Posted by infracom2005, 11-25-2010, 11:13 AM all my vps are offline and the main site of burst.net is off, anyone know what happen?
Posted by isi123, 11-25-2010, 11:13 AM Hi,
I have a dedi server with Burst and it;s gone down along with their website.
Has anyone else experienced this? Seemed to happen in the past hour or so.
Could someone from Burst please update me?
Thanks!
Posted by Karl, 11-25-2010, 11:14 AM Down for me too.
Posted by refreshed, 11-25-2010, 11:14 AM Yeah me too all my VPS (2), and my Dedicated Server all just went down about 5 minutes ago. Even their own sites down.
Posted by yahoo, 11-25-2010, 11:15 AM Yes I see they have a network problem
Posted by markhard, 11-25-2010, 11:15 AM it's offline too from my location. this also include burstnet website.
i'm noticing connection problem since several days ago, some times i got a long time outs and it's random. perhaps they have problem with their network?
Posted by nkawit, 11-25-2010, 11:16 AM all vps and dedi's in PA down here too
Posted by pablolagosm, 11-25-2010, 11:17 AM Yes, I am having the same problem now.
Five servers down.
Posted by S4Host, 11-25-2010, 11:17 AM down for me also
Posted by BurstNET, 11-25-2010, 11:18 AM There was a large explosion up the street from the Scranton PA data center.
Following that, there was issue with one of our generator systems.
We are working on the issue and should be resolved as quickly as possible.
No ETA/details on explosion yet, but power is out in a multi-block radius.
I would expect us to be running on generator power most of the day during repair from the power company.

Posted by Karl, 11-25-2010, 11:19 AM Wow, that sounds pretty serious, hope you get everything sorted soon!
Posted by Taturana, 11-25-2010, 11:20 AM All my VPS from BurstNET are offline, its website is offline try burst.net, I'm trying to calling them but nobody responds...
Oh my god whats going on, does anyone know?

Posted by Karl, 11-25-2010, 11:29 AM
Posted by S4Host, 11-25-2010, 11:29 AM Seems that burst always has problem with generators
Last time it was the same thing .. network cable was cut or something like that and again generators didn't work when power was out during some sort of fire if I can remember correctly
Maybe its time to upgrade to better generators

Posted by BurstNET, 11-25-2010, 11:35 AM We have reports on some affected areas having power restored to homes as well, from our employees that live close to the data center.
So the power company is working to restore the primary power and making some progress already on such...

Posted by BurstNET_CSM, 11-25-2010, 11:36 AM A few blocks surrounding the BurstNET Scranton DataCenter have lost power. Presently we are running on our generators, but we are unsure what is being affected by this outage. All servers appear to be up and running and our engineers are presently looking into connectivity and other related issues. We will post more once we know more.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving.

Posted by ultrahoster, 11-25-2010, 11:38 AM Hello everyone,
All issues were sorted by the morning until recently the servers went back offline. We've tried contacting the datacenter and have had no response, however they have replied online here on WHT, and it seems there was an explosion near to the datacenter.
Here is a statement from the datacenter:
"There was a large explosion up the street from the Scranton PA data center.
Following that, there was issue with one of our generator systems.
We are working on the issue and should be resolved as quickly as possible.
No ETA/details on explosion yet, but power is out in a multi-block radius.
I would expect us to be running on generator power most of the day during repair from the power company."
More details here. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...17#post7136617
We are waiting for them to bring everything online as our own issues were all sorted.

please reply tickets
Posted by BurstNET, 11-25-2010, 11:41 AM We'll post details of the explosion once available.
UPS systems are being brought back online currently.
Service should be restored any time now.
We'll have to go thru and make sure all servers affected come back online, which will be a tedious process....most will reboot automatically but 10% typically need manual intervention.

Posted by BurstNET, 11-25-2010, 11:42 AM Further good news...power company has restored primary power.
No word on if it will go back down again during repair process, but atleast damage was not too severe to be brought back online.
Apparently power company guys want to get back home for the holiday quickly, so are working fast today!

Posted by hostinginsiders, 11-25-2010, 11:47 AM Why is the network not responding eventhough power is restored ? Do you need to boot up routers etc. ?

Posted by melorhosts, 11-25-2010, 11:57 AM my server gone down few minutes back as well.. and that's it .. Hope they sort the issue soon.
They should put a spare generator as it is going to effect 1000's of servers.
Lot of realtime data will be lost because of this downtime.

Posted by SoftDux, 11-25-2010, 12:14 PM Shouldn't BurstNET's generator have automatically kicked in in this instance? And why, if the UPS's only last one hour, didn't they start the generators at least 30 mins after the explosion to avoid the unnecessary downtime?
Posted by st1905, 11-25-2010, 12:16 PM Well i think its not the time to argue with the burstnet about why this issue happened because we are still waiting for our servers to be up and they are working there...

