I will be bringing the server down at approx 3PM CST to move services over to the new hardware.

I will update when done.

She's up and a purrin!

  • Running at 16 processor cores instead of 8 which should help the simultaneous zone thread load.
  • 35GB of memory, committed quite a bit more than normal to database caching
  • The database and server are running on 4 x 120GB Samsung 840 Pros in Raid5.
  • Will finish up other things such as tieing in Character mover and such back in.

Seems a quite a bit snappier, at the software level we had things quite optimized in the last big code update so hard to notice much difference in somethings that were already tuned hardcore.

Did a test in Sanctus Seru, killed 800 NPC's simultaneously and the entire zone process finished all deaths within 1 second. The truth comes in the large population load, which I imagine we'll see with Double Loot being up until Saturday night.

Thanks again Crabthewall for your many hours taking care of the server, re-fitting it for server rack form factor. RMAing the hardware and upgrading all the firmware and sweating over the server bench for us for several dozen hours. Very much appreciated.

Thanks to Rogean for providing the rackspace that we currently use and our DC connection which provides us 2Gbps up/down internet backbone.

Thanks for patience all. Enjoy!



Thanks,
-Akka

Right now we're fitting the hardware with new bulgarian hamsters (4 of them, one for each processor core). Once we get them in the harnesses and get the food/water trickling, it should be working again.

I am not sure what was wrong with the old hardware.. I thought the server was smoking....(not due to being overworked... but smoking fast). Guess I missed that thread...

We're moving back to the original hardware that EZ was on which has been thoroughly upgraded.

What has made the server 'smoking fast' was all of the software based optimizations, some of it was hardware.

One thing of note is that we'll be moving on an array of solid state drives.

Hardware is courtesy of Crabthewall and the EZ community.

LoL are you serious? Hamsters aren't as smart (or whiny) as we are. Throw some vegetable pellets in front of them and they'll run forever. Keep 4 running, 1 ready to replace the first dead.

Its a shame, the state of affairs the world is in, when we're forced to settle for Bulgarian hamsters. Ukrainian hamsters are sooooo much faster, and more durable!

And they work for peanuts!

Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." R.A. Heinlein
