I got "You must have an active product/service to use this code" error when I applied the Promo code so it did not remove the setup fee. Was logged in to my account and I do have an active service

Does this mean the node assignments were filled or just some issue with the site?

^Yup, I concur. I couldn't get netboot.xyz to play nicely, so booted Alama and flags are set.
Just FYI, you can use netboot.xyz from grub pretty easily. Just follow these steps:
apt update && apt install grub-imageboot
mkdir /boot/images
cd /boot/images
wget https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.iso
update-grub2
(if you're not quick, edit GRUB_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub to 30 or higher, run update-grub2 after editing)
Then just reboot and select netboot from the boot menu (you'll need VNC access for this bit)
Now you do know that you don't really need that and I'll take it off your hands; find it a new home on the East Coast (or NL) where it won't get abused.

@Virmach Perhaps you can ask the mods to create a forum post specifically for reporting issues with the NVMe alpha/beta test. Not much point in adding to your Ticket count, eh?

Gateway is pingable but Solus HTML5 VNC doesn't attach to node and VMS doesn't boot up (to netboot.xyz ISO).
Same problem, I also noticed that client panel says AMSD030X but its RYZE.AMS-D001.VMS in Solus. I'm not sure if numbers should match but they usually do
It just means I can't type. (edit) or think.
I think it must the first one since that package has only 1GB of bandwidth. You cannot think anyone could proceed a normal testing with such a abnormal amount of data transfer
This is a glitch that ModulesGarden was asked to fix for probably years and kept saying it's fixed and didn't fix it. Maybe they did fix it by now but I'm pretty sure we're on the latest version already. I'll fix it now, order another one in a few minutes.

Ordered with Debian 11. The order process was fine. Was provisioned an 1CPU, 1GB RAM, 25GB disk, 1GB traffic on a AMS node. Was marked as offline. Went into the control panel and tried to boot it. Nothing. Re-installed with Debian 11. Still not coming up. Tried Debian 10. Not still offline. Tried VNC, unreachable. Tried remote echo request (PING) to make sure it wasn't being misreported by control panel, no response. Tried CentOS 8, still not up. Tried a couple power offs, boots, and what not.

I have a tiny VPS on PHXZ004 idling all the time just triggered an email imforming me it was suspended due to bandwidth overuse. It was a BF flash deal plan and the bandwidth actually is as low as 125GB if I remember correctly so it could have fallen victim to some sort of attack and got it all burnt up ( or maybe the configuration messed up during migration or IP switching and I didn't pay attention ).
I don't think I'm gonna appeal for it. It's just kinda infuriating not be able to inspect how or when it ran out of bandwidth as either whcms or solusvm won't allow me to see stats and graph at all when service isn't active.
Yeah I agree with you there. We really need to consider using something else soon as our next big project but I'd rather just leave everything alone at this point. I feel like us and the customers alike have had a decade's worth of frustration from everything flying around this year.
But pretty much every case is what you described, it might have gotten hacked. The only way to be nearly 100% secure is to use SSH key and disable VNC most the time but I understand that's not convenient for most people.
I think the big providers qualify new hardware configs for months before opening them up to non-beta users. 14 day burn in is for new installs of hw configs that have already been qualified. It sounds like the hw issues in this thread came from configs that were flaky to begin with, so 14 days wouldn't be nearly enough of a burn-in.
I certainly hope that all these emergencies resolve and things get near normal again. At that point it's worth doing some reflection to figure out what went wrong and how it can be prevented going forward. Postmortems are a usual procedure after any significant outage.
SJCZ005 is coming back, it was about to come back this morning and then I got dragged into something else for several hours.
We've definitely had way longer than months of testing for the configurations, but definitely not every single unit. They're all brand new parts and some just end up malfunctioning after people actually go on them. Based on our experience so far I think 2 weeks is pretty good. Most nodes didn't crash or have problems until we finally filled them, and the ones that did showed their problems relatively quickly. We do actually test everything though beforehand, it's just not the same. Like a node can do a stress test for several days and then once it gets the right combination of people actually using it or after a rough shipment it can still pass everything with flying colors and then go haywire once it has to actually boot up a bunch of VMs doing random things at random times.

I feel bad for grabbing one of the free instances, I'll probably just run archiveteam on it + yabs on cron or something.
Sounds like you should also order another one.

I don't know, I'll stop rambling I guess.
Oh god my brain is actually melting, I could have sworn I fixed it but it's entirely possible I can no longer type 001 correctly.
If it makes you feel any better this node has just been sitting there idle for ~3 months now.
Some old WHMCS bug IIRC.
Now just add a 2TB HDD or therabouts and we've got the making of a sweet 15GB NVme/150GB HDD hybrid. Then unleash on the Tokyo suckers punters!

I am going to try obtaining multiple of them and create a Proxmox HA cluster, let's see how well it does
This is acceptable use case for IO/CPU "abuse" right?

I have never done this before but my plan is setup VPN in one node, so others can connect to it and use that as the "external" IP address with the HA cluster setup

@FAT32 Please install Alma8 Linux template first to get AES-NI, VM-x/AMD-V enabled. Then install Proxmox .

So is everyone else just paying the setup fee?
Just realise all of them are in the same host node, probably defeat the purpose of HA
