[May 22 2017] - 2 hour planned outage [complete]

Post by **Red Squirrel** » Sun May 21, 2017 7:16 pm

Some time tomorrow I will be doing some renovations that will involve moving some fibre optic wiring around which will cause a shard outage. I don't plan to actually take the shard down, so normal stuff like plants, idocs etc will continue to cycle as normal but you won't be able to connect. I will probably have to reboot it after as the shard IP list only gets updated at startup and the IP will probably change. I will update this post ahead of time when I'm about to pull the plug, and if anyone is online I'll give a warning in game too to give time to retreat.

I have not really decided on a time, I may even do it really late tonight, but I will update the post when I get to it. Basically I'm insulating my basement and I need to completely remove the ONT equipment that's on the wall so I can put the insulation and vapour barrier behind it. I will probably relocate it to another area at same time since it's currently in the hot aisle and it's really tight back there.

It will probably take less than 2 hours but figured that's a safe window to set.

Uhh the current downtime is not me, not sure what happened (its internet not the shard itself) so I will investigate then do the move after.

Ok so there is an Internet issue in my area, funny timing since I was making changes in my firewall the other day so it had me worried. Not sure of etr, but I will proceed with move anyway in about an hour.

Started on the job. Turns out I cant move it since I foamed over the fibre. Ooops. So going to install vapour barrier and put it back.

Outage is now complete, shard is back up!

I was unable to move the ONT to a new location but still had to temporary remove the plywood and ONT off the wall so I can insulate and add vapour barrier behind it, so did that and then put it back where it was. All is good.

Pics for those curious: (kinda tight behind there)

Need to finish that wall but will do that another day. Just wanted to get the part where the ONT is over with.
