Maintenance tonight in Dallas
I received this email in response to my ticket about what happened last night… Short answer = Cisco issues. Been there myself, so I understand it. My biggest issue however was no notice since this apparently has been scheduled beforehand. Virtbiz says they sent an email, and I have no reason to doubt it. But [...]
Enkompass Anyone?
We are considering a Enkompass server for resellers. Basically, Enkompass is cPanel for Windows. What we’d like to know is how many people would be interested in an Enkompass Reseller account. Enkompass licenses are based on the number of accounts and is more expensive… so pricing would be different than Linux cPanel/WHM licenses. But you [...]
Dallas Network Outage
At 1:38am I started receiving pages from binarycanary about servers in Dallas being unreachable. Two minutes later 1 server reportedly passed, but was down 1 minute later again. The support.virtbis.com site is down as well, which leads me to believe it is a repeat of the incident on the 28th of August – all [...]
GT24-1 offline issue
At about 5:15pm central time, we had an issue where gt24-1 went offline. We can be pretty sure of when it went offline as I was logged into the server as part of the migration of vps accounts to SolusVM. I had gone to get something to drink. When I came back I had an [...]
GT24-1 drive error – Updated
GT24-1 has alerted us to a hard drive error… The server uses a RAID-10 array, and the other 3 drives are functional. So the server is still online. We are in the process of running a manual secondary rsync of the nightly vzdump files to another server as a precaution. A replacement drive has [...]
DA1 – restarted
The DirectAdmin virtual server da1 was restarted due to a runaway process count.
At 8:42am, we received a nagios warning about the number of processes running on the gt24-2 node (almost 3 times its normal).
Upon closer inspection, 1/3rd of all processes belonged to the da1 VM.
At at 8:47am, we elected to restart the VM — some [...]
lagniappeinternet.com
An incorrect dns zone file for lagniappeinternet.com itself got pushed out by mistake. We’ve restored the file within minutes, but the dns cache time may cause issues with reaching the hosts by lagniappeinternet.com based hostnames. This is only affecting the lagniappeinternet.com domain – customer domains should not be affected. Servers themselves are not affected [...]
Installatron on new DirectAdmin reseller server
The Installatron module for the DirectAdmin reseller server has been migrated to the new server as well. If you experience and issues with Installatron, or other aspects of the new server, please let us know.
DirectAdmin Server Migration
All accounts have been migrated! You should now login with the new server address not the old.
If you are using external nameservers, you MUST update them for the new ip address sent to you in email. Your sites WILL NOT WORK otherwise.
Installatron will be added to the new server shortly.
GT20-1 virtualization beginning…
Work has begun to migrate the DirectAdmin resellers server, gt20-1, to a virtualized environment with an anonymous hostname name. Customers will be emailed the hostname separately. The new v-server will brought up first, and DirectAdmin installed on it (this work has begun). Afterwards we will begin migrating accounts one by one to the new server. [...]
