you represent an audience that is underserved in the hosting marketplace, which is why i like implementing your suggestions, since they will usually end up being unique and set ARP Networks apart from the 10,000 other hosting companies out there
i got the urge to work on that nic / hd change feature

oh bbot
I need to look at that more. maybe I (or someone) can code the spice bits ;-)
up_the_irons: i think you're pretty set apart from just having your own control panel as a start
and not using cogent
toddf: both the latency/lag when typing, and the having to constantly try and reconnect to get it as it comes up, would be my biggest gripes
i imagine spice would still require the reconnecting thing, but if the latency/lag goes down it'd be nice.  it would be nice if it could be persistent, so that connection didn't drop when you reboot..
IIRC it doesn't drop when you reboot, but you're probably talking about a "power cycle" (killing the process and starting again)
In which case, there isn't a good way around that.
spice and vnc both connect tcp to the kvm process directly. I am not aware if spice can be told to retry instead of restart, will try that another time and remember to mention results here.
(Proxmox does some proxying crap, but ultimately does end up connected to the process)
yeh maybe it was reboot
err power cycle
it's a non acpi reboot
i think openbsd got stuck somehow
like the "boot" commands weren't rebooting
For the first time in 5 years, we have had some colocation space open up in our cage.  If anyone knows anyone that is in need, contact me.
On that note, what would y'all reckon is decent 1U pricing?  say with 1A?
I haven't looked in a while...
..and perhaps nobody gets a 1U anymore
What happened to the previous occupant?
laid off over 1000 employees and their servers went with 'em ;)
You should throw a SPARC box in there, and offer SPARC VPSes.
is there a market for SPARC VMs?
Well, there's me.
:D
lol
looks like you'll need colocation then :)
Someone else here was talking about it.
Running a box out of their garage or something.
Looks like 1U w/ 1A pricing in LA is like $75 -
$100
$75 - $100
Hmm.
I never turned on logging for this channel.

toddf: ^
yeah
that would be me
sparc64 to be precise, I doubt there's any market for sparc(32bit) colocation
T2k T3k T5k systems can do hardware virtualization where primary controller can run OpenBSD and guest's are hardware guests primary controller can reboot w/out effecting guests (other than the pause in io/net they see)
Cool.
Well, now that plan can proceed.
I would've considered a SPARC VM... but then I bought my own SPARC 150
*affecting guests
