[eclipse.org-committers] Eclipse downtime update
|
Hi Everyone,
Here is a quick update on our planed downtimes:
1. Backend maintenance
2. Networking gear upgrade
1. Backend maintenance
We've now got the parts required to repair the raid cache controllers in
our backend and build servers. Not having the controllers running at
100% has been hurting performance. As such we plan to make repairs on
Saturday August the 15th starting at 8pm(EDT). Since the systems need
to be shutdown it means that almost all Eclipse.org services will be
unavailable for about 4 hours while the parts are replaced.
2. Networking gear upgrade
At EclipseCon, Cisco gave us some great networking equipment that will
give us some breathing room under our bandwidth cap. We are currently
topped out on our 100 megabit firewall and load balancer. After some
months of planning and configuration work, it's time to replace some of
our aging hardware with the new gear. We will be using the weekend of
August 22-23 to upgrade key pieces of our networking equipment. Because
this affects all services there will be some down time on those days.
Karl and Denis will be starting at 8am Eastern on Saturday the 22nd.
All of the work may be completed that day, but there could be
intermittent down time for the remainder of the weekend as we fine tune
the new configuration and verify reliability of our services. We will
do our best to make the downtime as short as possible, but you should
expect that all services may be difficult to use or largely unavailable
during that time frame. We appreciate your understanding!
Thanks for reading. If you have any questions or comments, please feel
free to contact us at webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx
Matt.
