Barry Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi guys, I just wanted to let everyone know that we will be upgrading the server to add more CPU power, more RAM, more back up space and more Disc Space! This will help speed up the forums and prevent sql crashes as the forum continues to grow! The upgrade will be June 5th, 2015 at 1am...it should be completed in 5-6 hours. You will experience a system outage during the scheduled time frame. As always, there may be a few bugs after a big upgrade like this but we will be watching for them and fixing anything that isn't right after the upgrade. Sorry in advance for any inconveniences but this is a big step in bringing the server up to modern terms!

Barry Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 It should be smooth...the data and settings are all copied over from the old drives so nothing really changes other than the hardware. 1 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40321-scheduled-forum-upgrade-short-outage/#findComment-292202 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Will the upgrade make it more friendly to WIN8.1 and IE11? Nothing is friendly when it involves computers!

Popular Post Barry Posted June 5, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2015 The upgrade is done and everything looks GOOD! The site seems to be pretty quick after doubling the disc space and RAM memory not to mention an all new state of the art CPU processor! Everyone enjoy that new server smell! 4 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40321-scheduled-forum-upgrade-short-outage/#findComment-292375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Upgrade? Something changed?? Oh........okay LOL!! Looks like it is still all here, that's a good thing.

Barry Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Nothing changed...we just added more power!! (And more disc space) Kinda like dropping an E9 under the hood of a B-Model!! I still have a minor theme error to fix...it might cause a hiccup or two but should be fixed shortly. Don't be surprised if you see an sql error. It is normal for this stuff...LOL! 1 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40321-scheduled-forum-upgrade-short-outage/#findComment-292393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
