Internet Services Maintenance on Feb. 7th and 8th

Posted by

Internet Services Maintenance Windows:

Friday, February 7th: 22:00-23:59 [Aliso Viejo]

Saturday, February 8th: 22:00-23:59 [Latisys Irvine]

Dynamic Concepts is replacing our core Internet Router in our Aliso Viejo data center late Friday evening. Brief outages may occur that could disrupt persistant connections, including Telnet, SSH and remote database connections.

The Aliso Viejo servers affected are:  Client Login services (SSN’s), email.dynamic.net, webmail.dynamic.net,smtp.dynamic.net, tower.dynamic.net, plesk9.dynamic.net and a set of UniBasic/dL4 cloud and disaster recovery servers.  You can determine if your system is affected by ‘pinging’ your website or server to get your IP address.  Addresses beginning with 216.158.x.x are in Aliso Viejo.

Late Saturday evening, February 8th, Dynamic Concepts is upgrading our network topology in our Irvine data center to add additional redundancy to our core routers and switches. When we test failover redundancy, brief outages may occur that could disrupt persistant connections, including Telnet, SSH and remote database connections.

You can determine if your system is affected by ‘pinging’ your website or server  to get your IP address.  Addresses beginning with 173.0.x.x are in Irvine.

These upgrades are part of a larger maintenance window, currently scheduled for Saturday morning, February 15th, when all remaining servers and services in Aliso Viejo will be moved to our new data center in Irvine. A separate notification and details will be forthcoming.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We will post updates on these maintenance windows, as well as their completion when services are up and running. You may check on the status of our network services, at any time, by viewing our status posts at:

Announcement: Changes to ns1.dynamic.com

Posted by

Hello All,

Dynamic Concepts Inc. has changed the IP address that our main name server (DNS) is utilizing.   At this time ns1.dynamic.com now point to the new address which is 216.158.108.2.

Irvine Clients should not have any issue.

Aliso Viejo Clients have all been checked as well and should be good to go.

If you find that you’re having trouble reaching DNS you may have the old IP set, simply setting the new IP should resolve any issues.

OLD IP: 199.201.213.40

NEW IP: 216.158.108.2

If you have any issues and are unable to resolve feel free to open a ticket with us at http://tickets.dynamic.net.

Best Regards,

Dynamic Concepts Engineering Team

System Maintenance has begun.

Maintenance on the hardware cluster that hosts e-mail, web sites and ProStores servers has begun. The upgrade is expected to be complete by 06:00 PST Saturday.
Testing will be performed immediately following the migration and if all proceeds as expected, your domains will be operational on the new hardware platform.  If we experience unforseen problems with the upgrade, we will revert back to the current server. Please stay tuned for further updates.

email.dynamic.net –> Server Upgrade

Posted by

We are upgrading our Kerio Email Server this evening from 7-11pm PST, during which time email services will be offline. Incoming mail will be queued and delivered once the new server is online. Outgoing email through smtp.dynamic.net will not be affected. If you use email.dynamic.net for your outgoing email, it will remain in your outbox. After services are restored, simply click the option in your email client to Send/Receive email now.

If you use Plesk or webmail.dynamic.net for your email services, you will not be affected.

smtp.dynamic.net Server Replacement

At 3:00pm PDT, we will temporarily shutdown smtp.dynamic.net and boot up the replacement server. Downtime is expected to be less than 15 minutes while the queue empties and we copy the logs to the new server.  e-mail transmission will be delayed during the switchover, but your emails will automatically queue for the new server.

 

smtp.dynamic.net

We are having technical difficulties with smtp.dynamic.net and will be replacing the server over the next 48-hours.  Please do not open a  ticket, as we are monitoring this closely. There may be delays in the acceptance and delivery of email from this server. If you receive any bounces with the error “Delayed”, don’t worry. SMTP services are designed to automatically retry and such notifications are informational only.

webmail.dynamic.net Upgrade Status

Last night, we upgraded the webmail server that hosts email for some of our customers. In an effort to ensure that no email was lost, we synchronized the new server several days earlier and just prior to the migration. As a result, you may notice duplicate emails, or emails that you previously deleted. We apologize for the inconvenience.
