Power Supplies Failure

Dec 1, 2007

Let me start by saying that we use redundant power supplies for all of our core service nodes, however I am wondering about the failure rate others have experienced.

I have been in the industry for nearly 4 years now, and have yet to see a power supply failure, so I'm considering just going with single power supplies instead of redundant.

Power Supplies: Do Redundant Supplies Use More Power Than A Single Supply

Jul 27, 2009

do dual power supplies use more power than a single supply?

E.g. Say I have a server than uses two amps, powered by a single power supply. Now if I switch to a dual supply (and say each supply has the same efficiency rating as the single), does my server use more power? How much more?

My simple view of this is that it probably does, but maybe not much. The second power supply consumes some power itself, but since its not under load, it doesn't consume much. Therefore, my server with redundant supplies might use 2.1A or 2.2A.

Do You Use Real Power Supplies

Aug 28, 2008

I've been wondering if datacenter owners would use good (real) power supplies, or cheap ones, in dedicated servers.

Supermicro Power Supplies

Jan 17, 2008

Supermicro power supplies today and found something odd.

There are several 2U chassis that are listed as having 700W redundant power supplies. I thought this meant that there are 2 power supply modules, each rated to 700W.

However, if you look at the power supply matrix here:

[url]

Under 2U, the options for redundant power supplies are 500+500W or 400+400W or 350+350W. Does this mean that each individual power supply is only rated to half of the total power. For example, 700W redundant power supply = 2x350W individual power supplies?

Remote Reboot Switch For Dual Power Supplies

Jun 30, 2007

on remote reboot switches that will allow us to cycle power on two plugs at once for use with servers that have redundant power supplies.

Brands and models welcome. We should also be able to access the units remotely to cycle power.

Can All Newer Power Supplies Handle Running Straight 208v

Oct 31, 2009

Currently we are running some equipment on a 208v 30amp circuit and using APC step down transformers to take it to 110v.

All the servers running on that circuit are Dell PE1950's so they are pretty new. There is also a newer dell switch and a Cisco Pix 515E on there.

I am getting rid of the step down transformers and everything that I have read says that all the PSU's are auto switching and there will be no problem with them running off of straight 208v power without any step down taking place.

The Planet Failure

Apr 28, 2009

I was hosted with these guys for well over 2 years, and was spending on average more than $2,000.00 a month for servers.

I had slowly grown to well over 10 boxes, and was definately on my way. then one day I get a spam complaint that one of my serves was casing complaints. So I checked it out, and asked for the complaints to be relayed so I would have record of it..... nothing.... I responded and even tried to call, but at that point they had sent me a tciket stating.

We have recieved well ofer 1000 spam complaints from a server you lease with us, per out TOS we are terminating ALL OF YOUR SERVERS, and you have 15 days to remove the data!

WOW... there was no ability to have them terminate that server, they simply said NO your account will be terminated (all of your servers) and you will be banned from The Planet!

When I tried to call they said your not allowed to speak with the abuse dept, again I tried contacting my account manager, and he said he checked into it and only saw a few complaints, and didn;t understand why they were doing this... In short I barely got moved over to another provideer before they shut me down completely..... They did however offer one course of action... you could turn your dedicated server clients over to us so they dont have to move! THEY ACTUALLY SAID THIS!

I at that point made the move and then they hit my credit card for another month well short of 20 days before a bill would even be due.. I had to file charges at the local courthouse to get this reversed.

My advice, if you host at the planet dont send mail. get another server provider for mail, these guys are *&^)(* and they don;t care about shutting you down no matter what you spend with them, on top of that they will try to scarf your clients up if they can, after they leave you high and dry....

Anyone else have issues like this with anyone else. I want to compile a list of providers that do business like this so I can avoid them.

Godaddy = Failure

Nov 4, 2009

Probably nothing new. Seriously, they're horrible and everyone here probably knows it. But... I'm ticked, so I'll add something extra to show how genius they are.

The problem is I can't seem to reach my website on godaddy. It appears as if the server is down. Both via the browser and ftp it fails.

Anyway, I could write a review but no need... I'll let the e-mail I sent them and their responses do the talking.

Okay, thanks for the information... I'm still humored that needing my pin is
actual security considering it's listed on your website after I login. My
password is way better security because it's never visible anywhere...
anyway... based on the information you gave me here's what I have found out..

