This downtime will begin at 11:00 UTC and finish by 12:00 UTC.


    On Wednesday, July 18 through to Friday, June 20 we will use the full 30 minute downtime for fine tuning of the new upgrades.

    I remember the days when downtimes used to last longer than 10 minutes... My drinks tasted much better since I had time to piss in more suitable containers.

    Are you willing to bet it'll go to schedule and come back on time without issues?

    Also mostly just posting it as a heads-up for those with skill queue updates/actual ingame stuff scheduled around DT.

    That sounds like it'd be a great idea. “Really good.“

    1.5 hours to upgrade the firmware on hundreds of high performance switches, followed by 1 hour to handle a hardware migration the day after is rather ballsy, but if they can pull it off then hat's off to them.

    I'm fairly sure it is closer to 4 switches.

    Edit - Might be just 2 actually: http://community.eveonline.com/devbl...a=blog&bid=769

    Are we just being hyperbolic or have we all forgotten about the era of one hour daily down-times already?

    So nobody at CCP knows how to upgrade infrastructure? Why the hell would you try to upgrade everything in one shot? This is something they should be able todo without any service interruption.

    Perhaps because the switches/routers in question require the same rev of firmware? This isn't far fetched because of switch stacks, failover, or other such features that require multiple chassis to play nice together in a integrated way. It's hard to know without details, though.

    TBH it's the mandatory software upgrade that's telling. Either something's old enough to EOL, or they need some feature, or the supplier is dictating to them in termps of patch schedules & has them by the balls, jumping through hoops, a vendor lock-in proprietary setup.

    Yeah, in theory, protocols and standards would let various hardware work together, at least be compatible across firmware versions of the same hardware.

    hi i worked on a helpdesk and ccp are doing it wrong because i have mcdst and a+
    Hello? Oh, hello! I'm sorry it's a very bad line. No, no no... but that's not possible, she was sealed in to the Seventh Obelisk after the prayer meeting. Well, no, I get that it's important... an Egyptian Goddess loose on the Orient Express. In Space. Give us a mo....

    ... don't worry about a thing, your Majesty; we're on our way.

    I think CCPs hardware guys are their most competent. TQs Hardware has hardly ever if ever been a problem. If they feel confident to pull it off in that timeframe, I would actually trust them.

    Boot.ini wasn't something the TQ server guys screwed up.
