Scheduled Maintenance 5/19/06

[Dean]

On Friday 5/19/06 we will be performing scheduled maintenance on the Unix15 server.

Start Time: 3PM EST 5/19/06
End Time: 9PM EST 5/19/06

The home2 drive on this server is being upgraded to a larger capacity drive. We will be performing a live copy, so the FTP service will be shut down during the transfer. After the transfer is complete, Apache will be stopped as the drives are remounted. The total expected downtime is 5 - 10 minutes.

I am taking the FTP service down now and the data copy will be starting shortly. HTTP will not be affected.

Please, please try to do these kinds of upgrades over the weekend or during the late night hours. My client is angry because he uses his account exclusively for FTP and there is nothing I can do.

Thanks,
PM

The upgrade is complete. All services up.

yeah problem with that request is who's weekend or night time hours do they do the updates for? dont forget that there are people world wide. so no matter what time they do the updates its going to affect someone. Best they can do is do the updates at the time when the servers are least busiest.
