[App_rpt-users] AllStar Network Maintenance Announcement

[Pierre Martel]

Thanks for the hard work of all the team to keep Jim's vision of the
network alive and even thriving.

This is not just a thank you just to be well seen on the group. I am no
more in charge of any repeater. But I still follow the scene as I beleive
it is the best, powerfull and flexible solution to repeater control and
linking.

Long live Allstarlink!

> Summary
>
>    During the evening on Sunday August 12, 2018 between 0400 to 0600 UTC,
>    the AllStar Operations Team will perform a migration of registration and
>    nodes servers.  During this time, registration may be unavailable,
> and/or
>    the portal may be unavailable via the website and via phone.
>
>    We expect this migration to be completed in two hours time or backed
> out.
>
> Detailed notes
>
>    AllStarLink is committed to the availability of our core network
>    services. That's why we are migrating registration onto a modern server
>    system.  Our current server is about 9 years old and while we've seen no
>    failures of hardware, prudent engineering dictates it must be replaced
>    with newer hardware.
>
>    The current server does much more than IAX registration of nodes;
> there's
>    database, web portal, SIP access, proxy, nodelist generation and more.
>    Many of these functions are not core network functions, meaning if the
>    function is down, users can still register nodes and connect to other
>    nodes.  An example of this is the stats server, or the web portal.
> Either
>    can be offline, but the network will still function.
>
>    The Operations Team has built and tested a new registration server and
>    new nodes servers which serve up the extnodes database files. Our team
>    has been testing this for the last few months internally, and believes
>    it's ready for production.  We expect a much faster convergence time for
>    node registration due to our new faster servers, better scripting and
>    lighter load the servers.
>
>    Our testing includes all major and historical AllStar versions, dating
>    back to limey linux and ACID.  We know many users have older hardware
>    installed on a mountain or other inaccessible site, and requiring a node
>    upgrade is not feasible.
>
>    Any users requiring un-interrupted service between AllStar nodes are
>    encouraged to use permanent linking and/or statically define nodes in
>    their rpt.conf [nodes] section.
>
> Additional information
>
>    A MOP or Method of Procedure is in-place for this maintenance with clear
>    go/no-go steps and a back-out plan should we find any insurmountable
>    problems.  An update will be posted to the app_rpt mailing list once
> this
>    is completed.
>
>    The AllStarLink app_rpt mailing list provides a discussion forum and
>    access to the admin and development teams.  We encourage all users to
>    join and participate.
