Hi All,

I'll be replacing the server (hosting mertner.com and all associated
services) with a new one this Thursday (16/2).

I expect the process to take anywhere between 4 and 24 hours, but if I
run into serious problems it could be even longer before everything is
back to normal.

I'll be re-enabling services in roughly this order:

o Databases
o Mail
o Subversion
o Apache-based services (mertner.com and other web domains)
o Tomcat-based services (Confluence, JIRA, FishEye)
o FTP and other non-critical stuff

This means that once Apache is online you can check for progress reports
on www.mertner.com. If there are any major delays in bringing the rest
online, I'll notify about them there.

I need a few hardware components from the old server, and thus
unfortunately cannot run both simultaneously. Also, the new server uses
Linux-VServer virtualization, which has complicated the setup a fair
deal, and incidentally also prevented a 1:1 migration of services.

On the upside of all this it should be a lot less painless to upgrade
individual services in the future, not to mention the wicked response
times you should see with the improved hardware setup!

Yours,
Morten
