We’re continuing the process of upgrading our MySQL database servers from the 5.5 series to the MySQL 5.6 series (specifically, from version 5.5.54 to 5.6.36).
The upgrade requires that each Web server be taken offline for approximately 60 seconds, causing brief scheduled “downtime”.
Over the next few days, we’ll be updating these web servers:
- Wednesday May 3, 10:00-11:59 PM Pacific: servers ending in digit “5” (completed)
- Thursday May 4, 10:00-11:59 PM Pacific: servers ending in digit “4” (completed)
- Friday May 5, 10:00-11:59 PM Pacific: servers ending in digits “2” and “3” (completed)
- Saturday May 6, 10:00-11:59 PM Pacific: servers ending in digits “0” and “1” (completed)
(Servers ending in digits 6-9 have already been updated.)
