No IPv6 for now, we already got our PI /48 but haven't deployed it.

This should be all. If you need more info ask, PM, or open a ticket.

Thanks

  • do you have an ETA on those IPv6? Months, a year or 'someday'?

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    I would say one month, but the "IPv6: things to do" list keep growing every day and I need to coordinate the ipv6 introduction for two companies :(

    Anyway this will be our net
    2001:67c:80::/48

  • Make a route object for that /48, then you can BGP announce it to he.net through a tunnel and have it routed, so you can begin implementing and testing your ipv6 even before you get the native transit.

    The fact is that I'm the CTO also of the upstream so IPv6 NEED to be deployed :)

    We (at the colo/telco company) give transit to a lot of client and the demand for IPv6 is raising...

  • Note that the VM50REC promo code is refused for annual billing of the VZ5 plan. It is accepted for monthly billing only.

  • I wanted to put in a good word for Sal's VZ offerings and include some benchmarks. I've been using his VZ5 for a few days and everything has been great, including the support. When I had problems upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 on it, Sal had a new template debugged and set up in less than 6 hours from ticket opening :)

    Geekbench score: 3719
    This was the 2nd run, first was 3723, so practically no variance.

    The standard dd test:

    root@fire:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
    16384+0 records in
    16384+0 records out
    1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 12.8098 s, 83.8 MB/s

    I know @prometeus has mentioned before about how the "disk" is on a SAN, so sequential writes may not be the best benchmark. So, here's the ioping:

    --- / (simfs /vz/private/206) ioping statistics ---
    50 requests completed in 49032.8 ms, 2017 iops, 7.9 mb/s
    min/avg/max/mdev = 0.3/0.5/6.6/0.9 ms

    And for the disk benchmark fanatics, here's a bonnie++ test with default parameters:

    root@fire:~# bonnie++ -u root -yp

    The -yp option in the command line syncs before each test, which is the closest to conv=fdatasync behavior. I've bolded the important numbers: block writes at 85 MB/s are about the dd figure; block reads are at 195 MB/s, and random file creation (16384 files, 0 bytes each) ran at 5339 files/sec.

    I think @prometeus stated in an earlier thread (either here or on WHT) that the code applied only to monthly. If it applied to yearly that would be fantastic ;)

    Yup :)

    The annual is already discounted...

    That is pretty rude considering the coupon is intended for LowEndTalk users and
    you don't even mention LowEndTalk, you just rip the content and coupons.

  • If only it was Xen would be a awesome deal then

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    I'm still indecise about the next lowend offer. I've a few RHEV paid support license I could use to build a small KVM cluster destined to low end (including affordable windows spla license) but i need to write a whmcs module (at least for minimal provisioning functions) because when I started doing things manually (as we do for our "offline " high end clients) it was a pita....
    The other option is to stick with solusvm and what it can do... What is the better option for solusvm: xen or kvm?

    @prometeus said: The other option is to stick with solusvm and what it can do... What is the better option for solusvm: xen or kvm?

    I have used SolusVM with VPSs on Xen-HVM, Xen-PV and KVM. HVM/KVM are similar, you get the VNC viewer and you install from ISO. Xen-PV is much like OVZ, templates, etc. and serial console. I think Xen-PV is the easiest to use (=less tickets for you :)

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    Thanks for the bench (the box is a quad socket 12 core, so should have enough power for everyone) .

    Xen pv was (and still is) my love several years ago and I use it when I need to virtualize on the fly. So i know it very well (i run it on my experiment load box some of you got for free) but people ask for iso installation so i need to choose between kvm and hvm xen... :)

  • It wasnt windows where the problem is. its openvpn-as

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Haha, you are moving fast, arent you :P
    Here is my chance for another...

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Bah, I copied and pasted the wrong code, then when i applied the correct one, the OS changed back to centos even tho I wanted Debian 6 without me seeing it...
    I hope there is a way to change back, I really dont like centos 5.
    M

  • @prometeus said: Xen pv was (and still is) my love several years ago and I use it when I need to virtualize on the fly.

    Me too, me too! Some people dislike OpenVZ, some other people prefer KVM or Xen-HVM above anything but no one, well almost no one dislike Xen-PV.

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    @Maounique said: I wanted Debian 6

    Changed that, and also your password because I discovered there is a bug in whmcs/soluswm when you use some (#$,< etc) chars in your password... Need to modify the template for that.

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    @Spirit said: almost no one dislike Xen-PV

    It seems I need to setup at least one node for you :)

    Thanks :)

    @prometeus said: I discovered there is a bug in whmcs/soluswm when you use some (#$,< etc) chars in your password

    Hum, maybe that particular version because I kept using those chars and didnt have problems, at least none that I am aware of.

    Today it happened two time, one client was also unlucky because she opened a ticket but for 12 hours we had a lot of false positive spam (including our tickets) and I didn't notice it until I checked in in the whmcs interface :(

    Need to investigate more.

    Seems top notch on all levels, asked to switch to annually after a day's usage.
