What: The hard drives currently in the NIBBLER server will be moved to a new server chassis.
When: Monday October 6, 2008
Window: 11:00 PM ET until 11:30 PM ET
Impact: Approximately 15 minutes downtime of the NIBBLER server.
Note: This is an Advisory Notice Only. No action on the part of site owners will be required.
The hard drives that are currently in the NIBBLER server will be moved into a brand new server chassis with the exact same hardware.
The purpose of this is to complete the MASH project. When this is done the new server will be NIBBLER and the older one will be a new MASH box. We could just use the new server as the MASH box but it makes more sense to use a known working system that has proven itself over time. This way if we ever have to use the MASH box to take over for a failed system we will know that MASH machine is proven hardware.
There will be no server renaming or site transfers in this maintenance. It will appear to be a simple reboot to anyone watching as the hardware specs are identical.
