up_the_irons: how is disk space upgraded? is the partition resized, or does it require a reinstall?
gregdolley: sounds like colloquy
ToastyX: resized
ToastyX: requires about 10 minutes of downtime
ToastyX: no data loss involved
yo
anyone up
sure, but slow gprs, so don't expect instant responses if at all heh
hello
??
hello
Hello
pong
;/
anyway i can get setup today?
if you put in a request today, typical response is that you'll get setup tonight during the maintenance window
i did it last night
at 2
i was refered
needing to get a www up
since my dedi is down
:)
note I don't work for arpnetworks so use their site in lieu of my advice, but putting in a response and such will get a setup sooner than w/out
nice
so whos the owner?
you can see me at www.fiber-hosting.com
:)
100% daily fiber ?
i like your site but the dedicated page needs a smaller font or better spacing
yeah
my tab'er
was fucked up
:)
i dunno if my kvm system is stable
not sure if i want to ship it like that
i've hadi t off for a while though hm
ballen
sup
have you tried vmware esxi
yea
good ?
if you like esx
never used any vmware products
super easy to use
what do you compare it to vs linux kvm
as far as performance ?
yea, stability too
very stable
haven't directly compared performance
hm
guessing about the same
esx may be faster
as they've been around for a longer time
i've got to test it
i need some stable stuff
and fast
only think with esxi is its pretty picky about hardware
thing*
oh
but if you have anything newish
it should run
i think it will run
def needs VT enabled CPU
i just can't trust myself with linux kvm, i tend to upgrade stuff even when it's not broke
yea
ESX should be pretty safe
I run ESXi 4 at work
haven't had an issue with it since I installed it last Aug
hm
how is it, install it, uses up the entire hard drive and you do the rest from ther e?
yea
basically
bare metal install
install it
set the ip
the free version should be good eough
as it only has 8 gigs of ram
connect to it with the console software
free version is fine
as long as you don't want to manage a number of servers at the same time
na
or migrate VMs between servers
ok
thats where Virtual Center comes in
do i need anything other than the cd iso
like client files / or i can web into it
just connect to the website
cool
and it will have the client to download
windows only
fyi
that's fine, i prefer windows ;D
hmm, the server is at the office but i can turn it on
i should back up everything and do it now
to test it.
mmk
booting iso in a min
sure is loading a lot of modules
but i have the iso mounted through lan
kind of slow i dunno
yea its the 2.6 kernel
how long did the install take you to BOOT ?
not very long
must be LAN i guess
used local though
wouldn't it be cool to go through a resident evil ty pe thing
with unlimtied ammo ?
unlimited
do you see independent disks ?
huh
dunnno
im installing now.
fbsd
oh independent disks... no, no reason todo that
running bench right now
heh
the 7.2 amd64 -smp 1 on kvm scored me 74.2
same thing here on esxi got me 74.4
overall unixbench-wht
but difference
74.3, sorry
