Brief Outage [Resolved]
Posted 23:02 10-Mar 2010
20:36 - 20:42
Brief outage caused by 8 servers all appearing to loose power at the same time despite being on battery/generator backups in case of failure. Currently investigating with datacenter the exact cause.
20:55
One of the storage servers isn't responding, some of you will be unable to login at the current time as a result. Should have it online in a few minutes.
20:56
Storage remounted, service fully online. Still determining original cause of the outage.
22:57
Datacenter has confirmed that a faulty power breaker tripped and had to be replaced with an on-site spare. Power was down for under 5 minutes but it took a few further minutes for the servers to boot back up. As you know we have been investigating A/B power feeds to prevent any single power fault from taking down the service.
