We're going to perform a VMware upgrade on MrWhite this weekend.

The machine will get upgraded from VMware ESXi 3.5 to ESXi 4.0 . Due to the upgrade we have to shut down the running virtual machines for several hours meaning all our web, irc, monitoring, voice, mail and other services will be unavailable during this period. The game servers will also temporary go down but only for 5 minutes. Once they come back up they will not be connected to the database and thus all SpA point features etc will not be available during this time.

We'll perform the upgrade somewhere between Saturday night and Sunday morning or between Sunday night and Monday morning.

Update:
VMware has been upgraded succesfully.

Update 2:
We'll perform some extra maintenance on the server tomorrow morning so we can start using some of the new features introduced in VMware ESXi 4.0
