Augend will be taken offline tomorrow, July 22 between 1 AM and 2 AM EDT (-0400 GMT) to upgrade memory and storage. During this time the server will be taken offline for approximately 10 – 20 minutes to replace memory and sync drives. A second reboot will be necessary in the coming days to finalize upgrading storage. A memory upgrade is necessary to offload virtual memory pressure caused by nightly backups, which occurs as memory usage swells during file backup verification.
2:44 AM Update: maintenance window is now closed. RAID is rebuilding and should be completed by the morning (ETA ~5 hours)
