Tony Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 We will be upgrading the Mercury server starting on Saturday January 10th. We will be upgrading the machine to a Intel Xeon 5430 (2.66ghz) machine. It'll see it's move to 64bit which should hopefully provide a performance improvement there as well. Various other components will also be upgraded but not worth talking about such as a newer raid card and hard drives. We'll do this upgrade by moving everyone to a new server already configured so there should be almost no down time. Along with this move as we migrate users to the new machine they will be greeted with LiteSpeed. This will provide we hope a significant speed improvement for all users. This will also move us one step closer to having all machines once again on the same configuration. For this move we expect no more than 5 minutes of down time for any site. The reason being we will re-route the IP a site is on once we've moved the site. We are estimating this will take us a maximum of three days but we hope to have this done within two days. We're sorry about the late notice on this but we do not expect any service interruption at all. If you have any questions about this do not hesitate to contact us. Start Date: 01/10/2009 End Date: 01/13/2009 Estimated Down Time: less than 5 minutes Duration: 3 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I forgot to update this but this has been completed some time ago. Everything should be running as it did before except on a higher end machine and running LiteSpeed for the web server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
