摘要（太长不看版）

据lowendtalk上的消息（已被官方证实），自2023年10月1日起，受上游Multacom影响，洛杉矶DC02机房上的IP将被替换。

更换时间根据节点变化，具体为

节点LAXSSD1* to LAXSSD3* -- 10月1日-15日
节点LAXSSD4* to LAXSSD6* -- 10月15日-31日
节点LAXSSD7* to LAXSSD9* — 11月1日-15日
节点LAX0* — 11月1日-15日

博主猜测原因是前端时间IP归属变Amazon了，应该是把以前IP换掉了

具体新换的段还未知！不知道实际情况！

We are reaching out to update you on an important IPv4-related change happening at our Los Angeles DC-02 location, which based on our records, one or more of your VPS services are currently hosted. If you have multiple services with us, please be aware that this only impacts KVM VPS services hosted out of our Los Angeles DC-02 location. All other datacenter locations of ours remain unaffected. To clarify, this change will only affect your IPv4 address; your data will remain intact, and entirely unaffected. IPv6 addresses also will not be changed.

Our upstream provider in Los Angeles DC-02 (Multacom) has initiated an IPv4 network renumbering project -- a change that is set to impact all downstream clients, including RackNerd. The renumbering process is pivotal for aligning with the long-term vision and expansion plans of the Multacom datacenter, which is now part of the EdgeCentres family.

Please note, that you will not experience any price changes, and additionally, we understand that our Los Angeles DC-02 location continues to experience remarkable popularity, notably among users in the US west coast, Oceania, and Asia. The top-tier network performance at our Los Angeles DC-02 location will continue as you have come to expect.

To give you a clearer picture, we operate over 500 hypervisors (also known as host nodes) at this specific location. To ensure a smooth transition, we'll roll out this update in a structured and phased manner. Here's a breakdown of the scheduled IP migrations:

The IP renumbering will be conducted in the following batches:

Node names beginning with LAXSSD1* to LAXSSD3* -- Oct 1 to Oct 15, 2023
Node names beginning with LAXSSD4* to LAXSSD6* -- Oct 15 to Oct 31, 2023
Node names beginning with LAXSSD7* to LAXSSD9* — Nov 1 to Nov 15, 2023
Node names beginning with LAX0* — Nov 1 to Nov 15, 2023

How do you know what node your VPS is on? Log into the SolusVM control panel located at https://nerdvm.racknerd.com/ and click on "Manage" on the VPS in question. Once you do, you'll see a table column for "Node". Here’s a video tutorial on how to do so.

The renumbering process will be automated but closely monitored by our Engineering team. You can expect to receive an email with the subject line "[RackNerd] New IP Address Assigned" once the process is completed for your VPS. This email will include your newly assigned IP address details. Alternatively, you can sporadically check SolusVM during the respective timeframe; if you notice an IP change, you'll find the new information there. Given the sheer volume of the VMs involved, this is a sizable operation and will be systematically carried out over multiple weeks. After the new IP is assigned, we will automatically utilize the "Reconfigure Network" feature by SolusVM to automatically update your server's operating system network configuration over to the new IP address. All said and done, there should be less than a few minutes of downtime per VM.

Just to be clear, this is only an IP address change - and your data/settings/etc will remain fully intact.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, and we are quite confident that the long-term benefits will make it worthwhile. Once the Multacom datacenter is fully integrated with the EdgeCentres network, we're excited to tap into their extensive capabilities and various points of presence. For context, you may have seen that our LA DC-02 location has frequently been out of stock over the past year. This has been largely due to constraints at the Multacom datacenter, especially when it comes to available space and limited facility power, which have been limiting our ability to grow. Now that Multacom is becoming a part of EdgeCentres, we're optimistic these roadblocks will be cleared. This paves the way not just for our growth at LA DC-02, but also for expanding into new datacenter locations with EdgeCentres, which in turn means more locations for our customers to deploy services out of.

