[Labs-announce] (mostly) DONE: Labs upgrades Wednesday 2015-08-25 16:00 UTC

[Andrew Bogott]

I've upgrade most of the servers now, and labs should behave much as 
you'd expect.  There are two caveats:

- Info pages on wikitech for new instances will not be present or 
updated.  This is because of a well-understood issue that I plan to fix 
in the next few hours.

- All new instances will be scheduled on labvirt1004 for the next few 
days.  Once we're convinced that everything is working normally I'll 
upgrade the other labvirt nodes and open up the schedule pool -- no one 
should notice the difference, really, before or after.

There was a brief network outage during this window, but most of you 
shouldn't have noticed much of anything.  Let me know if you see any 
new, bad behavior.
