Dear Clients,

This is the planning of the rescheduled upgrade of the Voyced Hosted IPPBX platform to the next stable version, V6.0, over the weekend of March 22nd - 24th 2019.

Service Affected:

As always, any upgrade will be tested very extensively in our testing environment before actual implementation so that the upgrade on the live systems should go through quickly and without a flaw.
The upgrade itself is separated into two parts spread over two overnight maintenance windows and we'll create separate announcements for these steps as pre-tests have passed correctly, we get nearer the time and plannings are set.

Impact: Minor Impact. Anticipated total downtime; 10-20 minutes

Start Date: Friday, 22nd of March 2019, 23:00 PM (UTC)

End Date: Saturday, 23rd of March 2019, 07:00 AM (UTC)

Status Report: Service Status

Description
Test reboots of the related servers (on all geographic locations and all servers clusters) into the preinstalled V6.0 partition.
This ensures there are no issues when booting from the new root partition.
Servers will then be booted back into v5.5. 

The process can take between 1 and 2 hours, with no set times for restarts.
This stage requires the minimum of downtime and will allow us to check that the update to the new release is successfully performed and to determine if there are any network issues.
Reboots can cause up to 10 minutes of downtime.

We thank you for your patience and understanding and apologise for the inconvenience that this essential maintenance work may cause.
If there are any questions or concerns, please contact our technical support team.

Kind Regards

the Voyced Technical team

Timeline for this step:

Following the above announcement, here is the confirmed timescale of events for the 22nd/23rd of March, Step 1 update to v6.0.
To be as clear as possible we feel the need to separate stage 2 into two distinct parts, as detailed below, so that everyone knows what to expect.

If you have not adjusted your device's settings to the Geographic redundant version yet, you will perceive downtime during Part 2 so please adjust your settings now!
If you have set your device's settings to use the Geographic redundant settings you should not have any downtime as the various Geographic locations will take over once a service goes down on the other site9s). 
More information about these settings are available here: Basic Setup Instructions
