We will be moving mssql5 to new hardware on Sunday night between 9PM and 11:30PM
We are doing this to resolve a number of issues that have happened in the last month where the server would stop responding quickly. This will be completed as quickly as possible, but there will be some downtime in the switchover to ensure data state if reliable.
We are still moving the backup files at the moment so we have them on hand if needed. Not quite complete yet with this process to start full data moves. (SQL Services still up at this time, will post when the process starts)
ok, SQL Server is being stopped to move to the new node now.
Just about done here, just bringing it online.
Completed a number of sites checked and looking to be running really nicely now.
