales office so they could have file shares and email. Used 10base2 since the cards were cheap and no switch required. Unfortunately there was an oddball PC that didn't have the right drivers and could have ruined the whole upgrade, so they got a free upgrade from win3.11 to win95 at 2am.
Hacked my high schools Lantastic token ring network, and we used a "hypercard" type application to make a virtual version of our school with jokes about all the teachers. Our own private metaverse in the 90's
@VirMach Hi, I chose to migrate to Los Angles in the Ryzen button yesterday, and I read in your email just now that I will be migrated to the preference destination on Sunday. So does it mean LA nodes with Quadranet are online and ready to use?
Glad to know that, I'm looking at purchasing the X470 version too, costs around 300€ here in Portugal.
Why do AsRock say to avoid updating to the latest BIOS version?
Focusing on PHXZ002 right now, doesn't look too great. IPMI is bugged out, waiting on DC hands.
It just came back online on our monitor, but as IPv6. Also it looks like it never actually went "down" based on uptime, but I can't get into the server. Also it looks like all the VM processes are still running. But it's not responding on SolusVM. And neither are VM IPv4's. But monitoring timestamps are all correct and traffic is continuing to flow to VMs as normal. Except now monitoring is showing it offline on one page and online on another... and oh look we got one ping back, 2700ms 75% loss.
In any case, has to be rebooted because of IPMI, wonder if it's somehow related and IPMI just gives a random unrelated error if it's having connectivity issues.
And looks like PHXZ001 has the same problem too now but much less severe, oh and PHXZ002 is back up on SolusVM but still not responding.
Yeah okay I think I just got thrown off by the IPMI being weird, otherwise it's just Phoenix connectivity issue.
Unfortunately in AMSD026 node not possible this. After mount ISO the VPS didn't start.
I could install Rocky Linux only tricky: first installed CentOS 7 with Reinstall-OS template and updated the CentOS 7.9 to Rocky 8.5 with http://itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/how-to-upgrade-centos-7-to-rocky-linux-8.html.
And if you want resize/shrink the templated partition/filesystem: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/226872/how-to-shrink-root-filesystem-without-booting-a-livecd/227318#227318.
How long will the 3$ paid migration(without data)take effect?
Is yours stuck?
I'll resync ISO on these.
It seems so, about 20 days ago I tried to migrate to Tokyo but just one more useless ip and the ryzen migrate button disappeared, so today I tried again to migrate to Seattle for 3$ and again nothing happen! Here is the ticket
