heads up on humbaba virtual machine move Sept 16th 2016

turnip

just a heads-up...
Humbaba virtual machine is being moved by Digital Ocean,
due to "an issue with the physical machine...".
Sept 16th 3:00 UTC.
anywhere in a four hour window (3 to 7 UTC).

"and you can expect about 1 minute of downtime per GB"
which is 20 minutes for Humbaba.
which is strange because I have seen them move virtual
machines in 5 minutes in previous instances.

Once migrated it should come back on-line without issue.

Humbaba is used for the alpha game web
and the Eleven Forums https://humbaba.elevengiants.com.
If you are already in the game it may still work while Humbaba
is undergoing the move.

For some reason, I first read this as 'Harambe Virtual Machine' lol

Well live migrations of VMs don't take that long, but well, if the root cause of the problems with your current hardware is a faulty RAID-controller (BBU expired or whatever), the disk performance might be not the best right now...
