[quote:5117871d35="caker"]I would like for a few of you waiting for the upgrades on hosts 9-26 to test a self-serve migration feature in the LPM before releasing it to the masses.

Once you accept (by clicking a button) your Linode will enter a "Migration Queue". The queue limits the number of concurrent migrations of Linodes per datacenter. You leave your Linode running and when your turn in the Queue comes around your Linode will be shutdown, migrated, upgraded to the correct resources, and booted.

Thank for the help!

Chris,
Just did the migration from host26 to host73.

As I’ve come to expect with Linode, it was quick (<10 min), easy, and painless.

Thanks for the great tools and the continual server upgrades!

I just migrated my Linode from 12 to 73, it worked perfectly.

I’ve also learned (again!) that I need to check the forums more often; I expect my etch upgrade this morning would have gone more quickly with the extra memory!

Steve, with a Linode 64^H^H80^H^H128^H^H^H256!

[quote:a4e4747ddb="PaulC"]Just to confirm – the existing Fremont hosts will be upgraded at some point in the near future, correct? this migration is optional?

What happens to the IP address(es) – does it/they change if a linode is migrated within the same datacenter? i.e. if I migrated, would I also have to update my DNS records and wait for them to propagate?

If you want the upgrades now, I suggest doing the migration. Everything moves with you. You press the button, your node is shutdown, disk images migrated, and then your node is rebooted. No changes are required on your end.

[quote:fe38356838="caker"]Done. There’s a new link which appears at the top right of the Job Queue table — Show more Jobs (and Show fewer Jobs). It doesn’t persist across refreshes, but I think that’s good enough…[/quote]

Cool – it’s handy to have a look if you’ve got trouble – not something you need to see every day.

[quote="sweh"]2) while the migration is happening the dashboard status is "Brand New". Should say "Migrating" [/quote]
Also fixed.

Hi,

Migration went very smoothly – took 14 minutes (had about 3 gigs to move).

New host much more responsive so far.

Thanks

Jon

I had to leave to go to work while the migration was running but I got my "up!" page at 7:24, 26 minutes after the migration started.

Everything seemed to go without a hitch.
