STL-B Power Maintenance July 23 0400 - July 24 0100 GMT
This is a precautionary notification that the local utility company will be working on the community service feed for the STL-B data-center building from July 23 0400 GMT – July 24 0100 GMT). During this window, we will be off utility power and running on generator power. There will be multiple representatives on hand from the utility company, the building operations group, our data-center and Slicehost. We do not expect any customer impact during this window but wanted to relay the notification we received. As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
UPDATE:
No issues thus far, but they have extended the maintenance window an additional 7 hours with plans to resume usage of the community power feed at July 24 0800 GMT.
UPDATE:
All done. Smooth as silk.

So you’re telling me that you got it covered and there is nothing to be worried about? Niice! I knew I liked Slicehost for a reason

Good luck. Thanks for letting us know.

Excellent news. We’ve recently moved some of our production systems to you folks and this was the first nail-biter for us (we had hot backups in place just in case). Congrats on it all coming off smoothly.
