The server will be taken offline this afternoon , Friday 6th October 2006 for a 2Gb ram upgrade.
This upgrade is critical to solving the load issues that have been affecting the server since the new hardware was deployed, and given the severity of the load issue we figured it was best to do the ram upgrade immediately rather than wait for a normal late night maintenance window
The server will be offline for probably around 10 to 20 minutes and once back online will have twice the power it currently has.
I dont have a definate time for the server to offline as yet, but im working this out with Jeff at the datacentre, who will be performing this upgrade on Buller and Falls Creek at the same time, along with deploying 2 new Dual Xeon servers into our rack.
As soon as i have a time window i will update everyone
Regards
Steve
