roseyysa · January 10

Is AMSD dead?

@roseyysa said:

down for me. the recently migrated node right?

FrankZ · January 10

VirBot appears to be down also.

cybertech · January 10

I hope Virmach restores the $3 transfer function. time to reconsolidate after BF/CM/XMAS/NY

tulipyun · January 10

AMS and virbot are back online!

cybertech · January 10

ok so it was network related

AlwaysSkint · January 10

@cybertech said: ok so it was network related

Wonders if the ping results are better to my MIA VM.. previously measured in seconds.
[Update] Seems to be a routing problem from a different provider in Texas. Other routes/providers/VM look OK.

imok · January 10

Call the AMS 911

@VirMach said: Tokyo migrations

xTom's own branch V.PS also is going to migrate their Tokyo location tomorrow.

ZA_capetown · January 10

AMS connection hickups, seem to be starting again

Ok possibly false alarm, seems fine, think was just an isolated case this time with only 1 of my AMS.

sh97 · January 10

Looks like a route change happened too in AMS.
Earlier, it was via Arelion for me, 280ms routed via US.
Now it's properly routed (it looks like a direct peering with my ISP at LINX), and getting 130ms.

What node? I want to see if it's the latest version or an older one. That problem was very specifically taken out so I'm hoping it's due to an incorrect sync. Did your version come up with an annoying setup script when you first logged in?

FrankZ · January 12

@VirMach said: What node?

Node: ATLZ006

@VirMach said: Did your version come up with an annoying setup script when you first logged in?

Yes.

imok · January 12

Good evening. Any deals?

tulipyun · January 12

I wanted to try reinstalling my system yesterday using the debian 12 template, I selected “[Ryzen Compatible] Debian 12 (64-Bit) BETA” and pressed the reinstall button, the page gave me a new password and the template name showed up as debian 12, but Nothing has happened since then, not even my vps running debian 11 was automatically rebooted.

Node name: ATLZ034 @VirMach

I had to manually reinstall debian 12.8 and a few hours later debian released the latest 12.9 and today I reinstalled the system again.

PHXZ004 Update - I'll be working on finalizing these, and watching the node to see if it stays stable. I'll likely ship off PHXZ004 to Los Angeles so it's there as a replacement for PHXZ004 (by being actually PHXZ004 but fixed.) I'm also probably going to visit Los Angeles soon which means potentially some short notice maintenance might happen there if I notice anything needs poking.

@FrankZ said: @VirMach you may be developing a disk, or disk abuse issue on LAXA022. Wait states are uncharacteristically high at 30+% for the last 90 minutes.

Not to brag but I caught this within the first 5 minutes of it starting to happen. And then I failed to fix it and just eventually rebooted. I've already added a note to do some poking for this one specifically. Others on the unofficial poking list are LAXA031, LAXA024, LAXA012, LAXA011, LAXA005, LAX1Z013, LAXA028, LAX1Z019. Most of them just maybe need thermal paste and maybe redoing the NVMe heatsinks. But I'll probably discover other things while there.

@tototo said: An error occurred while executing Do you want to check quick installers? (y/N) y on the LAXA030 node.

That's mostly expected unless I skipped over reading something.

@tulipyun said: Node name: ATLZ034 @VirMach

Sounds like this one needs a resync.

@FrankZ said:

@VirMach said: What node?

Node: ATLZ006

@VirMach said: Did your version come up with an annoying setup script when you first logged in?

Yes.

Okay that's probably not good but it's also good in some other way. I won't elaborate any further as we'd have to have a wall of essay lesson/moaning about SolusVM.
