Aside from early indications that the router hardware swap was successful last night it seems today that things are depressingly close to the way they were before.
While core01 is running on all new hardware (except power cables and power supply) it was not upgraded. Unfortunately while configuring the new chassis with the Sup720 supervisor and [...]
The poprock webserver has been crashy for a day now, and we’ve been trying to bring it back up. However, it looks like the machine may have some bad RAM, so we’re moving it to different hardware. This shouldn’t take longer than 30 minutes, and it won’t affect email and mysql at all.
Sorry about [...]
We are confident that all the minor issues following the router hardware swap this evening are now resolved. If you are having any issues with your site or email please contact our Tech Support team.
While initial performance looks promising we’ll need another 12-24hours before we will have concrete evidence that the hardware replacement has resolved [...]
We have successfully completed the router hardware swap and services are coming back online.
Most webservers and mail servers are already up and running, there might be a few stragglers that we’ll be working on over the next few minutes.
We’ll post another update once everything is completely up.
The planned network maintenance window for tonight is going ahead in approximately one hour (at 10pm PDT). We will be replacing our entire core router with new hardware during that time.
This maintenance window will entail downtime for all services (HTTP, Mail, SSH, Webpanel, etc…) for approximately 30-60 minutes. We are taking steps to minimize [...]
In order to improve mail server performance, IP addresses of our old mail servers are being disabled. This will only affect customers that are not using DreamHost’s DNS servers ( ns1.dreamhost.com,ns2.dreamhost.com,ns3.dreamhost.com) . To check and see if you are going to need the new information, make sure that either your MX and A records [...]
The router maintenance scheduled for tonight is essentially a complete replacement of our ailing router as well as upgrades of all of the key components. After several weeks of tracking down the issue we (and Cisco) have finally decided the problem is definitely hardware related. After replacing several of the components of the [...]
We’re rescheduling the network maintenance previously scheduled for 8pm PDT Sunday night (Sep. 10) to 10pm PDT Monday the 11th so that we can perform a more thorough upgrade. We will be taking the network down for some fairly invasive central network upgrades, so most everything will be down for the duration. We’re [...]
There is large amount of mail accumulated and waiting to be delivered on one of the machines in your server cluster. This only affects users whose mail is hosted on murdock.dreamhost.com.
The messages are in the process of being delivered. Please allow up to 2 hours for new messages to arrive. This applies also if you’re [...]
Baht went to server heaven. It’s poor components couldn’t take the harsh realities of serving web pages anymore.
