CA3LE Posted October 1, 2014 CID Share Posted October 1, 2014 https://forums.softlayer.com/forum/general/network-and-system-status/82244-vsi-hypervisor-upgrade-and-reboot This update provides a minimal start time for maintenance per data center. The order has been revised to lessen client impact and speed remediation. Data center maintenance will be applied in the following order. Each data center will take a minimum of one hour to complete maintenance. 1. SNG01 (already in progress) 2. HKG01 3. SEA01 4. TOR01 5. AMS01 6. LON02 7. WDC01 8. DAL05 9. DAL01 10. DAL06 11. HOU02 12. SJC01 Right now the asia server is down (Singapore). Later (in this order) Seattle WA, Amsterdam NL, Washington DC and San Jose CA will go down. For about 1 hour. This was to fix a Zen vulnerability within the datacenter. Dallas is dedicated so it will have no issues. As the server come on and offline tests will be rerouted to Dallas if you're selected on a server that's under maintainence. Just a heads up.

nanobot Posted October 1, 2014 CID Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ah yes, the BASH vulnerability that was discovered last week if I recall. Hopefully nothing too crazy happens from it. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted October 1, 2014 Author CID Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm also migrating data over to a new, more powerful server. When it's restored and DNS forwards you to the new server you may be missing a couple of days of test results. These additional results will be imported once the other database server goes offline.

nanobot Posted October 2, 2014 CID Share Posted October 2, 2014 Sweet! This the 10G one? Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted October 2, 2014 CID Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ah yes, the BASH vulnerability that was discovered last week if I recall. Hopefully nothing too crazy happens from it. Thanks, EBrown Blown out of proportion. Executing bash from HTTP headers is common in crappy code, besides invoking sh you can mimick POSIX and grab env's from HTTP headers, so this entire issue is null. Sure, exploitable, in some strange obscure fashion, scary? Not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted October 2, 2014 CID Share Posted October 2, 2014 From the article I read on the BBC, it was stated that this vulnerability was a 10 in threat-level, and an easy in difficulty to execute. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted October 2, 2014 CID Share Posted October 2, 2014 I've read how terrible it is as well, I'm not seeing it. Might be super easy for a select few, though those select few would have to do a LOT of scanning to find one machine to exploit this on, much more work than reward imo.

spypet Posted October 2, 2014 CID Share Posted October 2, 2014 should east coast testing be back to normal yet? i'm getting terrible results here, like 2mbps when it should be 50mbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted October 2, 2014 Author CID Share Posted October 2, 2014 Yeah, looks like you've been testing. Sorry I'm late with a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spypet Posted October 2, 2014 CID Share Posted October 2, 2014 ok cable, nvm - it sorted itself out and i just got two nice 50/5 tests as expected. i had asked twc to downgrade my speed from 100/10 to 50/5 because i could not find any "killer app" worthy of the $120/yr additional expense. after the downgrade, everything seemed to work fine - except your test sight - but now that too is normal.

nanobot Posted October 2, 2014 CID Share Posted October 2, 2014 That's all it costs you for double that speed? It costs me almost $200/yr more for 100/20 from 50/10. (Granted, my work pays for my internet bill, but I don't feel like pushing it that far.) Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spypet Posted October 3, 2014 CID Share Posted October 3, 2014 I agree $120/yr is a bargain for double the speed - I'm positive I won't miss it. I'd rather spend that $120/yr on another 4TB HDD to add to my home RAID. mudmanc4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
