Subject: Scheduled XVM Outage on weekend of July 20th Dear XVM User, There is a planned maintenance and upgrade of the XVM production hosts on the weekend of July 20th. The maintenance has been scheduled 2013-07-20 12:00:00 EDT to 2013-07-22 06:00:00 EDT. As part of the upgrade, we will be migrating from Xen 3.x to Xen 4.x. As a result, all virtual machines on XVM will be shut down for a short period of time over the weekend to prevent data loss during the VM migration. Once the VMs have been migrated to the updated hosts, we will restart any VMs that were previously running. Further information on the exact outage schedule will be sent out closer to the weekend of July 20th. It is recommended that you shutdown your machine before the maintenance window to ensure that the processes running on your machine terminate correctly. If you are no longer using your machine, we ask that you delete it before the maintenance in order to free up space for other users of our service. Sincerely, XVM Maintainers
