ibiblio services/changes announcement list

[Jonathan Mills <jonmills AT metalab.unc.edu>]

Just as an update, because I keep getting questions about it, but mysql2.ibiblio.org will *not* be affected by the migration to take place Thursday morning.  If your database is on mysql2.ibiblio.org, you may safely ignore these messages.

Thanks

Dear ibiblio users:


This notice is to inform you of our plans to go forward with our migration of mysql.ibiblio.org from the current server to our new one.  We are planning to do this on Thursday, February 2, at 1:00 AM.  The procedure may take as long as 30 or 45 minutes, during which time mysql.ibiblio.org will be unavailable.  We ask for your patience during that time.


Note:  no user interaction will be required.  The change should be entirely transparent on your end.  After the migration, requests sent to mysql.ibiblio.org will get routed to the new server, such that you will not need to alter the server address in any of your scripts.


On a side note, ibiblio would like to thank IBM for the new database server.  It's an xSeries 366, quad-Xeon, with 16 gigs of RAM.  We hope you'll notice the difference in speed.  http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/x366.html


Thanks!