The first instance of me not being able to reach the website was around noon
EST yesterday. Earlier that morning I was on the website and had logged in
via FTP. After noon the website was no longer reachable. This is a test from
one computer.

Around 6PM on a different network, the website was reachable from 3
different computers, including the one it wasn't reachable from earlier that
day. About 30 minutes later the website became unreachable again. Attempts
to reach it from all 3 machines failed.

This morning, I considered your response email and assuming the webserver is
up like you stated, I decided to try another network. The website was up on
that network. However, it is still down on the other two networks. It seems
that the website works for a limited time on each network before something
happens to keep the network from reaching the webserver.

Attempts at pinging the webserver all fail.

Doing a tracert to 2leet.com times out at the following: ....

Mysql Failure

Jan 23, 2008

I have had sporadic mysql failures. Cpanel/WHM successfully restarts it and I am notified via e-mail and text message, but I have yet to be able to determine what is causing the failure. From what I can tell nothing is logged ether by cpanal, mysql or the system about the failure.

My questions is can cpanel or mysql be configured to log what the issue is?

I have the max connections for mysql and apached limited to match the servers capacity.

Raid 10 Failure

Apr 4, 2007

I had a server built and it is now at the data center. It is working great.

I have a Raid 10 question concerning what would happen if one of my hard drives failed.

I have a 3ware 9550SX card. If one of my drives fails and I install a new one with it automatically rebuild on it own?

Someone I know mentioned to me that I need IPMI, KVM override B for it to do this and that I would also have to have software installed fore this to work.

1&1.com - Failure In Customer Service

Apr 2, 2008

I am writing this message to share with fellow readers my sincere dissatisfaction and utter disappointment with the low standards and non-performance of customer service at 1&1.com. The following message is a copy of a feedback e-mail that I sent to 1&1 management after cancelling my Dedicated Server. I was a customer since 2005.

----
Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing to provide you with feedback on my experience with 1&1, and the events and circumstances that led me to cancel my Dedicated Server Package (a "1&1 Managed Server III"). I have been a customer since 2005, and over the course of these past few years, have witnessed the gradual degradation of service, transparency, and accountability by 1&1 customer service and technical support staff.

I purchased a Managed Server because I wanted support personnel to administer my system, so that my business team and I could focus on building and developing content. We design and launch web sites and interactive communities focused around creative topics, and our sites are ultimately very successful and highly active. Upgrades of our server's operating system were often done reactively and late, rather than proactively and positively, at times exposing our server to security holes and performance inefficiencies. However, my real disappointment rests with how your customer service has been managed.

Over the past year, there were complete server outages that lasted several hours at a stretch. When I was aware of these, I would call the 1&1 Customer Service line, via the "dedicated server" 1-800 number that your company had established. What I received was an outsourced call center in India, with absolutely no ability to perform technical or quality maintenance on my server. The customer service representatives were marginally understandable through their thick accents, and were very clearly reading from a script. Their inability to think creatively and adapt solutions to the problems at hand is understandable, even if frustrating; but entirely unacceptable is the fact that, by their own admission on several calls over the past few months, the data center in the United States was unstaffed. Ordinarily, Tier-1 customer service escalates to live Tier-2 and Tier-3 technicians and admins; your customer service department, however, was left lodging help desk tickets into a system that, according to them, would not be checked in days.

In the latest episode, my dedicated server went offline on Friday night. Saturday morning, I was on the phone with your customer service personnel, who told me that the U.S. data center where my server was located was unstaffed on weekends and admins might not be able to get to my issue until Monday morning. They repeatedly offered insulting "scripted" suggestions as to why my server was offline ("perhaps it was my Internet Service Provider?", for example). Finally, they concluded that there was nothing that they could do - not even a remote-reboot, which is now standard in the industry (such as an APC-reboot). All in all, my server was offline for over 20 hours without explanation, with no clear accountability, and with zero communication. When I kept calling, demanding escalation, I finally got through to an admin in the United States, who managed to remote-force-reboot my machine. After I conversed with him briefly, he simply said he did not know why my server went offline.

Our Dedicated Server's system specifications were modest, but still competitive (a Pentium 4, 2 Gigs of RAM machine, with around 500 concurrent MySQL connections on a single site). Our site's system specifications, using out-of-the-box software that we licensed to run our site, should easily have supported thousands of concurrent connections before we needed to upgrade our system. Nevertheless, I specifically paid extra and purchased 1&1's "managed dedicated server" option because I wanted the extra care and attention to our business-critical web sites.

