heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) jpalmer: up_the_irons: I know this is probably an odd question, but.. I need a windows VPS. Do you know if windows 7 or 8 would work in one of your containers if I had you mount the CD image? (legit license and all, of course) -: sng emails sales about upgrading.
jpalmer emails sales about downgrading.. to windows :/ sng: jpalmer: I'm sorry.,
After about a month or so I want to go to a jumbo with two coreds.
I am very happy. jpalmer: sng: yeah, I'm seriously happy with ARP.. have a few VPS's with them (personal, as well as company) but.. I suddenly have a need for a windows VPS. Hoping ARP can do that.. but if not, I may have to signup for another service in addition :/ sng: jpalmer: Ping on me if they can't hook you up with a Windows box.
My corporate overlords are more expensive but I know they do Windows. jpalmer: can do
I think I remember up_the_irons saying that he has a couple windows VPS customers, but not 100% certain. sng: Ironically they don't do BSD and that's why I'm with ARP for my personal stuff. brycec: jpalmer: Correct, up_the_irons has said that he has customers running Windows. So I'm sure you'll be able to. ***: heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks

I thought he mentioned it several months ago. didn't realize it was also a recent conversation. Good to know. I'd really prefer to stick with ARP for this VPS ;) ***: heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer)

heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) mnathani: Any hiccups on the network presently? jpalmer: not that I'm noticing
I'm on kvr02, if it helps. mnathani: might just be a local thing jpalmer: up_the_irons: ping hazardous: pong jpalmer: hrm, misconfigured router! pings get pongs from multiple hosts. the new smurf? brycec: lol up_the_irons: jpalmer: pong jpalmer: up_the_irons: so, I was looking into it. looks like we have 2 options. either IDE and e1000, or there is an .iso file of drivers for virtio
I obviously haven't tested either option. but both should be workable :)
so, which would be less work for you? up_the_irons: jpalmer: i think about the same. is it a different ISO? i can just grab it... jpalmer: it'd be an additional iso up_the_irons: jpalmer: it would be better for a Windows instance to be running virtio, since i think it churns the disk more even if it is idle (big surprise) jpalmer: ie, "load drivers from cd" kinda thing up_the_irons: jpalmer: ok, so like 2 cd-roms jpalmer: right up_the_irons: jpalmer: yeah that's no big deal jpalmer: ok, I'll submit a ticket with the URL. thanks. (no rush) brycec: IIRC the virtio drivers/switch is done post-install
*usually jpalmer: brycec: nah, the installer doesn't even see the disk, it just presents a "load drivers" option brycec: jpalmer: under IDE mode? Weird
Never had that issue before jpalmer: brycec: not IDE mode brycec: Oh well yeah windows doesn't see virtio devices by default. jpalmer: right. I found drivers for it though :) brycec: In my deployments (been awhile since I did windows virtio), it's just been a simple "install on whatever emulated hardware, install the drivers, then switch to virtio devices" up_the_irons: jpalmer: roger hazardous: hi everypony :) staticsafe: hi RandalSchwartz: hey mkb: up_the_irons, if you're still around, I emailed yesterday about disabling (yes, I made a mistake and can't boot...) virtio again and haven't gotten a response ***: r0ni has quit IRC (Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com)
