Server Migration, Downtime expected!!

Post by Phreddie »

**** Latest Downtime update ****
July 24, 11pm eastern.


**** Downtime Tonight 7/23/2015 ****
Tonight as in, "early tomorrow morning", or 7/24/2015 at around 1am Eastern Time
Final sync of the data, and moving the IPs to the new server.
*******************************

**** UPDATE 7/21/2015 ****
Finally the bulk of the migration (copying files) has started, supposedly this AM. The site may act a little slow while a few hundred gigs are copied to the new server.
After copying files, we'll do a review on the new server to make sure things look ok, then there will be a brief downtime for a few minutes (hopefully tomorrow morning (eastern time, around time of this edit, but tomorrow)), as any changes get copied over, then the IPs get moved over.

************************

We've had pretty good uptime, but we're going to have to be down for possibly 10 hours while we transition all the data to a new server. Although we're still trying to work out a good time to do it with the hosting company, it MIGHT be as soon as tonight! (Monday July 20, starting around 2AM EST).
I've tossed around the idea of doing an online migration, then just syncing up the changes at the end, but that may prove to be more trouble than its worth, with so many "moving parts" so to speak.

Will try to update this post as I know more info. Although that won't help with people who havnt logged in to see this, or are in other countries in drastically different timezones.

Looks like we can do it a bit easier, as my first thoughts.. move everything over, then when all looks good, take the site down, do one last quick sync of new/changed files, move the IP over, and back up and running. So downtime will be just a few minutes!

Sounds good in theory anyway. =)

A few minutes times three, times three again is still incredibly fast. I see you favor Geordi LaForge over Mr. Scott when it comes to estimating job times. That's no way to be known as a miracle worker! :mrgreen:
