…o the CDN system. This week whatever they are doing that requires multiple restarts is ongoing. The main reason for no updates is the hardware updating requiring the restarts scheduled for this week. Estimating time for any individual update or the group is difficult as Simon says, “We also have to actually open up the server box and look inside to see if it needs an update, so it’s random how long each one takes. This shouldn’t do anything grid-w… Continue reading
…them Izzy Linden says Group Chat problems can be reported and chat server restarts by anyone. That may or may not help. But, support personnel should be familiar with this problem and take the report from anyone and forward it to engineering. The process of restarting a chat server is unusually slow as the engineers are collecting data before the server is restarted. So, phone and web reporting will result in a restart in about the same time, qui… Continue reading
…s about 6 to 7 minutes. But, regions are doing double restarts. The region restarts but comes back online with the same version as before the restart. Then an hour or so later restarts again then comes up running the new version. Some region owners have noticed this duel restart cycles for the last 6 weeks or so. I think Lucia Nightfire will be filing a JIRA with logs from the recent restarts. If you have logs of your region’s double restart, plea… Continue reading

…2012] Some regions are taking longer than normal to work their way through restarts this evening. In addition, they’re reporting higher-than-normal spikes in performance and viewer instability. Our engineers have done the preliminary work tracing the problem and will be forming a team early tomorrow to fully diagnose and correct it. Tonight, please file a “region offline” service request as needed for any region which remains inaccessible to you f… Continue reading
…b runs one region per simulator and multiple simulators per server. Region Restarts Some people are seeing random region restarts. If you are running into it, file a JIRA and consider starting a forum thread. Sudden Massive Lag It was hoped this problem would be resolved by the last rollout to the main channel. I am not sure it was, but I haven’t been in SL enough over the holidays to have a sense of whether it was fixed or not. However, today Toy… Continue reading
…ll see lots of region restarts. See: Critical OS Software Upgrade — Region Restarts Regions will see at least 2 restarts and if unlucky 3. Uptime In the main and release channels regions are restarted once per week. However, on the preview gris uptime can be long. Andrew Linden checked the numbers for a group of ADITI simulators and found uptime to be 519 days. The common uptimes on ADITI are 519, 375, and 192 days. Mono Scripts It seems the Mono… Continue reading
…is extensive. Parcel can’t be rolled back, only entire regions. Wednesday Restarts This is changing a bit. Wednesday restarts for the release channels will be starting around 7:00 AM SLT/PT. Magnum is updated first, then Blue Steel, then Le Tigre. There will be no pauses in between. The restart window is 7:00 to 11:00 AM SLT/PT. The Calendar schedule is sort of a …hint. Said another way, Blue Steel, Le Tigre, and Magnum will be upgraded sometime… Continue reading
