| <li><b> What services will be affected by the outage? <br> | |
| </b> | |
| <p><b>Friday, November 12th, 19:00 EST - Sunday, November 14th, 12:00 | |
| EST </b><br> | |
| <br> | |
| <b>CVS:</b> all CVS operations will be inaccessible for most of the | |
| outage window.</p> | |
| <p><b>Eclipse Web Site:</b> The web site will be in "limp" | |
| mode for the length of the outage; content will be static and will | |
| only serve the purpose of | |
| allowing viewers to reach the downloads and the mirror sites.</p> | |
| <p><b>Bugzilla:</b> all Bugzilla operations will be inaccessible for | |
| most of the outage window.</p> | |
| <p><b>Newsgroups:</b> all Newsgroup operations will be inaccessible | |
| for most of the outage window, including posting messages and reading | |
| archives.</p> | |
| <p><b>Mail: </b>all Mailing operations will be <b>queued</b> for the | |
| length of the outage, so we strongly encourage you to postpone sending | |
| e-mails until the servers are back online. You may receive warnings | |
| that your e-mail was undeliverable. <b>PLEASE DO NOT RESEND YOUR MAIL</b>.</p> | |
| </li> | |
| <p></p> | |
| <hr size="1"> | |
| <li><b>Will I lose any data during the move?</b> | |
| <p> No. The servers will be taken offline and a full backup will be | |
| done to each server, and professional movers will securely transport | |
| the servers to their new location. Access will be restricted to the | |
| servers until we are sure that the move has been successful.</p> | |
| </li> | |
| <p></p> | |
| <hr size="1"> | |
| <li><b>Why are the servers being moved to an ISP? </b> | |
| <p>The Eclipse Foundation is taking over control and responsibility | |
| of the eclipse.org website from IBM. To ensure a consistent high level | |
| of service and availability, the Eclipse Foundation has decided to | |
| host eclipse.org with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). | |
| </li> | |
| <p></p> | |
| <hr size="1"> | |
| <li><b>Will eclipse.org be allocated more bandwidth after the move? It's | |
| often slow to download a drop from the eclipse download servers, especially | |
| after a product release.</b> | |
| <p>No, the new site will have the same amount of bandwidth. We encourage | |
| users to take advantage of the available mirrors during peak times | |
| after a product release.</p> | |
| </li> | |
| <p></p> | |
| <hr size="1"> | |
| <li><b>Will the servers be faster? Often it is is very slow to check out | |
| code from dev.eclipse.org or query the bugzilla bugs database. </b> | |
| <p>No, the existing hardware will be moved to the new location. The | |
| Eclipse Foundation will be installing new servers at a later date. | |
| </p> | |
| </li> | |
| <p></p> | |
| <hr size="1"> | |
| <li><b>Will eclipse.org mail be lost during the transition? </b> | |
| <p>No, it will just be queued until the servers are online again and | |
| then delivered as normal. </p> | |
| </li> | |
| <hr size="1"> | |
| <li><b>Where should I direct infrastructure requests after the transition? | |
| </b> | |
| <p>As usual, please send all questions to webmaster@eclipse.org.</p> | |
