d2 switch upgrades

GatorNate · #1 03-05-2009, 02:26 AM

The Dallas2 datacenter our DC uses is doing switch upgrades tonight. This will take boxes offline for 20-30 minutes as they replace the uplink switches with new ones. These switches will make the servers more resistant to DDOS attacks. If you notice a site offline, please come into livechat and ask the technician to verify if your site is being effected. We are partnering closely with our DC to make sure that our servers are back online as fast as possible.

Good luck. And watch out for Murphy's Law.

Pazeh,

Because of the number of servers involved, and they brief period so many of them are unresponsive for, we decided not to post a full list. In the future you can feel free to hop into live chat and ask for confirmation there.

The network maitenance is going to happen again for the last chunk of servers is this data center tonight. We do not expect to have as many down as last night. It will be finished by 6am CST. If you have any questions feel free to get in LiveChat or PM me on this forum.
