Yeah that is about it.
DNS would be anywhere from 1-10 hours to propagate.

And It will take about an hour to move everything. Should be done and over with shortly after we start. Just allowing lots of time in case any issues pop up.

so, question about the tech behind the transition: i’m operating under the assumption that the new servers are already up at firehost, and the ‘transition’ is going to be:

a) service shutdown at old-datacenter
b) start the DNS propagation
c) filesystem copy to new datacenter
d) database import to new datacenter
e) start the services, by which time the DB import should be caught up

I’m sure there’s more to it; but knowing the core of the operation can inform on the estimated downtime – the email says ‘intermittent downtime, starting wednesday night’ – but i’m trying to manage expectations with management.

thanks
