Bonded T-1
Dec 28, 2007I am condsidering upgrading to a bonded T-1 line for our slowly growing hosting business. Basically two T-1 lines together to give 3 mps.
Any idea how many mom-and-pop type average (not highly trafficated) websites you could comfortably host on a bonded T-1?
Server With 2 NICs
May 9, 2007I just had a question about servers that have 2 Network Cards...
Does each card end up having a different IP address?
Like are they there for redundancy reasons or is the reason behind having 2 just to aid in processing power?
If card #1 fails does card #2 automatically "pick up the slack?"
Gigabit NICs For CentOS
Jul 13, 2008some gigabit NICs for server upgrading. Will use with CentOS (mixed of 32, 64 bits, centOS 4-5) on PCI slot. Which brand do you suggest? I don't want to face to compatibility issue

Sep 26, 2008I read WHT quite a bit and I'd rather not weigh in on any provider issues with a 1 post count, so I'll ask a generic question of my own.
Is there any particular reason that Windows Updates seem to periodically cause network inaccessibility? Particularly with our PD-SMI+ boards I notice patch days bring at least 10 boxes down. No known solution other than to leave settings identical, disable, then enable the network adapters.
OpenVZ/HyperVM On Multiple NICs Advises
Jan 9, 2009My company currently have some spam filtering problem with mailscanner and the Windows team was given a project to come up with a better solution to fight spams.
I work in Unix dept. I suggested to Windows admin I use ASSP personally and works great. I gave them the specs on my setups. Since the current front-end proxy is on RHEL, we all settled to try out ASSP on Ubuntu based server.
We scrap-find an older Dell PE 2850 we can use. I finally convinced company to deploy OpenVZ, this will be our first OpenVZ server public facing.
The Dell have two Intel 82541GI Gigabit NICs. We are VLAN-ing on Cisco switch level; eth0 will be on internal 10.0 network and eth1 on public port.
I already installed CentOS 5.2 plus HyperVM. I configured and brought up eth1 without TCP/IP, just on layer 2. Looks like OpenVZ is using eth0 right now.
For this new proxy, will be routing traffics through host eth1. What's the best way of going with this? The new proxy will be using veth so it will have its own MAC (for security reasons; and network team said this is mandatory).
Should I be using bridging? Or simple routing guests through VZ configured eth1 would work?
Can anyone give me some ideas? I'm asking in WHT is because a lot of hosting companies probably have this setup already. I'm just absorbing ideas...
Apache :: Multiple NICs And DHCP - How To Force Listener To IP
May 28, 2013I have apache installed on a box with 2 nics. I've seen how to force the listener to an IP, but the issue is that this box uses DHCP. Is it possible to lock the listener to a network/subnet or to a specific NIC?

Before they were working independently in different departments of the company.
We are going to set them up on a server so at least they don't have their files all on their local drives, but are there any collaboration tools you can recommend that would facilitate a design team?

ISCSI Vs AoE
Mar 3, 2007I am trying to learn more about storage solutions over Ethernet. There are iSCSI (internet SCSI) and AoE (ATA over Ethernet). Certainly the AoE is a cheaper solution. Besides pricing, what are the advantages (and disadvantages) of each?

