Network forecast for this afternoon: Cloudy

I just wanted to give everyone a warning that we have some network migrations happening this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon.

 

Our datacenter provider expects that this will be about an under fifteen minute outage while they physically move our network switches onto newer equipment. While all of our server equipment is redundant we have to physically switch around some ports to core networking equipment and that will take a second to re-sync. We are expecting this to happen at High Noon Mountain time today. There will be some additional server moves to prepare, and some moves afterwards but with the full redundancy nothing should be noticeable to all of you.

 

I'll post an update when everything is done.

    Sounds like Cloudy with a high expectation of SNAFUs. I hate network migrations with a purple passion.

    Is it that time of year already?  I didn't think that migration season was here yet...or is that migraine season?

    As long as the tech doing it isn't named Murphy, it shouldn't be too bad...knock on simulated, virtual wood.

    Our datacenter provider was having some internal network issues on their office network so we called off the migration today. There were some minor upgrades along the way but sadly, not the big change that would have resulted in better performance yet.

     

    I'll give you all a heads up when we give this another try. Third time's the charm.

    While I've been known to be somewhat gifted, wink I've been through, and managed, such migrations before. The lords of IT try their best, but the Gremlins of Bug are legion and not without their ways. (I just couldn't make Bug a verb, trust me).

    It seems even the forae are vulnerable.

    Yeah - been there, done that. And even with rack-level diagrams and switch port configurartion spreadsheets showing which ports are on which VLAN assignments you still end up with that one server that just won't talk to the rest of the world. We had a one-hour reconfig take us over six hours once - because the firsat cut at the rewire was done from the back of the servers with the diagram showing the front. One hour of rewire, three hours of what the heck, one hour of unwire, and one more hour of rewire. From that point on we posted a front view AND a back view and did a dress rehersal before the shutdowns.

     

    Good luck to the DAZ network group - they may need it tonight!

    There is a site message now in red that says Notice: Product Download Delay - Thank you for your patience

    when you click it:

    Unfortunately we are experiencing a delay in the delivery of files to customers. We are very sorry for the inconvenience! But don't worry, we are still recording every purchase made and you will be able to receive your files as soon as the download service is back online, either through DIM or by directly downloading them.

    Thank you for your patience,

    I may be struggling to live on my tiny retirement income but I don't have to worry about fixing problems like this anymore.  Yea! (*happy dance*)