Your continued trust in RackNerd is highly appreciated, and our team stands ready to assist you with any questions you may have through this transition. If you have any special requests or require unique accommodations related to this change, please respond to this email within 7 days (the sooner, the better). We will do our utmost to understand your requirements and strive to accommodate them to the best of our ability.

Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued partnership with us. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please e-mail our Engineering team directly at: [email protected]

Thank You,

我们正在联系您，向您通报我们洛杉矶 DC-02 地点发生的与 IPv4 相关的重要变化，根据我们的记录，该地点当前托管着您的一项或多项 VPS 服务。 如果您拥有我们的多项服务，请注意，这只会影响在我们洛杉矶 DC-02 位置托管的 KVM VPS 服务。 我们的所有其他数据中心位置均不受影响。 需要澄清的是，此更改只会影响您的 IPv4 地址； 您的数据将保持完整，并且完全不受影响。 IPv6 地址也不会改变。

我们位于洛杉矶 DC-02 (Multacom) 的上游提供商启动了 IPv4 网络重新编号项目，这一更改将影响包括 RackNerd 在内的所有下游客户。 重新编号过程对于符合 Multacom 数据中心的长期愿景和扩展计划至关重要，该数据中心现已成为 EdgeCentres 系列的一部分。

请注意，您不会遇到任何价格变化，此外，我们了解到，我们的洛杉矶 DC-02 地点继续受到欢迎，特别是在美国西海岸、大洋洲和亚洲的用户中。 我们的洛杉矶 DC-02 地点将继续如您所期望的那样提供顶级网络性能。

为了让您更清楚地了解情况，我们在此特定位置运行 500 多个虚拟机管理程序（也称为主机节点）。 为了确保平稳过渡，我们将以结构化、分阶段的方式推出此更新。 以下是计划的 IP 迁移的详细信息：

IP重新编号将分以下批次进行：

以 LAXSSD1* 至 LAXSSD3* 开头的节点名称 -- 2023 年 10 月 1 日至 15 日
以 LAXSSD4* 至 LAXSSD6* 开头的节点名称 -- 2023 年 10 月 15 日至 10 月 31 日
以 LAXSSD7* 到 LAXSSD9* 开头的节点名称 — 2023 年 11 月 1 日至 11 月 15 日
以 LAX0* 开头的节点名称 — 2023 年 11 月 1 日至 11 月 15 日
你怎么知道你的VPS在哪个节点上？ 登录位于 https://nerdvm.racknerd.com/ 的 SolusVM 控制面板，然后单击相关 VPS 上的“管理”。 完成后，您将看到“节点”的表列。 这是有关如何执行此操作的视频教程。

重新编号过程将自动化，但由我们的工程团队密切监控。 一旦您的 VPS 完成该过程，您可能会收到一封主题为“[RackNerd] 已分配新 IP 地址”的电子邮件。 此电子邮件将包含您新分配的 IP 地址详细信息。 或者，您可以在相应的时间范围内偶尔检查 SolusVM； 如果您发现 IP 发生变化，您会在那里找到新信息。 考虑到所涉及的虚拟机数量巨大，这是一项相当大的操作，将在数周内系统地执行。 分配新的 IP 后，我们将自动利用 SolusVM 的“重新配置网络”功能，自动将服务器的操作系统网络配置更新为新的 IP 地址。 总而言之，每个虚拟机的停机时间应该少于几分钟。

需要明确的是，这只是 IP 地址更改 - 您的数据/设置/等将保持完整。

对于给您带来的任何不便，我们深表歉意，并且我们非常有信心，长期利益将使其变得值得。 一旦 Multacom 数据中心与 EdgeCentres 网络完全集成，我们很高兴能够利用其广泛的功能和各个存在点。 作为背景信息，您可能已经看到，我们的 LA DC-02 门店在过去一年中经常缺货。 这主要是由于 Multacom 数据中心的限制，特别是在可用空间和有限的设施功率方面，这限制了我们的发展能力。 现在 Multacom 正在成为 EdgeCentres 的一部分，我们乐观地认为这些障碍将会被清除。 这不仅为我们在 LA DC-02 的发展铺平了道路，而且还为通过 EdgeCentres 扩展到新的数据中心位置铺平了道路，这反过来又意味着我们的客户可以在更多位置部署服务。

