I am not sure exactly which model is in my server, but I know it is in the 3ware 8xxx line.
What is my best option to be alerted to a drive failure. I am running a Raid 1 setup.
I went to 3ware's sight, and wasn't sure exactly which software to download/install.
I am on Centos 5.2 32bit and have Cpanel/WHM installed.
When trying to load an ovzkernel it loses support for the 3ware 8006 controller. As suggested on ovzforums, it says to load the new 3dm2 tools. I tried this but when I try to install it, it says it can't find the 3dm2 binary.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI am configuring a new file server, with 11 drives and two 3ware 8506-8 raid cards.
I would like to have one hto spare shared between the two cards.
I have read on the docs that 3ware have "multiple card support" but I don't find anuthing in the documentation stating how to have two cards managing one big array.
Is it actually supported or the "multiple card support" term is just a marketing leadout to state "you can put two card in a system without conflict"?
I just received:

Is it a big issue.. whats the solution for it?
so this is the second time I got an email like this from my server:
This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on:
host name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
DNS domain: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
NIS domain: (none)
The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/sdb, 6 Offline uncorrectable sectors
For details see host's SYSLOG (default: /var/log/messages).
You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
No additional email messages about this problem will be sent.
What can I do about this?
I actually COLO a box.. I sent them the server NEW, and the drive failed a week after I sent them a new one. This SECOND drive is now having errors apparently.. what can I tell my tech to do about this? Please advise me on what I can do.. (There is a chance that this could be my primary drive)
I asked FDC to check the controller and drive, and they said there was nothing they could do.
I'm currently hosted on a VPS server with Galaxy Solutions, but just last night I was informed of a hard drive failure.
This morning they said the DC couldn't recover the data, and now they are trying to recover the data themselves. Right now I'm assuming that if the DC can't recover it, then there isn't much of a chance of it being recovered at all.
I've put in countless hours and dedicated so much of my time to my sites, something which certainly cannot be compensated for. I would like to exhaust any possible way to recover the data.
Can anyone recommend what I should do in a situation like this? Would it be advisable to consult a data recovery specialist? It would be great if you could also recommend one.
The cost doesn't matter. I'm extremely frustrated, annoyed, and confused because of all this. Just like that, all my work is gone.
I did have backups, but they were on the same server.

As I have never used cPanel neither have whatsoever experience with control panels, in the process of ordering a couple of new server I am wondering what's the average recovery time after a server failure which involves data (ie. disk failure).
I am interested to understand this, because I need to choose between hardware raid or backup disk.
For example, at LiquidWeb (this is just one of the many managed providers i am evaluating) you can pay the same server 264$ with 2x250 hardware raid 1, and 219$ with 2x250 simple hard drives, where the second one is supposed to be a backup drive.
I am yet to ask, but on this servers most likely (at this prices) they do not have hot swappable disk drives where they can rebuild the array "live", so also if i choose raid hardware, in case of a disk failure, i face a downtime to bring down the server, rebuild the array, bring on the server, which I guess is something not less than 30-60 minutes downtime.
The advantage of this solution is that a disk failure keeps the system running, so you can schedule a maintenance window to replace the disk and rebuild the array, I guess.
On the other side, relying on a backup disk (and of course rsyncing data to an offsite server, i would do this anyway) you save 45$ each month, and disks after all do not fail every month.
If the main disk fails, they need to replace the disk, install again the server with what I suppose being a standard image (so let's figure a couple of hours, as they have a 30min hardware replacement sla), then you need to restore backups (which in my case are something like 20gigs). So I guess, on an average, it would take something like 4 hours downtime.
Am I correct ?
What would you reccomend as a solution with cpanel, taking into account the huge price difference ? Backup drive or Hardware raid ?
This would be for a single big website, not a hosting-company with resellers and customers environment, so I would value more the monthly saving, rather than the high availability, but of course I am interested to know what is the average time to recover a cpanel server after a drive failure.
Besides I have also another question, as I have never had a colocated server with raid hardware, so i do not know anything about this.
When a drive fails in a raid1 hardware environment, how the hosting provider gets notified ? I suppose it's not a led on the server to blink, as no one would see it.
So if you have software raid (like my computer at home) you get an email from mdadm with "warning, array degraded", so you know it quick and you can check it anytime doing a ' cat /proc/mdstat '. What about hardware raid?
My fear is that nobody notices my raid1 drive failure, the server keeps going on just a drive, then maybe the other drive fails, and it would be unpleasant: while a single drive failure would be obviously very easy to spot for me.
Does anyone have any experience with these two models of Remote Access and VoIP servers?
Does anyone have any exact specifications on there models? I know they support BGP routing using their ethernet ports, but can they hold the full routes?
A hardware provider said the following about the ethernet card:
The Ether3ND card has a spec of 100,000 - 64 byte packets per second for a single port. It has four ports however the card is limited to 115,000 similar packets per second. Multiple providers should not be an issue. The included doc should answer the routing questions. The DS3 card does support M13 – possibly C-bit also. DRAM can be added via the size of the card installed.
Is 115,000 packets per second a decent amount?
I know there's been discussion regarding Foundry BigIron's and their capabilities of running L3 and L2 at the same time.
I have a friend who is running a BigIron 8000 and only pushing just over 100Megabits on it, however once every few hours he experiences a BGP flap and one of the CPU's maxes out. He is running both Layer 3 and Layer 2 on it.
When the issue occur's, new connections do not open, but currently opened connections continue to operate.
Is there a specific packet type that is causing this to happen? Does anyone have any insight? It is running the latest firmware.
1- i did Os Reload with new Hard drive for "home"
2- data "backups" drive lost
3- replaced the old home drive as "/old drive"
4- " /old drive " is now the secondry drive in my server and it has the all sites usres and evry thing
5- what i need , to trasfer, copy this sites from " /old drive " to "home"
but data center said
The /olddrive/home directory contains the contents that were previously in the /home directory. You can copy files from this directory to any other directory on your server.
The command to copy files in the UNIX environment is the "cp" command.
The user directories in /olddrive/home directory contain the web page files for the users. However, simply copying the contents over will not recreate the users or domain entries in DNS/httpd. If you wish these back you will need to recreate them manually or restore them from backups.
Does anyone know a way to put Virtuozzo on a Nehalem node?
Secondly, do these Nehalem's have a great increase in Virtualization like they say, versus the 5450 series?
I would like to know this just for general reference. Because in a VPS to VPS envoironment are these really better? If there's no solution to this I guess the best solution would be a 7xxx 16 core Xeon, what's your opinions on that?
about thei5 and i7 cpu,
what series of xeon are the same as they are?
Can anyone give any real world numbers as to what each model of the Juniper-J series router is capable of? How much do these routers cost, and where is the best place to get them from?
View 14 Replies View RelatedIn one of our racks, we now just have two Procurve (J4900B) switches, and run software firewalls on our CentOS servers. We are now looking towards a hardware firewall to ease managment and reduce load on our servers.
One of our suppliers reccomends the SSG140 from Juniper, and it seems to cover our needs. The SSG320 however seems to have more features, like layer3 routing. Could this device replace our Procurve switches, and act as a firewall/switch?
Anyone familiar with these devices and have some input on what to choose? How does the anti-ddos and bruteforce attack functions work out, do they hold up? Anyone tested the Deep Inpspection Signature module? Is it worth having for a ISP/Webhost?
