Hardware Upgrades
So over the last few weeks i've been busy upgrading,building,configuring and installing a whole bunch of stuff so let's break it all down =)
Main Server
-Added 2 SSD's in raid 1 and cloned over the os and everything to the raid from a single M.2. This means if a drive dies the server will still work just fine
-Replaced the CPU IHS, It was already a delidded cpu with liquid metal now it has a aftermarket ihs. So it runs slightly cooler now (important especially during peak times)
New Servers
2 New Servers, One is a dedicated server for Nazy's Testing Grounds (Been hosting it on my main rig Until now) and is running Linux. The other is the Legacy Server. When a17 drops i'll transfer the current A16 server to the new server so i can let donators play the old servers and it lets me maintain the webmap so you can always feed your nostalgia
New Network Gear
-New server grade network switch. Because of the new servers i needed more rj45 ports to connect everything. This also lets me expand in the future. It's also a managed switch with features like ddos protection and QOS (quality of service) QOS means that real time packets (ie like people playing on the server) gets priority over other types like a file transfer or download
-Additional UPS's (Basically Batteries) for the new servers and one for the modem/router using these if there is ever a power cut the servers can shutdown properly so we don't get any corruption from sudden shutdowns and in theory the servers should still run normally for around 20-30 mins even without power and the line goes into one of the ups's so the internet will still work too
-& some smaller stuff like the main server has a proper ethernet cable now where before it had one with a broken locking connector so it could fall out easily lol:
And i have also done a couple videos. One is a server tour taking a look at everyone's base should be live now. and the second is a tour of my base which is a pretty damm epic video if i do say so myself you should definitely check that one out should be live tomorrow 7pm ;)
So yeah been busy busy busy, still have 1 more server to set up going to use that one to host the server bots and some other tweaks and what not. I think we're ready for A17 now haha =)
