(Bigger service providers often have a "we'll fix you up with all the Cloud you can possibly stand!" web page with little or no pricing info, and that's the sort of thing that seems obviously too expensive to pay attention to.) [07:45] I can get whole e3 systems for $50 from some of the more budgety providers. I'd still pay attention at $50 though, just because I know arp to have its act together. :) [08:38] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [08:38] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Changing host) [08:38] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [08:43] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [09:39] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [09:39] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Changing host) [09:39] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [09:45] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [09:59] *** Lucifer333 has joined #arpnetworks [10:31] where the Xeon Ds at? :) [10:40] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [10:40] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Changing host) [10:40] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [10:46] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [11:41] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [11:41] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Changing host) [11:41] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [11:46] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [11:50] What product do folks recommend for auto power cycle on ping failure [11:59] First, a warning: Ping failure isn't the most reliable way to detect if a device is down (false positives and false negatives alike) [11:59] Second, I used a remote rebooter ages ago that had that very feature. I'm trying to remember its name... [12:01] (Damn, I'm really drawing a blank on the name, either vendor or model.) It was a lesser-known name, a small company, some guy's garage, that sort of thing. Sorry [12:43] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [12:54] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [12:58] nathani: As an old sysadmin, I'd grab an APC PDU from the scrap shelf and write a contact script for nagios which pokes the PDU. That might not work for everyone though [13:00] You could probably do the same with a Smartthings hub and a z-wave outlet, if you wanted to go all IoT on it [13:01] Or, you could get kit that doesn't crash and need power cycling ;) [13:13] *** Lucifer333 has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [13:23] HA! I remembered the name! http://www.synaccess-net.com/np-0808dt/ (not this exact model, but you get the idea) [13:24] (They don't seem to list the device I used, an NP-08, but it's basically all the same) [13:49] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [13:50] *** Lucifer333 has joined #arpnetworks [13:55] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [13:58] thanks brycec [14:02] thanks plett [14:10] you could use ipmi [14:11] if it's a server that is [14:11] its a workstation [14:11] dont think it has ipmi [14:11] lenovo s30 I think [14:12] with linux? [14:12] modprobe ipmi_devintf [14:12] ipmitool sensor [14:12] then you'll know if it has ipmi or not [14:13] its running esxi [14:13] ahh [14:13] some stuff has ipmi without having fancy lights out stuff [14:14] the whole box crashes like once a week [14:14] hmm [14:14] I would think ipmi would go down with it [14:14] prob not [14:14] it's probably power saving related [14:14] is my guess [14:15] most workstation/server crashes seem to be :) [14:15] there's been a few bugs over time where servers can get unreliable at low load [14:16] memory and overclocking are more suspicious on desktops [14:17] could it be old capacitors on the motherboard? [14:18] i doubt it [14:18] what cpu is it? [14:19] 6 CPUs x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630L 0 @ 2.00GHz [14:20] 6 core rather [14:20] which version is that? [14:20] not sure [14:23] not coming up with anything on google suggesting my theory :( [14:24] was it always crashing [14:24] or did it start crashing? [14:26] I think always [14:27] only bought it within the last year or so [14:27] the place I bought it from said bring it back they will do some diagnostics [14:27] Sandy Bridge EP?: http://ark.intel.com/products/64586/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-2630L-15M-Cache-2_00-GHz-7_20-GTs-Intel-QPI [14:28] not very recent in that case [14:50] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [14:50] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Changing host) [14:50] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [14:56] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [15:22] nathani: Is ESXi purple screening? If the contents of the purple screen don't indicate a driver issue, run memtest on it overnight as it's most likely bad ram [15:22] (I'm guessing you're not running ECC ram in a glorified desktop machine) [15:29] plett: workstation usually means ECC [15:29] And E5-2630L afaik doesn't support non-ECC ram [15:51] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [15:51] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Changing host) [15:51] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [15:57] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [15:58] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [15:58] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Changing host) [15:58] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [16:03] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [16:05] dont have a monitor hooked up to the workstation [16:05] however it crashed after the same amount of time when running both windwows and linux [16:09] was linux a hard crash or did it show kernel panic [16:14] hard crash [16:15] I had run a few iteration of the memtest disc earlier [16:15] can run it overnight [16:20] maybe a bad mbd [16:44] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [17:22] *** Lucifer333 has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [17:32] *** Lucifer333 has joined #arpnetworks [17:54] Since when? If anything, workstation=nonECC, server=ECC as a rule of thumb. 15:29:08 @mercutio | plett: workstation usually means ECC [18:24] *** Nahual has joined #arpnetworks [19:18] brycec: workstation to me usually means ecc non-registered, single cpu of server style cpu [19:20] anyway, memtest should say if he has ecc or not [19:20] do you have ecc, nathani ? [19:20] I equate workstation with desktop [19:20] Same. [19:20] oh i don't [19:21] i mean you run desktop apps on it, but desktop means something special now [19:59] *** Nahual has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.) [23:09] it'd be nice if non-ecc wasn't a thing anymore [23:19] yeh [23:19] even if motherboards could just do ecc with normal memory [23:20] motherboards/cpus/whatever
