Post subject: | Server Upgrade and Downtime |
Update: Servers are back on-line. In January 2008, NukeSilo purchased its current server box, server1 (exciting name, right?). Since then server1 has grown obsolete, running on an Intel Dual 2.66ghz, 75GB hard drive, and having only a gig of ram. While that server has served us well over the past 2 years, hardware has become faster and cheaper and we decided it was time to upgrade. A few days ago, NukeSilo purchased a new server box with a much more interesting name, Fallout. Fallout is running on an Intel Core2Duo 3.00GHz, 2GB of ram, a 150GB hard drive, along with 10GB of network storage for backups. The best part of all this though, is that fallout is $20 cheaper every month than server1. Over the past few days I have configured and setup everything on the new server, and it's now ready to go. The only thing left is to move the ip block from server1 to fallout so the ips all remain the same. Jameson has alerady submitted a ticket to the data center requesting them to do this. Once the ip block has been moved then I just have to login to the box, make sure the ips are configured correctly then click the "start" button and our game servers will roar to life on our new box. However, to make sure we don't have any data loss, we have already pulled the plug on the game servers for our old box. Since it would cost more to keep server1 running after the ip block is moved, and we don't know exactly when the techs will get around to doing it, we thought it would be wise to just stop the game servers and move the last of the data (such as mysql databases which could change while the game servers are running) over to fallout before server1 is taken offline and we can't access it anymore. We don't think it will take longer than 24 hours to move the ip block, but in the mean time the servers are offline. This post will be updated once the servers are back online, however, for the latest information, please join our irc channel (#nukesilo on irc.gamesurge.net, or if you have a forum account, just click on the "Web Based IRC" link just above the general forum section). |

If you see the servers offline its because jameson broke it. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to fix it... anyway, see the post above mine for more info. |

With the new server, I've been able to boost the fps on all our servers. All servers except for TSDM is now running at a solid 500fps. For those wondering, TS encounters problems with complex stunting after 100fps, so we do it not raise it past that point on the TSDM. While this also applies to TSRP, we decided awhile ago stunting is not as important in RP as it is in DM, and the community at that time didn't have any complaints towards keeping the high fps. (Of course if the opinoin on this changes we can always change it). |
