announcement Server Maintenance 2015.07.22

[&Genesis2001]

ATTENTION: Emergency server maintenance TODAY at 09:30/10:00 UTC-7 (Arizona). Server will be OFFLINE for several hours while we perform a host node REINSTALL to fix performance issues.

 

We believe the server has a misconfiguration on the host node that is causing performance to decrease with the virtual machines that run our network. This reinstall of the host OS will, we hope, correct that issue. We will keep you guys updated as progress happens via Twitter and Facebook (links below).

 

• 2015-07-22 @ 11:30 UTC-7: Maintenance is starting later than originally estimated. We hope to begin shortly.
• 2015-07-22 @ 11:42 UTC-7: Maintenance beginning. Server now offline.
• 2015-07-22 @ 12:42 UTC-7: Server boots. We are reconfiguring the environment for the new lighter virtualization system.
• 2015-07-22 @ 14:18 UTC-7: Server is up. Double checking everything is alright.
• 2015-07-22 @ 17:23 UTC-7: Server performance seems better right now. Setup a PERFTEST server to test load.

Ok.

Server maintenance is still ongoing a bit. Setup a test renegade server to see if things appear to be less laggier (beyond network lag).

 

Ticket has been opened with regards to disk I/O performance as well.

Update: Tomorrow, around 6-7PM Central US (UTC-6, Chicago Time) we'll be rebooting the host server one again.

 

This time we'll be performing some I/O tests which might take maybe an hour or two. During this time, we'll still have Hawk's server running NewMaps temporarily.