非常感谢您对 RackNerd 的持续信任，我们的团队随时准备帮助您解决过渡期间可能遇到的任何问题。 如果您有任何特殊要求或需要与此更改相关的特殊调整，请在 7 天内回复此电子邮件（越早越好）。 我们将尽最大努力了解您的要求，并尽力满足您的要求。

感谢您的理解、合作以及与我们持续的伙伴关系。 如果您对此有任何疑问或疑虑，请直接向我们的工程团队发送电子邮件：[email protected]

谢谢你，

Our Los Angeles DC-02 facility continues to see sustained high demand, particularly from users across the US west coast, Oceania, and Asia. This location operates out of the Multacom datacenter (our upstream provider) located at 707 Wilshire Blvd., which is now part of the EdgeCentres family.

Since Multacom joining the EdgeCentres family of brands, my team and I have had several in-depth discussions with EdgeCentres management, both virtually and in person, in Downtown LA. We're quite optimistic about their long-term strategy and their aggressive expansion initiatives. We believe that in the long run, these developments will translate into benefits for you, our end users, and will also pave the way for us to tap into new markets in the foreseeable future.

Our clients and prospective clients may have noticed that our Los Angeles DC-02 inventory has frequently been sold out throughout the past year. The reason behind this has been Multacom's limitations in terms of facility space and power capabilities to support our rapid growth. Now, with Multacom becoming a part of EdgeCentres, these bottlenecks are expected to be addressed, allowing us to not only continue our expansion but also to maintain more consistent inventory availability in this popular location.

An element of our upstream provider (Multacom’s) integration into EdgeCentres is the renumbering of IPv4 addresses and the consolidation of smaller IPv4 CIDR blocks that were holding up entire /24's. Given the network's scale, the IPv4 renumbering project will be implemented in multiple phases. While this does cause a minor inconvenience in the short term for all downstream clients of Multacom (including us and thus our end-users), we are confident that the long term benefits will outweigh the short-term challenges.

I want to be completely transparent about the intricacy of this renumbering process. We're talking about managing more than 500 physical host nodes in just this location, not to mention the countless individual virtual machines that reside here. Our team is zeroed in on trying to make this as seamless as possible for our customers.

To help ease the transition, we’re incorporating the following measures:

Automated Reconfiguration: Once your new IP(s) have been assigned, we will automatically attempt to "reconfigure network" via SolusVM for your VPS, meaning most of you won't have to manually adjust any network settings within your OS level, unless you're on a custom OS.

Personalized Email Notifications: Instead of simply telling our customers to refer to SolusVM to know their new IP, we'll send out individual emails with the new IP address for your VPS. This adds an extra layer of convenience for you.

Clear Documentation: The email notification will also include the old IP address for easy reference, making the transition transparent.

Consistent IP Count for Multi-IP Customers: If you have multiple IPv4 addresses assigned to your VPS, there’s no need to worry about any count-discrepancies during the transition. We'll assess the number of IPs currently allocated to your VM and ensure that you receive an equivalent number of new replacement IPs. This way, you won’t have to go through the hassle of requesting additional IPs post-renumbering.

Billing System Updates: We'll update your service records in our billing/support system (WHMCS) with the new IP(s) to eliminate any confusion when managing your services or seeking support.

Minimal Downtime: All said and done, we are talking about under 2 minutes of downtime on average per VM.

This change will not result in any pricing changes to our clients. RackNerd remains steadfast in our mission to provide unparalleled reliability and top-notch service. Additionally, for those curious if there will be any network carrier related changes - the good news is that you can expect the same robust network performance (Multacom’s BGP blend) in this location to remain the same.

