I need to shutdown the database server tonight at midnight eastern time to access the BIOS and rebuild a RAID array. I have software which is supposed to allow me to do it without rebooting but it's not working right and that means boot and BIOS. It will have roughly 30 minutes to reconfigure the server and move some files around.

The site will be offline from 12:00AM to 12:30AM EST (9-9:30PM Pacific, 5-5:30AM GMT).

 

Thanks for the heads up but I'll be either asleep or passed out by then.

What time is that in Australia?
