We will be migrating the Yoda node to new hardware starting on October 21st and it will last up until October 24th although we estimate it'll take not even 24 hours to migrate the entire node to new hardware.

There will be no down time during this migration we will move VPS's using the migration tools in OpenVZ to minimize the impact of the move as much as possible. We're sorry about the short notice regarding this we were waiting on availability of hardware before posting any notice and we found out today the hardware was available and we'd like to use it immediately.

Specification break down:

Old Yoda
Dual Xeon 5430
8GB RAM
4x250GB SATA Raid-10

New Yoda
Dual Xeon 5520
24GB RAM
4x300GB SAS Raid-10


So this is a significant jump in specifications on this node.

If you have any questions or concerns about this migration do not hesitate to make a VPS ticket.

Start Date: 10/21/2009
End Date: 10/24/2009
Estimated Down Time: less than 5 minutes
Duration: 4 days

This has been completed. It was basically completed since early this afternoon except for one VPS we did later in the day.
