Server Maintenance

During this window, I will be attempting to migrate the server data to a new location, hopefully resolving the timeout issues with the DTP and some Dimensions.

To avoid issues with data loss for anyone who registers, changes their inventory survival etc I will be disabling registration and closing survival. The following dimensions will be open on the backup server using the data at the time of the start of the migration:

  • Rift
  • Items
  • Zombies

The following will be offline during the migration:

  • Survival
  • PvP
  • PvE
  • DTP
  • Build

Even though Zombies will be running, map makers should not attempt any edits of their maps in any way.

The migration consists of:

  1. Disabling registration on Rift backup server
  2. Pointing t.dark-gaming.com to backup server
  3. Closing all non-backup dimensions
  4. Saving data
  5. Starting a new DB server with saved data
  6. Updating all dimensions, services and DTP to point to new DB
  7. Starting all main server dimensions
  8. Pointing t.dark-gaming.com to main server
  9. Turning off old DB server
  10. Posting announcement of maintenance complete

Completed.

Initial test of all dimensions + services seems good. If there are any issues as a result of this maintenance that I have missed, they can be dealt with individually and usually without disruption of other services.