Posted by F-DNS, 11-25-2010, 12:52 PM
Only one of our generators failed, but it was our newest and largest, and affected alot. From what I am being told, it would not start, due to a battery(s) issue (generators require batteries, and engine block to be kept warm, in order to start smoothly). And before you jump to conclusions, YES, we do perform testing and maintenance on our generators, including batteries, regularly and at scheduled timeframes. Most likely the battery(s) had tested good at last testing, holding a charge and correct voltage. A battery was possibly defective, or something else could have occurred causing it to fail, possibly even been the battery tender that failed. Typically these things can happen instantly and without warning, and not a gradual failure. Exact cause at this point unknown, but that is the general issue with the genset not starting up.

Hopefully no one left their gas on while cooking a holiday meal and caused this explosion---I wouldn't know whether to be sympathetic with their loss or pissed off at them for the damage they caused---or both.
We'll get details as soon as we can and post them, busy right now trying to get all client services restored.

I doubt anyone could have resolved this faster than we did.
In this business, no matter how much you prepare for an issue, something will always go wrong eventually.
We have provided pretty good service for the past two years, I guess we were just due for something to go wrong.
Fortunately we got it resolved as quickly as we did, and that says alot...

Posted by BurstNET, 11-25-2010, 01:29 PM
Many are going thru file-system checks, during the boot-up process.
This includes many of our VPS nodes, which are still booting up in the file-system check process currently.
We are currently going thru all racks to verify all systems have power individually, and working thru reboot/support requests as quickly as we can.
Obviously we have hundreds and hundreds of these, so it takes time.
.
.
Posted by karimelm, 11-25-2010, 01:31 PM I appreciate the effort, I have no complaints for burst whatsoever so far.
Just for your information, i have a dedicated box and my remote reboot port states its online, i have rebooted the server but it just doesnt get up. Does this sound like something more is going on or not?
I kind of need to know or ill have to pull the plug on my advertising campaigns, this is starting to cost me too much
Posted by nkawit, 11-25-2010, 01:33 PM
So keep your pants on, if you still down, log a ticket.
Still, keep in mind, no matter how much redundancy you have, something WILL always blow it away. It happens, its unavoidable, all you can do is respond and resolve the issues at hand, which Burst was awesome at doing this time.
Last thought:
If your servers are still down and you have clients moaning, you should have redundancy, its that simple. Ask burst to help you set something up in their EU DC, or get one of their resellers to assist you. I am also more than willing to give you free advice, just pm me.
P.S.:
And yes, I still have client servers down which they are moaning about ... but their service is UP because we have implemented redundant measures incase something like this happens.

Well let's hope everything gets resolved soon.
Posted by 7x24-Vincent, 11-25-2010, 01:35 PM Some of our servers are up, some of them down.
I believe they do work hard, just waiting...

I would not reboot it further, as that could damage the filesystem, as it is probably in filesystem check mode. Make sure you have a support ticket in to us. It may take us a bit, but we will get to all tickets.

Ticket: 100-2464684
Posted by ODISHASERVER, 11-25-2010, 01:57 PM Hello BrustNet
Is there any chances of data loss on server due to this issue
Posted by infracom2005, 11-25-2010, 01:58 PM ticket
Ticket ID: 2458674
no reply
Posted by techjr, 11-25-2010, 01:58 PM Wow some people are impatient
Everyone might want to stop posting tickets here. When burst has to reply to probably hundreds or thousands of tickets due to there massive client base about the issue it is doubtful posting here will speed up the process any if at all.

Log your ticket and wait, Burst is attending to them, be patient.
And for everyone moaning, please keep things like this in mind for future, don't only get 1 server and pray that its redundant enough if you have very very serious business to conduct, get another and mirror the info over, that way if the first one blows up ... just switch your dns to the second. Think about the worst case scenario and how you can protect your clients from it.
Posted by isi123, 11-25-2010, 02:24 PM Oh God, this is taking longer than expected. Especially considering the servers are powered up.

From what we have been able to find out a large transformer seemed to blow a few blocks away from us, and cascaded . In our building we could hear the loud BANG (hence why we said explosion). We are not, however, under attack and normalcy is being returned as soon as possible. Tell your customers we are fine and in no danger.

Hopefully you guys can get home soon, those wives are going to be angry after spending 2-3 hours cooking everything and you aren't there. They don't care if the whole country is under attack, you better be there lol.

Posted by ASHCN, 11-25-2010, 04:02 PM We still have a server down and they have not responded to a ticket for 2 hours. We have been with them for over 8 years but were told sometime back they offer loyal clients nothing more than they offer new clients..this is when you should be as loyal clients don't jump ship Burst Net.
Posted by WebsiteIntegrations, 11-25-2010, 04:07 PM wow ... can you people not read? it was an explosion and caused a wide spread power failure. what did you think - they are hosted in a bomb shelter with their own power generation facility?! be patient people - i am sure there are alot of people giving up a holiday working hard to get your servers back up and running.... what would you rather them do - sit around responding to an influx of tickets or actually working on restoring your servers?
Posted by pablolagosm, 11-25-2010, 04:19 PM I put my ticket 3 hours ago, just when the power was back.
I informed them that one of my servers were still down after the outage.
The problem is they didn't read the ticket, just paste the whole story again and told me if my server was still down, reply the ticket.
I replied the SAME problem my ticket was originated and I am still waiting.
Posted by KMyers, 11-25-2010, 04:19 PM
First Priority - Restore Bulk Services (95% of customers I am sure)
Second Priority - Restore One-Offs (the people complaining in this forum + more)
Third Priority - Answer Tickets
Lastly - Close the thousands of duplicate tickets that people submit to find the status of existing tickets
Keep in mind, that the #2's will take the longest, maybe even 24 hours as Burst has A LOT of servers. Based on the fact that all of my stuff is now back online, they must be working on #2. My last box came online about 2 hours ago

Posted by WebsiteIntegrations, 11-25-2010, 04:45 PM yes because they purposely caused an explosion right? So by that regards if the explosion is their fault and you expect money then from your clients stand point it is YOUR fault - should they expect refunds from you?

