It appears that the issue that @bakageta described earlier is not limited to Node DALZ008. I just reinstalled from CentOS7 to AlmaLinux8 via template on Node NYCB015 and ran into the same issue where the CPU passthru and VM-x/AMD-V is not enabled.

Interesting point - while I completely understand your point e.g. it is the safest, you know what you have installed etc.
My point would also be - if the supplier can't make a template that works and is secure, then surely this shows up other much greater problems associated with the suppler.
Can / should we trust AWS templates, Vultr, DO etc?
I feel a working and secure template should be part of the contract for the VM. If passthrough is supposed to be provided it should work in the template etc. The supplier should say these are 'working / approved' templates (which they guarantee should run) and these are 'other' templates (which may run).
BTW this is not meant to reflect on Virmach - just a general point.

If you have that already disabled via templates then reinstalling via ISO won't help.
Don't get it disabled via templates in the first place and just reinstall via ISO while it's already (still?) enabled
Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.
Jesus, this is just PSA to PSA that you can still reinstall, just don't use templates atm because seems like they broke/n.
Sure, VirMach will fix it one day, but if you really really need to do and need that VM-x - it just do it via ISO rather than templates until they fix it.

Really only helpful if you're reinstalling, I don't believe new services will have cpu passthrough / vm-x enabled from the get-go, they certainly haven't been enabled on new services in the past.
@gogogo said:
Hi @VirMach , i want to migrate my vps from NYC to LA, But I don't find the migrate button, what should I do?
Best case scenario it means we don't wish to sell any additional services to you such as migrations, most likely due to not following instructions in the past, creating too many unnecessary tickets, etc. If your service was originally in another region we'll add a button in the future to where you can request to move back to that region.
Other possible worse reasons:
Multiple accounts
Chargebacks, severe abuse, or illegal activity on your account
Being involved with force migration to Tokyo, account selling/trading, or BF special sniping
You can give me an invoice ID if you want me to check the specific reason.

If I had to guess based on what I'm seeing so far it might actually just be the board and the DIMMs and NVMe are fine.
Is this one of the ASRock x470 boards? If you're not using a riser for nvme it's likely the board. The onboard nvme fails pretty often on those.
Yeah. I don't know if it's on riser or not, I have to checked and compare against another server later or look up which uses which bus. It's not complicated and I'm sure there's other ways, just not on the list for today.

You re-installed while disk was broken, which removes the disk and doesn't add it back. You're already on a queue for recreation, when we get to it then it'll be auto re-created.
@haynhat said: @VirMach , do you have any update/decision for Phoenix location?
It's going to move to Dedipath/INAP Los Angeles. Just putting the last pieces together and then sending out emails. IP address will stay the same. We'll put up new nodes, migrate everyone's data while we migrate IP blocks, then moving the empty old servers physically.
I was debating whether or not to post this, so just understand that this is just an unofficial post, I just thought it'd be interesting to share. Originally started on this on October 13th, and whether or not I posted this, the conclusion is the same, and I'm going through all of them now. Just some background information since you'll probably see a good quantity of people start coming in to complain or complaining elsewhere. TLDR: a bunch of people broke several parts of our ToS and shocker, we're actually enforcing it. No poll on what we should do about it, no new policy, they're just getting the default treatment.
Oh, looks like I can't locate the long version I wrote, oh well.
(edit) It's basically better we do this now than later since a lot of them have specials coming up for renewal. By better I mean better for them, since it'd probably suck if they got suspended after they renewed and they'd just claim we strategically did it on purpose.
(edit) By a "bunch" I literally mean a bunch. As in this list of hundreds of services are directly associated with about a dozen initial accounts only. And these people were caught constantly disregarding our terms of service. I'm sure some of these may have been passed around/sold which is also against our ToS.
(edit) I feel like I'm slowly going to do edits and reveal the original long version in a messy way so I'll stop and just try to locate it.

