I'll be upgrading the SG and JP mining nodes in about 17 and 17 1/2 hours at:
SG 1-Apr 23:00 UTC
JP 1-Apr 23:30 UTC
The web site shows this now also.
The expected outage is less than 5 minutes for each node.
I've separated the update by 30mins in case anyone is mining to them both as primary and backup - they won't need to change anything.
If you only mine to one Kano node and it's one of those two nodes, make sure you also have a secondary backup Kano node.
No other mining will be affected - only SG and JP.
Reminder - this is in 40 minutes for SG and then 30 minutes after that for JP
SG upgrade completed as expected.
I stopped the node connections at 23:00:06 UTC
Node upgrade was completed, bitcoin restarted, then node accepting connections at 23:04:31 UTC
JP next in 11 minutes.
Edit: JP upgrade completed as expected also.
I stopped the node connections at 23:30:08 UTC
Node upgrade was completed, bitcoin restarted, then node accepting connections at 23:34:14 UTC

FYI next will be NL and DE in the next few days.
This will be done very differently and take a number of hours since it will be switching miners between the 2 two nodes via DNS and back again using disconnects.
The redirect function of ckpool ignores the port the connection was made on, so I won't be using that.
Thus it will appear as a simple disconnect/reconnect a couple of times on each node during the upgrades, but no actual outages.