Posted by WebsiteIntegrations, 11-25-2010, 04:48 PM actually i believe it is because of PPL Electric Utilities and whatever exploded. Obviously after a wide spread power failure they can not just go flip a switch and turn everything on at once - that would cause even more problems
Posted by FlipperHost, 11-25-2010, 04:53 PM I began having a negative opinion about Burst.net. Thats maybe because they have a lot of clients and once they get a blackout masses complain so that might be the reason.
Good Luck all.
Posted by sburns1992, 11-25-2010, 04:59 PM Since the power outage earlier my VPS has come back online but for some reason my Apache in cPanel/WHM won't start, I've never had this problem before until now. Quote:
Apache restart failed. Unable to load pid from pid file and no httpd process found in process list.
If apache restart reported success but it failed soon after, it may be caused by oddities with mod_ssl.
You should run /scripts/ssl_crt_status as part of your troubleshooting process. Pass it --help for more details.
Also be sure to examine apache's variouse log files.

Posted by F-DNS, 11-25-2010, 05:04 PM For those moaning about no ticket updates and posting ticket numbers here, think about what you actually want. You do not want a ticket response, you want your server up. So, do you want 10 of the technicians sitting at their desks responding to your tickets saying "the other 10 technicians are working as fast as they can", or do you want 19 technicians working on the servers, and 1 giving a cut-and-paste response so that you do at least know that something is being done?
Some servers - those with big file systems and VPS nodes for example - will take longer to come back up.
You're in a queue - live with it. And updating tickets constantly generally bumps the tickets to the bottom of the queue so the Burst guys can deal with the oldest first.

We are one of the major retailers in the Russian-speaking space, and we have many servers in bustnet, but they do nothing to solve the problem for us is a big expense in money, time, in clients' trust in us. I do not write from personal considerations, but from the fact that not a single server for 7 hours does not work, and it is not refutable fact.

If your car breaks down do you phone work and say you won't be in today and sit at home while it's being repaired, do you use the spare car you have at home, or do you hire a car temporarily? It's the same situation.

This is particularly true in apartment buildings where UK building regulations prevent the use of gas cookers unless the building can withstand an explosive force of 5PSI after a gas leak blew out the entire side of an block of flats in London (Ronan Point) in 1968.

Something to consider which I am sure has been posted already, if you bump your tickets they will take LONGER to respond to. A lot of company's will go with the oldest tickets first and work there way to the newer tickets unless its hardware failure or major issues. Each time you bump the ticket and ask for another reply your ticket goes back to the bottom.

Posted by BurstNET_CSM, 11-25-2010, 06:54 PM People (and especially Zagrebin),
Almost every staff member is in the office (And has been since the issue occurred). Many of us had this Holiday off and were planning to host family and friends today (Which usually involves cooking a 20+ pound turkey).
But we are all still here because we know how important your data and time is. It *IS* more important than ours (Which is why we're all here and not at home on this national holiday).
However, posting your tickets here and screaming for help (And posting MULTIPLE tickets) will not help this situation, and will, in fact, only delay us in trying to help you. We're NOT leaving here until the issues are resolved.
We ask that you please bear with us as we get to the problems and resolve them.
Posted by F-DNS, 11-25-2010, 06:55 PM
The above is a fair guess for any datacenter facing recovery from a total power-out, it's not specific to Burst.

I understand you perfectly, but 10 hours downtime is something not normal, you can tell ~ recovery time, because every client asks us every hour, " - but when it all back?"

Posting here makes everyone else aware of the issue but unfortunately we are unable to resolve any form of dataloss or issues that burstnet has.
Maybe this thread should be closed? Everyone has established that they have gone offline but this thread also should not be used as a support channel unless burst wish's to post updates.

Posted by JavaV, 11-25-2010, 09:49 PM I'm surprised to see people still offline. We had most of our servers back within less than 2 hours after the incident. I don't know if thats luck or what, but I'm sure everyone at BurstNet is working very hard to bring everything back up. They always seem very professional in this matter, even after they are kicked to the ground.

Posted by pubcrawler, 11-25-2010, 11:16 PM I went looking about this big explosion and find nothing anywhere in the media. Yep, it's Thanksgiving and the media probably has been at home all day, but not even a one liner.
Twitter folks barely made a mention of it --- maybe two mentions. All the rest (and not many) were from hosting folks telling their customers of the Burst failure.
Any real data center of Burst's size should be on multiple grids for redundancy. Seems like it is not and seems like the generator routine failed.
Ugly situation.
Burst keeps making news for outages. Instead of expanding abroad Burst needs to look at it's existing operations and how to implement additional redundancy and plans to survive semi-common stuff.
Anyone renting or colo'ing space at Burst needs a reality check and a plan to actively replicate their data elsewhere and a routine to flip the traffic over to another location.

