It is impossible to move quickly these servers since they dispose of a snapshot done by customers through a paid option.
In order to ensure the best service, we are going to contact personally the owners of these VPS to know whether it is possible to to delete their snapshots so we can switch without disrupting the service.
If ever the snapshot had an importance or in case we couldn't be able to contact the customer, we will be obliged to interrupt the service for some time to switch the disks (VPS switched off)
The deadline to contact these customers is fixed until Thursday the 25th August 2011.
After this date, VPS will be switched off on Friday the 26th August from 01h00 in the morning the time to move properly to the new filers.
The integrity of data is of certainly guaranteed. However, the bigger VPS disk is, longer the switching takes.
Update(s):
Date: 2011-08-26 00:38:28 UTC The following VPS have been successfully switched:
The intervention will be performed as shown below :
- VPS will be shut down with the software way in the beginning(by OS) as long as we can.
Otherwise, they will be simply shut down on 'hardware'
- Then,the disks and their snapshots will be migrated on the new filers
- Eventually,VPS will be started.
In accordance with the size of the disk the intervention can last up to one hour per VPS. However, as there is especially 10G drives, we think it will be done before 3:00.
More informations will be available during the intervention.

Date: 2011-08-17 14:21:16 UTC 7 more VPS were successfully migrated:
However, we have a few problems with the host hosting the following vps:
vps18680 vps10322 vps11148 vps11197 vps17887
Le host ESXi refuses to be incorporated at the vCenter, and does not allow us to move the discs on the spot.
In order not to provoke an interruption of service, we prefer to leave this host on this status. These 5 VPS will obligatory be part of the forced updating to be carried out next week.
For the remaining les vps, we are still contacting their owners.
