[Complete 09/13 06:00am] Rolling Restart to deploy server version 1.24.5, Wed-Fri, Sep 10-12
Update 09/13 06:00AM : 1.24.5.96115 is everywhere on the grid now.
Update 09/13 05:05AM : We are going to revert the pilot group from 1.24.5.96378 to the more-stable 1.24.5.96115 that is on the rest of the grid, beginning shortly.
Update 09/12 08:47AM : The second-half rolling restart completed about 45 minutes ago.
Update 09/12 05:22AM : The second-half rolling restart is now beginning.
Update 09/11 10:15PM : the first-half rolling restart is complete.
Update 09/11 07:51PM : based on a slightly higher crash rate for 1.24.5.96378, we will be deploying the previous version (1.24.5.96115) as 1.24.5 to the entire grid. The first-half rolling restart is beginning now.
Update 09/11 01:00PM : the pilot group of ~3000 regions as been updated to 1.24.5.96378.
Update 09/11 05:13AM : our Brighton developers fixed a couple of more small bugs, the patches for which we want to get into the 1.24.5 update. We are going to put those two fixes through QA today, and redo the pilot roll. That puts us on this schedule:
- 09/11 before noon : redo the pilot roll to the same group of ~3000 regions
- 09/11 7-11pm : a rolling restart of half of the regions in Second Life
- 09/12 5-9am : a rolling restart of the rest of Second Life
Update 09/10 09:57PM : the pilot roll to ~3000 regions is complete.
We will be deploying server version 1.24.5 to Second Life this week. This version includes no new major features, but fixes bugs with the current 1.24.4 server that is on Second Life. More details of what’s been changed can be found on the Second Life Wiki’s release notes page for 1.24.
This rolling restart will follow our usual three-stage deploy:
- Wed, 09/10, 9pm : A pilot group of ~3000 regions will be restarted.
- Thu, 09/11, 5-9am : Half of Second Life will be restarted.
- Fri, 09/12, 5-9am : The remainder of Second Life will be restarted.
As with all rolling restarts, each region will receive warnings starting 5 minutes before they are restarted. No region should stay down more than 10 or 20 minutes; if your region stays down longer than 20 minutes, please contact support.
Further discussion of the 1.24.5 server deploy can be found in this thread in the Second Life forums.