Posted by BurstNET_CSM, 11-26-2010, 12:21 AM At this point the vast majority of Dedicated servers and Vservers are back online.
I do stress that if you made a ticket about a server that is back up, PLEASE close the ticket. It would be a HUGE help.
There are several Vservers that suffered a catastrophic failure. Our engineers are working non-stop to bring them back online but we have no eta at this point.
As far as the "Explosion": I said eariler that Explosion may have been too strong a word. We heard a very large BANG outside of our building and then the power dropped. The people in the office rightly thought "explosion" but it was a transformer up the street that went, and that caused a rolling blackout through several other transformers that ultimately rolled back to the main grid.
We thank everyone for working with us through this.
Posted by UpdownUp, 11-26-2010, 12:26 AM Can you please help get mine back up?
(i.e) This ticket is still needing attention:
Ticket ID: 2468126
FYI:
vePortal is back up, but my sites are down and vePortal password doesn't work, so this account might be part of the catastrophic failure.
Thank you.

Yes, it is very terrible, I do really understand, we have somehow to the village (in the quarter) and blew the transformer, it is very incredible and powerful, even the sky above the village of St. blue, because, supposedly some kind of alien beings sit
Posted by borna, 11-26-2010, 12:34 AM Would you please let us now the status about rest of those servers are still down?
We are seriously concern about it and there isn't any obvious response after 14 hours.

Ticket ID: 2459498
Posted by jstand1, 11-26-2010, 12:49 AM My server just came back up- pretty much 13 hours of downtime for me. Unless the make-good is good enough, for me this is pretty much the straw (or a ton of bricks) that breaks the camel's back.
Posted by pubcrawler, 11-26-2010, 12:52 AM I think Burst does an admirable job of trying to inform customers. But it still isn't enough.
What good are battery banks and generators if they can't pick up the load in case of a power provider failure? They are expensive toys to impress folks and nothing more as proven in this incident.
Get secondary grid power to Burst's Scranton data center and start running normal tests of the generator and transfer switches - regularly. Then build redundant backup for that also.
This stuff isn't very complicated. Hospitals figures this out a long time ago.
When a provider has an incident like this it basically indicates their facility isn't a serious one. That in the case of a true major incident they aren't the place to be. Big businesses and those requiring 24x7x365 operations can't logically house their gear in such a facility.
The Planet explosions you referred to techjr, were two incidents both within their Houston datacenter. Actually, were within the electric transformers within the building and in one it blew three (assuming) block walls out in the process.
Obviously, the Houston data center they operated had issues. I think it was a facility added via acquisition. Same facility had other outages due to routing/backhaul to Dallas. Lots of problems there. Then again, I would never put a server in a town known for being smashed by hurricanes
Hopefully, Burst gets the message to get their operation in order before people start noting to avoid them entirely.

Posted by gEmnet, 11-26-2010, 04:47 AM Well, as said..
VPS Downtime: Since 9.24 am 'til 9.49 am - Less of an hour
Dedicated servers took a bit longer but for sure all the technician were and are still working to fix all the troubles. Mind that Burst.net is not a small hosting that means many servers to reboot/fix or replace.
What I said to my clients? A bit of white lies but all of them understood and now are happy having their website online again.
Advices? Just a bit of patience, do not post/double/triple post tickets as it will create just a bit of confusion.

Posted by stubrud, 11-26-2010, 05:15 AM be pations people, with a suddenly power outage hardware may fail. i bet they have enough to do at burst at the moment, replaceing hardware,getting vps and servers up. and many servers do go into filecheck and that could take hours. people complaint that burst dont answer ticket? it take time to answer 1-2000 tickets when staff is working on servers.
all users that have their servers or vps online close your tickets.
people complaining about their generator failed? that could happen to all that use generator, even hospitals and it does happends there to.
remember planet outage took 11 days to get everyone back online. i do believe burst doing a great job on this issue.

Posted by DMEHosting, 11-26-2010, 09:40 AM Kind of funny seeing people compare hospitals to a datacenter, there is no comparison. Of course a hospital will have 100% uptime (or close to it) with power. They draw from multiple power sub-stations and have millions in backup generator infrastructure...people's LIVES depend on it. A datacenter will never match that kind of infrastructure since they do not get government funds to assist in such large constructions. And if a datacenter does have a similar infrastructure, then the pricing normally reflects that (rackspace.com).
Having a 1-24 hour downtime with burstnet in 1-2 years is pretty good for me, knowing that their prices start at $49.95/mo for a server.

