Subject: [ensembl-announce] Changes to the ensembldb.ensembl.org
hardware
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dear Ensembl/Mart users,
On Wednesday morning next week (14th Feb approx 9am GMT) we will
be making changes to the ensembldb.ensembl.org MySQL instance
to improve the quality of the service.
We will be replacing the current servers with more powerful hardware
and splitting the databases over more than one machine.
To achieve this there will be a planned outage of approximately 1
hour when the old hardware is replaced by new hardware.
Once this new hardware is in place there will be a change to the way
Mart databases are served.
All Ensembl mart databases that we serve externally will be served by
martdb.ensembl.org
on port 3316
If you connect to any of these databases you will need to update
your martRegistry to reflect this.
To ease transition the latest 3 Ensembl Marts (40, 41 & 42) will be
retained on the ensembldb.ensembl.org until the 43 release comes on
line at the end of the month.
**********************************************************************
* If you access these databases directly you will need to update *
* and rebuild your registry file. *
* *
* BioMart V0.4 - update martRegistry.xml remove martconfig.packed *
* and restart the ensembl webserver to rebuild martconfig.packed *
* *
* BioMart V0.5 - update your registry file and run bin/configure.pl *
* with the --clean switch *
**********************************************************************
We hope this will minimise the "12" errors people have been seeing
recently
Yours
The BioMart team + the Ensembl webteam