@VirMach Sir.Sorry to bother you but I have found that my server which locates in Japan has been suspended.And the reason is " Account not in good standing".I am quite surprised and I didn't violate any your tos items.And most importantly you didn't give me any alerts before you suspend my Service.is this right? I already submit my ticket.And I hope you can help me solve my Problem.

To request additional information, do a suspension appeal as you usually would, but also provide documentation to prove account ownership such as ID matching the name on the account, a bill addressed to the same address on the account, proof of ownership of the payment account for all payments, and let us know what you're running on the service, how you acquired it, and how you accessed our website in detail. Also list any other accounts you may have, including any you may claim as being a friend, brother, sister, cousin, roommate, etc.
This would also help speed up the suspension appeal. Remember we're probably going to have a bunch of other people making appeals at the same time and for highest likelihood for a positive outcome, it's best to provide as much details as possible.
Definitely make sure you also actually answered the appeal questions, definitely don't create more than one ticket. If you already made a ticket and it's not a single ticket correctly answering everything, I can already let you know that it will be a long time before we can get back to you. The service password should also be provided.
Of course this is all optional and only if you're interested in appealing. Otherwise make sure you place a cancellation request for the service, and definitely don't sign up for other accounts without prior approval.
If you do proceed in that manner, then we should be able to provide more details to you and get it sorted out quickly. Otherwise if you're unable to provide the information, don't want to, or the information provided is false or doesn't match what we have on our end then we'll waive any courtesies and treat the case per our terms of service and AUP. This means at any point before processing an appeal we reserve the right to first collect a $25 processing fee. Once that's done, we can also tell you why and if the appeal is successful it may be refunded.

Thanks for your reply sir.But may I ask you why not give us alerts before you suspend our services.We even have no time to back up our data. Although I know you want to strike some guys who violate your TOS,but It's not a good way to suspend customer service without any alerts.

Anyone who doesn't trust us shouldn't be using us. Anyone who does trust us should understand that a suspension is always done with good reason and best intentions. If they cooperate and we find out a mistake was made or they shouldn't have been suspended, while extremely rare, they always get SLA credits at the very least and an apology, with any charges refunded.
Anyone who is suspended, unless they have literal child porn on their service or charged back payment, always also have a chance to at the very least purchase custom support to have us send the image to another server and in most cases this and/or suspension fee is waived if that's all they want. We have no interest in making anyone lose their important data.
Anything in between is just attempted manipulation by people who got caught.

We won't be slow with these, but only if the requested information is provided and they're honest. Otherwise it will be very very slow.
There is only 1 ticket right now out of 20 of them so far that has provided sufficient information to begin the process. And many others I can already see will have suspension/administration fee generated first before further communication. Anything in between will take longer.
Support times still aren't terrific. We got another big volume of tickets after I worked it down to only a few hundred earlier last week. Priority queue is almost clean again.
i think its fair game that they wilfully break the ToS and/or at least know deep down their methods arent orthodox, so this sudden suspension isnt unfair.

One more thing,plz modified your SUSPENSION APPEAL FORM template. Current template you just require customers answer questions While most questions have nothing to do with this cleanup.If you need customers provide more personal infos to prove he didn't violate TOS, please give your requirement clear. While not publish your announcement about this cleanup in Lowendscript forum. Again,you didn't notify your customers about this cleanup and why.

i think its fair game that they wilfully break the ToS and/or at least know deep down their methods arent orthodox, so this sudden suspension isnt unfair.
The funniest part about it is that, and I re-iterate, these are only the accounts we pulled in association with 13 accounts. As in, it's only 13 of the 200 that forced their service into Tokyo. Of course they were the 13 most atrocious so I'm not surprised so many others are associated with them.

great! Hope after cleaning this up, we can get the Tokyo servers working fine. Just ordered a server in Tokyo but it cannot be turned on (TYOC039). I see there is a scheduled maintenance in Tokyo, guess it's due to the maintenance, right?

What YOU did is not good. You should respect the provider's terms of service before buying services from them. If you are knowingly abusing the provider, don't be surprised when they eventually no longer want to do business with you. At least they're letting you appeal your suspension.

