New Year New Server

Yes indeed, a new year… and where have all the tech posts ? Let’s see, been way too busy moving, holidays, fixing and messing up my servers and my  web sites and …

The short of it… my old web servers were slight damaged in the move… go figure. And it did take a bit getting all of that setup in the new lab.

Other changes:
Moved off of Go Daddy- the nickel and dime me got old. Moved to another registrar.
VM’ed my web servers- yes it’s time to move off the old servers and into the modern world. So obliviously we’re on bigger newer faster servers.
And as I rebuilt the sites, these were also moved to newer OS, etc etc.

So yes, been busy getting the infrastructure back up and going..

Happy New Year!

A follow up- My KVM decided I did not fully understand that I need to use HBA configurated drives with using the ZFS file system. Needless to say, we had a power fail (I’ve since replace the failing UPS), and as a result the VM main drive decided to corrupt itself… and of course as I started to re-build the entire VM… one discovered that my only full Image of the VM was last done in November last year…. Good Grief….

So we are mostly back up… I’ve still two sites to go….
