New maintenance window Mar 4 1 - 4 pm UTC (was Re: dataset1001 (dumps.wikimedia.org) maintenance window March 2 1-4pm UTC) - Xmldatadumps-l

3 Mar 2016

Fallback is: cable up the old 1GB nic (Chris has done this and set up the
port), PXE install on that, move to 10gb NIC once we're back up.  Gross but
it gets the job done.

Set for tomorrow (Friday) 1 to 4 pm UTC, this time should be much smoother.
Same caveats apply as before.

  PXE boot from non-embedded nic failed spectacularly
despite our best
 efforts.  This means we'll have to schedule another window once we have
 someting new to try. I apologize for the extra inconvenience.  All services
 are back exactly the way they were.

  Dataset1001, the host which serves dumps and
other datasets to the
 public, as well as providing access to various datasets directly on
 stats100x, will be unavailable tomorrow for an upgrade to jessie.  While I
 don't expect to need nearly 3 hours for the upgrade, better safe than
 sorry. In the meantime all files will be accessible via
 ms1001.wikimedia.org via the web, and all dumps and page view files
 from our mirrors as well.

 Thanks for your understanding.
