[KORG] Master backend downtime - hardware swap

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hey everyone,

Just a heads up to everyone, I'm going to be taking the master (hera) backend server offline for a couple of hours tomorrow (Friday, CST) afternoon. Downtime is going to get used for finishing flipping over the master to new hardware, which was very generously donated by Hewlett-Packard. We are moving up to a new DL380 G5. That said I will need time to shut everything down, get a current rsync from the old hardware to the new hardware and confirm that serves are restored on the new machine.

I'm expecting the entire downtime to only take a couple of hours, but since we all know things will take longer I'm going to declare the window from 1200 CST (1800 UTC Friday Nov 7th). Expect the window to run through 2000 UTC, and if things are up and running before that I'll let people know. Otherwise if there are problems you'll see another e-mail from me.

If you have questions, comments, concerns, etc - please send them to me CC ftpadmin@kernel.org
