Reminder: Network Maintenance Servers 3300-4299 6/19/2014 10pm-11:59pm CST

Rebooting

Completed 11:15PM

TaylorSwoft node is being rebooted for emergency maintenance. There is no cause for concern and no expectation of any issues after this brief maintenance. We are happy to provide more details via support ticket. We will update via twitter.

Server finished rebooting at 10:15. All VPS should now be online.

Node is booting up containers now. 

We did a emergency reboot on Dalls 2, Node was back online around 5:15AM and containers finished booting at 5:36. 

This attack has been mitigated. 

We are currently migrating our VPS control panel. Please forgive us for the inconvenience. This should last, at most, until 2PM US/Central.

We are working on sorting this out. Will keep everyone updated.

Our VPS control panel is currently down. As soon as I know something more about it I will update you.

Hi everyone,

I have some planned maintenance ahead that I want to notify you well in advance for. Fear not, this is very short maintenance and we have time to make arrangements with you to skip any downtime if you need.

Reboot schedule:
DallasOne (node5) - April 21, 12:00 AM US/Central
DallasTwo (node6) - April 21, 12:30 AM US/Central
*Down time expected to be no more than 15 minutes.

We've been having some issues with the checkpoint module on this kernel. While these issues have been fairly minor, I do worry that they hold potential for future unplanned issues. Rest assured that we do not reboot for just any reason. Our current uptime record is 166 days, which is close to the amount of time we have been providing VPS services. However, we will reboot for a kernel upgrade if we feel that we are lowering your chances of downtime that could exceed that of the maintenance schedule and could be more damaging to your services.

If there are any unexpected issues we'll continue to work on them, but you can follow http://twitter.com/catalysthost for up-to-date progress.  Also, our support system will remain online during this period so if you have any questions you are more than welcome to ask.

Network upgrade planned for Lenoir, NC at 11:00PM EST on Wednesday, 2/20. Downtime planned about 15 minutes.

Node5 is currently experiencing iowait ranging from 6%-25%. The system may feel a little less responsive than usual, but by no means at unacceptable levels. This is due to our backup procedure. I will work on adjusting our procedure to off load the data prior to compressing it for next week, until then I'm going to let this continue. It's not bad, it's just not "ideal." It should be over with before long.

There appears to be a network issue with Node4 in Lenoir, NC. Looking into this right now.

We will be migrating the SolusVM master to Dallas, TX for a faster connection to all nodes. Just one more way to make everything just a little bit better.
