Just few days ago, Linode did the hardware upgrade at Fremont data center. After that, I wait until today. I ask the support, when I can get the new CPU. The support replied and advise me that it will be a upgrade migration procedure.
I checked my Linode Manager control panel. Her it is. a huge yellow zone remind me there is a migration pending for me.
I follow the instruction, first click the shut down button, then click the Migrate to fremont649.linode.com Now button.
Wait about five minutes, I boot the linode.
