Guild Launch News
DOWNTIME: Sigs & Advertising Servers - 8am-noon 11/20
We will be taking the advertising and signature serving servers down tomorrow morning to move them into the same datacenter rack as the new primary Guild Launch hardware.
This move will not effect any of the guild sites directly. Only signature serving and ad serving.
This is one of the last steps before we begin preparing for final testing and configuration of the new Guild Launch hardware environment. This move will place all of the hardware that we will be maintaining going forward into the same environment.
The reason for the extended downtime window is that we will be physically moving the servers. That move should only take about 15 minutes since it is about 75 feet of distance. However, new internal network configurations, cable cutting, testing, etc. are required due to the physical move. In addition, this window allows for domain propagation. The downtime that you actually experience could be as short as 20 minutes.
We're really getting excited about this hardware move and the new Guild Launch environment. We will be releasing more info on the new hardware when we announce the actual cutover.
Until then, Enjoy!
