If you build a second server you will not need any down time.  You get
the second server working and vos move everything there.  Then
shutdown or rebuild the first server.  It makes sense to just upgrade
the first server and keep it.  Then next time you want to upgrade it
is a lot less work.  If you do it this way you will want to use Russ
Allbery's mvto:
