Storage Switch-off
Storage Switch-off
On the 1st of January, 2018, we will be switching off our legacy storage cluster, which was replaced with a significantly improved system on the 17th of July 2017.
Why?
We don't have all the data on the new system yet, so we're still using the old system as a "fallback" - if a vendor attempts to load, and it doesn't exist on the new system, we'll check the old system to see if it exists there, and migrate it over.
However, the old system is unreliable, and this "fallback" means that it still impacts our services when it goes down.
What's the problem?
All of our services are already running on the new system, however, there is an edge case that requires your attention.
Any vendors which are sitting in your inventory and have not been / are not rezzed between 17th of July and 31st of December, 2017 will lose their configuration. This does not affect rezzed vendors in any way!
What do I need to do?
If you aren't using CasperVend, you don't need to do anything. This does NOT affect CasperLet.
- Please rez any configured vendors (such as affiliate vendors) from your inventory.
- Grant debit permissions
- Check that the vendors come online OK
That's all you need to do. Then to clean up the vendors:
- Delete the vendors
- Rez an UpgradeBee and use the "Check All" button
