[Complete] Rolling Restarts 10/01/2011

Tonight we are continuing with maintainence on XN12 and XN3.

Updates will be provided here throughout.

XN12 (Complete)
8.00PM – Going down for reboot now
8.03PM – System is up and starting rolling restarts of VPS
8.10PM – All VPS have been restarted

XN3 (Complete)
8.24PM – Going down for reboot now
8.26PM – System has failed to boot into the new kernel, investigating now
8.37PM – This server appears to have a bootloader (grub) issue which we are working to resolve
8.53PM – Looks like this isn’t such a simple issue. We are still working on it and will restore service ASAP.
9.04PM – Server is now booting up on the old kernel and we are investigating why the new kernel failed to boot. It’s the same hardware as our other servers.
9.22PM – Issue resolved and the system is now up on the new kernel. Restarts of VPS to follow
9.38PM – All VPS have been restarted

Today’s maintainence is now complete. Appologies for the delay on XN3, however this was absolutly mandatory to ensure the machine is not vulnerable to a driver bug which has affected two other systems earlier this week.