Having a 1-24 hour downtime with burstnet in 1-2 years is pretty good for me, knowing that their prices start at $49.95/mo for a server.
The main point in not bashing burst is that single fed power IS going to go down eventually. when it does its going to be total chaos. Customers on single fed power with single power supply servers should plan from a business perspective to suffer a full day or multi day outage from time to time no matter what provider they are with. Its happened and will continue to happen at all providers. Whether its once every 3 or 5 years or some other time will depend on the redundancy within the single fed system and how well maintained it is as well how old it is. Maintenance must occur as well and sometimes an outage will come from a breaker replacement. Just plan for it though in your business planning and dont bash a provider if that is all you have paid for. They are providing a service at a price and as you have mentioned its a bit more expensive to get the better redundancy but at least there is a choice to take it or not. the last section of this is not aimed at you at all - just general posting.

This has not been a "21 hour" issue.
In fact, this issue was resolved in pretty darn fast speed, considering the explosive cause of the issue.
Service was restored within an hour on 90%+ of client services affected.
The remainder had to go thru one by one to check, which is a time consuming process.
The only remaining issues in general are some VPS nodes which are being rebuilt, and data recovery attempts in process.

Are you still on generator or did they get utility power back yet? Do you know what the casue of the explosion was?
Not super critical questions but I'm just curious as we had a very similar situation here 2 weeks ago.

We had both primary power and generator power restored within an hour.
Explosion was a transformer bank, unknown cause, that took out power all the way back to the sub-station, taking out power to half our city.

Thanks
Posted by pubcrawler, 11-26-2010, 04:02 PM The Planet was down back then because a transformer blew up inside their datacenter.
The generator sat there ready to power things but the code/fire departments disallowed them to operate on generator I suspect in fear of having a 2nd explosion on site.
Anyone claiming to have a real datacenter should have duplication at minimum - preferably three different systems for everything. Three different grid pulls, three different generators, three different transformers and transfer equipment. Sounds exotic, but it isn't. Hospitals aren't some exotic species. How many companies including hospitals outsource their data facilities to a place like Burst? Plenty.
This brings to light the multiple single points of failure at these discount facilities. The likelihood of a single grid run going down is fairly high. At least 2-3 times per year you should expect.
I don't understand why they couldn't run their facility from the generator in place.
Uptime for November from their site: 99.701% 01hr 50min downtime. Guess they don't count the DDOS outages
"In a very rare case of utility outage, our Cummins 250KW & Detroit Diesel 580KW & 675KW deisel generators start automatically, taking over for the UPS systems and supplying all necessary power for the facility. The generators interface to the power grids thru Asco 7000 & RussElectric RTBD automatic transfer panels. With multiple fuel tanks on-site, the generators are capable of running without refueling for approximately 48 hours."
Looks like they have three big generators, but something failed to work.
Why is this a big deal? Well my local newspaper's website failed to load properly - due to an included ad element being housed at Burst. Many other things failed for other folks not directly related to Burst.
"The company has experienced exceptional growth and currently hosts 5000+ dedicated servers and co-located machines, 5000+ Virtual Private Servers (VPS), and millions of websites."
Millions of websites likely went offlineQuote:
Again, good job to both you and your power company on getting the issues resolved so quickly. These things happen to everyone. The Planet was down for DAYS a few years ago because of a transformer issue.

STOP BLOODY WHINING. Does this look like BurstNET's support desk? They had a major failure and, surprisingly (for me) they handled it fairly well considering my experiences with them.
I've done support for quite some time and I can tell you right how they aren't prioritizing on the whiny idiots with a single down VPS server. Your worth maybe $10/mo net revenue. It would be irresponsible to waste resources on fixing your issues when they have dedicated server clients neting them several times that down. Your not the most important client to them; not by a long shot.
From the post I can also tell that your sites aren't really that important to you either. If you can't take a day or two of downtime then the losses are your problem because you failed to have an acceptable level of redundancy. Your at a budget provider? What did you expect a team of dedicated technicians to work on your issue non-stop until it's up? Hell, even one dedicated technician? Well, you simple don't pay enough to merit a minute or two of tech time.
Hell, the stuff I consider unimportant has more redundancy than that.
Lesson: If you don't cover your own back your going to get hit from behind.
Posted by BurstNET, 11-26-2010, 04:56 PM
Good job. But I wouldn't consider it resolved until all servers are back. I'm, of course, in the last 10%.
My box is a $200/mo, Q9550, 8Gb Dedicated Server. It is a quite real one and it is not pinging.
All dedicated servers were brought online by last evening at latest, those that did not automatically come right back up after power restoration, that we were aware of being down.
Yours may have slipped thru the cracks, or assumed up due to past firewall issues blocking monitoring.
PM me your ticket #, and I'll have it checked on ASAP.

You consider that to = "online", even now I still cannot use the account.
Open a new support ticket for login details then, and our support team will gladly assist you.
We've done everything we needed to do for you at this point, and complaining here is not accomplishing anything for you.

My account has NOT been recovered (cannot login) and I do have a back-up, so the solution would be to take 2 minutes and create the new account.

1a) My service has been either 100% down and / or 100% unusable for over 30 hours.
1b) <edit: anger management> </ edit: anger management>
2) If I open the new ticket, then there is the risk of ending up with another round of endless waiting and set-backs.
3) The new ticket is not yet opened.
4) I will return in ~4 hours to see if my account is finally usable.

