We need to perform an unavoidable software upgrade on the host server
for svlug.xen.prgmr.com. More details will be posted on
https://prgmr.com/blog/ when possible.

We have allocated up to two hours after 2017-04-01 02:00:00 UTC for
downtime, though we expect it to take much less time than this.

You will receive a credit for this downtime based on how long the
service is unavailable. We will send an email to the account primary and
technical contacts when the host server is brought down and when it is
started again.

If this time window does not work for you, we may be able to move your
VM to a different host server in advance of this window, though
depending on disk size the total downtime for this move may exceed the
downtime from staying on the same host server.

You may want to review the grub configuration file /boot/grub/menu.lst
(typical, used with pv-grub) or grub.cfg (with grub2) in advance of this
reboot to verify it is sane and has a valid default entry. You may also
wish to verify you are still able to log into the management console
https://wiki.prgmr.com/mediawiki/index.php/Management_Console in advance
of the reboot. We will allow 5 minutes for the VM to shut down from the
time that the shutdown signal is sent before performing an unclean
shutdown. If you are concerned this is not enough time, please contact
us or shut them down yourself 10 minutes prior to the maintenance
window.

If you have any other questions or concerns please contact us.

Regards,
Prgmr.com support
