@imok@bakageta your servers are ready, I just need to assign them to your account. I've learned some things from deploying @Kris so it's just going to be a bit longer so I can do it a little cleaner.
The PXE issue I described earlier also seems resolved, at least on these and so far.
We definitely uhhh have IPv6, you don't think we have it? It's 2025. Why wouldn't we have it you're being ridiculous, Here I'll prove it just close your eyes, see?

No IPv6 at home, so I don't care about my provider's IPv6 :P
KVM switch is fully functional (for now, anyway.) Works pretty nicely.
@imok I'll probably let you figure this out on your own, but your configuration has some problems with the automated installations, it runs into problems related to how many disks you have or whatever, likely related to multipathing and such. Confirmed all of them stall out or crash or something happens, at least for the three different operating systems I tried out. PXE is working well though, on the BIOS version you're on.
The 2600's will likely just need to be phased out already, since we need to do the BIOS update. Also potential issue with memory. I haven't decided if we're going to replace them with 3500's which are the performance equivalent or if I want to be a saint and upgrade them to 3600. Not really my decision to make, it'll be based on available inventory.
I'm adding in IPv6, finishing up the configurator, and mostly trying to figure out how to properly have it assign IP addresses how we want and get them isolated without breaking networking. If I give up then for the beta test at least it'll be how it is, I'll give it another 2 hours before I give up and just start deploying these for beta testers in a less tidy way.
All of the above means I think we're pretty much as solid as can be with all the critical issues we had so far (KVM, PXE.)
Then I'll go into the datacenter if that doesn't drag out and focus on getting the rest of the motherboards flashed, and hopefully also have some time to deploy at least one VirtFusion server.
Here's a screenshot of @imok's server. Only annoying thing with it is it doesn't sync the mouse properly, I'll have to see if we have the appropriate "permission" to fix it ourselves, I already know how, unless I'm locked away from it.
I do also need to improve the security on the KVM switch, I won't get into the details but I don't like how it works by default when integrated with the control panel. EDIT -- I don't mean basic lockdown, that's already done, it's a step further.
Oh, I wonder if I can get the ISO mounting to work, I know it doesn't work through the KVM switch itself but perhaps this is a control panel feature. That'd be awesome.
Edit: Betty fell down to the floor from the stairs near to the 3rd floor. We are at the vet right now but things are looking better than we thought. Will check the server tomorrow after work.
Ooh, I have an invoice and something in my panel! It looks like my server is still getting ready for server-ing, I don't like that there's so many options for me to cancel everything, time to close out this page and go wait patiently.
In other providers using the same control panel, this is where I find the ISOs.
The automated installation isn’t working. The one you started (CentOS) hung while creating a partition, and the one I tried (Proxmox) also failed, though I don’t remember the exact error.

Want to wish Virmach, Virbot, Virmacl, FrankZ, and the entire LES community a happy 4th of July. My Virmach VPSs have been problem free for quite a long stretch now. Thank ya'all for all ya do.
Things delivered WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO
KVM WORKING (mostly) WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO.
VirMach back from dead WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @imok fucked (as always) WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO
Also make sure to reference drives by UUID, I restarted and /etc/fstab was pissed when my root fs was on /dev/sde, but that was hardcoded to a drive. Changed to UUID (get via lsblk -f) and all good.

do not close your eyes.
what ever you do.
@VirMach where's my dedi on the rack
@VirMach
Please reply to my ticket. My service will be due at 2025/07/04.
i read it Wheres my dick on the rack.
What's going on there?
I think that's liquid cooling
I don't like the guy with the gray shirt. Same character in every movie: the one that says a lot of gibberish.
I agree 100%
O thanks for the note.
That was what I supposed to say.
Damn auto correct.
Works for all genders

Oh so niiicee. Thank you Mr Virmach!

Saw the panel from my mobile and looks good. Nice work!
Also noticed the mouse out of sync 😂 the good news is I don't need it. This one will be a Proxmox server.

@VirMach is it possible to have the latest Proxmox ISO here? I like to manually install my servers 😋
In other providers using the same control panel, this is where I find the ISOs.
The automated installation isn’t working. The one you started (CentOS) hung while creating a partition, and the one I tried (Proxmox) also failed, though I don’t remember the exact error.
Or is this issue is related to my request?
Sigh
Guess I don't have a dedicated server provisioned to my account 😕
@VirMach hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I always confuse @ehab with @jab
I read ehab in English and jab in Spanish
So "hab" and "jab" sound the same to me, it's just one has an "e" at front.
I see we both getting old - just do what I do - look at avatars!
And if someone is rocking default one just skip, not worth to read /s

If you get LSI MegaRAID you're going to want to use Unified_storcli_all_os.zip, then ln -s /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /usr/local/bin/storcli
For JBOD, the old RAID0 one drive workaround.
Also make sure to reference drives by UUID, I restarted and /etc/fstab was pissed when my root fs was on /dev/sde, but that was hardcoded to a drive. Changed to UUID (get via lsblk -f) and all good.
