Fezile server down

[Colin Finck]

Hi all,

Fezile, one of our servers in Sweden, unexpectedly disappeared after a
reboot today. Unfortunately, this is one of our older servers without an
IPMI module, so we have to wait till it's rebooted manually. I'll keep
you informed when this is done.

The server outage affects the following services:
* iso.reactos.org
* doxygen.reactos.org
* cppcheck.reactos.org
* VMware Player Test slave
* VMware Player Patchbot

We apologize for the inconveniences!

If you have any idea where we can still get a suitable IPMI module for
these servers, we would be highly interested!
The needed models are ASUS ASMB3 and Tyan M3291.

Best regards,

Colin Finck

We can buy these now.

Tyan M3291 is available on ebay.

Thank you very much, Sylvain! For some reason, my German eBay didn't
find these even when I set it to look for international offers. I've
already contacted a seller to get information about shipping to Sweden.

I've also found another vendor for the ASMB3-iKVM. But it's good to have
the Australian option, too. Checking with them as well.

Cheers,

Colin

Checked shipping with all vendors now. The Portuguese one for the
ASMB3-iKVM did not reply while the Australian one did. Their total price
incl. shipping is around 158$, which is ~116 EUR. No idea if they are
talking about USD or AUD here, but difference would be negligible.
We may have to pay additional taxes when importing it into Sweden, so in
the worst case, the total price would be around 150 EUR. Still
acceptable for a full remote KVM solution for our Debug server in my
opinion.

Remaining problem is the Tyan M3291. The vendor didn't reply either and
it may be one of those sellers who only answer after buying. As we're
quite limited in options here, I'd like to proceed with the order and
try to get shipping information afterwards.
If it isn't possible for the seller to ship it to Sweden, could I send
it to any of our US guys and you ship it to Sweden afterwards? You will
be reimbursed for the additional costs of course!
Just write here or send me an E-Mail if you volunteer.

Cheers,

Colin

Unfortunately, we have to start over on this again. I've been struggling
with the Australian dealer for over one month now, as it decided to
raise shipping costs tenfold and then expected me to submit my credit
card details over plain E-Mail... They finally cancelled the transaction
today and issued a refund for my already paid costs.

So, suggestions are welcome again for alternative dealers :)
The Portuguese ones still don't reply. Has anybody seen other locations
for getting an ASMB3-iKVM?

The Tyan board has been shipped and will be tested when Jan is back from
vacations.

Cheers,

Colin

Proxmox VE is an hypervisor (and thus an OS).
We're talking about hardware here. IPMI like and so on.

Fezile has been rebooted and all its services are fully up again. Sorry
for the inconveniences!
Builds have been resubmitted to reupload all missing ISOs.
