You can host it in nahaleem or anything. In any case c4 was built on 2005~ and guess what cpu's they used back then. However, what matters most is IOPS and ram.

Fair enough; does 1TB SSD with no raid sound adequate? or should i go with 2x 512GB SSD and raid?

Ofc raid for safety.

Ofc raid for safety.

 

Do you actually know that there are raid configurations that do exactly the opposite than increasing safety? Raid zero for instance. The correct answer would be go 2x512 @ Raid 1

I didn't mention because is clearly that only raid 1 is good for backup option. Raid 0 is excluded in this case. Specially when opening a live server. Well if you want raid 0 is ok but i realy don't recommand. Edited by xeL

Actually raid 0 splits the calculations performed on each drive. Which, incase we have 2 drives, halves the operations of each one and therefore the lifetime expectancy may also be double. Regarding live servers, what you seek is speed. You shouldn't look for "safety" on drives, since the biggest downtime expected is the changing of the failed drive.

 

The solution to security is called "cloud remote backup" of the database, plus monitoring in case of ssds since they degrade before failing.

 

RAID1 helps avoiding downtimes in case of drive failure, but don't rely your server on local-only "security".

I still recommand sas . l2 off works ok on all. The diferance will be on loading and not on game play. That why recommand it raid 1 anyway is up to him . He can use even 1 ssd with cloud db backup.

SAS are speed oriented HDDs.

 

Storage drives are all about their lifespan,speed and capacity.

 

SAS are speed oriented HDDs with the same lifespan as normal HDDs, their capacity is low tho, sometimes lower than SSDs and their speed is way lower than SSDs, not to mention the ridiculus price of them at 2k15.

 

If the setup is to be a RAID1 array, then SAS are worthless in case of server leasing. While you lease a server you don't care for how many failed drives you have as they are replaced for free as long as you use the leased server. So, as long as you don't have both drives failed which can be achieved easily by monitoring the errors,health on S.M.A.R.T., you won't have any downtime at all, because when you replace a drive the other one copies itself to the new while the server runs!

 

SAS may only be usefull due to their longer lifespan when you OWN the server hardware to avoid getting new drives.

 

My 2 cents.

 

 

(lease means rent or whatever is widely called)

SAN + Raid 5 if you got money to spend.

Otherwise, Raid 1 is quite alright with 2x SAS or just 2x normal HDD.

 

Also to be on the safe side, cloud storage backups for database.

If you use ESXi I'd recommend setting up daily snapshots of the VM which stores it on another datastore than the vmdk.

Regarding SAN, no comment at all.

 

Any virtualization is a DON'T!

Virtual enviroment has limitations in kernel and it may cause issues!

Learned it the hard way.

I work in IT infrastructure, if you use proper virtual environments then it shouldn't be a problem.

Now this is not related to L2 at all.

 

Currently got over 500 virtual servers, anything from high traffic APP servers to high CPU/RAM consuming databases... list goes on and on, no issues at all.

Actually virtual hardware works more efficient than if you ran everything off the physical server.

 

It all depends on the setup and configuration.

I'm not here to doubt your work or anything, neither to discuss it much.

We're talking l2 setup here and people tend to look for plug&play solutions with minimal configuration, so, my suggestion is to always use remote backup and fastest speeds because you don't pay for replacement drives.. If raid1 is possible then use it, it will help avoiding downtimes.

 

That's all.

Hehe it kinda went out of topic there didn't it :) 

 

I agree with using Raid 1 in this case though. 

And as I mentioned before, backing up daily db dump to cloud isn't a bad idea either.

