RAM Upgrades!
The following three servers will have their RAM upgraded within the next 15 minutes:
zim, barranca, rosecrans
zim and barranca both need their BIOS flashed before they will accept the new RAM. This means about 10 minutes of downtime for each. rosecrans should only be down for about 5 minutes.
Check this space for updates.
- UPDATE Wed Jul 11 18:07:43 PDT 2007 -
All servers have been upgraded and are back up and running!

Wow, what kind of servers/cases do you have? Thats quick. Do you open the case before you shut the machine down? I’m very interested to know how you do so many of these things so quickly. I am certain that practice and skill are very much a part of the process.

10 mins isn’t slow, but it’s not breakneck speed either. It’s hardly a complicated procedure.
I’m not criticizing them, just commenting

Really i’m sorry a lot, but next year i won’t be hosted on Dreamhost. It has a lot of much great utilities, like cron jobs, one-click-installs, bash, and a lot of much things, but uptime is around 70%. Less utilities and more uptime, please, PLEASE!!

I DEMAND A “MESSAGE” WHEN SERVER IS SHUTDOWN, something like: YEAH, WE ARE DREAMHOST, SERVER SHUTDOWN OR PROBLEMS AGAIN. Some message IS NEEDED.

DSK, that is terrible on DH’s part. Make sure you have submitted a real support request with them via the DH panel. I would also suggest using BlueHost or getting a VPS plan. Problem with VPS is that it gets very expensive quickly with many domains.

Oh and BTW the badillo host is TOTALLY dysfunctional too. Funny how all the downtimes for badillo are NEVER posted on this status blog.

Quit pressuring them, they are frantically moving about and tripping over wires and such, causing problems on other servers.

Sholsinger: We use pretty standard supermicro 1u rack mount cases. Halt the machine, unplug cables, unscrew one front hold-it-in-the-rack screw, slide out on rails, pop top, ram->in, top on, reverse process, server turns on as soon as power is restored for automated bootup!
Cable management arms are for wusses! (And people with fancy-pants servers that have hot-swap ram/pci/cpus.) Amusingly, the longest part of the process is shutdown and bootup. The actual ram installation itself takes ~90-120 total seconds.

OK ok.
