If i recall Ebay was trying to do an OS upgrade or operation without the appropriate Solaris Patch loaded - no backup system was in place, and this wasnt part of scheduled maintenance. in the good old days (pre internet) you did this on a test system and then migrated it to the production system when you were sure it was bulletproof - even then you had only a limited amount of users and could easily control access.

Is there a standard definition for planned downtime? It seems to me that an experienced IT shop with the right equipment, architecture and experience would have a significant advantage.
