Node 500 Emergency RAM Upgrade

  • Tuesday, 8th October, 2024

Tuesday 8 October 2024

Update: 11.51am -
Upgrade complete and server back on line

Update 11.44am - 
Server being pulled from the rack for the RAM Upgrade

Summary of the Problem 10.54am
Node500 on our Enhance Cluster is showing RAM exhausation.  It's the first server we deployed on this system about 12 months ago and we clearly misjudged how RAM hungry Docker, Litespeed and REDIS would be.   We need to double the RAM in this server.  All servers deployed since Node 500 have additional RAM.  This server was on our list to upgrade during our next data centre overnight job run but we need to do it sooner than planned.

The team will be working quickly and downtime should be less than ten minutes.  As the server is currently unstable (due to RAM Exhausation) this will be done in the next 60 minutes and we apologise for calling emergency maintenance during business hours.

Our team in our data centre will complete this work shortly. We truly appreciate your patience.
