Just a reminder, tonight at 11 PM we will be performing an emergency maintenance on part of our electrical system. This will have an impact on a portion of our shared web and database servers, and eight dedicated and colocated servers. The shared hosting servers affected are:
acacia, acorn, alder, aralia, arrowwood, ash, aspen, avocado, balsa, balsam, bamboo, banana, banyan, bayberry, beech, bigleaf, blackberry, boojum, boxwood, bubinga, buckeye, cactus, cedar, cherry, chestnut, cholla, cinnamon, clover, columbia, commerce2, commerce3, cork, cottonwood, db, deerwood, dogwood, ebony, elm, evergreen, ficus, fig, filbert, fuji, gingko, grape, grapevine, hackberry, hazel, hemlock, hickory, ironbark, ivy, kentia, kola, kudzu, larch, laurel, lilac, lime, madrona, magnolia, mango, mangrove, maple, mesquite, mimosa, moringa, mulberry, myrtle, newninewire, ninewire2, olive, orchid, palmetto, papaya, pear, pecan, plum, poplar, privet, quince, redbud, sassafras, savin, sequoia, sherwood, snowberry, spiceberry, spruce, strawberry, sycamore, tamarack, teak, truffula, tutsan, walnut, woodpecker, yucca, yulan/fern
Every effort will be made to minimize the downtime. Our electricians have estimated the time required to complete the task at 2 hours.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we strive to build a better facility.
Update 1:15 AM: The maintenance went very smoothly and was completed in under 90 minutes. We were able to supply alternate power to the few dedicated and colo servers involved in the maintenance. We also took the opportunity to replace some failed parts in a couple of servers (acorn for example whose fan inside the power supply had stopped working.)
Again, thank you so much for your patience during this critical maintenance interval.