FEEDBACK ITEMS:

To improve upon your business, I recommend three immediate changes.

1. Train Your Customer Service Personnel.

Your Indian/Outsourced customer service appeared generally unfamiliar with both my package (they had to escalate several times, placing me on hold for over 20 minutes at a stretch, before they could conclude that I had a dedicated and managed server), and had been reading from an outdated script that left them uninformed and incompetent to handle even basic queries on system status, server and service readiness, and the functionality of my server. Furthermore, they were completely unsupported by not having any live technical team working during reasonable hours.

2. Staff your U.S. Data Center.

It is astonishing, and horrifying, to me that 1&1 is apparently selling any hosting services, much less dedicated/managed hosting services, on a data center that is apparently not staffed with technicians 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In my situation, my business-critical server went offline for nearly 24 hours, and there was no one that either I, or your Outsourced/Indian Tier-1 customer support could escalate to in order to get accountability. Furthermore, there was no transparency: there is no number to reach a live human being on-site at the data center, and your Customer Service personnel seemed either unable or unwilling to ask questions to figure out if anyone was in charge on the ground. They concluded to me, on the phone, that the "technicians were home for the weekend". That is entirely unacceptable, and it operates on a level of non-performance that is shocking to me as both a business executive and an organizational manager.

3. Provide full-time, English-speaking, U.S.-based Customer Service.

Your call center in India was staffed with people who, quite frankly, were neither qualified nor competent to handle the concerns of your United States and European customers. When asked questions that deviated from the script that they were reading (you could hear them both typing and flipping pages to try and find the answer), they ended up placing me on hold for long stretches of time. There is zero innovation, and absolutely no adaptability by your customer service at this call center. When this scenario unfolds, there absolutely must be an immediate, Tier-2 customer service personnel that can promptly, professionally, and courteously handle the concerns of your customers, and they should do so in an intelligent, dynamic, innovative fashion. I am extremely patient and forgiving of outsourced and offshore technical solutions, especially since my business leverages a global model similar to most information technology consultancies. I can only imagine the number of clients that your user-unfriendly, backward, and mentally-atrophied customer representatives have cost you. The fact that they are the only customer support you offer before escalation to a (non-existent or absent) technical team is unacceptable, and speaks of a systematic failure in your organizational management and escalation hierarchy structure. Please, for the sake of your future customers, provide a full-time, intelligent, responsive, and communicative U.S.-based customer service team.

CONCLUSION

In closing, I want to reiterate my sadness at having come to the decision to cancel my 1&1 account and close all of my business with your organization. I have been a customer for nearly three years with your company, and have been very patient and understanding of the delays and mismanagement with customer service, especially since it seemed that in previous years, you had an attentive and present technical support team that would resolve matters promptly. However, after the past few months, I have witnessed the apparent absence of any service level agreement to respond to issues, queries, or escalations, the complete incompetence and mismanagement at your outsourced and offshore Indian call-center, and gross non-performance of your technical personnel and utter negligence of your support staff on the data center. Within a matter of moments, I was able to identify a major and large-scale competitor of yours that offered me an enterprise server solution at a U.S.-based data center that was staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; a full-time U.S.-based customer service team that had guaranteed SLA's of responsiveness; and, professional management services for a comprehensive management solution -- all of this at a cost less than what you currently charge new customers.

The decision was one of the easiest ones I have ever made.

Upcoming Drive Failure

Sep 6, 2008

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.

Dns Report Shows Failure

Jun 5, 2007

My VPS is setup and now when I did a dnsreport for my site, it shows:

Number of nameservers
ERROR: You have 2 nameservers, but both are on the same IP! This is not a valid setup. You are required to have at least 2 nameservers, per RFC 1035 section 2.2.

Is this a big problem?

The report [url] also shows other failures. Are there any critical ones that I need to take care of? How do I do it?

Hard Drive Failure. Now What

Aug 3, 2007

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.

Qmail Sendmail Failure

Jul 2, 2007

I have a weird Issue with my Qmail program. It happened when I separated webmaster@domain, postmaster@domain, and admin@domain into separate e-mail accounts, instead of having them as aliases of each other. Now the standard server and anti-virus automated e-mails all get bounced, and the bounce messages are overwhelming my admin account.

