Brief periods of downtime over the next few days
There are a bunch of software updates that need to happen on the site software as well as the underlying OS. Since these updates requires some down-time anyhow, I’ll be taking this opportunity to perform some maintenance I’ve been putting off.
Here’s what you can expect:
- About 2 hours of downtime starting at 23:00 UTC today, to perform a full backup and migrate the database to a new drive
- Intermittent downtime (should be no more than 30m at a time) throughout the day tomorrow as various components are updated and configuration changes are made
- Maintenance should be complete by Friday, May 18, 2012 at 03:00 UTC
As always, keep an eye on and the for updates.
