Fowarding to Foundation-l, just so more people are in the loop and don't swarm #wikimedia-tech with "ZOMG SITE BROKEN!" :) -Chad ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mark Bergsma <mark(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 4:35 PM Subject: [Wikitech-l] Downtime due to network maintenance, Friday July 31st 12:00 UTC To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello, Due to a problem in one of our core routers in our Tampa cluster we need to perform some network maintenance tomorrow, Friday July 31st around 12:00 UTC. We will be performing a software upgrade and reboot of the router. This should not take more than a few minutes if everything goes well. Unfortunately this means that practically all sites and services will be down during that time. For those interested: one of the line cards in the router failed earlier this week. A replacement has arrived, but does not boot up correctly after hot plugging. Because we want to upgrade the firmware anyway, we will reboot the entire box.
