W3bbo Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Just a heads-up: I'm moving my servers that the xpize/Vize/Anolis websites are hosted on to another datacentre today. I don't expect the downtime to last more than the 20 minutes or so it'll take to physically move them (it's literally down the road from the existing DC).I'll see if I can post photos of the move too.

W3bbo Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 The move has been completed; it took longer than anticipated because the second server took a while to shut down (for reasons unknown). Setting up at the new DC also took longer as WS2008 doesn't accept plug-in USB hardware during logon so I had to use the onscreen keyboard.Everything should be running like it was before, if there are any problems post them here.I took photos of the move on my camera, but I'm not near a computer with a CF slot and I didn't bring my camera cable so you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

W3bbo Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 I wasn't able to take as many photos as I'd have liked (since y'know, I was there to move the servers).The photos don't really give you the impression you get when you walk in there, Synergy House is a large DC (compared to the smaller Tier 1 places you see around), it's a 7000 square feet facility with the usual mod-cons and redundant facilities. It's also very loud (imagine a couple million quid's worth of servers filled with fans, yeah).They're here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/w3bbo/sets/72157619757905347/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
