Site maintenance in 2 hours

[elchorizo]

We will be doing a server migration in 2 hours. I expect the site to be down for a little less than an hour. In addition, the search index will be down after that for a couple of hours to rebuild. So downtime of 1 hour and maintenance following that of roughly 2 hours.

elchorizo? Interesting. Will it be an upgrade from 1366 platform or what?

 

[yiostheoy]

Works for me.

I'll be going to play poker in 2 hours and that always takes about 5 hours more after we get started.

Nothing like waiting for peak hours...

Peak hours is 4pm.... the traffic at 3am and 9pm is exactly the same. I have the analytics data, so this isn't just speculation....

2x Intel Xeon CPU E5-2609 v2 @ 2.5GHz, 64GB RAM and a couple 15k RPM Savvio HD's.

I will update this thread 10 minutes before shutting down and after it is completed. Still have time before it is ready.

What the hell am I supposed to do for two hours?

Oh well. Porn it is.

 

[Marion Morrison]

V2 Is that Sandy-EP, or Ivy-EP?

I'll be a Googlin' nehow.

Like it wasn't in the background already.

Will this make the board more able to process all the trillions of "triggered" comments and "snowflake" remarks?

 

[Marion Morrison]

So from six-core 1366 to 4-core Ivy?

Hmm, I'm not so keen on that.

Six-core 1366 with hyperthreading myrtleizes quadcore Ivy Bridge.

I'll get back witcha on that later, provided I don't get banned.

Just curious, why so light on the amount of RAM?

64GB is plenty. 15k RPM platters? What year is this?

2017, amiright?

Should be 4 m.2 drives in RAID 10

What is it I'm running? Some kinda Devil's Canyon chip @ 4.4 GHz.

It still chugs along,so there's that.
