Server outage. Again
« on: August 17, 2011, 12:20:26 AM »
Again the Datacenter has had a power issue and again the server is now back up.

Bringing up various services now will post again when I think all is up again.

I for one am tired of this and will be investigating moving to a new DC soon.  Stay tuned for more information.

Edit: Everything should be up and running now.

First! Had to do it.

Once or twice isn't too bad. If it keeps happening though I'd say move elsewhere.

Welll... it's kept happening so we're moving.  Just as soon as I figure out the details on that.

Ah, I was only familiar with these two.

Hope you find a new homeworld. I mean data center.

It should be fairly seamless.  I'm sticking with the same host just moving to one of their other datacenters.  The company they contract with for this datacenter just doesn't seem to understand the concept of actually providing power.  Every downtime but one we've had has been power related, and every single one has been because of their UPS(Uninterruptible power supply) failed.  First we had was a power outage in the area and their UPSes failed to actually switch over.  second time their UPSes just died for no reason, third time they moved us to a new system because hardware was damage, fourth time... You guessed it!  UPS failed again.

I'm going to try to do this on the weekend, hopefully while everyone is asleep to avoid interruptions as much as possible.  The biggest portion will be DNS updates as the IP will change.

Forsooth! We will not have access while the change propagates!
