Comprehensive system update on Tuesday 2011-03-01 20:00 CET

On Tuesday next week we will perform a regular but comprehensive system update on all of our servers in the computing centre Oberhausen. Unfortunately we are not able to avoid downtime of services as the operating system updates will require a reboot of the systems.

Due to that, all services will be affected for periods during the time frame of 8pm CEST until midnight. CEST. We expect the interruptions of each individual service to be short.

We perform updates to sustain a secure, modern, and highly productive environment and to provide you with new features.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the update and will gladly respond to any questions you have. To contact us, send an email to support@gocept.com.


Update 2011-03-02 08:00

The update unfortunately required more fine-tuning than expected from the development and staging environments. We are currently in the process of rebooting the last servers and expect all services to be back to normal until 09:00 CET.

Storage server failure on 2011-02-17

Today we experienced a failure of the iSCSI storage server between 09:36 and 10:00 CET. This caused short service interruptions on some VMs. There was also a short outage of our mail server (mail.gocept.net), but no mails were lost.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
