| Soooooooooo
I've been getting these emails from the datacenter the mud server is
hosted in. They're doing a planned outage in order to prevent a
potential unplanned outage.
They'll be replacing some power circuits and I frankly do not
remember if the server has two power supplies. If it does we will
see no downtime. They'll turn off one power circuit, the server will
use the other, then switch back.
If it does not have two power supplies, the mud will be down for a
bit. The scary thing here is that this server has been up for 2+
years with no interruption and is quite old at this point. I am only
like 90% confident that it will come back up.
If this is the case there will be some extended downtime while we
move to something new. There are daily backups and plenty of fun
stuff so don't worry about that, just be prepared a bit :)
A Scheduled Maintenance is due to be performed as outlined below.
UPDATE: Third Notice
DATE: 2/03/2015
START TIME: 2:00 a.m. MST (GMT -7)
END TIME: 5:00 a.m. MST (GMT -7)
LENGTH OF MAINTENANCE WINDOW: 3 hours
REASON FOR MAINTENANCE:
a. Repairing manufacturer defect to prevent an unplanned outage
MAINTENANCE DETAILS:
Prevent inner windings of transformer core from rubbing on
outer windings
CET.s (Critical Environment Technicians) to repair a
manufacturer defect
IMPACT ON CUSTOMERS: Critical / Priority 4 . We expect your servers
will experience a loss of power during the repairs to the PDB (Power
Distribution Board). If you are utilizing our A-side and B-side
infrastructure as a primary / redundant configuration, you should
see no disruption of service. If you are only fed from this board,
or if you have devices with single power supplies connected to only
this board, there will be a short outage on any equipment connected
to this circuit. |
