This is the week it all has to happen as our current servers will be shutdown on Saturday. As some of you know a lot of the operation has been moved - image server, mobile site server and part of the mapping server. So the rest goes this week.

Here is a rough schedule:
Monday (Business Hours) - Move smaller databases - should have no effect on ExplorOz
Monday (Evening) - Migrate Forum, Blogs and Events database. Will cause shutdown of these systems. Expect to start 8PM WST (10PM EST).
Tuesday (Business Hours) - Move all connections to the new web server so all connections to ExplorOz will then be via AWS.
Tuesday (Evening) - Migrate Places database. Will cause shutdowns to Places, Treks and most mapping type functions. Start 8PM WST (10PM EST).
Wednesday (Business Hours) - Move other sites to AWS (itbeyond and other client sites).
Wednesday (Evening) - Migrate final ExplorOz database. This will cause site shutdown for several hours start 8PM WST (10PM EST).

By now I will be tired and hoping it is all working ok. If any of these planned operations fail it will put me back to the next day so the schedule will slide towards Friday. I hope this schedule is workable and that my 6 weeks of planning gets us through. If I am really stuck Thursday Evening and Friday would be the targeted downtime.

I will update this post as we go. I am working on the systems all the time so there could be some minor hiccups. Anything major please email me direct david at exploroz.com but I will most likely know about it anyway.