Aug 29, 2008I'm starting a multi-gaming organization and I'm hoping to run 3-4 servers at 1000FPS. The server i purchased is a Core2Quad 2.4, 4GB Ram, 500GB HD, 100MBIT windows 2008
I also purchased a TCAdmin license and have that setup and running. I know about the windows media player trick that makes it run at 500FPS and ive been doing that. Well i would like to get it to 1000FPS but ive been unsuccessful. Ive tried some reading about HPET but i havnt seen where i can change or enable that. what i can do to make them run at 1000FPS.
Dont know if this helps but the servers im hosting are CS 1.6, CSS and TF2.
ISCSI Or NFS For Project
Aug 10, 2009we are setting up a couple of servers for a clients application which will have 2 x 1U application servers running XenServer 5.5 and one NFS or iSCSI server (Dell 2950, Raid 10) running ether just Linux with NFS or Openfiler with iSCSI.
Would there be any benefit in running iSCSI vs. NFS considering their is no iSCSI accelerator and this is just a regular Server ?
NFS is simple but is it's performance really that much different than iSCSI in this scenario?
The network will be used by up to 12 user.
ISCSI With Virtuozzo
May 23, 2008I'm colo'ing, so this wouldn't be shared with anyone else.
I'm looking at using iscsi with Virtuozzo Containers, and while the setup for the hardware nodes seems fairly straightforward, can anyone comment on their own experiences using iscsi with VZ?
Did you find your experience reliable? Slow? Any information will be useful.
Also, did you have a hard time setting things up? Or did VZ just manage everything as if it was still on a single server?
Low Cost ISCSI SAN
Jul 27, 2007Thinking of putting together a ISCSI box with 14 sata II 750's, 3Ware sata controller (raid 6) and Intel quad port gigabit card ganged together for 4 gig transfer and tieing it all together with Open-E ISCSi or DSS module.
Anyone done something similar with good (or bad) results? Thing of using this for hosting web sites primarily as well as some storage for mail server and some databases. Servers running raid 1 and using MS iscsi initiator. Have a vlan setup just for iscsi traffic in my 48 port gigabit switch.
Are the TOE cards better to have or is the MS Initiator good enough. Plan on using the second NIC on the servers solely for ISCSI transfer.
EqualLogic PS5000 ISCSI SAN
Mar 23, 2008Has anyone here tried the Dell/EqualLogic PS5000 series iSCSI SANs? Any opinions on them? I'm looking to use two in a VMWare ESX cluster.
Also, does anyone have any more specific pricing than the 'starting at $19,000' that's been banded around the internet? I have an EqualLogic sales person visiting my offices in a week but would ideally like to get some rough pricing before then (eg: the price difference between SAS and SATA). Trying to get prices out of Dell hasn't been easy so far.
ISCSI As Shared Storage
Feb 6, 2008I setup an iSCSI target and two iSCSI initiators but I am having some trouble sharing the storage.
I partitioned the drive when I used the first initiator, a 1TB partition, I mounted it without any issues, it showed up in df -h.
Now I went to mount the iSCSI target on the second initiator, I mounted it fine, the partition I made on the first initiator was recognized on this one, however when I add files to either or, the changes aren't recognized on the other initiator. Any ideas why this might be?
I put 1GB of files in one initiator and I ran the df -h command on the other, and it still had the same amount of free space.
ISCSI Product Recommendations
Feb 15, 2008if anyone had any good recommendations for iSCSI products, either software or appliances for the small business market. We need good low cost SAN storage. I am looking at Nimbus and Open-E.

Mar 23, 2008I am a web designer, and have been doing this for about 5 years now and have never encountered such a problem. I had a problem come up a few days ago where one of my clients got into an argument with the Mavrick Team web hosting and computer services company's owner regarding services. She has reported to me that he went into her email account, and has emailed her clients false information about her services after their heated discussion. She told him that she was going to press charges. He told her that he had harvested all of her clients email addresses and will email them to her competitors if she does not back down. What can she do? I feel awkward as I am in the middle of it now. I was the one who referred her to Mavrick Team (aka as I host them) for web hosting services, and moved her site to their servers. This man has created such a big problem for this women now. Her clients are doubting her services and he is blackmailing her. She does not owe him any monies. She has forwarded two of the emails that her clients forwarded to her, so I know she is not making this thing up. I advised her to move all of her emails to a personal email account, contact all of her clients to let them know that someone has access to their info, and I am helping her move her site. Who can she report them to?
View 12 Replies View RelatedISCSI As Centralized Hosting - Performance
Feb 2, 2008Iīm thinking about using a centralized hosting solution, in order to achieve better redundance and performance while having more room to expand if necessary. In order to achieve this, I was thinking about implementing a storage server, and use a software to provide iSCSI target capabilities.
As storage server, I was thinking about using HP DL320s ( URL ), loaded with 12 147GB SAS HDīs 15K RPM. I will make some tests to understand the real difference between RAID5 and RAID10, concerning write speed. Also, Iīm not sure if the controller provided with this server is good enough to provide a reliable operation.
For switching, I will use HP 2824 or 2848 Gigabit switch, and use port trunk in order to join both NIC controllers of the storage server.
As iSCSI target software, I still donīt know wich one to use. I think FalconStor would be a good bet, however it seems to be a bit expensive. Any good alternative?
This storage server would be used to provide storage for about 10 "regular" hosting servers, that have, at the moment, regular dual 10K SATA Drives (Raptor) in RAID1. I'm afraid the 2x Gigabit ports arenīt enough, even considering that I will not have intensive sequential reads / writes, but random acceses.

May 15, 2009Iīm running a Dell Powerconnect 6224 with firmware 2.2.0.3 for a customer.
After upgrade to firmware 2.2.0.3 from the version 2.0.0.12, and starting to use ISCSI with link aggregation groups, the switch began to reboot every 2-3 days.
Now, i have disabled LAG and this issue also happen.
It could be a firmware problem? Really, with firmware 2.0.0.12 it was solid as rock but without a advanced usage such as vlan, link aggregation, IP routing...
Iīm not sure if my customer would like pay more and choose a more stable switch such as Cisco Catalyst...
