the simulator upgrade is now completed. However there are still issues with Inventory and bakes. Until those issues are resolved the grid is not serviceable and will remain login restricted. We cannot give an estimate on the additional delay, but are doing our best to resolve the issues quickly.
So far the following changes and upgrades were performed:
-New simulator binary for all simulators using Gloebit as the main currency
-New binary package for grid services
-Updates to configuration system for grid
-Updates to configuration system for simulators, centralized configuration for configs
-Database updates to centralize currency across entire grid
-Update to newer operating system release, all servers now running the same operating system
-Removed database logging overhead from I/O load, increasing limits for connections
-Changed memory clearing behavior to reduce I/O load, switched to low-mem mode for database queries and increasing user limits
Additional changes and upgrades to perform:
-Setup XBakes module to reduce load on simulators rebaking avatars
-Cleanup search tables, remove stale entries, reset ordering
-Cleanup configuration files in line with simple config files for grid and simulators
Sorry it is taking so long but it is better to have it working right than to have problems down the line