Your account was set up fresh, we just managed to retain the same IP addresses for you.
Our CSM just mis-worded how we were going to do this.
Setting it up on a different node would not have accomplished that, and would have been a longer delay, as we would have had to adjust alot more things internally on our end, rather than doing it how we did it---the proper way (and the dire way, in case people are using previously assigned IPs directly or for nameservers).

I have a shared hosting account on yours (registered for my friend to try blogging, before and until now). You seem a great shared hosting provider. Congrats!In general, their UK-based service is the same with US-based one, from front-end website to easy-to-confuse-but-ok support system (US and UK use the same support.burst.net). Pinging from US to UK is fast. I dont know which review you want to look at them? Before this explosion, everyone ask me about cheap-reliable service, I refer his/her to Burst.

Somewhere in an old post, Burst.net says "we work with customers who request to move their account." Has that policy official changed?

Has that policy official changed?I cannot say if that policy has changed and if there are issues with the node, I would not blame you for wanting to be moved. However I can pretty much say that the Burst Support Team will be taxed over the next few weeks, so I would advise you to put it off until the clean-up has finished.
In fact, it may be wise to hold off all non-urgent issues for about a week or so to allow Burst some time to catch up and get back into the normal routine.
I honestly understand that this whole event has been frustrating for some and granted I had all of my boxes and VPS's fully restored within an hour, I do sympathise with all of Burst's customers. I do wish I could help, I would even volunteer my time to help restore services if I were in the area (I dont think they have any remote locations in Miami

If you are one of the biggest retailers in Russia, and you have a budget of tens of thousands of dollars, why are you not hosted at a Russian data center instead of subjecting your users to a trip around the world to get at a budget server(s)?

It is fine using Burst, but you would (and should) have multiple servers in multiple datacenters if you are a large online company. Youy should also use Load Balancing and Failover.

Over 24 hours ago their CS Manager Colin said (in a ticket)
"Our engineers are presently working on the server your vps was housed on. We have no ETA for when or if it will be back online. If you have your own backup*, we can move your VPS to a new vserver and you can upload the backup there, rather than wait for an update.
Please let us know how you would like to proceed."
- I was offered something, and I'm getting BS from you for pointing out the offer from Burst was not upheld.
Do you have any more "constructive criticism", Mr plumsauce?

Posted by BurstNET_CSM, 11-27-2010, 07:40 AM Update: All functionality has been restored. A handful of Vservers are still being looked into, and their owners have been notified. If you are still having an issue, please create a NEW support ticket, as we have mass-closed many tickets pertaining to the outage due to duplicate and triplicate submissions.
Thank you so much for your understanding during this unforeseen issue.
Posted by lovelycesar, 11-27-2010, 07:51 AM
All recovery procedures have been exhausted. Unfortunately, our engineers were unable to retrieve data from your Vserver (VEID 68xxx). Your Vserver is back up and running, and your original VEID and IP Addresses should be restored as well as the original OS at the time you ordered. At this point, our hope is that you can rely on any backups you were able to make via the VePortal backup interface or other means. If you have trouble restoring VePortal backups, please open a support ticket. Though we cannot guarantee full (or even partial) data restoration, we will work to the limit of our abilities.
For more information on our data recovery and backup policy, please see:

On the other hand, if the loss of power is combined with any kind of power surge (which your servers shouldn't be subjected to at any decent facility as they will be behind a double conversion UPS) can destroy pretty much any component.

No again (sorry) - It can take 24 hours, or even 3 days, to attempt to recover a damaged file system. There are plenty of similar threads, both here and on other VPS companies' own forums, showing how long it can take to try to recover a node.

Posted by BurstNET_CSM, 11-27-2010, 10:58 AM Hello again all,
As I stated, if you are still having any issue please create a NEW ticket. Also, please do NOT post tickets here or ask for support here. This thread is simply to inform you of the status.
We are very upset over the outage and the subsequent problems that occurred. In all only a handful of servers were affected out of our tens of thousands of servers and services. I know this is of little consequence to those handful that were affected.
Infracom has brought up one thing I would like to relay: If this experience has led you to move your services to another provider, you still must cancel your service with us via the usual method. We are hoping to work with everyone affected to meet their needs as best as possible, but when things like this happen, it's generally the rule that some people will move elsewhere.
Thanks.

Whats wrong with my ticket thats opened? whats the excuse for not answering it? you know i dont ask for much but it would be nice for a simple update.
Again my vps 184.82.100.16 is still down and i have had no reponse.
I now "you get what you pay for" but just something to go on would be nice.

As I stated, if you are still having any issue please create a NEW ticket. Also, please do NOT post tickets here or ask for support here. This thread is simply to inform you of the status.
We are very upset over the outage and the subsequent problems that occurred. In all only a handful of servers were affected out of our tens of thousands of servers and services. I know this is of little consequence to those handful that were affected.
Infracom has brought up one thing I would like to relay: If this experience has led you to move your services to another provider, you still must cancel your service with us via the usual method. We are hoping to work with everyone affected to meet their needs as best as possible, but when things like this happen, it's generally the rule that some people will move elsewhere.
Thanks.
(There are lot's of questions...)
What's been done for this not happen anymore?
Few questions come to mind I really like some information:
Did the ups worked?
(Why not?)
Did the generator and it's backup worked?
(Why not?) (What's been done to fix this?)
What really happen that lead to the power failure?
(in the dc?)
Why did the backbone/routes PCCwbtn failed right after the power came backup?
Sorry if this is been asked in public but I fell that another support ticket about this is not ideal for some that are still facing problems.

