Scheduled Maintenance - NT30 and Unix4

[Dean]

On Saturday, May 6th we will be upgrading the data drive in NT30. We will have to take the server offline while we do the data transfer. The expected downtime is less than 1 hour. The maintenance will start at 8PM EST.

On Sunday, May 7th Unix4 will have its motherboard replaced. The maintenance will begin at 8PM EST and is again expected to be less than 1 hour.

Updates will be given at the start and conclusion of both maintenance windows. Any complications will be communicated.

Hi Dean - thanks, but could we have a little more advance notice in future for big stuff like this, I need to notify clients in advance.

Unfortunately vBulletin doesn't notify everyone immediately a new thread is made - it's only once-daily, so there's often several hours delay there.

If my calculations were correct, the nt30 maintenance should have been done. no problems?

[Dean]

NT30 is still 2.75hrs away.

Thanks for the updates, glad it went smoothly. Sometimes these things can turn into major dramas, hence the request for more notice in future. (which has gone unnoticed)

[Dean]

Your request has not gone unnoticed.

Just a reminder. In 35 minutes UNIX4 will be going down for scheduled maintenance.

I am replacing the motherboard and cooling system.

I expect downtime to be less than 1 hour.

Maintenance on UNIX4 has begun.

UNIX4 is back online with a new motherboard.
