Mar 10, 2012: After the power failure

"Birds on the wires..." couldn't stop us. We're back.

Mar 10, 2012: Power failure

"Birds on the wires..." was the explanation given for this early morning's power failure. Grid and web site were down. We are in the process of restarting everything. Sorry for the disruption.

Feb 21, 2012: More Farms update

Farms now support tending options. Click on the irrigator to see available options. Currently supported options in include TLC, Watering and Fertilization. Utilizing these options during the tending phase will significantly improve the harvesting output - higher yields, more game credits, resources and ability boosts.

Feb 3, 2012: Farms update

Farm irrigators now have digital displays which show the time remaining for the farm phase. For example, during the Tending phase, which can be quite long, the display indicates the time remaining until the crop can be harvested. Check out Farmination Axis to see this in action.

Dec 31, 2011: OpenSim v0.7.2 upgrade status - oops

Well, it was one of those days. Database moved and installed on the new server. Region servers, code and configuration files all set up and ready to go. Just one reboot to clean up any cache or other system detritus and then all the new version servers can be started in a matter of minutes.
Unless the server fails to reboot...
I am still analyzing the problem but it looks like key server operating system files have been corrupted. This will require a reinstall of the OS and associated systems required to run the OpenSimulator servers. This could be done as early as tomorrow if the hard drive is OK and the OS can be installed without issue.
Logins to old grid available.

Dec 31, 2011: OpenSim v0.7.2 upgrade status

Logins unavailable. The old grid is down and we are migrating the database to the new server. There will be a little database work and then we will begin the restart of all the regions.

Dec 30, 2011: OpenSim v0.7.2 upgrade region migration status

Most of the heavy lifting for the v0.7.2 upgrade has been completed. Today we will begin creating and testing the new region instances for each of the existing regions. This will be done on the alternate grid and shouldn't interfere with normal TG operations. Once that is done we will need to take the old grid down and migrate the database to the new server. When the database has been moved then we will begin the restart of all the regions.

Dec 27, 2011: OpenSim v0.7.2 server upgrade beginning

The v0.7.2 OpenSim upgrade is in full swing. Lots of great features are available with this release.

The schedule for completing the upgrade is as follows:
1. Wednesday, Dec 28: Code upgrade and integration with the TG Green Skies modules
2. Thursday, Dec 29: Database migration and integration, main asset server installation
3. Friday, Dec 30 to Saturday, Dec 31: Region migration and integration

During this time there could be some grid outages. There will definitely be down time as the database is backed up and migrated to the new release. There could be other minor outages as regions are updated and rolled into the new release.
