Who is affected

Colocated servers, especially remus.koumbit.net, hesiode.koumbit.net, alexandria.koumbit.net and metis.koumbit.net.

When

Today september 16th, between 17:45 and 18:15, EDT (-0400).

What will happen

The server hosting one the virtual servers resolving DNS for the cabinet (209.44.112.71, recurse2.koumbit.net) will be replaced, provoking a short outage of around 30 minutes of this service. The other server (209.44.112.70, recurse.koumbit.net) should continue to perform regular service and we therefore believe that this will have minimal impact on the infrastructure.

Why

The server (remus.koumbit.net) is approaching end of life and needs to be replaced. It will be transformed into a massive backup server (alexandria.koumbit.net).

How

Koumbit members can read the details of the operational report. Note that remus.koumbit.net will now be named metis.koumbit.net. We will also put a new web node online name, hesiode.koumbit.net.