Once we cross this bridge, we look forward to new horizons (additional datacenter locations and more consistent inventory availability in Los Angeles DC-02).

We greatly value your ongoing support and the trust you've placed in RackNerd as your provider. Feel free to reach out if anyone has any questions!

我们的洛杉矶 DC-02 设施持续满足持续的高需求，特别是来自美国西海岸、大洋洲和亚洲的用户。 该位置由位于 707 Wilshire Blvd. 的 Multacom 数据中心（我们的上游提供商）运营，该数据中心现已成为 EdgeCentres 系列的一部分。

自从 Multacom 加入 EdgeCentres 品牌系列以来，我和我的团队在洛杉矶市中心与 EdgeCentres 管理层进行了多次深入的讨论，无论是虚拟的还是面对面的。 我们对他们的长期战略和积极的扩张举措非常乐观。 我们相信，从长远来看，这些发展将为您（我们的最终用户）带来利益，并为我们在可预见的未来开拓新市场铺平道路。

我们的客户和潜在客户可能已经注意到，我们的洛杉矶 DC-02 库存在过去一年中频繁售空。 其背后的原因是 Multacom 在支持我们快速增长的设施空间和电力能力方面受到限制。 现在，随着 Multacom 成为 EdgeCentres 的一部分，这些瓶颈预计将得到解决，使我们不仅能够继续扩张，而且能够在这个受欢迎的地点保持更一致的库存可用性。

我们的上游提供商 (Multacom) 集成到 EdgeCentres 的一个要素是对 IPv4 地址进行重新编号，并整合支撑整个 /24 的较小 IPv4 CIDR 块。 鉴于网络规模，IPv4重新编号项目将分多个阶段实施。 虽然这确实在短期内给 Multacom 的所有下游客户（包括我们以及我们的最终用户）带来了轻微的不便，但我们相信长期利益将超过短期挑战。

我想对这个重新编号过程的复杂性完全透明。 我们正在讨论的是仅在这个位置管理 500 多个物理主机节点，更不用说驻留在此处的无数单独的虚拟机了。 我们的团队致力于为我们的客户提供尽可能无缝的服务。

为了帮助简化过渡，我们采取了以下措施：

自动重新配置：分配您的新 IP 后，我们将自动尝试通过 SolusVM 为您的 VPS“重新配置网络”，这意味着您中的大多数人无需在操作系统级别内手动调整任何网络设置，除非您 使用自定义操作系统。

个性化电子邮件通知：我们不会简单地告诉我们的客户参考 SolusVM 了解他们的新 IP，而是会发送包含您 VPS 的新 IP 地址的单独电子邮件。 这为您增加了额外的便利。

清晰的文档：电子邮件通知还将包含旧的 IP 地址以方便参考，从而使过渡透明。

多 IP 客户的一致 IP 计数：如果您有多个 IPv4 地址分配给您的 VPS，则无需担心过渡期间出现任何计数差异。 我们将评估当前分配给您的虚拟机的 IP 数量，并确保您收到同等数量的新替换 IP。 这样，您就不必在重新编号后经历请求额外 IP 的麻烦。

计费系统更新：我们将使用新的 IP 更新您在计费/支持系统 (WHMCS) 中的服务记录，以消除管理您的服务或寻求支持时的任何混乱。

最短停机时间：总而言之，我们讨论的是每个虚拟机的平均停机时间不到 2 分钟。

这一变化不会给我们的客户带来任何价格变化。 RackNerd 始终坚定不移地履行我们的使命，即提供无与伦比的可靠性和一流的服务。 此外，对于那些好奇是否会有任何与网络运营商相关的变化的人来说，好消息是您可以期望该位置同样强大的网络性能（Multacom 的 BGP 混合）保持不变。

一旦跨过这座桥梁，我们就会期待新的视野（洛杉矶 DC-02 的更多数据中心位置和更一致的库存可用性）。

我们非常重视您持续的支持以及您对 RackNerd 作为您的提供商的信任。 如果有人有任何疑问，请随时与我们联系！
