[COMPLETE 05-06 10:42am] Rolling Restart to deploy Server 1.26.3, April 30 and May 5-6
Update 05-06 10:42am : The 1.26.3 rolling restart is compete.
Update 05-06 07:04am : the second-half rolling restart has begun. All remaining regions on 1.26.2 will be upgraded to 1.26.3 this morning.
Update 05-05 10:38am : the first-half rolling restart is complete.
Update 05-05 07:07am : the first-half rolling restart has begun.
Update 12:24pm : the pilot roll is complete.
Update 11:11am : We had some system problems this morning. While they did not cause any problems with the production Second Life environment, while they were being worked out we deemed it prudent to delay the software deploy. The central servers have been updated, and the pilot rolling restart is now in progress.
We are planning a rolling restart to deploy server 1.26.3 to Second Life. It will follow this schedule:
- April 30, 9-11am : a pilot roll to ~1/10 of the grid (about 3000 regions)
- May 5, 7-11am : Half of Second Life will be restarted
- May 6, 7-11am : The rest of Second Life will be restarted
As with all rolling restarts, once the roll has started there is no way you can delay the restart of your region. Each region will be restarted once during the time of the rolling restart, and will only be down for as long is necessary to restart that region. Most regions will only be down for 5-10 minutes. A few regions will take as long as 20-30 minutes to restart. If your region stays down for longer than 30 minutes, please contact support.
Questions and discussion about the rolling restart will happen in the comment thread of this post on the Release Team blog.
