Tony Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 We have been notified by the raid card on the Marlin server that the raid cards backup battery has failed. As a result we will be replacing it Wednesday April 28th between 9am and 12pm CDT. This will require us to take the machine off line to perform this window as a result there will be about 30 minutes of down time. This is a necessary maintenance as right now the server has disabled write caching which significantly reduces performance. The battery also protects the system from data loss in case of power failure. Date: 04/28/2010 Start time (CDT): 9:00am End time (CDT): 12:00pm Estimated Down Time: 30 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Everything should be back online now. The down time was only about 15-20 minutes for all VPS's on this node. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
