[MyW] Ryzen migration initiated !

Just received this email from MyW

Very exciting news :smiley:


Dear clients,

We've initiated the migration to Ryzen servers, this features NVMe, Ryzen 3900X and 128 GB DDR4.


We're currently migrating the shared accounts, the next accounts should be reseller accounts.


Amazing Specs, thanks @MikePT

Good luck !

    Be ready to recompile everything you compiled with -march=native flag.

    Can you explain?

  • Is myw.pt related to webhorizon? cause I got a similar email from webhorizon.

    If software is compiled with -march=native flag, the binary contains instructions specific to a particular CPU. If the CPU is changed (either upgrade or downgrade), the binary would trigger "illegal instruction" error.
    Normally, you use -march=native to gain performance, but sacrifice portability.

  • I didn't get this email yet, which location is this for?

    Not sure how DirectAdmin handles with it to be honest. This was a server migration to better hardware, I assume it'd compile with the proper flags for Ryzens?

    For DE - if you didn't receive the email then you probably don't have a hosting account in the DE location, although, you may order one now, there's still stock, and it'll be provisioned in the new server... :D

    Oh right I am in LA, is that already on Ryzen or will the migration on that be later? thanks in any case. It's already such a great service that I've recommended to other friends and small businesses <3

    Migration has been completed. :D

    Clients will be notified shortly - double checking everything in my end.

    Hey mate,

    Prices in LA for Ryzen are still a bit too high, but I'll see our options there very soon as well!

    Thank you for the kind words! <3

    I don't think that @MikePT compiles his own binaries, which would be a massive effort anyway.

  • server ip is changed right?
    i.e. if we use A record, we need to use new ip right?

    Thanks for helping each other guys.

    All set now.

    Old server is being deactivated.

    Thank you, wde1, for serving us so well for so long.

    We love you, wde1.

    BTW I mentioned it's a Ryzen 3900x, it's a 3900 though, my apologies. :P

    Thanks, God, I managed to transfer my latest data from the old server to the new server before it was trashed. The auto migration to Ryzen servers was taken from backup data day before. I have two clients almost lost their students' exam results that were conducted during the migration period (around 6 hour gaps).

    The new server is really powerful. The pages load much faster now.

  • Too bad the announcement is not "We are migrating to EPYC" an actual server CPU. But I guess that for the price... a Desktop CPU is acceptable.

  • @MikePT after the migration, all our websites are down and all of our websites using the below NS,
    dns1.wndp.pt
    dns2.wndp.pt

    My domain is up using the very same NS:

    dns1.wndp.pt
    dns2.wndp.pt

    It's more than acceptable, and it handles the server tasks just fine!

    Indeed, the backup generation took a while, nothing we can do there, tried to speed it up as much as we could!

    One thing you could try (for LA maybe) is to do your initial sync via backup/restore, but use multiple rsync's for diffs. As often as necessary, but one targeted rsync right before the cutover, immediately followed by one after the original server is quiesced (db/servers shut down is easiest). The preceding rsyncs will do the heavy lifting, and the quick one after services are offline will ensure a consistent database and user data copy with anything that changed in the last minutes/hours.

    In my former life I did over a thousand such migrations, testing and moving enterprise systems from physical to virtual.

  • At least no one hosts anything important, because the advance notice, was so short, that anyone who may have to update anything externally, could barely make it :)

    I guess you get what you pay for.

    Not really. Miguel mentioned about the Ryzen migration more than 6 months ago
