Aurorashow.com website & forum maintenance

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   We're in the process of consolidating and moving our servers to a new datacenter.  As a result, this website and forum may be up and down during the next week.  Depending on how your Internet provider handles their DNS cache, you could experience anywhere from 30 minutes to several days of 'forum blackout'.  We expect the largest downtime to occur over this weekend. Everything should be back to normal by the end of next week.

	Well, that was painless - on this end at least.

	I like the "on this end at least" part About 10 years of infrastructure was just rearranged, cosolidated, migrated, and shipped to another state. I've had better weeks. Our previous infrastructure was more suited to the Internet of 1999 than that of 2010. The changes bring us 6.5 times the network capacity at 1/6 the previous cost.

	I've been there - and soon will be again. The "genius" that initially set up the network at my workplace never took into account that we would possibly exceed 250 addresses. Yup.... only about 20 remain, and the gigabit network is acting like a 10/100. This became painfully obvious when we began installing the equipment for the final phase of the HD upgrade (we were SD). Darn near every piece of hardware requires a static IP (or two!) to operate fully. So am going to have create a few extra subnets and set up a couple extra Cisco routers (shudder) then manually change the static IPs on a bunch of machines. The goal being to assign a subnet to each "group" of computers - Engineering, Sales, News, Production, etc. Then hopefully won't have to tinker with the VPNs to make them work again.