    • Good afternoon, gentlemen. I’d like to ask a question to those who know their stuff — and just get some advice. Let me start with the main point. I want to try learning Java. Just for myself — I simply like programming, and it’s a small hobby of mine. Though, perhaps it’s too early to say I really like Java, since I don’t actually know it well yet. I’ll get straight to the point. Back in my youth, like many others, I played Lineage 2. Later, I became interested in creating servers and even made my own — we had around 70 players, all schoolkids like me. I learned how to install builds, add NPCs and various add-ons “from the internet” back then. But my attempts to create my own Lineage 2 additions in Java almost always failed. At best, I could slightly modify ready-made code, but not write anything from scratch. My interest in Lineage 2 and Java has stayed with me to this day. For me, it’s a creative process — a favorite game where you can build your own “sandbox.” I’d really like to hear from the community about where you started. In your opinion, what’s the best way to learn Java using Lineage 2 as an example? I don’t have a clear learning plan — and that’s probably the problem. I’ve tried reading Schildt’s book, and I’ve also tried studying Java source codes of various server builds by poking around to understand how the server works and how programs are written. I can’t say I understand nothing — I do get some things, and I believe I have a knack for it. But it’s not systematic. Maybe I really do need advice from more experienced people, to find a strategy that’s both effective for learning Java and interesting because it’s connected to Lineage 2 — not just writing abstract programs “for nothing.” In Lineage 2, you can see the result right away — and I get genuinely happy even from small successes. So here’s the main point: I’d like to know where you started. Is it even worth combining Java and Lineage 2? Recently, ChatGPT has been a huge help — thanks to it, I’ve made some progress and started to understand the server structure at least a little. But there’s one issue: if I just copy and paste, the result works — but without ChatGPT, I can’t reproduce it on my own. I’ve been working with PwSoft source files — I think many people know them. Why exactly them? I can’t really say — probably because there are lots of ready-made add-ons for this build online, and I originally focused more on modifying existing code than writing my own. I worked with PwSoft for a long time. Then, on ChatGPT’s advice, I switched to aCis — it’s cleaner, more minimalistic, without unnecessary “clutter.” It’s easier to understand where everything is located. I installed the aCis sources, everything compiles fine, but… if in PwSoft I could at least navigate the code and write simple methods, in aCis I couldn’t even make a basic NPC that gives noblesse for adena. That’s why I decided to write this post — just to talk about learning Java through Lineage 2, to hear your opinions, your stories, your approaches. Maybe someone will say: “Don’t bother, it’s a waste of time.” I’ll accept those answers too. But I’d still like to hear different perspectives. If you can, please recommend good video courses on Java that would help me learn faster and in a more structured way. To repeat: this is something from my childhood that I never finished. My job is stable now, and I have time — at least sometimes. I can work on this calmly, as long as my learning goes in the right direction. I think you get it: this is something “for the soul,” and I really want to grow in it. Thanks to everyone who read to the end. I really appreciate any advice. And if someone is open to chatting privately or by voice — I’d gladly talk, and I’m happy to “buy a beer” for a constructive conversation. Peace to everyone!       Добрый день, господа. Я хотел бы задать вопрос тем, кто знает свое дело — и просто получить совет. Начну с главного. Я хочу попробовать изучить Java. Только для себя — мне просто нравится программирование, и это мое маленькое хобби. Хотя, возможно, еще слишком рано говорить, что мне действительно нравится Java, так как я еще не очень хорошо ее знаю. Я сразу перейду к делу. В юности, как и многие другие, я играл в Lineage 2. Позже я увлекся созданием серверов и даже сделал свой — у нас было около 70 игроков, все школьники, как и я. Я научился устанавливать сборки, добавлять NPC и различные дополнения "из интернета" еще тогда. Но мои попытки создать свои собственные дополнения Lineage 2 на Java почти всегда терпели неудачу. В лучшем случае я мог бы немного доработать готовый код, но не писать ничего с нуля. Мой интерес к Lineage 2 и Java не покидает меня и по сей день. Для меня это творческий процесс — любимая игра, в которой можно построить свою «песочницу». Мне очень хотелось бы услышать от сообщества о том, с чего вы начали. На ваш взгляд, как лучше всего изучать Java на примере Lineage 2? У меня нет четкого плана обучения — и, вероятно, в этом проблема. Я пробовал читать книгу Герберта Шилдта, а также пытался изучать исходные коды Java различных серверных сборок, копаясь вокруг, чтобы понять, как работает сервер и как пишутся программы. Не могу сказать, что я ничего не понимаю — я кое-что понимаю, и я верю, что у меня есть к этому способности. Но это не систематично. Возможно, мне действительно нужен совет от более опытных людей, чтобы найти стратегию, которая была бы одновременно эффективной для изучения Java и интересной, потому что она связана с Lineage 2, а не просто писать абстрактные программы «впустую». В Lineage 2 результат виден сразу — и я искренне радуюсь даже от маленьких успехов. Итак, вот главное: я хотел бы знать, с чего вы начали. Стоит ли вообще совмещать Java и Lineage 2? В последнее время ChatGPT очень помог — благодаря ему я добился некоторого прогресса и начал хотя бы немного разбираться в структуре сервера. Но есть одна проблема: если я просто скопирую и вставлю, результат работает, но без ChatGPT я не могу воспроизвести его самостоятельно. Я работал с исходными файлами PwSoft — думаю, многие их знают. Почему именно они? Я не могу точно сказать — вероятно, потому что в сети есть много готовых дополнений для этой сборки, и я изначально больше сосредоточился на модификации существующего кода, чем на написании своего. Я долгое время работал с PwSoft. Потом, по совету ChatGPT, я перешел на aCis — он чище, минималистичнее, без лишнего «беспорядка». Так проще понять, где что находится. Я установил исходники aCis, все нормально компилируется, но... Если в PwSoft я мог хотя бы ориентироваться в коде и писать простые методы, то в aCis я не смог сделать даже базового NPC, который дает благородство для adena. Вот почему я решил написать этот пост — просто чтобы поговорить об изучении Java через Lineage 2, услышать ваши мнения, ваши истории, ваши подходы. Может быть, кто-то скажет: «Не заморачивайтесь, это пустая трата времени». Я тоже приму эти ответы. Но я все же хотел бы услышать разные точки зрения. Если можете, пожалуйста, порекомендуйте хорошие видеокурсы по Java, которые помогут мне учиться быстрее и более структурированно. Повторюсь: это что-то из моего детства, которое я так и не закончил. Моя работа сейчас стабильна, и у меня есть время — хотя бы иногда. Я могу спокойно работать над этим, пока мое обучение идет в правильном направлении. Думаю, вы поняли: это что-то «для души», и я очень хочу в этом расти. Спасибо всем, кто дочитал до конца. Я очень ценю любой совет. А если кто-то открыт для личного общения или голосом — я с удовольствием поговорю, и с удовольствием «куплю пиво» для конструктивного разговора. Всем мира!😀🤝
