That'd be interesting if we allow people to request whatever they want, the only catch is we only do it when it's financially feasible. I'm sure inflation and energy costs will catch up to us eventually though so running 180W TDP in 2032 might end up costing $80 a month.

@rockinmusicgv said: there simply weren't enough Ryzen chips/mobos/servers on the market to get setup somewhere else? And now the SHTF...
i remembered virmach said he can't get server chassis...
@rockinmusicgv said:
I haven't been paying super close attention to the thread so I hope I'm not asking something that's already been discussed. Is some of the problem caused by VirMach being unable to get new equipment due to shortages? I.e., VirMach wanted to leave a certain WNY datacenter but there simply weren't enough Ryzen chips/mobos/servers on the market to get setup somewhere else? And now the SHTF...
I'll try to tell the whole story again and add some more details.
What ended up happening is we had something like 200~ chassis with E3 processors and enough CPUs, SSDs, motherboards for them all. These were for dedicated server customers.
ASRock, the only brand that makes Ryzen motherboards and therefore Ryzen motherboard and chassis combos for datacenter use (the motherboards have built-in BMC chip, so IPMI) ran into huge supply chain issues. They initially quoted us let's say $X per chassis and motherboard combo and then ghosted us for a few months, no longer replying to our sales request. By the time we grabbed their attention and went through the entire process of contacting the same sales manager, he didn't seem very interested in making the deal (but was essentially forced to reply after we bothered a dozen people about it.) So he just punted it to one of their resellers instead, who quoted us a higher price than MSRP. This ended up being about double the original cost and was not within our budget.
It no longer made sense to buy the motherboard and chassis combo, since it was something like triple the cost of just buying the motherboard. The chassis combo came with a power supply, heatsink, fans, and appropriate brackets/cables.
At the same time, this was when gasoline prices were skyrocketing and there was a general shortage in workers in the US and globally. This meant we had to now try to individually source all these missing parts ourselves. There's only so many power supplies we could purchase, so many fans, and we also had to 3D print brackets because they weren't really for sale for a custom chassis being converted to fit what we were trying to achieve. Most of it was OK, except getting a bulk quantity of the same chassis was the more difficult part. We got lucky with the 200~ we had purchased earlier, and got them at a good price, but with shipping costs alone, it would have ended up costing around $50 per chassis just to get it shipped. Something weird happened around the same time where shipping via freight actually ended up being more expensive than just sending them per box, so we couldn't save any money either by purchasing them in bulk. Then the final issue was getting rails that fit the specific chassis we would have to purchase, and it essentially made it impossible to try to get 100+ chassis that were more or less the "same" to where we could CAD and 3D print parts for them. Most the "bulk" chassis available were with built-in I/O panels for specific boards so we would have had to cut out a square on every single one if we went that route.
Long story short, by the time we absolutely had to finish these builds, which at this point in time consisted of all of them being "done" except for placing them in the chassis, the only viable option was to use the chassis we had already built for the customer E3 dedicated servers. We also already had rails for them which were difficult to find on short notice in bulk quantities. This meant our plan for having replacements for E3 servers had to be delayed indefinitely. To add insult to injury, this meant we had to undo all the work we had already done for the E3 servers (putting in and testing the motherboards, labeling everything, putting in RAID controllers, SSD brackets, etc.) We did probably end up saving $50,000 in the process but this was $50,000 we hadn't planned on having to pay on top of everything in the first place so, again, it was the only option for various reasons. Plus even if we did pay the extra money to try to get the proper chassis and motherboard combos, it was still on a 2 month backorder.
So at least 100 chassis meant for customer E3 servers ended up being repurposed for our Ryzen builds that were going to be used for customer VPS services instead. And the other 100 or so left were a different type of servers where the rail kits were impossible to find for months and months, and those also happened to be the ones we hadn't finished building out yet as a result of having no rails (they were de-prioritized.) This meant on top of everything, we were now short on time. Even if we did figure out the rail kit situation with maybe using universal rails, we still had to redo the builds into the second half of chassis.
The backup plan was to just rent these servers instead, and we found a partner for those bulk quantity E3 rentals, we just ended up getting screwed over at the finish line with what abruptly happened last week.
As for customer Ryzen builds, we did have a smaller portion of the E3 purchases being upgraded by customers to Ryzen builds, I believe 3600X. We just couldn't do those because all the motherboards ended up being used for the VPS builds. The prices on those also went up and the only alternative required a KVM switch setup for IPMI which meant we had to more specifically plan out exactly which cabinets they went into and it ended up being a logistical nightmare with everything else going on. Again, this was just a small quantity of them so it's basically just a footnote to the whole scenario.