The second part about not replying to tickets has also been answered in this thread already.

It is not feasible for us to even backup all the VPS nodes we have in production, due to sheer storage capacity involved, quantity of nodes, as well as pricing charged not allowing for such additional operating expense either. We are working on an external backup system for the VPS nodes, however, this is for own own insurance/loss prevention desires, and not something we plan on listing as in place/available. Just a way for us to restore systems and keep client loss to a minimum for our own needs...in the event of a node failing.

WHT is not the BurstNET support system, and we will not handle support thru WHT. Either open a ticket with us, or if you have done so already, you will have to wait for a response back to that ticket. If you have not gotten a response back to a ticket you opened, confirm it is still open, maybe even respond back to same ticket stating you are still waiting for a respond---but you need to wait until we respond via that method. Obviously, we are quite overloaded and overworked right now with the issue at hand, and doing our best to attend to all inquiries as quickly as possible. Expecting instant responses during such a heavy ticket load period, is not reasonable/feasible, and you will have to be patient while we get thru them all. We are here and working on all inquiries, and working on the backend to get any affected services operational that are still affected.
Complaining on WHT, and asking for support here though...will NOT get anything done faster for you.

Official information will be released next week on our own forums.
But in short: Transformer explosion took out power to half of our city all the way back to the power substation. UPS systems kicked in and held the load fine, until generators came online. One of our larger generators failed, due to battery issues. Batteries and charging equipment are/were tested at regular intervals, and failed since last test. These failures can be instantaneous, and not gradual, so no matter how often tests are performed, no preparation/prevention is fool-proof. UPS systems dropped the load when batteries ran out, before we could repair generator issue. Generator issue was repaired and brought online, and a few moments later primary power also was restored to facility. Routers had to reboot, and BGP sessions were down, hence why you had routes issues probably. Entire issue occurred in approximately one hour timeframe. Bringing up the client services that did not come back online automatically ( < 10% of overall service in facility), is what took the time...as we had to go thru manually and check each one. Several systems were damaged during the issue, including a handful of VPS nodes, and that is the clientele affected the longest, and pretty much the individuals still complaining here. Most clients were back up and running within an hour of the issue occurring. Overall, we feel we did an awesome job getting everything back online, and as rapidly as we did.
No matter how much prevention/redundancy is in place, things can still fail, it happens. Unfortunately, even with recovery speed we had, some things are not instantaneous for service recovery, and especially VPS nodes with huge data storage space, can be problematic to get back online right aways.
What are we doing about it?
On Friday we already ordered battery monitoring/alarm gear for these generator systems, and are working out a dual battery starter system to put in place as well ASAP.

(normally it's easier to fix and UPS is the most trouble)
I know that raid (And busy's systems) are the most afected in these's scenario.
Any way thanks for the update, thanks for all the hard work doned to solve this in a ultra fast manner
You guys need a rest, I'm sure it's been a busy holiday.
(an important holiday)
Thanks for the update I fell secure from your feedback
Posted by VoidX, 11-28-2010, 12:00 AM You guys are pathetic, learn to help the BurstNET guys, not cause more issues for them. They're already in a bad situation.

Exactly how, may I ask?
!!!!!!!!!!
To whom it may concern:
You have great prices. (period)
- This (below) is after suffering a massive data loss
Completely handicapped, w/ something outside of my control, after ~60+ HOURS! (2471190)
Server / Node VERY Slow:
The server is currently amazingly Slow & Massively Overloaded!
Loading a sql file at the command line which would normally take < 20 seconds, for this size file, is taking OVER 4 MINUTES.
Wow, just wow...
Posted by MattS, 11-28-2010, 02:47 AM A ticket would have helped you out more efficiently. If they haven't replied yet, be patient and don't "bump" it otherwise it'll take longer (they do the oldest first).
It's also the weekend of a holiday which means response times are going to be slower than normal.

Posted by UpdownUp, 11-28-2010, 03:16 AM The 2.5 hour response time may have led to unfortunate timing on my part.
This is still 100% true:
Loading a sql file at the command line which would normally take < 20 seconds, for this size file, is (was) taking OVER 4 MINUTES.My most recent downloaded backup (from the trashed VPS) was ~7 days old, and I have had a severe loss of important work done this week.Quote:

I am very sorry about any trouble I may have caused this year. Any detailed look at the facts would support the view that I have had quite a 'Burst' of bad luck w/ things that are out of my control
(i.e. Early this year / My first month: 3 hard drives fail on a single server / node @ the same time!)

>> After all the recent time wasted and severe data loss, I cannot afford more set-backs.
This holiday season (and beyond), please do not terminate my accounts.
Thank you.

