Update 1125 UTC: Just a heads up that this maintenance will be starting in 5 minutes

Date: Saturday April 7 2012
Start Time: 11:30PM NZST

During this maintenance we will be moving all of our machines at the Auckland datacenter on to new Power Distribution Units (PDUs). As there have been concerns over the reliability of the PDUs we have decided to replace them with a more reliable unit.

This involves stopping all running VPSs, powering down the physical hosts and then having them plugged into the new PDUs.

During this time all servers will be unavailable.

The actual change over to the new PDUs is estimated to take 5-15 minutes. It may take 20-45 minutes for the physical hosts and VPSs to start up after that.