I saw your kind private message, as well as other offers by everyone. I'm still trying to think if there's a viable method of accepting everyone's offer of assistance. The closest idea I had was launching an official message board where people such as yourself could essentially have the role of official moderators and be equipped to deal with the majority of basic questions and requests which do take up the majority of the current ticket queue.
I'll try to finalize a plan, if any, over the weekend.

I didn't mean to make you type all that out. I just remember seeing a post about a server that might have been dropped. I know from my own experience getting chips out of China/Taiwan/HK has been nearly impossible over the past few years. The last time I had a quote it was something on the order of $60/kg using a courier like FedEx. I couldn't imagine how much it must've cost to get servers chassis out.

My personal advice would be to accept and delegate some work (maybe aging or basic tickets?) so you can feed your focus 👌
For virtual servers, we've located and organized disaster recovery backups for any remaining VMs. This is about 700 or 800 of them, and it'd be for any VMs that got marked as "locked" around Wednesday not yet migrated. A small quantity of VMs had corrupt backups, I think maybe 20 of them total so for those we'll recreate them at the end. This number isn't including any other nodes or transfers that previously had issues, it's only for the most recent issue. These were delegated to be done by someone else earlier on Wednesday but he unfortunately ran into issues and I needed to help so it was delayed.
For dedicated servers, we now have about 30% of them available for immediate provisioning. I fell behind on handing them out the last two days as several other tasks came up such as fixing ATLZ007 which went down again, as well as configuring several new nodes and troubleshooting the last dozen builds I need to send out and probably a dozen other smaller tasks, but we're on track to finish all the deliveries today.

I'm guessing that it would be in fact more work for you if some of us didn't care about the restore but more having the vps active again (ie: we rebuilt from scratch once they were configured on a host node)?
I know the two I have in this state have nothing critical on them and i can rebuild them pretty quickly but I assume that would involve more manual work to separate them from restore routines and such?
All this work and tragedy just because you are inclined to use Ryzen, a Desktop CPU. I do understand they are nice, cheap alternative to EPYC, people love the brand, etc. But what about other CPU's and type of builds? Maybe this process would have been less of an issue, specially the part of the mobos/chassis?
From what I gather ... you are a big provider, the numbers you are mentioning aren't small.
WebNX / GorillaServers (sister company) has like overstock of Ryzen servers. What about making a deal there, probably better than buying and colo'ing at this stage?

I like those super special and low cost offers, and i understand as it's a super cheap offer it's normal to not get fast support; as well as the fact there is ton of tickets related to migration etc.
I'm on a node, named NYCB011X. I wonder what the "X" means? My instance is offline since more than 1w, and clicking the "boot" button doesn't change anything. It doesn't start at all, no bios, no kvm, nothing. I've opened a "priority support" ticket but yeah, they are all busy ^^. So what this X means, is it something regular or something about an ongoing issue with the node? There is nothing on Network Status page.
This thread goes fast, so maybe i've missed the part about it. Thanks for answering ^^.

My VPS ever since migrated to Ryzen is working fine and dandy. I think it was 12 days ago but I waited 3, 4 days before migrating my site and it has been running perfectly ever since. In fact its speed is noticeably fast than before thanks to new Ryzens.
There is another VPS for which I am facing a small issue of not being able to access SolusVM. I opened ticket like 14 days ago but I understand there are other critical issues so no big deal I can wait.

@o_be_one said: So what this X means, is it something regular or something about an ongoing issue with the node?
The designation was mentioned on OGF (IIRC something to do with a particular server build) and it was subsequently dropped - got sod all to do with status of the node. Virmach will rightly be concentrating on getting dedicated servers sorted out, before returning to VPS nodes. Adding a Ticket to the long queue will serve no purpose whatsoever. Patience.
One assumes you have a backup of your exceedingly important & expensive VPS, therefore (in the interim) an attempt to install Ryzen Almalinux from the Solus control panel will be a viable option.
Yeah, if you got back through the thread you'll see it designates the node being 10G capable. No X doesn't necessarily mean lack of 10G because he started adding it to hostnames part-way through.
