Reboot Time
Jul 10, 2008What's an acceptable time for rebooting a machine?
I send an email to midphase to get my machine rebooted and I wait nearly half an hour. Even put 911.
Pacifirack would have got it done in under 5 minutes

I just purchased my first Opteron 248 (normally use 170's). The reboot time is about 20 minutes. The 170's reboot in under 5 minutes.
I watched it reboot through IPMI and it says:
PXE-M0F No DHCP or ProxyDHCP offers were received.
PXE-M0F: Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent
Then it retries to connect to DHCP over and over for about 15 minutes before finally starting the normal boot process.
Is this normal? The data center is telling me it is, but I find it hard to believe anything would take that long to boot on a new system.
I have a problem with the server time, when I reboted the server, the time change 4 hours back. Only the time changed not the time zone.
To solve this, I have to sync the time from WHM and then it get the correct time.
Everytime i rebooted my server, my FTPd is always down and it won't start unless i restart my FTPd via WHM (CPanel server)
Sometimes, named failed too.
This is a rare issue i have on a RHEL 5.2 + cPanel server.
Server time is:
Tue Nov 11 17:02:51 CST 2008
Squirrelmail time show:
Code:
Last Refresh:
Tue, 5:02 pm
So, that is correct too..
But email arrives with -4 hours time, example:
webmaster@xxx.com 1:03 pm testing email
I already rebooted httpd, exim, and imap server, and the server itself too.. and problem stills.
I got report from webceo that I have some issues. May someone help me fix this?
DNS Lookup: 0.22 sec
Connect time: 0.33 sec
Host ping: 0.10 sec
That mean too slow with the other sites!
I can't get access to a certain site. I always get the page with:
network time out - server at *** takes to long to respons. More people have noticed this and apparently it only happens to people with certain specific providers. And not all the time. Some times they DO get access eventy to they belong to the same ISP. So I guess an ISP isn't blocking access to it otherwise it would be permenantly/The site administrator insists that certain ISP's are blocking his site. He's hosting it on his own server. The domain belongs is registered at namecheap.com.
If an ISP is blocking this site (if that's possible?), that would lead to that 'network timeout' page wouldn't it?
What is the most likely reason for getting a timeout page anyway?
I have a dedicated server specs: AMD 3500+ 64 Bit CPU, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB Sata Drive. For 1 month, CPU load average reaches 40-50 value. This happens about 5-6 times in a day. When I stop httpd service for 30 seconds everything goes normal. I think this is not a DoS attack because it comes systematic, I dont believe no one makes this regularly except bots.
Maybe its a system service or a cronjob but it stops when I turn off httpd service?
How can I be sure about what's making this regularly load?
I also did set up a script which mail me when load average of system goes crazy and restart httpd service. But instant restart is not working to stop load increase.
The server is going down from time to time, every 12 days or so the site hosted there is no longer accesible, everything starts with the site slowing don and down and then is not longer reachable, what we do is to request a power cycle, and with this we start all over again till next power cycle, so on so on, of course, here are my server details and more info on this:
- MySQL - 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10
- Apache - 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4
- PHP - 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9
- operating system: Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS
After some time emailing the support guys to barely check about what's going on, we received an email with a few things:
1.- found a few errors that likely would cause issues with Apache. The first error is:
[Mon Feb 04 05:03:10 2013] [error] mod_fcgid: fcgid process manager died, restarting the server and the next error is:
[Mon Feb 04 14:32:34 2013] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting ...
Both these errors seem to indicate that you have a process that is running out of control on your server. We were unable to determine what script on your site is running caused your connections to be maxed out however it does appear that before these errors were generated there was a WordPress plugin referenced in your access logs...
2.- Additionally during our review we did find that your error log for mercadodedinerousa.com is 45 GB's which is excessively large and can cause problems when Apache is trying to write a such a large file.
3.- The majority of the errors being logged are:
[Wed Feb 06 12:12:31 2013] [error] [client 200.76.90.5] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/vhosts/mercadodedinerousa.com/httpdocs/index.pl, referer: [URL]
I have a dedicated server, on Debian Etch.
When I type a command with putty, the connection is closed immediately. I tried shutdown-r now and reboot, halt, do nothing to console closes and nothing happens.
After a hundred connection, I can use ls, su and kill.
I think it's the fact that the partition is corrupted. I can not Hardware reboot the server because CTN1 is "out of business".
Do you know another way to restart the server
VPS isn't rebooting by itself when it goes down. Anyone has any program/script that monitors heartbeat of the server? Like when it goes down, the program will automatically reboots the system. I know there's such a script out there but I forgot what it called.

