Eclipse.org Infrastructure Migration
The Eclipse Foundation will soon begin a
hardware migration.
The key goals of this migration are to move the existing eclipse.org
infrastructure
to powerful new servers, as well as reorganize the technical layout of
the resources. We want to make sure that everyone is aware of the key
dates,
because there will be impacts on the site's availability as the
transition
is done.
We are planning on moving in three phases. The first phase will involve
installing the backend servers and transition the Bugzilla and Download
servers to the new environment. This will also allow us to test our new
server backend while allowing for the least impact on the community,
because
downloads will continue to be available from our mirrors. In the second
phase we will move the web server and the newsgroups, and in the third
phase, the remaining servers will be migrated, including our mailing
lists
and CVS.
Questions about this migration can be directed to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx.
Key Dates:
Sunday, February 20, 2005 - Phase I: Install backend servers and
transition download and bugzilla servers
Saturday, February 26, 2005 - Phase II: Transition the web server
Saturday, March 26, 2005 - Phase III: Transition dev.eclipse.org,
the mailing lists and CVS
Phase I - Planned outage.
In this phase, the central infrastucture for eclipse.org will be put in
place, as well as the Bugzilla and Download services. The projected
outage
will begin on Saturday, February 19th at 11:59pm EST and complete by
Sunday,
February 20th 11:59pm EST. During the outage, eclipse.org services will
be affected as follows:
- Bugzilla and the Main Eclipse Download
server will be
unavailable.
- CVS, Mailing lists and newsgroups will be
unaffected.
- www.eclispe.org will be unaffected.
- Mirror synchronization will be
unavailable. We apologize
for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience during the
transition!
