And... I wanted to do a smooth/controlled migration but one of the 3 SSDs on the current server disagreed:

Sep 19 05:32:37 sd-115353 smartd[687]: Device: /dev/sdc [SAT], FAILED SMART self-check. BACK UP DATA NOW!
Sep 19 05:32:37 sd-115353 smartd[687]: Device: /dev/sdc [SAT], Failed SMART usage Attribute: 173 Wear_Leveling_Count.


And my server hosting services are having a promotion right now.

Currently: Intel® Xeon E3 1245v5 / 32 GB / 3 x 250 GB SSD / 300 Mbit/sec

For -11% on the monthly cost -- and no setup fee, assuming I sign up for 3 years -- I could upgrade to:

Possibly: Intel® Xeon E3 1245v5 / 64 GB / 3 x 500 GB SSD / 300 Mbit/sec

Considering my options...

Julien

Sounds like a great option to go for some more backend power!
I don‘t know about storage limitations, especially due to covers (hey you still have 7 cover mails from me waiting in your mailbox for almost three months now! :lol: ), but the chance to get some more RAM does sound great!

Cheers,
Markus

The 3-year commitment offer was a limited offer...

I ordered the upgraded server, and might use some of the savings to also purchase a fail-over IP.

This way, at the next server upgrade, the public IP won't have to change again!

False start.

The new server they assigned to me has the 3rd SSD in an even worse state (they are all nearly 5 years old in usage!).

Jumping to yet-another-server.

... just received the 2nd server!

RAM memtest86+ test PASS.
Extended offline SMART test on all 3 SSDs test PASS.

Now the long migration starts.

Hoping to get everything done within 3 weeks.

Are you expecting any downtime or performance issues during the migration?

Usually ~1 day at the very end when all systems re-converge.

Been juggling with work, travels and other unexpected things and I don't think the migration will happen in October, hopefully in November!

So far the new server has Email and Web servers up and running: http://sd-103051.dedibox.fr/

I'm slowly (painfully?) learning the differences between Debian 10 and 12, as well as PHP 5.6.40 and 8.2.

First mini-websites went OK with PHP 8.2 but I'm more concerned about LDDb (major code rework) and the forum -- a very old phpBB version that will NOT run on a newer PHP and will require a full upgrade.

Hopefully before Xmas :-)

Julien