There, fixed that for you.
Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.
Interesting point - while I completely understand your point e.g. it is the safest, you know what you have installed etc.
My point would also be - if the supplier can't make a template that works and is secure, then surely this shows up other much greater problems associated with the suppler.
Can / should we trust AWS templates, Vultr, DO etc?
I feel a working and secure template should be part of the contract for the VM. If passthrough is supposed to be provided it should work in the template etc. The supplier should say these are 'working / approved' templates (which they guarantee should run) and these are 'other' templates (which may run).
BTW this is not meant to reflect on Virmach - just a general point.

Is this one of the ASRock x470 boards? If you're not using a riser for nvme it's likely the board. The onboard nvme fails pretty often on those.

And if you choose the Debian 11 template:
My Amsterdam Webmin Cluster is growing fast. too bad it's all going to disappear soon, not that I am actually using it for anything.
One of them has AES-NI enabled, and it's effecting the score positively.

I was debating whether or not to post this, so just understand that this is just an unofficial post, I just thought it'd be interesting to share. Originally started on this on October 13th, and whether or not I posted this, the conclusion is the same, and I'm going through all of them now. Just some background information since you'll probably see a good quantity of people start coming in to complain or complaining elsewhere. TLDR: a bunch of people broke several parts of our ToS and shocker, we're actually enforcing it. No poll on what we should do about it, no new policy, they're just getting the default treatment.
Oh, looks like I can't locate the long version I wrote, oh well.
(edit) It's basically better we do this now than later since a lot of them have specials coming up for renewal. By better I mean better for them, since it'd probably suck if they got suspended after they renewed and they'd just claim we strategically did it on purpose.
(edit) By a "bunch" I literally mean a bunch. As in this list of hundreds of services are directly associated with about a dozen initial accounts only. And these people were caught constantly disregarding our terms of service. I'm sure some of these may have been passed around/sold which is also against our ToS.
(edit) I feel like I'm slowly going to do edits and reveal the original long version in a messy way so I'll stop and just try to locate it.
thank you very much！
It gives me peace of mind to have your answer
@VirMach
what happened? My machine is stopped Can't even use ticket feedback?
i got an email：
"Suspension Reason: Account not in good standing"
@VirMach Sir.Sorry to bother you but I have found that my server which locates in Japan has been suspended.And the reason is " Account not in good standing".I am quite surprised and I didn't violate any your tos items.And most importantly you didn't give me any alerts before you suspend my Service.is this right? I already submit my ticket.And I hope you can help me solve my Problem.

Less than halfway done.
Hi, can you tell me what happened? I can't understand this picture.
I want to know where is the problem? My machine is now stopped and unusable, I have no clue
Could you give me more details about why you suspend my Service? Thanks.

To request additional information, do a suspension appeal as you usually would, but also provide documentation to prove account ownership such as ID matching the name on the account, a bill addressed to the same address on the account, proof of ownership of the payment account for all payments, and let us know what you're running on the service, how you acquired it, and how you accessed our website in detail. Also list any other accounts you may have, including any you may claim as being a friend, brother, sister, cousin, roommate, etc.
This would also help speed up the suspension appeal. Remember we're probably going to have a bunch of other people making appeals at the same time and for highest likelihood for a positive outcome, it's best to provide as much details as possible.
Definitely make sure you also actually answered the appeal questions, definitely don't create more than one ticket. If you already made a ticket and it's not a single ticket correctly answering everything, I can already let you know that it will be a long time before we can get back to you. The service password should also be provided.
Of course this is all optional and only if you're interested in appealing. Otherwise make sure you place a cancellation request for the service, and definitely don't sign up for other accounts without prior approval.
If you do proceed in that manner, then we should be able to provide more details to you and get it sorted out quickly. Otherwise if you're unable to provide the information, don't want to, or the information provided is false or doesn't match what we have on our end then we'll waive any courtesies and treat the case per our terms of service and AUP. This means at any point before processing an appeal we reserve the right to first collect a $25 processing fee. Once that's done, we can also tell you why and if the appeal is successful it may be refunded.
Thanks for your reply sir.But may I ask you why not give us alerts before you suspend our services.We even have no time to back up our data. Although I know you want to strike some guys who violate your TOS,but It's not a good way to suspend customer service without any alerts.

