Thanks. I got a Chimera. May take me a bit to get with checking it out, but as a previous Servarica customer it's good to be back. Storage plus backup MX(receive) and DNS use case.
How long does it take for the sever to deploy? Invoice 170242.
I purchased KVM Slim Slice 4. Can I upgrade to Fat slice 4 later?
eventually will come to kvm as well
but there is a lot of code that need to be updated
We are working on it
yes but it is manual migration
so you will get new vps and you move your data to it
maybe those 2 days the team is flooded but in few days the team can help you with the setup
just open a ticket
yes open a ticket and the team will give you new vps and you handle the data move
This applies to KVM FAT Slice Plans (Performance + Storage) and KVM Slim Slice Plans (High Density, Performance), but not Chimera Hybrid Plans (OS on NVMe, extra storage on HDD), right?
Any specific CPU policy on Chimera Hybrid Plans?
The attached HDD/storage is automatically mounted after reinstallation (by system templates), or users will do that separately?
not yet we are working on it
no ETA but for sure we will finish it
on KVM now no but soon this will be enabled we are working on it
you will get the price of yearly at the time of switching
but open a ticket and we will discuss
also not planning to return those to normal price within these 2 months so you have time to switch
it is not unlimited now
checking if it is possible with the team
I had to provision new vlans in the morning
if not accepted it will be accepted within 1 hour or 2
exact since the fat and slim slices cores are dedicated
in xen they are pinned so you get core 5 and 6 for example always ,
also no other service even hypervisor or OS process can run on those cores
in KVM if the server has 10 cores for example we accept VPS with total cores of 8
but they are not pinned , you could be on core 5,6 now and then the cpu scheduler decide to put you on 1,2 after a reboot
Also the host processes can run on the vps cores but since we under provision mostly the host will use the free cores and not touch user cores
We have a fix for this but it is not automated soon will automate it and apply it to all slices vms
they are shred cores , our normal policy is that we expect the utilization to be around 50% over long time , but cpu is not used much in storage plans so we go easy on the rules
in KVM you have to mount the HDD manually
the instruction in the welcome email
in xen they are auto mounted
Ordered the Chimera plan, looking forward to having a faster OS disk than the previous plan I had
Bonus: Quick support reply too, 10/10
yabs on the 8tb Chimera.
this one is on /dev/sda which is nvme

Nice deals @servarica_hani, glws!!
Just snagged one! Will update when it's done provisioning. Good luck with further sales!
There. Fixed that for you by adding some labels, otherwise FAT32 won't know which one has the boot kernel of Servarica.
I think he had them set up in Raid0
Ok great may trial for one month then switch to yearly if all goes well, that way it will be within the first month
i'll use it for my image storage, and curious if i need to reorder if i want to upgrade from 2TB to 4TB? or can you directly help me change the configuration?
I ordered a KVM FAT Slice 4 over 4 hours ago, still no processing. Hmm, it seem too long for a cloud provider
It took just over an hour to provision a storage server yesterday around noon UTC -4
Read your email @thodinh
I wasnt complaining to you . Was trying to be helpful to thodinh by giving my timeframe when ordered during the day, not in the middle of the night .
I understand. That’s why I tagged thodinh. I quoted you by mistake instead of his post and I was not able to edit.
For reference, my server was provisioned about two hours after I placed the order.
Thanks @jperkins and @fuqet. My order is now processed. The issue was due to the FR system detected my Geo-IP and address mismatch. It’s resolved. I ran a benchmark — looks good. https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/12509039
just open a ticket it just need 1 reboot and you will be set
Picked up KVM Slim Slice 4. Looking good, gl with sales
@servarica_hani whats going on? My server with you is down and so is your website, meaning I cannot access customer support .
What could be going on?
RESOLVED
website and my vps is up rn
Just note to everyone
We added checkbox on the order form that delivery will be on 27th
All servers are filled faster than what we planned and the new servers order got delayed till early next week
So be end of next week we shoul dbe back to normal and accepting orders asap
