Run lspci and post the output.
[root@ss ~]# lspci
-bash: lspci: command not found
[root@ss ~]#
just found this: nano /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING="yes"
GATEWAYDEV="venet0"
NETWORKING_IPV6="yes"
IPV6_DEFAULTDEV="venet0"
HOSTNAME="gs.xxxxxx"
i think its a vps
venet0 is the network interface inside an OpenVZ container as far as I'm aware.
What us the output of "ifconfig"?
i made a ticket asking why i am on vps... answer was this:
As this is mistaken many times, all of our OS's are virtualization ready. This means that all OS's have OpenVZ kernel. This will be solved once you will install a different OS that is not virtualization optimised. This is not a VPS.
Have you tried this?
What is the provider by the way?
i havent tried yet. but i asked to load windows 2008 iso, as i have license to install.
provider: noc4hosts / e-glid
The fact it's venet0 screams being an OVZ vps.
Francisco
Thats what i said to provider. but he says its not.
I thought noc4hosts finally got folded back into hivelocity. At least the domain points there. They used to be separate as noc4hosts was the bargain division.
This is what I would call bullshit, fyi.
Also, http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1072584
i have already requested for refund asap.
Bad luck, e-glid got a long thread all WHT
I also call that BS, why would you install the OpenVZ kernel if you are not going to create VM's. That is utter crap.
False advertising much?
Don't need to call BS, it is BS, the host node doesn't use /dev/simfs, it uses native devices for storage, the only way you get /dev/simfs is inside a VPS
Running a Dedicated within a VPS container is actually not a bad thing if you know what you're doing. We have plenty of clients that run their dedicated server within an OpenVZ container. There are several perfectly good reasons to do this.
However, if you purchase a dedicated with VPS capability, you should have full access to the host node.
For OpenVZ, the easiest way to see if you are on a VPS node or container is to just do
cat /etc/grub.conf
Look at the mounts and you'll know.
If you are on the "host node that is ready for VPS", you should also be able to issue the command:
vzlist
or for Xen
xm list
did that and got this:
cat: /etc/grub.conf: No such file or directory
If you are not using RHEL, Centos/Fedora, that is ok. Debian/Ubuntu don't use that.
Check /boot by running this at the command line.
ls -la /boot
If /boot is empty (you only see the 2 dots and the single dot) then you are on an OpenVZ type VPS and not on the VZ Host node.
That check won't work for Xen though.
i am on centos
got this output:
[root@ss ~]# ls -la /boot
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 11 15:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Aug 11 01:13 ..
I'd ask for a refund...unfortunately, that's a VPS container and not the VPS Host Node.
No grub.conf AND no /boot kernels (vmlinuz, initrd) in /boot...you can't boot a CENTOS dedicated server without it.
i already asked for refund yesterday also opened a paypal dispute.
Shouldn't have done both at the same time. Can't refund when funds are tied up in a dispute.
Best bet would be to cancel the dispute and wait to see if you get the refund first.
Huh no...if you cancel the dispute now, you will not be able to open it. You just have to wait on paypal.
Someone that gives a VPS instead of a Dedi, can you expect a refund
Probably no, you will lose the dispute since it is over virtual/digital service, unless you are one of many at the same time placing a dispute, then PayPal might side with you, but rare.
Fortuntaely, the provider in question, almost every customer is hitting dispute simultaneously
In my experience, you can call up PayPal and speak with a representative in the disputes department. When you do, you have a much greater chance at getting the service you deserve.