After this ticket my VPS had 0 downtime and never was not responsive again.
For the query, I can tell you that sometime is our in-home connection too much slow. Running a MySQL via SSH doesn't mean that we have 100% control of the remote-connected computer, have you ever noticed sometime that you write something and it appear on screen after some seconds? Well, this is not exactly a problem on the server but it can be our connection too much busy, also to manage a simple SSH connection.
Without counting that a bad or a complete misconfiguration of a VPS/Dedicated server can bring to the final user poor performances...
Hosting is a too much complicated matter, many people think to buy a budget VPS plan to become expert but it's not like this and look, am not defending Burst.net it's just that sometime stress, nervous moments and so on can make us irritable but hey! Cheer up! Calm down every body, solutions are right there... for all of us!
Yes, for Customers and also for Burst.net :-)
Obviously the answer is: PATIENCE!

network problem!
Posted by BurstNET, 11-28-2010, 03:28 PM We are not currently having an network problem on our network itself.
We are not down, or having packet loss on our network itself.
The issue appears to be at the PCCW backbone hop prior to reaching our network.
That affects clients coming on that route specifically.
We are looking into the issue, and will route around it need be.

Posted by toma1708, 11-28-2010, 03:41 PM Hello,
Not really want to bring this here but ticket 2470279 remained unanswered for more than 24 hours and the server is also down fore more than 24 hours due to hardware issues. No answer, no ETA, this is not the kind of service to receive from your company, it never happened before so I am somehow worried.

Hello,
All recovery procedures have been exhausted. Unfortunately, our engineers were unable to retrieve data from your Vserver (VEID 70057). Your Vserver is back up and running, and your original VEID and IP Addresses should be restored as well as the original OS at the time you ordered. At this point, our hope is that you can rely on any backups you were able to make via the VePortal backup interface or other means. If you have trouble restoring VePortal backups, please open a support ticket. Though we cannot guarantee full (or even partial) data restoration, we will work to the limit of our abilities.
For more information on our data recovery and backup policy, please see:
Posted by lilrichieh, 11-29-2010, 06:27 AM I love how this thread has turned into burnet customer service department, support desk, and billing portal this is a forum to talk about the outage and for burst to update us, if you have lost data that is your fault, these servers are not managed and burst have tried everything they can try you should of backed up offsite if the data was that important.
OPEN A TICKET WITH BURST NET!!!!!!!

I also rely too much on some pseudo-backup facilities but the only reliable way to make a backup is to use yes the provided facilities (if any) then downloading the backups in our computer or using some other online resources.
We cannot blame no one for data loss but ourself.

Posted by basketmen, 11-29-2010, 01:38 PM Hi guys, just want to found out how to solved this or if anyone get same problem : the server's internet access are slower after the explosion for some/all sites, it is definitely slower when i try download files from ftp now (it is really slow now, before the averages are 200KBps, but now its only 11-16KBps).
Already test using host-tracker.com too its slower too (for example before the result for Scranton, PA server too is about 1,000-2,000 KB/sec, but in current result now its only 100-200 KB/sec)
some settings maybe changed after the explosion for the sites, we still dont change anything until the explosion 3-4 days ago
i am using a dedicated server, with addon 1GBPS Port $20/month
wget testing from ssh root are fast, here are the resultQuote:
root@server1 [~]# wget ftp://ftp2.nl.freebsd.org/speedtest/1000mb.bin
--2010-11-29 23:43:38-- ftp://ftp2.nl.freebsd.org/speedtest/1000mb.bin

but if i try to cd to one of account first for example /home/accountname (the account name are accountname, the domain are domain.com), its very slow, here are the resultQuote:

again, this just happened few days a go after the explosion, and nothing we changed before in the sites/whm/ssh
please share what can be causing this or how to fix it by my self from whm or ssh maybe, its very long time to waiting they replied ticket before (about 48 hours last time even we ordered Fully Managed Service $49.95 too), its looks like they are very busy right now after this accident few days ago

You should run wget with the "-O /dev/null" argument to rule out your server's hard drive being overloaded.

Me and my users are still insist after the explotion our sites are feel slower, maybe because now we are using slower port after that explotion, or the burstnet internet access are slower now after that explotion? if yes i hope its temporary, please make it same as fast as before the explotion
here are prove about it using host-tracker.com history result
The result today, the averages from Scranton datacenter too and other only about 60-400 KB/sec
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...ackertoday.jpg
The results before the explotion, at November 14, 2010, the averages from Scranton datacenter too and other like you can see about 1000-3000 KB/sec, its about 5-10 times faster more than now
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...mber142010.jpg
you can see the real url in the ticket, or i will give you pm if needed
i check burst.net site it self are slower too now after the explotion, the averages from Scranton datacenter too and other only about 300-500 KB/sec, before the averages from Scranton datacenter its about 1000-3000 KB/sec too
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...rstnetsite.jpg
result link : http://host-tracker.com/check_res_ajx/6070337-0/

Posted by powergo, 11-30-2010, 12:30 PM Now burst vps slow and vps control panel sloooooooooow, too bad.
Posted by BurstNET, 11-30-2010, 01:04 PM This is NOT BurstNET technical support dept.
Open a support ticket and/or wait for the one you have open already to be handled.
Delays are mostly resolved at this point, so the response times should be reasonable.