Also randomly some important messages from approved senders also get bounced and end up in there, but with the sheer quantity of messages (100s per day) I have no way of going through and filtering them out. All spam get's failure notice's, but that's how it should be.

I'm a web designer, not a webmaster, but I ended up in charge of this and can't figure out how to fix it. Some insight into the possible cause would be much appreciated.

Here's a sample e-mail:

Network Failure(s), Where Is It And How Is Responsible

Apr 2, 2007

We've migrated our WHM/CPanel server over to a new set of IP's and for some reason I can't connect to them without using a public proxy, this even includes the providers website now. I can't figure out exactly who is responsible and where the point of failure is exactly...

Reseller / Cpanel Migration Failure

Oct 27, 2009

I have a really urgent problem.

I signed up for a new WHM/CPanel reseller account, and want to transfer my sites from an existing reseller account (also WHM/CPanel) with a new (very well-known & positiviely-reviewed) provider.

(I'm moving because the new host offers services my existing host doesn't.)

Now, I have moved a reseller account from one WHM/CPanel host to another before without any issues.

But this time - moving from my current host to the new account - it doesn't work.

This is the error my *new* host got when transferring one of my clients' accounts:

*********************************************

/scripts/restorepkg /home/migrate/backup-10.27.2009_06-42-18_abiaheno.tar.gz
Using backup archive
cPanel restorepkg 2
cPanel user: abiaheno
Force Mode: no
Reseller Privs Restore: yes

Searching /home/migrate....
Found backup-10.27.2009_06-42-18_abiaheno.tar.gz !
Extracting tarball...................
Done

Extracting Domain....Done
Sorry, the copy failed. Unable to find the cpanel user file. Is the archive missing (cwd: /home/migrate/cprestore loaded backup-10.27.2009_06-42-18_abiaheno/cp/abiaheno)?
checked 6 files.....

***************************************************************

They told me to ask my current host to fix whatever's wrong. I did so, and his response was, (paraphrasing) "I'll submit a bug report to CPanel, but it will take quite a while for us to get an answer, and we backup and restore websites every day so I don't think there's a problem."

I'm very frustrated, and desperate to get this migration done. I've notified my own hosting clients that a move is imminent, and they are all holding off on updating their own sites until the migration is done. This was all supposed to be done yesterday, so I'm getting so anxious and think I'm losing credibility with my clients every moment.

my question is, does anyone have experience with this type of issue, and what can cause the error mentioned above?

Second Hosting Account In Case Of Failure

Sep 19, 2008

I'm reeling right now after my shared hosting has been down for more than 24 hours (and this isn't one of the super-cheapies, it's in the $20-$30/month range)

In the future I'd really like to be protected against this kind of outage... I know downtime is inevitable with any host, so I'm wondering if it's possible to have some kind of failover system. Maybe I could get a second account with a bargain basement host (<$10/month) and keep it relatively up to date with a mirror of my site. But I don't know how I could manage the DNS so it went to the second host in the even of a failure on the first....

Does this kind of redundancy exist as some product in the industry that I don't know about (is that what "colocation" is?)? Is it likely that my host has the ability/willingness to redirect my domain (302 or something) in times of trouble like this?

PAM Authentication Failure With FTP And Apache Suexec

Jun 18, 2007

i am trying to setup a VPS with:

Apache Suexec, so that each VHosts runs under there own username
FTP for each of the vhosts.

I have made a username aplushost and FTP works fine when i login, however when i try and get Suexec to work it shows a 403 permision dined, even know the whole directroy path is with correct permsions.

"/home/aplushost/www"

However if i chown the directroy "aplushost" to apaches username , currently "nobody" i have tried with "apache" and many others the page is displayed correctly.

The weird thing is that the www directroy can still be set to the aplushost username and files work inside.

However due to changing the privalages of the folder aplushost ftp now fails to login due to the folder not being owned by the ftp user "aplushost".

So im stuck between only having one item working at a time.

i have put some content of my config files.

----------httpd.conf vhosts------------------
<VirtualHost 87.117.196.247>
DocumentRoot "/home/aplushost/www"
ServerName aplushost.co.uk
SuexecUserGroup aplushost aplushost
<Directory "/home/aplushost/www">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

---------------passwd file----------------
aplushost:x:500:99::/home/aplushost/www:/sbin/nologin

(Have tried with many different shells, no difference, also tried with home directroy as just /home/aplushost)
