Scheduled downtime

Post by **+Colibri** » Thu May 24, 2007 8:31 am

I will need to make extensive maintenance to the server, format the system and change a few network configurations, so I will need to take the server offline for one whole day (10AM-6PM shard time).

I'm scheduling this big downtime to occur on one of these days:
Saturday, 2nd of June
Sunday, 3rd of June
Wednesday, 6th June through Sunday 10th June.

Only one of these days. Once i make this i expect to test the server till the end of June, and if it prooves stable, it will be running throughout July (when i'm on vacation). Instead of purchasing one month of a dedicated server i'll rather add 60$ extra and buy a new UPS.

Any day unfortunantly for me works.I don't currently have a lot of down time, so I won't be around that much for alittle bit. Yeah, I'm bummed too.

Hopefully soon though.

Ok, it's going down tomorrow morning.

June 5th 2007 at approx 11AM shard time
That's 5AM eastern, 2AM pacific.

I've already done some preparations today, so it will probably take about 3 hours.

There will also be 2 or 3 scripts added, and if there's time i'll look into a few bugs.

Good news and bad news.

I've started a bit late, at 1PM. When installing windows, it didnt recognize the full 250GB of the harddrive, just 130. Since the partition D looked like it's missing something, it started to "save" all the data, effectively corrupting some of it.
Good for me to have daily backups. The rest which isnt backcked up, was saved later on. Error by error, it's been a busy day.

Although the server is now online, i'm afraid i will get on to the RunUO part tomorrow. I hope you can all get by that. So at about 1PM shard time, it should be all online as usual.

Sorry for all the inconveniance.
