I have 2*400gb H.D.D on my server.
I have run RAID1 (software) on my server. Is it posible to disable RAID1 and use secondary 400gb H.D.D as additional H.D.D (800gb) and add another 1000gb H.D.D on my server and run RAID1 on server again? For have mirror data as RAID1 in 1000gb H.D.D
I never use RAID1, but consider to use RAID1 server.
Let's say one hard drive failed and the DC replaced it with the new one, I was wondering if the system will automatically copy the data into the new drive or we should do some commands to copy the data into the new drive?
I have to leave the Supermicro servers and use only Dell. I have this question.
There is a big difference in performance between these two RAID configurations?
Dell - 2 x 1TB RAID1 PERC6
Supermicro - 4 x 500GB RAID10 3ware 4 port
It is for use with webhosting.
What do you feel is better for a typical shared/reseller hosting server?
RAID 1 or RAID 5 (with three drives)?
If this is not in the right forum for this... I'm sorry didnt knew where else it may go.
I have to build a new server with RAID 1 and WHM/Cpanel installed (in fact i dont have to, but i need to learn ASAP and my boss gave me an old server for practice).
I've seen the installation guide of cpanel but the sizes of the partitions apply to a disk of 80 GB (i think so) so is there any way to calculate the size of the partitions, regardless of disk size? cuz mine are of 250 gb each.
I'm trying to install it on centos 5 on text mode, so far i have been able to successfully install the system (with partitions of any size... since is a test doesnt matter) with RAID 1.
After that i ran cat /proc/mdstat and in some partitions shows me this
Rsync=Delayed
I've read in some places that this is not a big issue... but in other places says it is... maybe i did something wrong
I would like to configure RAID 1 setup. Do I need extra hardware or if I have 2 hard drives can I set it up?

how can explain what is the best one and why?
How can setup software raid1 on centos 5?
Can you provide any refrence?
I see [url]but i dont know is this need to /boot partition or no? and if need to this, is it must set for raid1 too?
How can config LVM with RAID1 in text mode centos 5.3 installation?
I need to do it for xen installation.
I have configured a Xen setup on a dual xeon system with a 3ware 8506 2 ports sata controller.
Array is configured in raid1 and I am using LVM.
I get really slow accesses on the virtual machines, when I create a big ext3 system, the system is nearly freezing.
I just got 2 dedicateds, and while creating software raid 1, upon initial sync up I'm getting around 7 megabytes per second (6700 kb/s) in write speed I assume.
This is a quad core, sata2 setup...
Dedicated server has 2 HDD but I am not going to pay another $25/month for the hardware RAID solution (already stretched too far).
My plan is to install FreeBSD 6 and use Gmirror to establish a raid-1 "soft" mirror.
Advantages: Entire drive is mirrored including the OS. Drives can be remotely inserted or removed from the mirror set using a console command so its possible to uncouple the mirror and perform software updates on a single drive then re-establish the mirror only after the updates have proved successful.
Disadvantages: Lower I/O than hardware solution (not a problem for me) others???
I rarely see people consider software raid for a tight-budget server and I am wondering why? Could it be that other OS's dont have a solution as good as gmirror? Or is it just that crappy soft-raid in the past has left a bitter taste in admins mouths? Or perhaps admins need the extra I/O of hardware?
I am running directadmin for almost 2 years now and I love the control panel.
I have 2 nameservers setup already ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com all pointing to the same IP.
Everything works fine with this.
However I am going to sell the domain and therefor I already want to set up extra nameservers with another domain. Here is what I did:
-Bought a domain (mydomain.com)
-Added domain in directadmin (User-level)
-Added 2 Free IP'S from IP management in directadmin (Admin level)
-Assigned them to admin
-On Reseller level I chose nameservers and binded them with the 2 IP's (I made ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com)
-I registered the nameservers on my registrar (ns1.mydomain.com -> IP1 and ns2.mydomain.com -> IP2)
-I set the nameservers mydomain.com to ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com
Will this work?
How can I create additional ftp user using SSH and to give access only to a specified folder for example,
httpdocs/folder1/
I currently manage a dedicated server to host all of our client’s websites, emails and databases.
We are now looking to purchase an additional dedicated server so we can synchronize/mirror all of our clients accounts (email, website & databases) to the 2nd server, just incase the 1st server ever went down.
The name server settings for each domain name are managed from our hosting providers own server so we can login and point each domain name to any name server we want.
So for example we have a domain say; example.com pointing to the following name servers for our 1st sever;
ns1.exampleserver1.com
ns2.exampleserver1.com
Because we can add as many name servers to each domain name as we want, we would like to purchase the 2nd server from a different hosting provider which would have name servers such as the following;
ns1.exampleserver2.com
ns2.exampleserver2.com
Then we want to add the following name servers to each domain name we host.
ns1.exampleserver1.com
ns2.exampleserver1.com
ns1.exampleserver2.com
ns2.exampleserver2.com
The 2nd server would be based at a completely different location so just incase there was a problem with the network to server 1, our clients would still have access to their email etc on server 2 because each domain would have 4 name servers.
I am under the impression that if the 1st server is down and someone types in the website address example.com, it would first look for;
ns1.exampleserver2.com
ns2.exampleserver2.com
and if the 1st server was down, it would then look for ;
ns1.exampleserver2.com
ns2.exampleserver2.com
which would mean our clients could still use their email, websites etc as normal because the 2nd synchronized server has all the data from the 1st server.
Am I right in thinking this is possible? And would this work?
I have added additional local IP addresses into my windows box, using advanced feature in TCP/IP properties, but it is not showing. Do I have to restart anything here?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs far as I see each hosting company uses various methods to make customers buy their domains. They can provide free domains, free Fantastico scripts, website building software, templates etc. I am planning to launch my hosting company really soon. Also I think to include free internet marketing services in some hosting packages. I am just wondering if such internet marketing program can be considered as a significant competitive advantage stimulating customers to make a purchase?

I'm running PP 11.0.9 on Windows 2008 R2 and I've tried to add a PHP extension to the additional directives box of the PHP settings page (domain), however this has no effect on PHP. If I add the extension manually to PHP.ini then it works fine, but adding it to the "additional directives" box does nothing - I've confirmed this on 3 different servers, it does the same on all of them.
I did some searching and it looks like others have this problem too: [URL] ....

I'm trying to make use of the multiple PHP versions in Plesk 12, however the newer versions are missing some packages my websites require.
When yum installing them it just tries to install to the default PHP5.3 version so says it is already installed.
As I didn't compile these php versions how can I install additional PHP packages to the supplied additional versions in Plesk?
I have just installed a new Cloudlinux 6.6 Plesk 12 box but am unable to find the additional PHP versions as shown in the attached image.
I'm on update #55.
I'd prefer to use Plesk's built-in PHP versions instead of the Cloudlinux ones.
Using Plesk 12.0.18 and CentOS 6.6, I installed PHP 5.6 through the Plesk Updates menu. After that, the new version was not automatically selectable inside Plesk Panel. I added it using php_handler.However, when selecting PHP 5.6 for a website, I only get a 500 server error.
Trying to troubleshoot, I ran "/opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/php-cgi -v", which also resulted in an error:Fatal Error Unable to allocate shared memory segment of 67108864 bytes: mmap: Cannot allocate memory (12)The same kind of error is logged in the error_log for the website I switched to 5.6.
The error also occurs when calling "php-cgi -v" directly in the command line.The same error occured when I tried the same thing with PHP 5.5.
