so, lets say i have a dedicated box and can't reach it through public ip's or ipmi (just spins) and have emailed support@. what would be the next step?
Nuke Los Angeles from low orbit.
<- laughs out loud
(Though frankly I'm surprised that IPMI doesn't work)
well the http just spins
the terminal is there but accessing the logs through there is hell
shoudl i just power cycle and hope for the best?
That's all you can do
ok
(I avoid the http at all costs. ipmitool or bust.)
(That's a general position on IPMI in general, and not something ARP-specific. Most IPMI have buggy and/or insecure http interfaces, almost universally requiring Java. That's a no-go for me.)
just power cycled and hit sol activate
get nothing after bios :/
At least you got the BIOS so the host machine is probably not toast. Failed hard drive?
i have redundant setup
i got a bios but cant' enter it. guessing i'm sending the wrong keys (mac keyboard etc)
A Tab is a Tab is a Tab though...
del and f2
(both fn keys ..)
I could've sworn the serial interface added an alternative key, tab or 'd' or something
ah del worked
found all drives. switching now
console redirection from bios is post bios, right?
I don't recall... Though I can say that I did need to configure serial mode for Grub for it to do anything
yeah, can't reach that :/
swear i used to
jbergstroem: looking into it for you
mercutio: do you have all the keys to the kingdom?
mnathani_: i have many keys.
can you provision VPSen or is that something reserverd for up_the_irons?
s/reserverd/reserved
<mnathani_> can you provision VPSen or is that something reserved for up_the_irons?
mnathani_: haven't done any vps provisioning yet.
support stuff tends to be more urgent than provisioning stuff.
i can shift people to virtio etc though
can you turn down / up bgp peerings?
yeh
^ Can, and has!
(based on previous conversations)
haha
when was this?
@log_search session
@log_search bgp
Your search query must be at least 4 characters long.
Sorry, I couldn't reach the database backend.
