During the night of Friday 14th/Saturday 15th December, somewhere between 18:00~06:00 GMT, BOINCstats will be down. There will be work on the electrical system in the data center. UPS capacity will we enlarged. As this will be done throughout the data center the downtime may take the better part of the night.
<br /><br />
After the daily update of Friday all automated processes on the BOINCstats servers will be suspended until after the downtime. The result will be that the host update will run late and there will probably be no incremental updates due to this.
<br /><br />
During the downtime BAM! will not work. Your hosts will report connection errors. They will resume connecting to BAM! after 24 hours. The signature banners will also not work.
<br /><br />
All this is necessary because the data center is using more power than the current power infrastructure can provide, resulting in unexpected downtimes like last week.
