Ultrax outage 00:00 Sat to 08:00 Sat

[trm]

Hi all,

I know some people on here have accounts on the Ultrax systems so as an FYI the colo provider is making power distribution upgrades tonight from midnight Fri/Sat to latest 0800 Sat. Therefore lois will be down amongst others.

The host is set to power-up as soon as facility power is present so things should be back online between 0400 and 0800 Saturday.

Sorry for the short notice

ps This will not affect ukvac apart from any hyperlinks that point to lois.ultrax will be temporarily unavailable. And if they weren't doing this I'd have had greater than five 9s uptime for the year

Scheduled maintenance is scheduled maintenance dude whatever your agreements and contracts may be. It's unscheduled outages that you want to be pissed about!

I appreciate what you're saying (especially having arranged plenty of scheduled and somewhat less un-scheduled maintenance myself

) but I'm still slightly narked as I bought twin PSUs for the server and pay for twin power outlets and twin nic uplinks to avoid this kind of outage. The first blip in service and the quite expensive redundancy options I bought were useless!

But it's all back now
