Saturday, June 7th, 2008

[Resolved 1:10pm PDT] - Logins have been re-enabled and the database is feeling much better now. Be gentle, it has a little headache.

Logins have been disabled momentarily to help the database recover. We expect them to re-open within the half hour. You may see some database related issues in the meantime.

[RESOLVED] Logins Closed to Stabilize DB Performance

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

[UPDATE 11:03 a.m. Pacific] Logins have been re-enabled.

We’ve temporarily closed logins to stabilize database performance. We’ll keep you posted on details as they emerge.

[ALL CLEAR] Inworld Services Disrupted

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

[ALL CLEAR 11:43 PM Pacific] Logins are open and the asset system is stabilized.  Please be patient logging in for the next few minutes.  If possible, wait for the first login to complete instead of canceling and retrying, so that you maintain your position in the login queue.

[UPDATE 10:58 PM Pacific] Logins are now Linden-only while Operations repairs the asset system. Please do not attempt valuable transactions until the ALL CLEAR is given.

[UPDATE 10:30 PM Pacific] Operations is continuing to assess the slowdown. They’re sufficiently engaged in the effort that getting more details from them at the moment would be a counterproductive distraction. We’ll ask them for more information when possible, and a follow up post when the slowdown is cleared.

There’s an issue with the asset servers which is interfering with a number of inworld services. It is being investigated, but until the issue is resolved, please refrain from making transactions or rezzing no-copy items.

[RESOLVED 2:13 PM PDT] - The database has been recovered and all services should now perform normally.

We are currently experiencing issues with our database. As such, please refrain from transactions. Slow/problematic logins along with other database related issues may be experienced during this time.

We should be back to normal operation within the hour.
