Basically on Thursday 23rd of November we plan to put the revelations code branch onto TQ and test a few basic things.
Server startup (does the server start up correctly). Market startup (does the market services start correctly). Agent missions (is it possible to use agents as intended). Session changes (can you jump between systems, lose your ship, swap ships etc).
These are some of the main problems we have everytime we do such a big patch. With the release of Dragon, the problems we had was that the server wouldnÆt start correctly and when that was fixed the **** market wouldnÆt start in all regions. With the tests we have planned, we hope to iron out these problems and catch them before we do the full release.
We have a battle plan in office exactly how we are going to do this. The server will remain closed, so only CCP personal can connect. The main reason for this is we only have a 10 min time frame, so we do not want any lag and we will not be using TQÆs database, we will be using SISIÆs. ItÆs not possible to use TQÆs database because it would mean updating it to the revelations code branch and that simply isnÆt possible as we need to revert TQ back to dragon.
Hopefully if all goes well we can do this on Thursday, Friday and Monday. We really hope we will find any problems we might have on the Thursday, Friday then have a stable test on the Monday and do more advanced tests after that. Helping to make deployment a smooth ride.
Normal operations of TQ will continue as normal. The cluster will be started at 11:45 and will allow connections about 12:00.
As a lot of you peeps have been around some time now, you will understand why we want and need to do this.

First thought: OMG!
This could be a very good way of making sure, that the patch-DT will pass without really big problems. But: Can you promise, that you won¦t damage anything, which could prevent the startup under Dragon? This looks like a very dangerous experiment.

i'll be honest. it's not been done before and we don't know for sure it will help us. but unless we try, we gain nothing. if it doesn't work only thing we have lost is a few hour in the day for a few people. got to be worth it imo.
however, if it works. well it will make deployment smoother and it's something CCP can do for other large patches

Okay I am glad all the Euros are saying this is okay, what the CRAP is CCP thinking. Thrusday is a major US holiday which means US players will be lining up to enjoy some play time. So you are gonna test stuff on the holiday? Guys this is seriously crazy save it for Friday but PLEASE do not do this on a major US holiday and risk making the US players have to sit on their thumbs!

i would suggest keeping various shamen/priests/witchdoctors on site before startup. both on the 23rd and 28th.
maybe even sacrifice a few virgins and goats, just to play on the safe side.

Just saying..... But, in all seriousness, and with all sincerity, good luck. I REALLY hope you learn something from the process. And even if you don't, KEEP TRYING.

You know this attitude is pathetic, I would call for the same consideration for a major holliday ANYWHERE a big player base was. It is not about it being US based but rather a fact that 30% or better of the subscribers are about to have a major free day at once and they are doing a test that in theory could ruin that day for those players.

Edited by: Feng Schui on 23/11/2006 05:39:22 ok... for the USA naysayers...
I'm on EST.. which means, I'm "closer" to GMT than central / west coast peeps..
downtime is 6am - 7am for me.. CST: 5am - 6am PST: 3am - 4am
and I am missing a timezone.. or i suck at timezones.. one of the other.. something like that.
So if, lets say... server doesn't come back up until noon GMT (12:00 eve-time)... that is still 8 am for ME..
If you are trying to play Eve Online (or any MMORPG).. that early in the morning (unless you work 3rd shift).. and it is your day off..
Go seek help now
On second thoughts, here I was getting all happy about Revelations being patched early

Excellent idea. And to all those who are concerned about having TQ potentially crash, I believe shark pointed out they're using seperate databases. Even if it crashes it will come back up soon enough. The fewer problems we have when Revelations is deployed the better. I'd gladly sacrifice a few hours of play for a patch that doesn't require crash fixes the day it comes out. Minister of Leaky Ethics and Spiffiness |

Weren't most of the problems with the Dragon release related to the differences between the databases between Singularity and Tranquility? I fail to see how testing with the test database will prevent future problems like Dragon experienced.
More testing before release is good, though.

How certain are you that after the upgrade the downgrade will be just as smooth?
As far as I know there has never been a downgrade of TQ like that, so we might just loose a day or two of TQ due to issues downgrading and starting up the market or the agent missions and so on.
Anyway I'll see about sacrificing a goat or two and of course setting a very long skill in training.  ------------------------------------------- Should you disagree with me, well I guess that is because I disagree with you. If you have a problem with that please feel free not to tell me. |

extend the dt for 1h everey day if you need to, its a small price to pay for smooth release, losing a hour or two per day is small thing compared to broken game for months :)

Well, you don't have to worry. We are not actually upgrading anything or changing anything thats related to the normal operation of TQ. We will deploy the Kali code in a separate folder on the cluster, running on a separate database server, so the normal TQ code/database will not be touched at all. All we have to do to revert is to kill the Kali processes on the cluster and start up TQ like normally. ------ Valar Database admin - Server operations team CCP Games How to write a good bugreport |

This is pretty awesome, because it gives me the confidence to continue not cleaning up my insta collection.
On a related note, what applications do the cluster machines actually run in order to startup? Do you just hit up Tranquility.exe or what?

Everythign else would've surprised us anyways.  It's good you can look into these problems now rather then after the deployment though.

Now the people that say "Well thats what they get paid for". They don't know ****, cause they have obviously never worked in the corporate world where you can get rewarded for providing no customer service and still takin the customers money ( just ask microsoft, verizon, sony, aol, hp, tyco, or any company i have ever worked for. etc...) In the end, I expect some major hiccups with a patch the size of kali... but looking at the cool **** they are coming up with, I don't care cause I know they are prepping for it the best they can. Rock on.

hit a few problems today, we kept having nodes dying on startup. not sure why yet but it's being looked into. looks like these tests are worth us doing 
hopefully we can maybe get some more done this weekend, but i need to get clearance from the higher powers for that.

Looks like its a really good idea that your doing these tests. Keep doing them this weekend.
Personally I think you should keep doing it until it seems to be loading correctly.
Doesn't btoher me it the servers are down an extra hour sure it might cut into my play time this weekend but I would rather see this than a bad deplyment on Tuesday.
It would be a nice change to set on the server after a new deployment and see no lag/bugs/errors for a change . although I know there will be bugs but no errors and lag I can go with out.

we are not able to do them this weekend. part of the problem we are having is a firewall between sisi's database and the network TQ is on. security on the network is very high in the office and even higher in the server room in london. TQ and sisi are on different networks and are only linked through a firewall. this firewall is causing us problems. we are going to try again on monday and see if we can do it then.

sry forgot to respond to this post, been very busy 
basically the tests we tried to do was almost worthless we think. the firewall was causing some problems and it's quite possible some of the errors we saw in the logs was due to the firewall. it's also possible that there might have been errors in the logfiles that also happened on deployment night, but i dismissed them and blamed them on the firewall. there was 1 problem we had on the trials that i'm 50% sure we had on deployment night, basically it's the information passed between each node at startup was too high and screwing things up, this did happen on the trials but it could have been the firewall blocking the information and therefore screwing the nodes up.
anyways as we didn't effect TQ's normal operations with the trials, it's very possible the higher powers will let us try this again. over the next month or 2 we will be looking at a way we can try this again and maybe use the method for the 2nd part of revelations.
