Maintenance Day

This is what maintenance "day" ( takes me about an hour ) looks like. There are ways to automate most of this process (see OSG forums for that) but i prefer to to it manually, so i can keep good track of what i'm doing. Mind that pulling a OAR and backups of everyting is pretty useless if you do not copy the files and safely store those elsewhere. ( I learned this by Diskcrash ! )


OAR's generated of all regions - check
change region regionname
save oar somename.oar
Rinse and repeat for each region, upload copy OAR files to clouddrive.
(For convenience, save a copy of every instance's gridcommon.ini / regions.ini / opensim.ini along with the OAR's).

MySQL database dumped to file - check
Open MySQL command line and login :
mysqldump -uMyusername -p NameofMyDatabase > OSgriddata.sql
Upload copy of file to clouddrive

OSgrid software up to date for all regions - check
Download Here

Inventory cleaned & trash wiped- check
Delete stuff that generates errors or shows up missing
empty trash
login to OSgrid website, and in profile, empty trash
wait 15 minutes, relog.

IAR generated ( save iar user name /* password filename.iar )- check. Upload a copy to clouddrive.

That completes the maintenance cycle, and ensures that i have all my shit, even if things bork, explode or go missing.

Red Dragon IX Migrated to SQL

Last week a new Red Dragon Club emerged on the grid. Its just above the old (and lost) Red Dragon Nite Club sims on the map. After loading the 25-6 OSG version, the region has also been upgraded to use SQL, rather than SQLlite, boosting it's performance a bit.

In the build you can find various theme's and lounges, like a beach theme, a park theme, some bars, and there are multiple dancefloors to be found. Also a 100+ seat conference room was installed, and in the upcoming weeks we will rebuild our shops  with gestures, -*RDS*- design builds, and more. For now, you will need to fly around, as we have not yet instated a proper teleport system, but you can find all the goodies in this 1 building once done.

If your looking for a space to run IE a gallery, or if you would like free  advertising or shopping space, feel free to contact Foxx Bode.  Red Dragon Club has several spaces available for you to host your goods & wares free of charge. Also when you need to host any event, Red Dragon Club can offer a suitable space, live streaming music,with a great atmosphere in of one of the grids hottest danceclubs.
