A quick follow up regarding the emergency maintenance that took place last night. Work started at roughly 9:50PM EST, and service was fully restored by approximately 10:15PM EST. During the rebuilding of the RAID array all services were available, but servers’ performance was degraded. As of 2:30AM EST the RAID array was fully rebuilt, and all services are functioning normally at this time.
If you require any assistance or have any questions please feel free to let me know.
Please be aware that one of the hard drives in websrv01 has predictive failure, meaning that it is possible the drive could fail in the not-so-distant future. I have scheduled a Dell technician to be onsite this evening at 10:00PM EST to replace the drive in the machine, which requires me to schedule 30 to 60 minutes of downtime.
Downtime: Thursday, October 13th, 2011 @ 10:00PM EST for approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
Once the drive is replaced the server will be brought back online and will continue to operate while the RAID array is being rebuilt. You may notice some slowness of service over the next 24 hours while the array is being restored. We apologize for any inconvenience.
