Michael D. Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hello! We are scheduling a maintenance window for the R2 server on Friday, September 15th at 10 PM ET [GMT-4] to move the server to our new storage platform. We are scheduling this window from 10 PM ET to 2 AM ET and we expect the downtime related to this maintenance to be 2 to 3 hours at most. We will be keeping this thread here on our forums up-to-date as we perform the migration and will answer any and all questions you may have about the migration process here or directly in response to the email I will be sending out shortly to all affected clients. While we do apologize for the length of this maintenance window we are sure that you will be happy with the end result. We have had numerous clients reach out to us after we migrated the R3 server last week to thank us for the upgrade and even a few that only knew it happened because everything was dramatically faster. Should you wish to see more details on why we're performing these migrations as well as some graphs illustrating the performance gains - they can be seen here.

Michael D. Posted September 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 The migration was successful but we are going to restart the server to add more CPU Cores to it [we mistakenly gave it 12 instead of 24]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted September 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 The R2 server has been successfully cloned onto our new storage and is fully online and operational. We are closing this maintenance window. Thank you for your patience!

Michael D. Posted September 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Disk Latency for the R2 server is already substantially lower.  I will update this thread with more graphs once a bit more time has passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lon2 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hello, similarly to the folks on P1 Server, I too have been noticing an increase in page load times and at least 2 Connection Timeouts (one 20min ago) since the migration of R2. Do you think this will get better? PROBLEM AlertMonitor Type: UptimeService: HTTPSURL: (removed)Group Name: DefaultDate/Time: 10-3-2017 07:12:03 (GMT - 7)Alert ID: Alert upon 1 failure(s) from 2 location(s) simultaneously, Alert when fixed.Additional Information: Connection timed out, Host IP 162.244.253.144.Failures From: Japan, US-NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
