    Here's the response I got:

    Ksplice is a feature of Oracle Linux Premier Support, which is only for

    systems running Oracle Linux. If you would like to purchase support for
    other RHEL-based systems you should contact Oracle Linux Support
    directly
    (http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/linux/OracleLinuxSupport/index.html).

    As a side note, Ksplice used to be sold as a stand-alone subscription.

    While we no longer provide this service we have not dropped support for
    any distributions for our existing customers.

    Best regards,

    Tim

    I used the "cost calculator" on the link they provided and a single server with 8 cores and 5 or more virtual guests is $1,199/year. 2 servers would be $2,398/year.

    @KuJoe
    Unless I am doing 30$ for 128Mb, I am not going to get ksplice. However anyone has experience with kexec??

    That's pathetic. God damn I hate corporate takeovers.

    But gotta love that Pre-Oracle account with 6 server subscriptions I've been letting run on without use for almost a year O_O

    Ebay...here I come..

  • TazTaz Member

    @PAD Want to sell your account ? :P

  • PADPAD Member

    Sure, 50% off.. lets say...599$/year!

    Haha.

  • PADPAD Member

    Okay, got one of my accounts recovered.

    I have a lifetime account, I think I worked out a bug in their system ages ago when it first came out which allowed me to take advantage of this.

    I have a permanent access key which I will be willing to sell for the handsome price of 999 cookies, shipped directly to Russia, milk does not need to be included.

    Muhahahahaha, I love corporate takeovers!

  • HalfEatenPieHalfEatenPie Veteran

    @djvdorp its from pies.

    Its always from pies.

    The Pie is the Alpha, and the Omega.

  • MrAndroidMrAndroid Member

    If you take the kslc from ksplice you get pie.

    Coincidence?

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Nope, the Pie is in everything.

    Yes it runs on my OVZ nodes. Like others have said, prevents hacks, but does not add features so occasionally a reboot can be necessary.

  • KuJoeKuJoe Member, Host Rep

    To be honest, I wouldn't have much use for Ksplice on my OpenVZ nodes. I don't foresee my updating the kernel anytime soon since the latest "stable" OpenVZ kernels aren't very good (giving clients the ability to bring down a whole node with a single command is not very stable in my book).

  • miTgiBmiTgiB Member

    @KuJoe said: I don't foresee my updating the kernel anytime soon since the latest "stable" OpenVZ kernels aren't very good

    Which are you using? I have EL5 nodes running ovz that have 6-12 months of uptime, I wouldn't leave them up that long if it weren't for ksplice providing security updates.

  • KuJoeKuJoe Member, Host Rep

    I'm still on 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5.028stab092.2, one day OpenVZ will release a kernel that fixes the TUN bugs and I'll finally be able to upgrade. :)

    What TUN bugs? I see 5 users running OpenVPN on this node, and I would imagine I would find a like number on every ovz node, and this place would be a nightmare of users bitching at me if it didn't work. I mean if it is something and you are being more critical than I would be, fair enough, but I really don't have issues with TUN.

    You are lucky then. I've got a few commands that will kernel panic an OpenVZ node using TUN but so far only a few of my clients have found these commands so they must not be widely known (nor do I plan on sharing them, but here's an example: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=10246). I and a few others have also experienced kernel panics when we try to migrate a VPS with TUN enabled to a node with a newer kernel.

  • rds100rds100 Member

    Strangely i haven't experienced such crash when using tun either. But i stopped using live migration some time ago, when i got a node crash while performing live migration.

  • PADPAD Member

    @KuJoe

    Hell yeah.

    I could sign up on 10 of the biggest OpenVZ LEB providers right now and kernel crash every node within 24hours. I hate OpenVZ.
