Q u o t e: Are we sure today's extended maintenance was to perform the hardware maintenance needed to fix the instance creation issue? I do not see a third batch of servers listed in the instance creation issue sticky (just the first two batch of servers).
While this maintenance was a step in the process of the reconfiguration, it was not the final step. We will need to perform additional maintenance to complete the process.
Additionally, please direct your feedback to the thread that has already been stickied regarding this subject.
