Dear Valued Customer,

This email is to notify you of the upcoming scheduled maintenance window which will be performed on Monday, June 19th @ 11:45PM ET (GMT -04:00). During this maintenance window, we will be replacing the Routing Engine in our network's border router. This replacement is a follow-up to the emergency maintenance we had performed on June 3rd.

During the maintenance window, please expect intermittent network connectivity issues for up to 30 minutes. While the replacement is a straight-forward process, it does require the router to be rebooted a few times.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at support[at]fluidhosting.com should you have any further questions/concerns regarding this scheduled maintenance work.

Sincerely,
System Administrators,
Fluid Hosting, LLC

New Routing Engine installed. Juniper is booted from the CF Card. Network is currently up and running.

We will partition the current Hard Drive on the new Routing Engine, copy CF card to the hard drive, and we will reboot Juniper once again. The HD will serve as secondary boot device. There will be another 5-10 minutes of network outage once again.

It turns out Juniper does not need to be rebooted again. Which means, we are all set now. Total downtime is roughly about 15 minutes.

This scheduled maintenance has been completed. Thank you!

Total downtime for me according to Host-Tracker was ~25 minutes on web3 and ~14 minutes for mail2. Does this sound about right?

It depends on what time interval you use to monitor. But all servers/service whould have the same amount of downtime as the network was up and down at the same time for all servers/services.
