This is a grouped incident covering 4 related issues. Expand for per-event details.
I'm not sure how to expand the issues from there, though … The host is up, I can login through the console. But inside the VM I can't ping default gateway. If the system tries network autoconfig, I'm pretty sure it will fail, as it thinks the VM runs Debian, while it's actually running OpenBSD …
On the network status page I found this affecting my node there:
Ongoing scheduled maintenance at LAX #787
… But it's listed as resolved … 🤷♂️😅
The automatic network issue are not perfect right now when it comes to things flying around. I haven't focused on fixing that right now. In your case though, it being "resolved" is correct. Just your specific VM is not, which would potentially show up in the future, I just haven't hooked up individual/partial outages as automatic in the system yet.
There was a bug on this and/or human error that caused some to be skipped over. I'm still cleaning everything up now.
Ticket #147394
Last November, I was double-charged by PayPal for a payment I made.
My support ticket has been pending for quite some time now; could you please assist me with this? A refund is not necessary; simply converting the duplicate payment amount into account credit would suffice.

I seem to be encountering much the same issue as @flips .
The server (LAX1Z013) is online—I can access it via VNC—but in reality, it is unable to establish any external network connectivity.
(...)
Well. I just found the server's IP is changed to a new one and it is working now. seem back "real online" 7 hours ago.
My VPS still has the same IP listed, so I guess we had different issues ... 😅
Mine is still without contact with the network ... I'm loosing millions (of pesos pr decade of downtime) on this ...
Either way, I belive in second chances. If he was away for a reason and is back now, he deserves a second chance. And that's not a sarcasm.
I suspect @VirMach is a bear; he just needs time to hibernate.
That's fine, as long as they have someone else covering support during the hibernation period. The issue arose because they did not have anyone fixing client issues.

@VirMach said: Good chance for all the remaining issues to be resolved today. Most have them been worked through, a few servers giving me issues in terms of being finicky with migrations and such.
It's been some time and my server on LAXA017 still has no connectivity. Already sent a ticket but only got AI response.

I’m not sure if this will lighten your workload, but if you could migrate my server to Japan, I don’t need to retain any data; you can simply set up a blank VPS for me.

There's up to 2 services on LAXA026, 2 on LAXA025, 1 on LAXA023, 3 on LAXA021, 5 on LAXA017, 1 on LAXA016, 1 on LAXA014, 1 on LAXA012, 12 on LAXA011, 2 on LAXA010, 2 on LAX1Z020, and 2 on LAXA006 that still need a change.
Most of these just show up because I need to rework the conflict detection system to better handle some outlier cases. I thought all of these remaining ones were bogus but after your comment I had a look and there's a very small number still incorrect. I'll go through these, credit everyone and correct them.
Is yours having this issue with the new IP or is the IP still the old IP?
@tulipyun said:
The progress of the SJC restoration/migration is no longer displayed on the network status page.
I hope @VirMach can provide some updates, given that the service has been offline for five months and the last update was several weeks ago.
Thanks.
There's one of them that was moving to TYOC038. In the process, it knocked out TYOC038. So I started moving TYOC038 to a new node, TYOC032. That one ran into problems. I feel like that's a good example to point to on why it's not done. Many of the others were slated to be moved to other nodes that also ran into issues. I've had to rework what's happening several times. LAX just went through renumbering in a way that did not assume we'd shift migrations for SJC, so that's been difficult to fit in. I'm definitely spending time on it every day, it's just not going well.
As for it not being on the network status page, I have no idea what happened. I can confirm it's no longer on the network status page, but on my end admin side, it is. I have a few guesses based on what's changed since then, but it's not actively being looked at right now.
@tulipyun said:
The feature for migrating instances appears to have been removed.

Turned off to avoid potential issues as I reworked parts of the shared system for migrations. It's working better now for mass migrations, but I have to spend some time to re-test individual migration feature before turning it back on.
@tuc said: Did you update your vps network interfaces?
It's on DHCP on the same network interface and still receiving a response, so I don't need to change those.
@VirMach said: Is yours having this issue with the new IP or is the IP still the old IP?
It is on the same IP, I did not received any IP migration of some sort, only the node migration was show up ~a week ago. See ticket #688091 for the AI-assisted ticket.

I can confirm you are 1 of 5 virtual servers affected on LAXA017. That's good, it means nothing weird going on that isn't already accounted/detected.
I went ahead and corrected yours using the conflict scanner tool instead of "officially" and extended the due date manually. This just means you won't get communication for it and it won't appear in your history.

Hey @VirMach how's it going. Hope life is treating you well.
I've definitely made some time for other things, most of it happening/starting around the time everyone thought I disappeared. I tried cutting back hours to what would be considered "normal" after the first San Jose incident occurred. Obviously, it did it not work out very well so I've been back to working closer to what I normally did (for a while now.)
I finally started "seriously" gardening to properly mark being in my 30's and going back to living on a property with a backyard. I basically try to go outside for about 20 minutes every day and mostly quite literally touch grass since there's not much left to do.
With how "well" it's going in Oklahoma weather, I don't think I have to worry about this, but I haven't quite yet figured out what to do with all the strawberries that come in next year. I think it's going to be something like 150 pounds of strawberries. I'm sure the bugs, birds and squirrels will figure out what to do with them.

This is something that's currently being worked on, alongside IP renumbering planning, and San Jose. Some progress has been made but it likely will not be until at least the next few days for a solution to be found.
Alpha/beta monitoring system caused an overload. I haven't figured out why. Let me know if you notice anything else or if you were able to power your service back on.
I knew Virmach offered poor service years ago, yet its actual performance turns out to be far worse than expected. The SJC node has been offline for nearly half a year with no proper solutions provided, which is quite unbelievable. I wonder how users with high-priced plans are getting on.
