Urgent Server Work Scheduled - FINAL - ALL WORK COMPLETE

[Humbug]

Fix the issue with the voice servers and they are now back on .203 - ALL work complete


Found the issue with voice servers and we are now attempting to resolve it


All Game servers are now back in their original homes. We have ran into a problem with voice servers due to compatibility problems with murmur and server 08.  We are working on resolving it but until then the voice server will remain on .201



17:00 first game server moving back home to .203 - will perform tests on this before moving any others



WORK COMPLETE ON .201.  INSTALLATION OF NEW OS UNDER WAY ON .203

for people who have had servers moved they are up on the same port numbers just the IP has changed to .201, we are very sorry for this but unfortunately this is unavoidable.  This is a temporary measure and we'll move them back to asap.

Please speak to me (Humbug) if you have any further questions.

Hi all,

We are currently having problems with our 81.19.221.203 server where it has a hard disk fault.  We have already ordered replacement drives which should arrive at the data centre Wednesday.  As we are having data centre techs repair one of our dedi's we thought we might as well get them to install another drive on 81.19.221.201 while they were there.

So to cap, there is some major work planned for our dedi boxes and we are sorry for any down time people may experience.  We'll try our best to keep it to a minimum and for people who have servers from us, we'll try and make sure that one of your servers is up.

Voice server users will have to use a temp channel in the nervousenergy mumble while .203 is being rebuilt.

Anyone who has concerns about this can contact me in steam/on mumble/in our IRC channel.

Thanks and wish us luck

update : -

we should be able to move 1 game server for each of the people who have servers from us from .203 to .201.  We can also move the voice servers over to .201 and have them remain active.

Please contact me a.s.a.p. if you require this to be done as a game server move takes a while

The day this work will start is Thursday 06/05/2010

ALL SERVERS ON .203 WILL BE SHUT DOWN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND MOVED TO .201
