Live server outage - March 8 @ ~6:00pm [complete]

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 5:30 pm

I will be bringing the live environment down for about an hour tomorrow to do some testing. There will be a test shard up in place of Live and anyone is welcome to logon, but it may get rebooted at any time, and any progress done on it will NOT save.

I will update this post once the live environment is brought back up. The logon message will say that it is a test shard so this is how you will be able to differentiate.

This test will be needed to give an idea of the stability for this new SQL engine. It is giving me lag issues in Dev and I want to rule out a local server issue. I'm thinking the live server will handle it better but need to verify.

Since no one was on I decided to start this outage early. There are tons of dependencies I need to install just to get the SQL connector component to work (I hate M$ for that. I thought Linux was bad) and running into other issues so it will buy me some time to hopefully get it running so I can do the testing.

I will post once the live environment is back up.

I figure I may as well open this up to public.

Same login info as live, but you need patch 7.0.12.0.

If you do patch, BACKUP YOUR EXISTING PATCH. This is just a test shard and is not an update.

I am testing the performance of the MySQL engine on the live server hardware to ensure there are no surprises when it comes time to release.
