Extended Maintenance on Tuesday

Posted 13th Oct 2008 08:37 AM by Leviathonlx

As expected Blizzard is taking the realms down for a very long extended maintenance on Tuesday for patch 3.0.2. With this patch will come the new talents, barbershops, Stormwind Harbor and many other things to help prepare for the launch of WotLK come November 13th.

I love people who have no idea how a deployment works, let’s see:
1. You need to backup the whole server, in case something goes wrong
2. You need to modify the database, and keep all current information, where necessary, apply database optimizations that are DB specific.
3. There is a great chance the upgrade involves hardware changes to support all the new features in the software
4. You need to update the software (the easiest part of the process)
5. You need to test all and make sure it works
6. You need to have enough time for the "Oh ****" situations

As I know how difficult small applications are deployed, I don’t think 12 hours is an exagerated period of time.

It takes about 2-4 hours per server and they stagger them over the maintenance window, thats why it sometimes finishes early or later.
