We experienced some delays while the Oregon State Datacenter (SDC) addressed administrative issues for onboarding, but we finally received badge access this week<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">!</span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Below is a summary of the next steps and a rough timeline:</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"> - Fiber trunk installed between LinkOregon and our racks in the SDC: Scheduled for 12/3/2025.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"> - New 40Gbps fiber link added in Corvallis: This link to LinkOregon, dedicated to the pseudo-wire between the two sites, is active and ready but not yet configured.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"> - Install new 100G switches and set up pseudo-wire in SDC: Will be done after the racks and fiber trunk are completed.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"> - Setup initial network switches and OSL servers in SDC: Starting this week.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Once networking is established, we will prioritize server migrations in batches to ensure service availability:</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">1. MySQL, Postgresql, DNS, and other OSL utility systems</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">2. OpenStack controller nodes (x86/ppc64le/aarch64)</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">3. OpenStack hypervisor nodes (x86/ppc64le/aarch64)</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">4. Ceph nodes (x86/ppc64le)</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">5. Ganeti hypervisor nodes</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">6. Project Co-Located equipment</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Most servers are set up for high availability, so downtime should be minimal. However, some OpenStack hypervisor nodes use local storage; VMs hosted on these nodes will likely be offline for the duration of their move (up to 8 hours). We will send a separate email when those moves are scheduled.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">While we do not anticipate significant moving this month, the goal is to move most of the internal OSL infrastructure over the coming weeks. Pending that progress, we hope to begin project co-location moves in January. We will reach out to individual projects once a schedule is finalized.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><i><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"></span><b><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"></span>Please note that our capacity to work on tickets will be reduced during these moves.