this is a temporary solution for a issue of php.
I had to reboot my server and about 20 minutes later I tried to access the web site but the page was not found... I am able to login to SSH. However, I am not familiar with *nix or the workings of CPanel... What should I do to get the sites back online?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter a graceful reboot I am having problems with a few things.
First cpsrvd and lfd failed to start, but I fixed it doing this:
rm -f /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel
rm -f /scripts/installgd
rm -f /scripts/cleanmd5
rm -f /scripts/upcp
But next to all the drives it says "No DMA! (Click to Enable)", I click that and it says things:
Quote:
EIDE Hard Drive Optimizations Enabled
/dev/hdc:
setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 1
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
But after going back to Service Status it still says that.
So I tried to enable it through a command by typing:
sudo hparm -d1 /dev/hdc5
And get this error:
Quote:
/dev/hdc5:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Invalid argument
using_dma = 0 (off)
so my server dies every day and requires human intervention to fully restart all service to have my site work properly. i suspect sigterm issues as it fails to restart all service as website is still down so i always have to reboot it.
Tried recompile apache with no success

I'm finding that my server doesn't like to reboot gracefully. Either selecting "graceful server reboot" in WHM or actually typing "reboot" in SSH, which then tells me the server is shutting down. My server is then incommunicato indefinitely until I actually do a hard reset remotely.
Is this common? Is there some way to find out why this is happening?
I'm worried a server is dead, and I haven't made any backups of the database
Server went down last night, submitted a reboot request and now the server is not responding to SSH.
It does respond to ping, so I'm assuming Linux might have booted up OK
Has anyone experience with this type of issue?

way to make remote reboot/start/shutdown?
it could be cool to be able to do it from a web interface in stead off by hand
So I was trying to run a backup process in Plesk 8.1 and the whole panel froze up on me (it's happened numerous times before).
Anyway, since the panel was all frozen up I just went into SSH and did a simple "reboot" (also, as done before many times). Only problem is, this time after I did the reboot the server never actually came back online... it seems to be locked up or something, I have no idea what.
I called my host and they are looking into it but they have no idea what's going on either and it's taking them forever to figure it out all the meanwhile my sites are down.... this isn't good.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice as to why this could be occuring?
I know there are tons out there, but what's the best bang for your buck?
What's a good remote reboot that allows client to do it themselves that doesn't hurt your pockets too much?
Just a general question regarding the frequency which you all reboot your linux servers.
Mine has been up for 178 days, and is running sweet as a nut (touch wood). I was just wondering if it's worth giving it a reboot anytime soon, or if not, how long to give it before rebooting?
I'm running CentOS 4.4 32 bit.
At the moment every time I reboot my server I have to execute:
# iptables --flush
# iptables --zero
just to be able to access the server. (Though it does allow SSH to access before executing those).
And I figured out that I must do something to /etc/sysconfig/iptables to permanently be able to access the server without those commands after reboot. Right?

What do I need to do?
We changed our SSH port (for the slight added security that this offers) and updated our CSF config with the new port so that we can accept connections on this port.
We restarted CSF and we could connect successfully on the new port. When the server is rebooted connections are refused on the port until we *RESTART* CSF then it's all good again.
I would think being that we opened the port in CSF's config that on reboot the port would be opened back up but this is not happening and any time the server is rebooted we have to restart the firewall.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to "fix" this or at least make it so we don't have to manually restart the firewall?
Does anyone have any recommendations for colocation providers in the LA area or recommendations for a PDU that has remote reboot capabilities (small budget, nonprofit organization)? We have a total of 9 servers.

I ordered a leaseweb express server 4 box with windows server 2003 and have been running it, installed some software etc which worked out fine.
Anyways, I wanted to disable tcp/ip filtering which I did and afterwards it prompted me that I would have to reboot the server for the changes to take place, I clicked ok and it rebooted. Now I just can't connect with remote desktop, I tried everything.
I'm guessing it either shut down or didn't reboot properly? I tried sending an email to leaseweb support 2 days ago but still no shadow of any reply..
It says that I can reboot the server using the SSC but when I log in there, I can't really find any reboot option.
Any advice on setup of remote hard reboot/reset on colocated server.

The problem I have is that when you reboot the machine, it ends all processes, unmounts etc as usual, but after that the screen just blacks out and it doesn't go anywhere. I have to physically reboot the machine.
During startup theres a message saying BIOS is earlier than 1999, you should set ACPI=FORCE in Grub. I added this and also tried the noacpi and noacip options to no avail.
Windows ran on this fine before so I don't see why Linux would have an issue.
