On Monday, I'm planning to go into the colocation
facility sometime
around noon my time (New York City time, Eastern time zone) to try to
upgrade to the 'ricky special' kernel to get DMA working on the
remainder of the older 1U machines.
To do this, I have to reboot the machines in turn, changing a bios
setting, and then booting into the proper kernel.
As I understand it, on the apaches when I do this, it will be more or
less seamless for website users.
But for other machines (zwinger, for example) it's more complex. What
should I do? Can someone help me?
For zwinger, we could move the nfs stuff to will, as we have to do. So there wont have a
downtime
For squids, must to switch ip to another squid, time to reload the squid server
For Suda, let it. As we dont need dma with scsi. And when ariel will replace Suda,
we'll be able to reinstall it with a faster scsi array.
