[Wikia-l] Planned outages

[Artur Bergman]

Hi,

We performed several of hours of work in the datacenter, and I hope  
none of the outages were too annoying.

Sadly, we didn't get everything we wanted done. So we are spending  
tomorrow in the datacenter as well. During the day we will do non  
disruptive work, and from 5pm PST to 12pm PST we will do work that  
has downtime. (If my math is correct, it is  1AM UTC to 7 AM UTC)


The two major causes of downtime, both going to last around 5 minutes  
are;  reconfiguring and restarting our main file server and adding  
more CPU to our main database server.

Thanks and apologies
Artur

Main reason for the extra work is that the colo is rather messy and  
we are cleaning it up as we go.
