Rebooting GT24-2 to add new kernel parameter
Turning off power management that messes with Xen… Should be a quick reboot.
Well nothing goes as planned… grub didn’t like the new parameter for Xen. But on the bright side, we got to try out the backup plan for real. And it worked! Restored the container to another server and started it. BTW, no customer [...]

GT24-1 vzdump issue

Moving all customer facing servers to a virtualized environment
The new CPanel/WHM server is the first in the process of migrating all customer facing websites (with the exception of the HyperVM management console for obvious reasons) to a virtualized environment. Some might ask why we are doing this… Simple it allows us to utilize the existing hardware and procedural infrastructure that exists today to serve [...]

Lagniappe Internet now offering CPanel/WHM Reseller Accounts
Due to popular demand, we’re not offering CPanel/WHM with Fantastico reseller accounts. Not even shown on the website, this is one of the few places you can learn about the offering and get the links to sign up…
For the time being, the CPanel accounts mirror the DirectAdmin accounts in resource limits and pricing. But don’t [...]
GT20-1 hung on reboot
Gt20-1 recognized a problem and tried to reboot… On reboot the LSI MegaRAID card recognized a dirty cache with no Battery Back UP present (on the card itself) and stopped during POST. Looking further into the problem, we found that somehow the cache policy for the card was Write-Back which it should not have been without a [...]
