Exclamation Server move coming up SOON!

Just ordered a new server, so as soon as the hard drives come in and it gets set up, this site will be moving over to it. It's in a different data center entirely.

There will be little, if any, warning about when the move actually commences. The intention is to try to not lose any posts here, if possible, so if I have enough warning from the tech doing the move, I will lock this site down until the move has been completed. So if you try to log in here and can't get in, that will be what is going on. This is supposed to take place before the weekend arrives....

Even after the move, some things may not work properly until they get ironed out. If I remember correctly, the chat system was a major pain in the butt for quite a while after the last move. So it certainly wouldn't surprise me it that is the case again this time.

Anyway, just a heads up.

The new server should be substantially quicker than the present one.

Dual quad processor Cloverton
4 gig main ram
dual 73 gig 15K rpm SCSI harddrives running in Raid 0 config

Wow Rich, you must be a brave guy! Changing servers in the middle of hatching season!

And I thought I was brave for moving in the middle of January in Northern Illinois....

Thanks, Kelli. Hopefully this won't be too bad. Done enough of them now that most problems are becoming familiar. Just as long as I remember what I had to do to fix them the last time.....

Actually my first clutch began hatching yesterday, so it's not crunch time yet. It will be a few more weeks before things start getting crazy around here.

I would like to get my domain hosting server moved as well, but I don't think that can happen right away. I can't have too many headaches piling up on my at one time.

Just a heads up that the move MAY take place tonight. Depends on how much burn in time they give the new server and when they can schedule the account moves over to it.

How long does a server move usually take?

I don't know. I have never done a server move that was "usual".....

Ahem, as I was saying........

Just got word that the hard drives that came in were the smaller ones, apparently for a different server. Mine are "supposed" to be in on Thursday....

RAID 0 ??? That will be fast, but...

What is your backup situation like?
