Server Upgrades

Message

The following servers will be rebooted between 6:00 and 7:00 am on Thursday May 28th.

pemlinweb01 through pemlinweb12

This is to facilitate some memory upgrades due to spikes in activity during peak hours. We'll be doing them in batches starting with:

pemlinweb01.blacknight.com
pemlinweb03.blacknight.com
pemlinweb05.blacknight.com
pemlinweb10.blacknight.com

then:

pemlinweb02.blacknight.com
pemlinweb04.blacknight.com
pemlinweb06.blacknight.com
pemlinweb11.blacknight.com

then:

pemlinweb07.blacknight.com
pemlinweb08.blacknight.com
pemlinweb09.blacknight.com
pemlinweb12.blacknight.com

The reboots should be quite quick as the memory install should only take 30 seconds per node.

If you have any issues after 07:00 on the 28th please contact support immediately.

NB: All times are Dublin, Ireland. This service notice only affects shared servers. It has no impact on VPS servers

Update: 07:00

Phase 1 and 2 complete with all nodes back online. An unforeseen set back has delayed the startup of pemlinweb7/8/9/12. Once an fsck is done on these machines they should be back up. It's around 25% of the way done. We estimate that they'll be back by approx 07:30. I'll post further updates shortly. This maintenance window has been extended for another hour as a precaution.

Update: 07:35

Those machines are now back online. This maintenance window is now completed and closed.
