HOST-C General Downtime 21-SEPT-2024

Hy Guys,

I do not intend to use this forum as a ticket system, but since we are light on KYC, I wish to inform all customers on the General Downtime we will do.

If admins/mods think this is not the place to post this, feel free to delete the tread. :)

Thanks to your continued support, we’ve outgrown our current rack and have successfully secured two adjacent units in the data center. Unfortunately, this expansion requires us to schedule a period of general downtime. While we’d prefer not to take this route, we have no other choice, as a live migration would take weeks and severely impact performance for everyone.

We’ve been granted access to the data center on 21-SEPT-2024 to move all servers, routers, and switches.

We expect the process to take 4 to 6 hours, during which all HOST-C services will be offline.

Once the devices are set up in the new racks, we will immediately start restoring services.

General downtime is scheduled to begin on 21-SEPT-2024 at 08:00 AM Bucharest Time.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

    @host_c said a few months ago:

    @host_c said:
    :) The answer to the WHEN will come shortly.

    I promise to make things interesting on the pre-sale, with the 7USD/MO limit there is, and yes, LES will get it's 10TB Limited Exclusive deal.

    The 5TB Pioneer will come to an end on this pre-sale also. So those that got one, can consider to be among the few that have one.

    But more on this shortly.

    Hmmmmmmm, does it.....................

    Let me study this for a sec..........

    Until then, we appreciate the patience you all had with us today.

    The upgrade and migration went flawless, until shit hit the fan.

    The Fabric Extender refused to communicate with the Nexus N9K we had there, so we had to take the whole RJ45 networking appart and put back the Catalyst Switch we had. This costed us little over 1our.

    Downtime was 5h to 8h for some, not proud of the later number.

    Also, customers that had services on Xeon Gold 6138 (2.0 GHz ) got a free upgrade to Xeon Gold 6148 ( 2.4 GHz )

    Xeon 6130 ( 2.1 GHz ) will follow later the next week for the Xeon Gold 6148 Upgrade.

    Xeon V4 2680 and 2660 got free upgrade to E5-2687W v4 ( 3.0 Ghz ) ( almost all nodes, 2 remained, but those will be decommissioned soon.

    We swapped out some Consumer NVME's we had and replaced it with Dell PM1725. ( I promise you, I/we will not touch another consumer NVME in PRD again, they can have the 5G/sec speed, but they wear out in 3-6 mo )

    I will post pics as promised but we still have a few tickets to reply to, until then...
