[Updated Friday @ 8:39am] The rolling restart to half of the grid is now complete but for 7 hosts that needed to be manually updated; those will be completed within a few minutes. The rest of the grid will be updated tomorrow morning.
[Updated Thursday @ 7:10pm] We are beginning have completed the deploy of 1.21 to 3 racks (632 regions). Here is a list of regions that as of now are on version 1.21.0.85745.
[Updated Thursday at 12:47pm] We will shortly be deploying have deployed 1.21 to 1 rack (about 170 regions) again. If all goes well, we will continue with the tenative timeline listed in the Wednesday at 8:10pm update below.
[Update Wednesday @ 9:15pm] A slight and subtle wrinkle during the deploy left some object-to-object emails non-functional. The responsible systems have gotten a stern talking to, and this service should be operational again.
[Update Wednesday @ 8:10pm] Another bug was found after we rolled out to one rack. That bug has been found and fixed. We will evaluate exactly what we’re going to do with this deploy after testing tomorrow, but it will likely shift the timeline forward by one day. Meanwhile, we are rolling back the 170 regions that had previously received a 1.21 deploy so that for all simulators are once again running on version 1.20.1 of the server code.
The central updates to 1.21 are complete and things seem “nominal” at the moment, but of course we’ll be watching closely.
- Wednesday 4/23 @ 11am - deploy to 1 rack [DONE] [REVERTED]
- Wednesday 4/23 - update central systems throughout the day [COMPLETE]
- Thursday 4/23 @ 6pm - deploy to 3 racks [COMPLETE]
- Friday 4/25 @ 5am-11am - deploy to half of remaining servers
- Saturday 4/26 @ 5am-11am - deploy to remaining servers
[Update Wednesday @ 10:25am]
The bug in the 1.21 Server code identified last night during an initial rollout to 1 rack has been found, fixed, and verified. We’d planning to proceed with the rollout to avoid delaying the code update another week. On the table for today are the central services updates and limited rolling restarts.
What’s Changed in 1.21 Server
The most notable fixes will be physics-related, and have been in testing in the Beta Preview for several days. No new viewer is required.