For further replies, insert coin.
LMFTFY
Yup!
Tough shit, eh?
(Going on the premise that you weren't suspended for nothing.)

Anyone who doesn't trust us shouldn't be using us. Anyone who does trust us should understand that a suspension is always done with good reason and best intentions. If they cooperate and we find out a mistake was made or they shouldn't have been suspended, while extremely rare, they always get SLA credits at the very least and an apology, with any charges refunded.
Anyone who is suspended, unless they have literal child porn on their service or charged back payment, always also have a chance to at the very least purchase custom support to have us send the image to another server and in most cases this and/or suspension fee is waived if that's all they want. We have no interest in making anyone lose their important data.
Anything in between is just attempted manipulation by people who got caught.
That's OK. Whatever the final result is,I still have to say:What you did is not good.You can set a deadline, require people provide more details to prove that they didn't violate your TOS.And then take actions.But you didn't, while suspended customer's service directly. It's a shame.

Respectfully, I disagree; what @VirMach is doing is good, for his company and for his customers who are able to play by the rules.
I imagine 98% of those caught up in this cleanup knew from the start they were breaking the rules and living on borrowed time.
Set a deadline and require people provide more details wouldn't have any bad effect on this cleanup but it can show a company how value their customers first. While what Virmach did here is unprofessional.

Why you all ignore TOS/AUP before purchase?
I suspect that experience has taught that all you get for that is server abuse during that period, and still no legit details from the 98% who know what's coming. If you're an innocent caught up as collateral, just open a ticket like he said.
I already submitted a ticket.But I am pretty sure that you must know how slow is when Virmach deal with tickets.I may wait one month until I get my service back.I can do nothing but only wait during this period.

I haven't had to open a ticket in months, but I think The Backlog has been pretty drastically brought under control these days. What's the average wait time now @Virmach?
We won't be slow with these, but only if the requested information is provided and they're honest. Otherwise it will be very very slow.
There is only 1 ticket right now out of 20 of them so far that has provided sufficient information to begin the process. And many others I can already see will have suspension/administration fee generated first before further communication. Anything in between will take longer.
Support times still aren't terrific. We got another big volume of tickets after I worked it down to only a few hundred earlier last week. Priority queue is almost clean again.
many MJJs are gonna get their balls squeezed.
i think its fair game that they wilfully break the ToS and/or at least know deep down their methods arent orthodox, so this sudden suspension isnt unfair.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Confirmed on test server. Nice one!

TIL you can utilize RSS feed to get updated on Network Status.
https://billing.virmach.com/networkissuesrss.phpCan charge for tickets first then refund for those who opened a normal ticket after solved.
One more thing,plz modified your SUSPENSION APPEAL FORM template. Current template you just require customers answer questions While most questions have nothing to do with this cleanup.If you need customers provide more personal infos to prove he didn't violate TOS, please give your requirement clear. While not publish your announcement about this cleanup in Lowendscript forum. Again,you didn't notify your customers about this cleanup and why.

The funniest part about it is that, and I re-iterate, these are only the accounts we pulled in association with 13 accounts. As in, it's only 13 of the 200 that forced their service into Tokyo. Of course they were the 13 most atrocious so I'm not surprised so many others are associated with them.
yet another OGF?
great! Hope after cleaning this up, we can get the Tokyo servers working fine. Just ordered a server in Tokyo but it cannot be turned on (TYOC039). I see there is a scheduled maintenance in Tokyo, guess it's due to the maintenance, right?
What YOU did is not good. You should respect the provider's terms of service before buying services from them. If you are knowingly abusing the provider, don't be surprised when they eventually no longer want to do business with you. At least they're letting you appeal your suspension.
