Taking down the server for a few minutes (< 30) to upgrade some hardware.
Edit: All done.
Iocaine Server Outtages
The Iocaine server is a VM on my main PC. When the PC hard rebooted it corrupted something in the main fishing database and it took a loooong time to get it restored (and we lost some data). I lost a lot of needed sleep so everybody can bot tomorrow...make it count. ^.^b

My connection has been down for about 15 minutes, it's never down this long so no telling how long it will be down. Yay for
Finally getting a smart phone (even if it is for my wife lol).
Edit: Looks like I'm finally back up.

Rebooting to run some experiments. Shouldn't be long.
Edit: Back up. My new server (intel i7 based) runs at ~60 Watts when idle. My old server (intel Q6600) runs at ~175 Watts idle. I can run 12 pol's at once on my new machine and it STILL draws less power than my old one at idle (~160-165 Watts). Can't wait to move the Iocaine server to my new system and keep my office cooler.

I'm setting up a second work station in my office (so the misses doesn't keep kicking me off of my own PC) so I'm doing some rearranging. Which means the server will be up and down here and there while I move things or reroute cables. But it shouldn't be for long at any one time. And probably no more than 3 times total.
Then, at some point in the near future, I'll be moving the server (which is a VM) from one physical system to another. Hopefully that'll just take however long it takes to transfer the VM from one system to another over gigabit. Once that all takes place I don't plan on having any outages for a while. And it should be much more stable. As it has been up til now I'm fairly sure that the Iocaine server has more up-time than the FFXI servers, but hopefully it'll improve. I'll post again before I do that major change (probably Monday night).
Edit: Provided I don't knock any plugs out of the wall we should be back up until I change the system that the server VM is one (I'll post again before hand).

Shutting down the server and moving it to a new system. Not sure exactly how long it will take, but I'm guessing at least an hour. I'll edit the post when it's back up.
Edit: I'm having to shrink the VM volume to fit on the new system's partition, so it's taking a lot longer than expected. May have to break this up into 2 nights.
Edit: I'm going to have to let it run while I sleep. It should come online automatically when it finishes compressing. I'll check it again when I get up and update with whatever I find.
Edit: Back up when I woke up. It all seems to be working for me.

Giving this another shot, hopefully to wrap this up. If all goes according to plan, shouldn't take more than about 15 minutes.
Edit: Posted at 4:07, done at 4:22. Things finally went according to plan for once! I still need to move the ftp server, but that should be transparent to everyone.
