Downtime Window

Date - Thursday, December 11, 2003
Time - 7:00 am to 11:00 am GMT/UTC
Duration - 4 hours
Affected Systems - Domain Name Registrations, Renewals, Transfers, Management, My Order Box Interfaces, WHOIS Service

The new Hardware consist of robust IBM 345 xSeries Servers, each running:

Dual Intel 2.67 GHz Xeon processors
2 GB 266MHz DDR ECC SDRAM
Multiple SCSI Hard Disk Drives
HW Raid 5i with DUAL Ultra320 SCSI

A brief plan of this planned outage is described below:

STEP 1 - At 5:00 am GMT/UTC all My Order Box Servers will be shut down

STEP 2 - The Database Servers will shift and the NEW Database Server will be brought up. At this time, all My Order Box Web Servers [Old and New] will be connected to the NEW Database Servers. Thus, data gets stored in the NEW Database Servers itself.

STEP 3 - After making the appropriate DNS changes, all requests directed towards the OLD Web Server would begin to go to the NEW Servers. We would continue keeping the OLD Web Server live for some time, just in case some DNS Server still sending the requests to the OLD Server.

While we expect this shift to complete well within time, we would be conducting extensive tests that may require intermittent restarts, thus, utilising the entire Downtime Window.

Inconvenience caused due to this downtime is deeply regretted.

30 минут уже прошло, возможна небольшая задержка.
