Web Cluster maintenance
We will be performing mantenance on the web cluster from 5.30am tomorrow morning.
The following services will be taken offline, Cluster 150, 156 and 212.
We are anticipating that work will be completed and full services restored by 8am with a possible overrun to 8.30am at the latest.
While the work is being completed sites will show an under maintenance page.
The work is necessary to allow us to migrate to a new storage platform and add support for php5 to the web clusters
UPDATE 7AM
IFL have failed to renew the access pass for the engineer carrying out this mornings scheduled work. The pass expired 2 days ago thereby preventing us from completing the migration according to our original timetable.
We have no alternative dates to complete the work so it will commence at 7.30 am this morning with a target completion of 9.30am.
UPDATE 11AM
We're seeing high traffic levels at the file server caused by a single site. If services do not settle to an acceptable level within the next 5 to 10 minutes we will disable the site and look for stability to return to the servers.
UPDATE 1.30PM
We have been able to confirm the issues seen after the file server was returned to service this morning we caused by a single site. The site in question has been disabled until we can migrate it to alternative hardware.
We will be monitoring the servers for any further issues for the rest of today.
