Scheduled Maintenance Announcement - Hsphere Control Panel Upgrades- Saturday 23:30PM CDT

[SachinK]

Parallels has announced a critical update for Hsphere 3.6.0 various packages that affect Control panel, Linux Web, phpMySQL and phpPgSQL services.

We will be performing a control panel upgrade with latest update starting at 23:30 PM CDT on Saturday, October 13th, 2012.

After this Upgrade features that will be made available are :-
PHP 5.3 to 5.3.17
BIND to 9.6-ESV-R7-P3
phpMyAdmin to 3.4.11.1
phpPgAdmin to 4.2.3
JDK for Linux to 1.6 Update 35

We will be performing this Upgrade process for Control Panel, Linux Web, Mysql and PgSQL Server.
Windows Web and MSSQL Servers will not be effected at all as this upgrade is essential for Linux Servers only.

Upgrade Process:-
====================
In the first phase of process, we'll do upgrade of Control Panel Server itself, this will involve the control panel services being completely down for about 3-4 hours.

Control panel will again be intermittently down at various times during the rest of upgrade process.

Linux web, Mysql and PgSQL servers will be updated next.
Estimated Webservice downtime is 30-60 minutes per Linux webserver.
phpMyAdmin and phpPGAdmin Services will be effected during Mysql and Pgsql server upgrade.


All the overview updates for this process will be made available on this support forum thread, mainly master control panel updates :-
