back in 10!

swapping the hard drive on a database box — be patient, it is a clunky old SAS one

refresh in a bit

heads up

if you came here to pay an invoice, the billing portal lives on a different box, that one is fine. try the link in your most recent email.

if you came here to download last quarter's report, give us a few minutes — you will get a fresh copy soon enough.

when?

started ~14:15 local. should be back well before 15:00. probably 14:45-ish, give or take traffic on the building elevator and how cooperative the SAS sled is feeling today.

  1. shut down old DB process (gracefully, no rude kills)
  2. physically swap the drive in the rack — that is the slow bit
  3. boot the new disk, restore the latest snapshot
  4. verify checksums, hand the keys back to the app
  5. peel this post-it off the door and we are open again
