#### Apologies for the recent downtime

Posted by: Abwayax

The server was offline since Thursday due to a migration performed by the hosting company, that left the server unable to boot. I had to reimage the server and set it up using the new platform.
This is my fault, because they had been sending me emails about this ahead of time and I put it off. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

> Dear Gandi Customer,
> /!\ IMPORTANT INFORMATION /!\
> We are sending you this reminder, you because you are still using our
> HVM platform to host at least one server in our Luxembourg data center
> LU-BI1.
> As we previously announced -
> https://news.gandi.net/en/2017/07/a-more-xen-future/ - we are phasing
> out HVM in favor of Xen.
> To this end, we invite you to migrate to our Xen platform before Monday,
> October 1, 2018, so that the following servers may benefit from the
> performance and stability enhancements of the Xen platform:

> If you would like to migrate to Xen, you just need to follow the steps
> outlined in our documentation here:
> https://wiki.gandi.net/en/iaas/references/grub#migrating_an_existing_hvm_server_to_xen_grub
> This migration requires running a script from the server or servers you
> want to migrate and then rebooting them, modifying the boot method used.
> Whether or not you choose to migrate ahead of time, starting on Monday,
> October 1, 2018, our team will begin changing the kernel themselves,
> along with rebooting the server. However, since we do not have access to
> your server, we cannot run the script referenced above for you.
> As such, we cannot guarantee that everything on your server will run
> properly following our intervention.
> Please note that the migration between platforms will not impact the
> billing of your server.
> Of course, our Hosting Support team is available to answer any questions
> you might have about migrating from HVM to Xen or any other topic,
> related or not. Feel free to contact them here:

> Sincerely,
> Gandi.net
