Voyager Migration to new Shadow server - Dotable

Aussie Bob · 4th July 2008, 02:17 PM

As part of our ongoing Dotable server colocation consolidation process, we are migrating all clients on Voyager server, to a brand spanking new server called Shadow, racked in our new colo facility in LA. This new facility has better bandwidth providers, is better staffed and is a nice upgrade from the current colo. We will be starting this migration in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Shadow server specs are as follows -

Dual Core Dual AMD Opteron (4 x 2.6ghz)
8GB DDR2 ECC RAM
4x250GB SCSI Drives in RAID 10

Test IP - 66.63.184.9

We were going to call it the "Beast" server.

If you use personalised nameservers, then we will be emailing you details of your new nameserver IPs, to update at your domain register for your main WHM domain.

If you don't use personalised nameservers, then you don't need to do anything, as your nameservers will stay the same, as we are porting those nameservers over to the new shadow server.

There will be no downtime involved with this migration, as we will be NAT forwarding the old IPs over to the new server, while you make your nameserver IP changes.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or a drop a ticket into the Dotable helpdesk.

Email seems to be down.

Everything is up ok - Can you let me know what problem you are having?

Josh · 7th July 2008, 02:15 AM

The error message I received wasn't particularly helpful and just said the server was unreachable.

Whatever it was seems to have rectified itself now thanks Steve.

Josh,

Your account had *just* been moved and my scripts to add you in the remotedomains list might not have run yet, (we're talking maybe a few minutes or so) so you got that error.
That's about the only thing I can think of.. is there anything that gets past you Josh

Looks good from here - everything works.
Another great job done, Steve, thanks!
