Extended BOINC Server Outage Planned from 21:30 UTC Jan 13 through 8:00 UTC Jan 14th
We are going to be upgrading our database for the BOINC systems from MySQL 5.0 to MySQL 5.5. There have been substantial improvements in the MySQL database performance between these releases, and as we continue to grow, we need this additional performance.
In order to accomplish this change, we will need to stop all access to the BOINC database during this change. This will allow us to take a clean backup of the database and then upgrade the system. Due to the size of the database, we expect it to take some time to do this upgrade and thus the length of the outage.
During the outage the website and forums will work (except for the result status page which queries the BOINC database). Additionally, clients will be able to update result files and download input files. However, clients will not be able to communicate with the server to report completed results nor obtain new work to process.
Additionally, this change window occurs during the end of day statistics process. We will defer the end of day statistics process until after the database upgrade is complete.
We apologize for the disruption, but it is necessary to support the continued growth in your contribution.
thanks.
大意:
1月13日21:30 UTC——1月14日8:00 UTC，計劃將MySQL由5.0升級至5.5（因為5.5的性能有顯著提升）。屆時，除了網站（不包括統計頁面）和論壇外，全部停機，以便進行數據備份及程序升級。停機期間，客戶端無法下載/上傳任務。請大家做好準備。
