[RESOLVED] Planned Database Maintenance: Feb 12, 2009
[07:13AM Pacific] Database Maintenance is now resolved.
[07:00AM Pacific] Logins have been re-enabled. XStreet SL has been temporarily disabled for maintenance.
[05:15AM Pacific] Scheduled maintenance is going as planned.
[04:15 am PST] The xStreet marketplace will also be disabled for the duration of this maintenance.
[12 February 09 04:06 am PST] The scheduled maintenance is under way.
[BUMP 11 February 09 2:20 Pacific] Just a reminder that this is still planned for tomorrow (Thursday) morning. We’ll keep you posted with any unexpected developments or changes to the scheduling or scope.
[UPDATE 9 Feb 09 4:50 pm Pacific]
The scope and schedule for this downtime has changed.
We’ll be disabling logins, registration, regAPI, and the Land Store at 4am Pacific Thursday morning (an hour earlier than originally announced), and extending the scheduled outage until 8am Pacific.
Residents in world at the time the maintenance begins will not be asked to log out; however, services such as mapping, teleporting, L$ and asset transactions will be unavailable during the maintenance window. In addition, XML-RPC calls to LSL scripts will be blocked.
Local voice, local chat, and other on-region activities will not be affected.
We’re aiming for a significantly briefer downtime than we’ve scheduled. We’ll keep you posted here and on Twitter.
*****
We are planning to close access to Second Life for approximately one hour on Thursday, February 12th at 5:00 a.m. Pacific.
Much like the downtime a week or two ago, on January 22nd, residents who are already in world will not be bumped offline. However, there will be a degradation in performance, as access to the database will be blocked, so transactions, teleporting, asset management and actions requiring a database call will not be available. Movement within a region, chat, and voice will all remain available during the database migration.
We’ll keep you posted throughout the downtime of progress, and of any changes to the schedule.
