crazed: <3 my new vps
<br> how did you guys manage to get such great disk i/o from freebsd in kvm?
lucky: it is pretty good isn't it?
crazed: yeah i've nver gotten it this good and i'm a pretty big fan of KVM
***: bigpic has joined #arpnetworks
bigpic: are there any arpnet admins here?
RandalSchwartz: bigpic - possibly, but maybe we can help with something
bigpic: we're experiencing an outage for one of our vps
<br> it's been several hours
<br> we've called.. but it goes straight to VM
<br> and our ticket has yet to be opened
***: robotarmy has joined #arpnetworks
RandalSchwartz: which host machine?
<br> I have three host machines, and no problem
<br> well - kvr14 and kvr05
<br> I take it back. I'm on 5, 7, 8, 13
<br> and all four of those are up
crazed: hm
<br> is it possible to boot off a freebsd cd?
RandalSchwartz: yes
<br> presuming that's the one that's mounted
-: RandalSchwartz grins
crazed: hehe
<br> yeah i don't know
RandalSchwartz: hit f12 during the initial poweron
<br> it'll bring up a boot menu
crazed: i'm contemplating reinstalling so that i can get zfs
<br> wish it was possible to just resize a slice
RandalSchwartz: from there you can select the dvd preferred over the disk
<br> Yes, I've installed ZFS on root on freebsd 8.0 and 8.1 on ARP machines many times now
<br> there's even a wiki page for that
crazed: yeah that's what i was looking at
<br> but i just got everything set up
<br> i don't want to recomiple
<br> should have thought of this earlier
<br> how do you get the console via the ssh to work? i'm getting a strange error
<br> <u>console</u>: connect(): 3109@kvr15.arpnetworks.com: Connection refused
RandalSchwartz: you ssh to YOURNAME@console.cust.arpnetworks.com
<br> presuming you've already given your key ot them
<br> or do you mean the tunnelling?
<br> to tunnel, you do the above, then ask for a tunnel via "t"
<br> that'll give you a VNC pass-through
<br> including the instruction to run :)
crazed: well i was just using the c option
<br> from console@
RandalSchwartz: ahh - I don't have that set up
<br> it requires enabling a listener on your serial port
<br> I tend to just leave that disabled
crazed: i got the vnc over ssh working
<br> how do i make sure the proper iso is attached? i see /cdrom and /cdrom1 are mounted but nothing in them
RandalSchwartz: you can mount them while up
<br> something like sudo mount -t iso8660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
<br> but google for sure
***: robotarmy has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
crazed: ah cool
<br> i see it
RandalSchwartz: did that work?
crazed: i just did mount /cdrom
RandalSchwartz: oh heh
crazed: cuz it was in fstab
RandalSchwartz: it's not in my fstab
<br> what's the line so I can add it?
crazed: /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
RandalSchwartz: ahh - there ya go

bigpic: Randal.. sorry jumped out for lunch
<br> our ip is 208.79.95.234
<br> can't ping it
<br> what's the deal with them not answering the phone
jpalmer: <u>bigpic</u>: have you logged into the portal, and done a hard power down, and then boot?
<br> or logged into the kvm console (vnc) and made sure the OS itself is running and OK?
crazed: shit what's the DNS servers that arp has
<br> i forgot to save that part
jpalmer: <u>crazed</u>: there is a KB article on it. let me see if I can find it.
bigpic: shit didn't know that was available
<br> looking now
jpalmer: http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/main/dns-servers
crazed: thanks
<br> just got zfs root :)
jpalmer: nice
-: jpalmer has yet to mess with ZFS. one of these days I'll get some free time.
bigpic: according to the control panel my vnc server host is: kvr05.arpnetworks.com
<br> I've tried 2 boxes both with a connection failed
jpalmer: if it's not responding to vnc, you need to hard shutdown your VPS, and then boot it again
up_the_irons: or make sure you're using the right port
jpalmer: ahh, the obvious answer. completely escaped me.
bigpic: it's the right port
jpalmer: but if he can't ping his vps either.. it probably still needs the hard shutdwn/boot
bigpic: hard shutdown initiated
up_the_irons: yeah probably
jpalmer: I had that happen once. thought it was an ARP outage, and turned out I just needed to shutdown/boot
***: schmir has joined #arpnetworks
jpalmer: <u>bigpic</u>: did that work?
bigpic: just hit boot a few seconds ago
<br> i'm just waiting for it to respond to ping
<br> active response... promising
<br> sweet.. back in
jpalmer: nice
bigpic: thx for the help
jpalmer: no problem
bigpic: still very strange why it just went dark
<br> i'll comb the logs
jpalmer: which OS? and.. let me know what you find. I never found the cause when it happened to me a couple months ago.
bigpic: freebsd 8
