TCH-James Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Greetings TCH Family, Tonight we will be moving a few of the shared servers to a new rack. This move is for the installation of new power reboot bars. It was decided that instead of taking multiple servers down and replacing the power strips, we would move them a few feet one at a time. Downtime expected is between 10-20 Minutes per server as they are pulled over to the new rack and reconnected. We will begin around 1:00AM EDT. I will post in the individual server locations as well as here when they are being brought down. The servers involved are: Naboo Endor Bespin Danuta R2D2 Ossus Tarvis Dagobah Coruscan Kamino Kalee Yavin Plavin Applecore Fresia
Head Guru Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Just a side note, our DC Manager was not happy with the current power distro switches, so he talked me into buying $700.00 power strips. So much for his retirement plan. LOL Bill
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 If only I had known this was coming out of my retirement fund beforehand.... Finishing up some last minute prep and then I will begin with the server moves.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 The first server going down is Coruscant.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Coruscant is back online. Kamino will be the next machine to be moved.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Kamino is back online. The next server will be Kalee.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Kalee is back online. The next server done will be Yavin.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Yavin is back online. The next server to be done is R2D2
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 While disconnecting R2D2 for the move, the power cord for Danuta came unplugged as well. Instead of bringing it back online and then down again, Danuta was moved simultaneously. Both servers are on their way back up.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Danuta is back online. R2D2 is performing a filesystem check and should be online shortly.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 R2D2 is back online. I will need to move the power for the old network switch, which will cause the remaining servers to blip. This will take about a minutes and then we will begin with the remaining servers.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Everything is set to begin the next set of servers. Naboo is the next server to be brought down.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Naboo is currently performing an fsck and will be back online shortly. I will be bringing down Dagobah to move while this completes.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Naboo is back online and Dagobah is on it's way up. Endor will now come down and be moved.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Dagobah is back online and Endor is on it's way up. Applecore will now be going down for maintenance.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Endor and applecore are both online. Tarvis will be the next server down for maintenance.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Tarvis is back online. Plavin will be the next server down for maintenance.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Plavin is now back online. Fresia will be the next server moved.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Fresia is now back online. I will announce the next system shortly
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Endor is going to be moved quickly to allow some extra room for maintenance. Should only take 5 minutes.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Endor is back online and Ossus will be the next server.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Both servers are back online and this concludes our maintenance. I will post shortly with the actual downtimes for each server.
TCH-James Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 The following is a list of actual downtimes according to our 3rd Party Monitoring service. Naboo - 16 Min Endor - 18 Min Bespin - 2 Min Danuta - 12 Min R2D2 - 18 Min Ossus - 4 Min Tarvis - 3 Min Dagobah - 12 Min Coruscant - 12 Min Kamino - 5 Min Kalee - 11 Min Yavin - 4 Min Plavin - 2 Min Applecore - 6 Min Fresia - 3 Min If you have any issues with your account on any of these servers, please open a ticket with the help desk. Since this maintenance has been completed, I am closing the thread.
