Reminder from MOTD - Hardware upgrade starting at 3pm EST.

[Austinpowers]

Starting today:

I receive the new card today, I have everything else in or waiting to go in. I will wizlock the game at 3pm EST. I will do a full backup at 3pm – 4pm. At 4pm I take down the server and
1) Remove one intel NIC card. That reduces us from 4 to 3 internet connections. (At a later date, I will replace that single with a dual NIC card).
2) Make the RAID 1 between the two new jedi drives. (now we will be hardware RAID instead of software).
3) Install the OS (15 minutes).
4) Add the backupPC commands in RSYC and XINETd.
5) Restore the full backup.
6) I already have a full backup of mysql, Jedi, the websites, and ISPconfig (our server mgr/web manager).
7) Test. I hope to be done in about an hour.


Unless it is an EMERGENCY: Do not spam me with email asking when we will we back up. I will post.

All Jedi services will be down, EMAIL addresses with "@jedimud.com", websites (including Jedimud.com), DNS (jedimud.com), and of course the Game.

I have started the hardware upgrade earlier because i had time to, and only 1 person was on.

Thanks for the updates AP. Good luck!

The upgrade has failed due to bad SAS to Sata break out cable. No local store has them. I am bringing the game back up right now, and i will have to try and over night something for this weekend.

We will do the hardware upgrade on Sunday afternoon. Once I receive the order from Amazon, I will wizlock the game, announce it, do a full backup and commence work again.

Sorry all, but this is very important we get this done.
