We'll make an update of the virtual hardware in order to switch the network cards of the vm on VMXNET3.
Maintenance is scheduled for the night of Monday, March 11 to Tuesday to March 12, 2013 starting from midnight.
We'll just reboot the vm, for those who are not yet updated. The cut-off will not exceed 10 minutes per vm.
This update brings a performance optimization on the network and also avoids the lag observable of use.
Date: 2013-03-14 06:13:52 UTC The whole infrastructure is updated. All network cards VPS Cloud is now on the virtual hardware VMXNET3.
Date: 2013-03-14 06:12:53 UTC About 70% of the infrastructure is updated.

Date: 2013-03-13 14:03:55 UTC The maintenance is scheduled on the night between Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th March from midnight.
Date: 2013-03-12 06:03:52 UTC We have detected an anomaly. The vcloud does not know apparently how to reconnect itself network cards after the update of the virtual hardware, it is compulsory to do it manually in this status.
We prefer to abolish the update for tonight so that we won't cause interruptions to the service.
The update will therefore be recovered tomorrow night at the same time.
Date: 2013-03-12 05:59:55 UTC About 20% of the infrastructure is updated.
Date: 2013-03-12 05:59:16 UTC We will start the intervention within few minutes.
We have established vhost lists beforehand which are already in benefit of the update to avoid useless reboots.
